Chapter 1: Hammy Runs Away It was a cold night when a small boy ran, with nothing but the clothes on his back and a map of the surrounding area. It was near midnight when the boy stopped running. He was in front of a shelter with an old Victorian appearance. He knocked on the door heaving from exhaustion, and the doors opened, revealing a kindly, old lady. “What’s your name, son?” the lady inquired, “A- Alexander, Hamilton.” the small boy wheezed in between staggered breaths. “Well come on in…

It is nearly impossible to help people who do not want help. In A River Runs Through it Norman Maclean shows that no matter how much he tried to help his brother, his brother never wanted it so it never changed the outcome. Norman throughout the whole book tried to help people. He tried his hardest to help his brother Paul. Paul had many problems and that is why he could help him. Norman at the end of the book tells the whole theme of the book and that is, “You can’t help others if they do not…

imagine yourself struggling in the minor leagues playing baseball and providing too minimal of pay to support your family. Then, someone introduces you to a drug that will increase your fast twitch muscles and allow you to recover faster, hit farther, run faster, and several players in leagues above you are using it as well. Would you take it? In the late 1980’s through the early 2000’s players decided to take the chance and it started what is known as the “Steroid Era”. This era took over…

not much a sportsman when I was a younger while others played basketball or soccer I prefered to stay and inside and have long conversations with any adult I could find. The moral of this story is that you do not need to be an experienced runner to run a 5k and so that brings me to my number one myth. You Need To Be Experienced. This image represents the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of a race. The most common thought when running three miles is that its really difficult and…

At the West Seattle Beach Run 50k yesterday, there were 23 runners. My friend, Anneke, and I were numbers 22 and 23 to cross the Finish Line. For the two of us, running 31.069 miles (an ultra-marathon) was NOT about finishing the race in a certain amount of time. It was NOT about finishing before any other people. It was NOT about running at a fast pace. It was NOT about attaining a new PR (Personal Record). It was about the act of running the distance and crossing the Finish Line. It was about…

Similarly, it had a wide range of adorable, scaly, and furry animals to observe and admire. They had anything from red ruffed lemurs to matschie’s tree kangaroos. Along with providing the public a great place to spend time and learn, they also have a purpose for being student run and open to the public. While, this zoo was partially created for the public’s enjoyment is was majorly…
