The Waking

My interest in the Naval Academy came later than most. It began when I entered the Yard on May 24, 2016, and continued to grow as I stepped into Bancroft Hall and read the names of true American heroes who have given their life to the United States of America. I quickly realized that the atmosphere I would be immersed in for four years would be filled with like-minded, motivated people who would help develop and maximize my leadership skills. For the majority of my life, I have looked upon…

their innocence. Although Ka’s father must’ve believed that he could escape this horrible fortune, he was eventually informed otherwise. His home which he believed he had managed to escape, was able to catch up with him, giving him nightmares and waking him from his sleep.…

My career at the Colorado Department of Corrections has afforded me the opportunity to obtain first-rate experience in the field of criminal justice and the correctional industry. My profession began five years ago at the Colorado State Penitentiary working with maximum security offenders, as well as, behavioral at risk offenders and offenders with special needs that are categorized under the Americans with Disabilities Act. While CSP, I was assigned to both housing and security. It was in these…

If I stand next to my dad, you can tell that we’re related in some way. We both have wavy jet-black hair that likes to poof up when it gets humid. Our round-shaped eyes crinkle and our cheeks perk out when we smile with our thin lips. We also have glasses that perch upon our round nose. Our height towers above most family members. If I stand next to my mom on the other hand, you probably can’t tell that we’re related. Her straight dark-brown hair that she dyed many times, doesn’t match with my…

Boot Camp Waking up for a grueling day of school is something that I hate doing every morning. Hearing an alarm blare in my ear for what seems to be twenty minutes straight is not of what I want my mornings to consist. The process of waking up, showering and getting dressed, being engaged during school hours, and finishing homework when I get home is beyond energy draining. I often contemplate whether or not I want to put myself through this “boot camp” of a day. A normal school day for me is…

Everyone has to believe in something. Even if you say I don’t believe in anything that is a belief. I believe in something that is widely accepted and unacceptable internationally. A topic that is debated around the world is the topic of a higher being of the spiritual world. Each superior being has different names for each culture. For my culture he is known as god. In this narrative I will explain that I believe in god and why. Some people don’t believe in god because they can’t see him.…

if I’m not mistaken, will write about a physical journey or a preconceived journey that may or may not ever happen. I chose to write about something candid and raw. I chose to write about something that I, 50 years from now, may not remember every waking detail of, but…

In the book, Every Day David Leviathan created a character “A”. A is not a girl or a boy; it is basically a traveling soul. Throughout the book, A is waking up in a new body everyday not knowing whose body he is waking up in next. A tends to fall in love with a girl, Rhiannon. A does not want to lose connection with her, even though she does not know what A really is in the beginning. She struggles though out the book to realize what A is trying to teach her. A is trying to show Rhiannon how…

Every so often during the day — perhaps on the bus or during a boring lecture — our brains slip into other, more interesting thoughts as we block out the world around us. Usually, we snap back to reality fairly quickly and continue to go about our day. For most people, this kind of daydreaming is a normal occurrence and does not have any effect on how they function — aside from the odd embarrassing moment where they are caught zoning-out — however, for a population of unknown size, daydreams…
