Although, more sources provide the idea that the event was an act of self defense rather than the killing of innocent and defenseless colonist. To begin, the event that took place on March 5th, 1770 was known as the Boston Massacre. Many say that the massacre was the result of the red coats feeling…
My grandma always said I was the Pied Piper of Sunflower Dr. I would come down fresh off the bus or bright and early in the morning. Riding down on my Mongoose bike to go meet my friends off the bus. I would come riding down and before I could get a word out they would be crawling out and begin to follow me around for the day of playing. Grandma’s house is always a great place to go. You can get food and have a great time. But you can be there too much, especially when you live only a…

One way to reclaim their history and heritage is through the Chickasaw Cultural Center in Sulphur, Oklahoma. The cultural center is located on 109 acres of land and includes a museum,…
Life must have been irrational back in early Europe. Slap happy, drunken, and crazed people was all there was back then. The only rational people were the King and Queen, and any other royalty. A lot of stuff has changed since the medieval times in Europe, and to experience it was extraordinary. At some point time I had learned about the medieval times and what it was like, but never really experienced it. What exactly is the Renaissance Festival? I found this to be a reoccurring thought on the…
a defensive position, I would have to relearn my skills with a stick that is twice as big and learn new strategies and techniques. In that position, I had to hit the reset button on almost everything that I had been doing before. My desire to play and my new willingness to work, however, overrode my fear of failure. I took my 100% and made it into 120%, spending hours every afternoon after school perfecting my footwork and throwing a ball against the…
