Now, laws about vaccinations are up to the jurisdiction of the state. Some examples of common required vaccinations in the U.S are for Diphtheria, Haemophilus Influenza B, Hepatitis B, Pertussis (whooping…

the streaks already on my face. I kneel to the ground, my thoughts running through each other, so loud I can’t even hear my own screams of agony. I want them to stop. I need them to stop. I stay crouched there, tears streaming down my face, the hours tick ticking by, until only the sound of my heart beating remains. The rhythmic thumping fill my ears as I stand. My arms hanging motionless by my side. My eyes widen as I realize what I’ve done. “I’m so sorry.” I cover my mouth with my red hand,…

Cars come and go. People stumble in. People stumble out. I wait longer and longer for my dad. Slowly turning over each individual page of my book, till I’m finally done. As the time ticks by I can glimpse the sun’s light rising over the country side. The smooth glazing of light slowly circling around the horizon amazes me. How does it do that? More people stumble in. More people stumble out. The stench of alcohol and smoke on people as they stumble out is excruciating. The chemicals of the…

and white, right and wrong, and yes and no. Situations arise where a “maybe” might be thrown into the equation or a straight line may appear a bit blurry.

Prisoners with low hygiene that had a risk of catching lice were locked into confined, isolated, and…

According to Gordon (2009) the way to set a goal properly would be know your athlete, if the coach can’t understand the athlete they are working with he won’t know what make them tick and because of the setting goals may just not work. The athletes the coach Charlie Legg was training were at a youth level so the goals that were set were short term goals, Gordon (2009) agrees that when it comes to novice athletes, the goal should…

Tom released the pinchbug in church rather than listening to the sermon. However, they do not always get away with it when they become caught up in their little games. A demonstration of this forgetfulness is when Tom and Jim were playing with the tick, and began arguing loudly, so consequently the teacher noticed. This sloppy forgetfulness may suggest that they are not as clever as one might initially think, but humans are prone to distraction. They are still children and so this especially…

the teacher said to me, “When we are done, are you willing to immediately know if you will be in the percussion program?” to which my answer was a nervous “Yeah.” He then went about the screening, which primarily involved me clapping my hands to the tick of a metronome. I passed the screening audition. Fast forward a few years, during high school. I now had to audition for my school’s drumline. My instrument of choice was the tenor drums. I was told that since there were many students with more…

Bees are insects that are needed in today's society more than humans can imagine. Bees live in colonies that are often maintained by beekeepers. Centuries of selective breeding by humans have created honey bees that produce far more honey than the colony needs. Beekeepers harvest the honey. They provide a place for the colony to live and to store honey in. The modern beehive is made up of a series of square or rectangular boxes without tops or bottoms placed one on top of another. Inside the…

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. The ticking noise of the clock pounds in my ears, amplified by the stress of long travel and no sleep for several days. My eyes, marked by dark bags, glaze over as my mind drifts to my warm hotel bed several miles away. Shaking myself…
