Ticket to Ride

Denise grabs her water bottle and sits down, leaning her back against the mirrored wall. As she takes a sip of water, Kate sits down next to her and says, “hey” in a friendly tone. “Oh hi,” Denise replies. Kate ignores the distaste in Denise’s voice and says, “good job with the dance today. You choreographed it really well.” Denise murmurs “thank you,” and stands up, taking her water bottle to the other side of the room. Of course Kate just has to be the nice one. Yes Denise worked hard on that dance, but she wants recognition from the others, not Kate. Denise just wants to be recognized for all the hard work she’s done, the countless shows she’s choreographed and acted in, only to spend years in the ensemble. Kate walks over to Denise’s new spot and says, “you don’t seem to like me very much.” Surprised, Denise responds, “that’s not true.” “Bullshit. You’ve been rude to me since I first moved here. What gives?” She can 't tell Kate why she doesn 't like her, not to her face anyways. It isn 't that Kate is a mean person, she 's actually really nice, making it even worse. It 's just that Kate seems to get everything Denise has ever wanted, except for Jeff, but then again, Denise doesn’t have him either. Pulling Denise out of her deep thought, Kate says, "Denise I don 't blame you if you don 't like me for having the lead female role, I know you wanted it." "That’s not true, like I said, I don’t hate you.” "Yes it is. Lauren told me that you wanted it and I 'm…

The children who participate would come from families with financial instability and would not be able to take part in other extracurricular activities. The families would have to apply or be recommended by someone in order to participate to ensure that the project is not being taken advantage of. The children would be affected by having an activity to participate in during the week. The steps necessary to make Ticket to Ride actually happen would have to start by getting support from those I…

“Heartless” Strength of American Nurses Have you ever thought about how hard it is to be a nurse? How emotionally difficult it is to have a patient die in your care? Nurses do more than most people realize, they have no time to mourn every patient's death because there is always someone else who is going to need their full attention. Some may say nurses are heartless, I know I did. To be a nurse is to be mentally strong. Based on my personal experiences I have come to see that American nurses…

“Two more days until we get our girls back bro.” Ethan says to me. “We’d better get in as much practicing as we can.” “It’s been a great week.” I type as I reminisce of the past few days. Ethan and I have been in hard core training mode this week. An all protein diet and intense football practice. The past few days we have been working on just building our muscle and strength up. I need to build up as much muscle as well as cut my body fat. This will help me to block my opponents better, tackle…

How you ever asked yourself why some kids or people with special needs look they way they do? “ You might be able to spot a few kids with special needs, but you probably don’t notice all of them”(kids). However they do not want to feel like out, they want to be accepted into society, like anyone else. Because they are people, having a disability , learning delay or a deformity does not mean they are not people. They are, however their disability, learning delay and or deformity makes them much…

High school had been his private hell and now with the drama at home, life in general had become intolerable. The one thing he was thankful for was football. Being on defense, he was blessed with the ability to hit people on a regular basis. There was only one thing he disliked about football, although defense is critical in winning games, the defense was not as appreciated as the quarterback that could do no wrong. Trevor Lawrence, the bane of Alexander's existence, haunted him throughout…

When going into a movie theater they already have concessions but do you bring in your own food? Most people from the past years have been booting out the concession food and bringing their own but what do you think? People should be allowed to bring in their own food in a movie theater because food is expensive and unhealthy. It is argued, that people should not be able to bring food into a movie theater because movie theaters can go out of business. Movies theaters make their money by…

Name of the Organization: My first day of volunteering was on July 30, 2016 at Hansen Dam Aquatic Center also known as lake view terrace. I have been to this aquatic center the last two summers and I find it very convenient, fun, and very family oriented place. I decided to contact them and ask if I can volunteer. Our call time was at 10am for new volunteers. Carrie was the volunteer coordinator who showed us the facility, explain the rules, and provided us numbers to call in case of emergencies…

a dollar in a bouncer’s hand could get a better seat at a concert, the spare change wouldn’t be very hard to part with, would it? Unless the individual were extremely thirsty and needed that dollar to buy a drink, it most likely wouldn’t happen either. Using a larger bill, such as a twenty, would give a real shot of making that wish come true; which is exactly what Tom Chiarella explained throughout his article “The $20 Theory of the Universe.” As a man who considers himself as a “twenty-dollar…
