I have always loved and have had a passion for babies and taking care of them. I know and understand, that not every baby is going to survive. Trying to save as many as I possibly can, is what matters. Being apart of a team that is willing to fight along side a baby, to do absolutely everything in their power to keep the baby alive is what I would call dedication. Being a neonatal nurse practitioner, you’re always going to have to be in the game, everyone is going to be a team player. There…

going to be polite and reply?” “Why are you sitting in my grandmother’s rocker? And how do you know my name?” “I know who you are,” he whispered. Then he stood, walked over to the window and gazed out for a moment. “In fact,” he spat out sourly, “I know everything about you.” His voice sent chills down my spine, because he sounded just like the blurred figure I’d heard in my nightmare. “You know I have great powers.” I really only have one and it wasn’t much. The last time I was in…

to speak with Frank," Gerard spoke. He sat there in absolute silence, waiting for the planchette to start moving, but it didn't.

“Uh… who?” “Merryl.” I shift my backpack in my lap. “Did I miss her? No!” I twist to glance at Fiona. “Forget about her, would you?”... “Look, I know you hate her, but I’m starting to think that you're obsessing about her because you like him.” She stops wheeling and comes around to look me right in the eyes. “What kind of friend do you think I am? You're the one who likes him. The whole thing bugs me because he should be with someone like you, not her!”,” (Draanen, pg 108). This is an aha…

Words whispered under their breath. Words not meant for anyone to hear. Stepping over the fallen stones and waving away the dust, a body comes into view. A single body broken and bruised under rock.

High enough not to be seen, they can work without the fear of word getting out. That would ruin everything.…

I know what you’re thinking; nothing is scary about a poet. Well, then you’ve never read an Edgar Allan Poe piece. You may be thinking that a writer from the 1800’s is not for you, but here is why you’re wrong: 1. Poe’s writing can be scarier than your favorite horror films today.

To Be Alive Is To Be Dead Have you ever met the opposite of a zombie? You probably have, a zombie is a being that is dead but quite alive. The opposite of that is a person that is alive but quite dead. Most humans operate like robots and don’t know what's going on around them, they haven't found their purpose or realization of the purpose of life. An epiphany can bring some enlightenment or free those who are alive but “dead”. In James Joyce Dubliners there are many examples of people being…

Did you know that there are millions of people not alive today because of abortion? Some think that abortion is a horrid and sick way of dealing with an unplanned or unwanted child; pro-life, while others think of it as plan B and/or their right; pro-choice.
