Trampoline

The whole cheer squad was very excited and extremely sad and emotional at the same time. The squad was headed to the trampoline park in Wichita. This was the last time we would be team members, not only are we losing our team but we are losing our cheer coach Mrs. Panko. Mrs. Kebra Panko was moving into another chapter of her life, she was moving to a new town, a new school, and most importantly a whole new cheer squad. We are all very excited for her to be the cheer coach but at the same time…

However, this time of year has become increasingly a stronghold for rampant consumer spending and materialism. In consumer culture, advertising companies play to consumers’ emotions excessively.

Returning to college has been a long, emotional journey for me. When I was younger I had my life planned out believing it was God’s will also. I married my husband at the age of twenty and together we entered the ministry field. God blessed us with three wonderful kids and laid upon our hearts the notion of homeschooling. Since that time I have been a homeschooling mother and a pastor’s wife. Almost two years ago my husband suddenly passed away, leaving me reeling and trying to figure out why…

“Try your triple full” Coach Isabel said. “I don’t think I am ready. I just got it down on the trampoline, and my form isn’t perfect.” “It doesn’t have to be perfect. You have to get it down for your tumbling pass in the Olympics. You have everything else, and if you get this you will most definitely win gol---.” “Will you try it for me?” Brooklyn looked over and saw her boyfriend, Eric, standing on the bleachers with a bouquet of flowers. She hadn’t seen him in almost 9 months, as he was…

Dav, Obaid, Ya, Wal- When the children played at the gym they used the hula hoops and had me roll them and the children ran after the hula hoops. They would catch the hula hoops and run back and then roll them to me and they ran after the hula hoops each time. Dav, Ob, Ya, Wali- When the children played at the gym they used the hula hoops and held them out in front of them using their hands. And another child would take a ball and try to throw the ball through the hula hoop trying to get it to…

For an act to be courageous the act must be thought long enough to process but not long enough to prepare for mentally. One must step out of their comfort zone. Courageous acts are the act made by the less experienced bystanders, not the trained professionals. For an act to be courageous it must have a fear factor to it. Knowing that you are taking a risk…

Bruce Pleskovic walked into his Strongsville, Ohio, home with his son-in-law to find a gruesome scene waiting for him. FOX8 reports his wife, Melinda Pleskovic, was covered in blood when the panicked husband picked up the phone, telling the 911 dispatcher "I think someone killed my wife."

instrumentalist has taught me the importance of daily goals, a good work ethic, and dedication. With that in mind, I am becoming more aware that music is not just the notes on an staff but also the zipping of a jacket and even the tumbling on a trampoline floor. I believe that my five year old self would be proud of who I am becoming because I have already completed my personal goals instead of lacking improvement in the shadows of someone…

Weekend Plans Lindsay DolneyThis weekend I will be going to dance tryouts. On Friday night I went to my friend Elicia’s house. She was going to pick me up from school but I forgot my bag at home.

So she and my sister Arianna went into town to get me some food. I thought she would just be going to…
