As a freshman, in 2014, I attended the first few technique courses clueless about adapting to them and writing collegiate papers. Coming from a background of mainly jazz and tap, I knew I would face challenges while learning modern and ballet techniques. One of the many challenges I faced was learning to take advantage of my kinesphere. During each modern class, I was encouraged to dance bigger and really reach out in order for my movement to expand. Even though I found it to be a challenge, I…

Sitting on the floor curled into a ball, clutching my legs like I just go them back after a tragic accident. I look up at the white walls that stretch for miles. Other than the white walls, a white floor, and a white ceiling is me. I stick my head back between my knees and chest when the sound of far off clomping of footsteps begin. When they come to a stop not too far in front of me, I look up to see as my four best friends and people I thought who cared about me, Dahlia, Matt, Rebecca, and Sam…

My sleeping and constant shaking, as well as my burning forehead, convinced my mom that I had a high fever. I looked at her and then said, “Okay, if you think I am going to die, I’ll go.” My mom backed the car up in our driveway,…

Slim was considered powerful in the way he spoke. Anytime Slim spoke, “There was a gravity in his manner and a quiet so profound that all talk stopped when he spoke. His authority was so great that his word was taken on any subject, be it politics or love.” (Pg. 33). This quote represents Slim’s power by explaining that ranchers would be silent and contemplating at whatever he stated something. His way with words could influence any ranchers to concur with his morals; and in some cases, his…

time to patch up the wound. Memories of the moment keep flashing through my eyes like it happened not more than two seconds ago. I still remember the enemy soldier staring at me, fear in his eyes. He looked more scared than I did as he pulled the trigger. These were regular people: fathers, teachers, mailmen. Their…
