Waiting for the Weekend

One bright, hot sunny day, my mom and I went on a walk to the beach. That’s one of our favorite thing to do on the weekend. The hot sand on my bare feet, the bright rays of the sun beaming on my back, the waves of the clear blue ocean crashing against the rocks. We walked by a shop that read, “ Help Wanted. “ I thought to myself how exactly jobs work. Do you have to go to college for all jobs? How long do you have to be in college to actually get a job? I have multiple questions of college, but…

The houses are similar because of the flaws, family time, and fond memories. The options for things to do at either house differ significantly. There isn’t much to do at the Elkton house during week days. I eat, do my homework, and sleep. On the weekend, it is a completely different place. Since a lot of…

Being a mother to an adolescent son is amazing but it also means I have to curb my TV watching habits. Television is now a late-night indulgence, I binge watch seasons of my favorite TV series’, don’t tell me who Negan kills on The Walking Dead, I’m waiting for it to come out on NetFlix. I am now able to transfer content from my Smart phone apps to my Smart TV, sometimes I put YouTube on my TV and watch “Hamsters on a Piano” with my son! Hilarious. With the mobility of smartphones and tablets I…

“It is guts and love and glory one mortals chance at fame his legacy is rodeo and cowboy is his name.” Baxter Black. This quote represents how I feel about rodeo. I made it to Junior High National Finals in Lebanon, Tennessee. You have only two weekend rodeos and then a state rodeo to make it to the finals, so you have to work extra hard and have consistent good runs. The year before I missed making it to the Finals by two points, all I needed was two more points and I would have tied for…

in California or more close to home. Once I rack up enough cash I’m going to start my own law firm for eager, driven, lawyers like myself. That’s always been a dream of mine at least. Ding! My phone rings text from Jason: “We should meet up this weekend, what about…

this is occurring. I try to go to bed as early as possible, but with all of the homework and studying I have, along with sports and after school activities, it is nearly impossible. To make up for all of this time, I will get as much sleep on the weekends and I will also try to take naps. Once I get to college, I will do what I am starting to do now, which is going to bed earlier and waking up earlier so it will be easier to retain the information that I am studying. Sleep is going to be my…

the list. People also voted for Breeana Bonnema, and Lauren Verlinde to be on the list. Both of which are so sweet and funny, out of all the people that I had to “run against”, it had to be two really kind people. I waited anxiously over the weekend, just waiting until Tuesday to find out. Finally Tuesday came and I had to wait until 3rd hour. During Science, which is 3rd hour, Jacob Emery came in over the speaker for announcements. Oh gosh, oh gosh, please don’t announce…

The documentary film “13th” directed by Ava DuVernay is an interesting look at the prison system, how and why Black and Hispanic people make up the majority of the prison population and how the problems within the interconnected political, judicial, and prison system have grown and changed over time. It discusses topics such as the death penalty, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the dehumanization of prisons and about how labeling individuals and groups and criminals effects…

were as a unit being social loafers in the beginning and waiting to see how things would play out. Which wasn’t too effective of a process. It wasn’t until we finally set a goal for our group that we started to be effective in accomplishing one of our fist…

sticker, so we could mark were we went. We then practiced getting to the spot and eventually, we had learned where we had to go and removed the sticker. I would have to say that drill was the worst part of it all. It was so boring; just standing there waiting to hear where you were to move to next, or to hear move one step forward, backward or right or left. Being off one step could throw the whole thing off, Drill were very…
