We Gotta Get out of This Place

surprise huh. I was a cadet for the Foothill division for about 3 years. I took that as an advantage when we had a project in Shoji 's class for civil rights. This project helped me grow as a global citizen because I learned the importance of recognizing perspectives in order to take action and show people who don 't have a voice that people who do care and are listening. We decided to…

I remember speaking with an associate of mine about someone we both knew who was possibly homosexual. She reprimanded me by saying, “Why what he does with his penis any of your business?” I responded, “Well, I need to know what kind of people are in my circle.” I then proceeded to explain that if this guy is a homosexual, I want to know because I’m not gay. If he is gay then the potential of him coming on to me is really high. I know this sounds extremely ignorant and stereotypical by assuming…

Chapter One. Sunday mornings were always the busiest days in the Falelua household. There were early morning prayers that are held at 5am in the morning, then the women of the Falelua family start preparing meals for the day until it's time to get ready for church. Seeing as there are 8 people living under a five bedroom house and one bathroom, you would imagine how long it took for each and every person to shower and be ready for mass. After Mass and Sunday school, there are big feasts…

not true, he was born into the business. “When Willy admits that he can't handle the road anymore, Howard refuses to consider finding him something to do in New York as his father might have done, explaining, "it's a business, kid, and everybody's gotta pull his own weight" (80). When Willy loses control, showing his desperation, Howard fires him, telling him that he is not in a fit state to represent the firm.” (Murphy 7). Howard’s statement of ”it’s a business kid” indicates how Howard feels…

you want me to wait for you?” Ronnie said from the other side of the door. “I uh, wait for me?” I stuttered out. “I figured we could go over to my place and study together then watch a movie, Theresa has a migraine I think she needs her quiet time.” “Not tonight, I’m exhausted. I think I might actually be coming down with the flu that’s going around the campus.” “Babe, they figured out it wasn’t the flu it was food poisoning from a bad batch of chicken served at the cafeteria.” He said…

they're like "it must have been Jason!" or whenever something's broken, "Jason must have been here!" Sure, I'm not the most responsible, or reliable person, but seriously people, you just have to assume like that! Well, anyway you probably didn't pick this up to hear me complain about my personal problems (which I do a lot), so let's move on. My story begins in Alcolu, South Carolina. My day started normal enough. I woke up to the BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! of my Darth Vader Star Wars alarm clock (no,…

It’s a typical night for the two of them, except Mickey’s just asked Ian on a date, and his mind is buzzing with thoughts about the redhead. He’s so caught up in thinking about Ian’s stupid, pretty, freckled face that he doesn’t realize he’s zoned out until Mandy’s waving a hand in front of his face. “Earth to Mickey, helloooooo,” She sings, her expression far too amused for his liking. Damn Mandy and her antics. She was way too excited about Mickey finding someone he actually liked “What,…

It was for the dance-along screening, when the actors teach the viewers how to do some choreography from a couple of the numbers in the movie. I wasn’t going to be dancing along, but I would probably catch it anyway. That morning was starting to get a little chilly, but Alyssa ran up to me as if she had some mind-blowing news for me. She told me about the dance edition and how excited she is for it; as a result, I was excited. It premiered and I was dancing along in my living room, since it…

Gillepsie along with Thelonious Monk and Max Roach, this new type of jazz required the player to be extremely well versed in music theory and had an altered style in improvisation. As we have touched on before, Prez was an extremely talented musician, but the one thing he lacked was music theory, something his parents hadn’t been able to pay for when he was a kid. Though many Jazz critics would hardly consider Lester Young your normal swing player, we have to understand the gravity of the bop…
