What You're Doing

for Holden. Later on that night he finds a bar he’s able to get drinks at and gets completely wasted which forces him to fumble home where he runs into his little sister, Phoebe, home alone because his parents are out. He explains with little detail what happened to him and why he’s home earlier than he should be when suddenly his parents return home and he has no choice but to leave out the window since he doesn’t want them to know he’s home and expelled from his school. For the rest of the…

“How is she?” Bass asked, sitting down in the chair beside Miles. He had just returned from yet another dangerous mission that he had volunteered for. Miles sighed. “You can’t keep doing this, Bass,” “Doing what?” Bass asked as he took Charlie’s hand in his. “Trying to get yourself killed. She wouldn’t want that.” Bass lifted his tortured eyes to Miles. “It’s no more than I deserve. Why don’t you go get something to eat. I’ll stay for a bit and read to her.” Miles shook his head, knowing…

my friend was being pulled, she throws a bag into my lap. I was like “what the hell!” Forgive me with my language but that was I really thought. When I look at the bag, it was full of weed. I never smoke a weed and I did not even know the first thing about it. Instantly, my heart stopped and I think I am gonna blacked out. I don’t really know what happened but the first instinct I had was to hide it beside the cabby. That was what I did. I dropped the bag as far as I could and really, I don’t…

know what’s right and what’s wrong, and you could be for all I know. What I do know is that you’re my daughter and it’s my job to stand by you and believe in you no matter what, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. From what my potato brain can comprehend, not killing anyone sounds a lot better than doing so, he added finally, and then he gave a small laugh. What I do want to make sure is that you speak properly when you’re talking about these things. Blur nodded,…

Plot Twist I really wanted to go to Baba and tell him that we had to leave Kabul. Of course it was that or Hassan and Ali leaving Kabul. But I had to do what I had to do, we could not be here together, it was not right. It had to be the perfect time, also when Ali and Hassan were gone. So that day I had waited till they had to go to get food from the market. Than that was the moment I had done something I never had done before, I lied and black mailed my brother ,the person that fed from…

groups, because I feel that I’m very independent. My past group projects didn’t go so well because it’s always that one that don’t want to work. There were lots of problems that happened within our team because of lack of communication. I wasn’t sure what I can do about it, the understanding and planning just wasn’t there, especially about the media log task. We all seemed a little overwhelmed by this assignment and it made it very hard to complete. I became very tired and worried as the due…

captured in the flow of thoughts about my American Studies class, which I enrolled last semester, I realized that there is no need to look further to see how much I gained from this class. What I obtained was not merely the knowledge and skill the instructor conveyed, but also the alternative way of viewing what happened around me. Despite, beyond my expectation, being one of the most challenging classes I have…

It is what I had been most looking forward to, and it was a concrete experience that was unlike the other days of purely hiking. Day three represented getting over the mountain, both figuratively because it was the third out of five days and literally because that is what we were doing. To me it meant I had survived up to that point and therefore, I knew that I would be able to push forward for…

different therapies to help different areas of his body. Marc’s rehabilitation also included: job-specific strengthening, proprioceptive cervical strengthening, and upper-quadrant stretching (Marc Duyck page 63). Marc discussed with a therapist about what degrees and exercises he was set on (Marc Duyck page 63). Marc’s cervical mobility was set at an eighty degree rotation, sixty to seventy degree extension, and forty-five degree side-bending (Marc Duyck page 63). These degrees were set to be…

Asking a myriad of questions: What happened? Where is your mother? Did everyone get out? I was only fourteen but had the consciousness of mind to make sure all the children were safe. I remember the sensation of standing beside myself directing my actions. I am convinced the angles…
