Where I Stood

It was a hot day in Indiana i was about to have a big long break from school in summer and i couldn't wait. What was so special you might ask well, we were going to Paris. Me, my Mom, and my Dad have been setting this up all year and it was time. It was the last day of school while i was day dreaming about Paris and then i heard the bell ring and it was officially summer. As a lot of people with their friend said goodbye while I was running out the doors. Right when i got home it was time to…

my entire life. My oldest brother, his friend, and I were attending Survivor Series, a WWE paper-view, at Scotts Trade Center in Saint Louis, Missouri. On that day I felt as if I was apart of something that was larger than life itself. I wittnessed my future unfold before my very eyes. That was the day I realized my dreams of becoming a professional wrestler. The night before was like Christmas eve; I could not sleep from all the excitement. I tossed and turned all night. Just the thought of…

explain the entire work of art. There is a cross painted in the picture which represents the atonement, the white robes signify purity considering the men are a part of the church and what appears to be a toga symbolizes the sacrifice made to get to where they are. The halo around the emperor’s head signifies godliness and the crown that physically sits on his head symbolizes he is king and contains all the power. The military personnel whom are holding spears “give the military power to enact…

One day my biggest fear came true, I lost control of my mind and my life changed for the worst. I had become the monster I feared so much. This is my story. It was a typical day in Canton Michigan, a nice sunny day with a calm breeze, the birds were out chirping, just simply a great day. I flew through my 6 classes at school and I was on my way home. I had taken a…

completely theoretical idea was that he probably already knew I was following him, and didn’t care to question that fact. He was striking, in the sense that he stood out amongst those in a crowd of average tastes. He took on a sort of "punk-rock" look, with a badass leather jacket and half-calf lace up boots. His face had enough piercings and retro jewelry on it to smelt into a two liter can of diced pineapple, though actually, in retrospect, I don't think they make two liter cans of diced…

year-old self rushed downstairs to see the giant presents awaiting me. I ripped up the biggest present with flashy wrapping paper. Behold! It was the castle Lego set I had wanted for months! Stocked with knights in shining armor, walls holding against the evil creatures, and of course, the hefty 1000 piece count. “1000 pieces? That doesn’t seem too hard. I’ll probably knock it out in like an hour.” Well, I was wrong… very wrong. I worked on it for 7 hours straight, disassembling walls and towers…

The first memory I can remember was at night, it was the first dark night that I spent in what would be my new home. It was on this dark and humid day that I had first set foot in the windy city of Chicago, the same city in which I have spent and keep spending my days. This day marked the end to the first 6 years of my life to which I would eventually forget, but in return, this day also marked a new beginning. A beginning that was full of new opportunities, a room with thousands of open doors…

Marcos de Colon, Honduras and we woke up to the sound of the rooster crowing. Kayla, my roommate, and I decided to head down to the courtyard, where the kitchen is to see if Gina had started the coffee. As we walked down the stairs, we saw our principal, Brother Davis, was writing down out itinerary for the day. We headed straight for the delicious soul-warming coffee. As we enjoyed our coffee, Kayla and I watched as our fellow classmates started to wake up. Every few minutes one would walk…

talking about it where others may get an earshot of it. Once he had brought the saddlebags up in to the room and secured the horses around near the back of the building where they could be easily kept and ye on overnight he laid down on the mattress and looked up at the ceiling. The warm breeze coming in from the open window was enough the relax away the tension that he was feeling.…

Hot tears streamed down my cheeks as I cried myself to sleep at three o’clock in the afternoon. I was in the capital of Texas going to one of the best universities in the country for free, but something wasn’t right. I spent nights trying to figure out what to do with my life now that I realized I didn’t belong in Austin. Fast forward 6 months and I was living in Victoria, going to Victoria College, and having the time of my life. So, what happened? How did I go from a lonely and miserable…
