Winnie-the-Pooh

call, and I reassured my answer with her. “Yes, I should be there around 7:00.” I ran upstairs to my room to finish packing for the night. Toothbrush, toothpaste, clean clothes for the next day, and I was all ready to go. I looked over at my Winnie the Pooh stuffed bear, and initially reached for it, but hesitated. Remembering the last cruel encounter I had with my friend about my bear, I left him on my bed, waiting for me to return. I was very excited about tonight, but I was also very…

Out Of the Shadows To Somewhere Peaceful My official birth certificate states that on November 25, 1998, at 11:46 a.m., I was born to Gracie Rangel and Eleasar Falcon.

But I do know a few years after me, my sister, Gabrielle was born. My mom and father weren’t married so my mom left my dad. My mom said that my father…

I open the page. Flick past the crisp pages that hold the title and table of contents. The page reads “Chapter One: The Boy Who Lived”. I sigh contently as my mind is taken to a far off yet familiar place. I read the first sentence: “Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much” To some it may seem like an ordinary boring opening, but for me those words bring me home. No matter how I’m feeling at the time opening this…

All throughout my life, my stepfather Jason Sebastian has been my helping hand through the storm called life. When he came into my life I was four years old and he had his hands full. Not knowing what to expect, he was able to show me resilience. Even though Jason had taken over the role of my father at a very young age I don’t call him dad. I have gotten so used to calling him by his name that it has grown on me as a name but also as a meaning. Whenever I hear the name Jason I automatically…

Developing the love I have for English is one that has continuously grown, and will continue to grow throughout my life. English and I started out as close friends when I was young. As a child every night before bed I choose a book off of my shelf and climbed under the covers and my mother read to me. I remember listening to the stories while carefully examining the pictures before she flipped the page. When she went to work I still skimmed the pictures and retold the story the best I could…

Unfortunately, some companies have mismanaged their greatest asset—their brands. This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994. Snapple had become a hit through powerful grassroots marketing and distribution through small outlets and convenience stores. Analysts said that because Quaker did not understand the brand’s appeal, it made the mistake of changing the ads and the distribution. Snapple lost so much…
