It was almost like the chaos and coins in that matter. Since we had no limitations and no restrictions. At times I was thinking in my head, “oh no, I don’t know what to do next,” but then I remembered that I can hold this pose for as long as I want. I have plenty of time to think and if I truly can think of anything then my falling out of my last pose will be my next pose. This exercise is stress free, which makes it more…
When I first heard that we were going to be doing another speech I honestly was not happy about it at all because like many of you I was ready for school to be done for the summer. I began to think about it though and instantly I had three books that popped into my head and I thought that this assignment was not going to be hard. The three books that came to mind was: Coming Back Stronger: Unleashing the Hidden Power of Adversity written by Drew Brees, Friday Night Lights written by Buzz Bissinger, and the last one was Through My Eyes: A Quarterback’s Journey written by Tim Tebow.…
What television show character are you most like and why? One Tree Hill was a show that I refused to watch. I knew mom’s that were obsessed with this teen show, and that was just not something I wanted to be a part of. So when finals came around last year, I decided it was time to watch One Tree Hill.…
At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…

Soda is back in highschool now working full time and attending school everyday.

All the years I’ve lived on Elm Street I have never seen any sign of life in the house across the street, except a family that moved in and moved out only a few weeks later. It’s kind of mysterious actually, and I’ve always wanted to go up to it and walk in to explore. My parents have told me the things they have heard about the house, like there was an “old man whose wife passed away right there in the house, and her spirit still lurks”, maybe that’s why the families have never stayed for more than a month. Sometimes I’ve even caught myself staring at the house from my top window trying to spot things. I want to uncover the real truth about the house that I find myself overwhelmed.…
Moving Again Have you ever moved schools? Have you lost friends? Well it really stinks. Moving schools have affected me for lots of reasons, but I am getting better.…
“Now when you are ready you can slide the safety switch over to the fire your gun should glow red when you do. Today your goal is to score the most points. The closer you get to the bullseye the more points you can get. You can fire when ready and when you run out of ammo set your gun down and flip the switch to safety. Oh and there is one other thing, you will rarely fire at stationary targets.”…
Let's get one thing straight. We are not the Breakfast Club. We did not meet by chance, and we did not leave whether or not we would always be friends a mystery to those who were watching us. As far as I know, we will always be friends, and if we are not, I’ll always try to remember what made us, us.…
I am from big green open fields with the dogs running through the yard. I am from the smell of barbeque and bonfires. I am from the sound of chirping birds. I am from a hardworking mom and dad. I am from a grandma say “Lord have mercy” and “Bless your heart.”…
Even though we are siblings, my sister and I have always been seen as two different people that had nothing in common. For a while we did not even believe we were related. She is very into Anime and art while I’m more of the jock. Sports and video games were what I am into. I would hang out with my sister often, and when we did, we would moderately engage in each other’s activities.…
Change can be difficult for someone my age, or any age really. At the beginning of the school year, I moved from Bentonville, Arkansas, to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, which came with all sorts of changes. Some of the challenges I faced included making new friends, adjusting to my new life in Broken Arrow, and finding my way and where I belong in a new place. Unfortunately, when I moved I realized how difficult making friends was, especially since I did not know a single person at Broken Arrow.…
Comparative Platform Essay Netflix is something that’s rapidly become a part of society’s everyday life. It’s been taking over cable television, and shockingly taking over some people’s lives. Last weekend I visited my family’s log cabin in what’s known to be the middle of nowhere in rural Pennsylvania. Since there is absolutely no cable there, I knew I had to figure out a way to bring a system to watch the show that has been taking over my life, Stranger Things. We knew we could bring my computer and watch it from there, but we were well aware of how irritating it is to watch a show with another person through a computer screen versus a television.…
Best in Show Experiences are one of the ways we learn about our world. Specifically, concerts are a place where I see the opportunity to share unique encounters. I’ve been to quite a few concerts in my day, nine concerts, two music festivals, and sixty two artists in total. I love live music because every single person can experience a show differently. It’s like a story that’s created in front of your eyes and dies that night.…
‘’What’s on your mind?’’ , Facebook asked. Are you thinking about what you should do, about your school works, what you will wear, what you’re going to eat, or perhaps you’re thinking about what you’ll post on your facebook . But, have you ever wondered how much a cloud weighs? Clouds float so freely, that‘s why I assumed they’re weightless, but it turns out they’re not.…
