A Poem Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there. To serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out whom you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be, perhaps your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, or even a complete stranger. But when you lock eyes with them, you kn

Descriptive Essay- The Croswalks Sorrow I feel as if I am never allowed to sleep. In the small hours of the morning, I might get an hour of peace and quiet before somebody walks in-between me or drags their tires across me.

A Moment to Remember A Moment to Remember It was a sharp pain in my shoulder as I was going through hitting drills in football practices. That day everything was going very well. Even though the day was hot, steaming, and exhausting, I was full of energy. As we started the hitting drills, I was trying to impress the coach with everything I had. With me being a sophomore trying

Car Of Steel They call it a car of steel. That 1985 Dodge Aires, a four door station wagon, that hardly ran, wouldn’t pass the emissions test, and kept running even after you turned the key to the off position.

Growing Up Growing Up It all begins with the famous phrase, “What do you want to be when you grow up'”. As a child, I thought the words “growing up” meant becoming like Mom and Dad.

So for me the many different phases of growing up were the

Grandpa Tech As I begin my freshman year of college, I find myself attaining a degree entirely based upon the teachings of my grandfather. As a young adult of 18, I realize that a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technology could simply be the B.S. of Tom Goranson.

Climbing A Mountain During Fall Climbing a mountain during fall Laura My head tilted upward toward the sky as I scanned the distant horizon in front of me. High above me stands a creation unfinished by god; clouds cover the top of the mountain so only half remains, and the other half is forgotten. Tree’s that like a fire, ablaze a trail to the top, but instead I follow the man-made

Mrs Wanda Mrs. Wanda On July sixth, 1988, I turned five years old. It had been a difficult year. My parents were going through a tough divorce, and as much as a five-year-old could be bitter, I was. About three months after my dad moved out of our house, my mom got a new job. Of course this new job did not appeal to me at all. My mom had always been home with us. She had quit working

My Dream From early childhood I had a dream to learn another language. Even though I was born in Baku, Azerbaijan and already knew Azeri and Russian, I loved the sound of English. I would walk around the house with a dictionary and try pronouncing different words.

My Neighborhood-the Bronx Although the inner city of New York has its many positive aspects such as a good baseball team and great ethnic food, many people hold negative stereotypes concerning how “the people” may act or the violence involved.

On An Experience Of A Life Time On My Experience of a Life Time On a Sunday afternoon, last January, I was enjoying the Super Bowl with my family.

My Learning Experience My Learning Experience As a child, I was very active and I would participate in any sport or activity that I could.

I was always afraid of the water, but I decided tha

One Job At A Time One Job At a Time In the eighteen years I have been on this planet there are a few important things I have learned. One of the most important things I have learned is that jobs are not for me, at least not at this point in my life. Many different employers have employed me and I have had a taste of what the job world is all about, but I don’t want any part of it. E

The Best Years Of My Life Looking back now, I can see that people were right when they said that my high school years would be the best years of my life. Most teenagers complain that their lives are unfair and that high school is the worst part. I know this to be true because I have done my share of complaining. Even though I have many responsibilities, probably more than most people

Through The Eyes of a Sober Stranger Through The Eyes of a Sober Stranger The air was thick with the stench of alcohol, and there also lingered a sour odor, remnant of the contents of stomachs that had been recently and rapidly emptied. To breathe in this air meant to suffer the consequences of the aforementioned stench, or to choose perhaps the lesser of two evils, and inhale through

Brave New World Distopia in Brave New World The purpose of a Utopian society is to create an environment where everyone is happy, disease does not exist, and anger and sadness are extinct.

To me she was much more than a Grandmother; she was a best friend. I could trust her with anything. I always seemed to fit into the outcast of the family role pretty well. I mean I knew my family loved me but we weren’

The World In A Drop Of Water I was drowning, water slowly filling my lungs, but I didn’t care. Light from the sun cascaded through the rippling water and danced on every underwater surface. Everything was calm and peaceful. This would be my last memory on Earth and it was a beautiful sight to see. It was as if time had frozen and I was witness to the majesty of the moment. I thought of n

He had been in ROTC training in Bell More, Virginia, when he heard the screeching voice of our sergeant, “were being called to Panama.” The next morning at 5:00 I heard the clacking of the wooden stick hitting the trashcan the serge used every morning to wake the troops up. He screamed “Pa
