HELA 10, Hour 1
10 November 2014
School
It is 8:33 am. Students make quick glances at the clock, mentally begging for it to turn faster. Time almost seems to move backwards, and every passing second feels like an hour. Ding! Finally, class has ended. Hordes of students escape the classroom quicker than a pack of gazelle running from a ferocious tiger. They begin to walk through the halls and instantly search for someone to converse with and discuss how uninterested they were in the previous class. Being the intelligent individuals they are, at the same time, almost every student in the school decides to use the main staircase. Walking up the main staircase is like standing in an elevator with 20 people over maximum occupancy and having to get to the top floor of the Empire State Building. The two-minute bell rings. Students bid farewell to their friends for another excruciating hour, and the pace of the students quickens. A majority of the students go to class. The final bell rings. The students remaining in the halls begin their walk towards the tardy tracker, about as quickly as a sloth without arms or legs. They can be heard complaining and openly expressing their opinions of tardy tracker. Class begins, and students begin staring at the clocks, calculating how much longer they must suffer.

    The clock ticks away, eating every little second that they need to spare. Tapping is coming from the front row and an ear busting scraping of erasers on paper comes from the back. Looking around, one may see faces of various emotions, those laid back or relaxed, those who are more concentrated on their own work, too much so that they don’t notice the person cheating off of them, and those who are looking at every question and realising that their future is coming slowly to an end solely because of a test. The clock’s unforgiving and unknowing hands dance around in circles, claiming the time until it is gone. As the children pass up the papers, they cannot fathom how much weight they had in their hands. Once the paper leaves their fingers, their future will soon be decided.…

    I was exposed to Crossfit while I was stationed at Ramstein AB, Germany. Most people take a look at a posted workout or video, of elite Crossfit athletes and get intimidated or scared. They shouldn’t! The workouts that get posted to these sites are made for the more advanced, elite athletes. Crossfit is a new idea and like all new things, you either love it or you hate it. However, Crossfit brings something new to the table which is why many believe it is the better way of life and physical fitness. First, we will look at who started Crossfit and what it means. Then I will describe what the community is and lastly we will talk about competitions.…

    What’s better to chill out a hot summer’s day than something sweet and cool? No, I am not talking about a Popsicle. I am not talking about an ice cream cone, either. I am not even talking about iced tea or lemonade. It is something better than all of those, and it doesn’t even have all the sneaky calories of those other tasty treats! The answer to the question is simple. Have you guessed it? It is a cherry.…

    The warm summer breeze pulled open my eyes. It was the dead of night and nobody was stirring except me. I walked over to the large tinted bay window, the source of the warm Venetian breeze. Even though my eyes were still heavy with sleep, I could still make out the wonderful view. The thick, almost swampy, polluted canal had been blue-green in the sunlight but had now turned as black as a crow’s feathers with nightfall. The boats danced on top of the water. The bridge hung over the water just high enough to let boats pass under it. To me the tall, majestic buildings framed my view. The buildings were as unique as kernels of popcorn not one building was identical. Some were as intricate as a butterfly’s wings while others were as plain as pebbles. I looked up to see that the sleeping sun was awakening, and as I went back to bed I knew this dark view of Venetian canal with it’s boats, buildings , and bridges is one I’ll never forget.…

    “When you smoke herb, it reveals yourself to you,” is a famous quote of the pothead and marvelous musician Bob Marley. He felt as though marijuana helped tune in with your inner being. I believe cannabis that cannabis does this too and therefore have become a habitual marijuana consumer. Being in tune with ones inner being is important, yet not the reason that I smoke cannabis.

    My eight year old brother, Jay, stands out in a crowd of children because of his distinctive appearance and gentle manner. The first thing I notice when I look at him is his height. He stands at shoulder height next to me; indeed, he is a head taller than other children his age, and is definitely stronger. His weight is a hefty 121 pounds; without a doubt, he weighs forty pounds more than other children in his grade level. Recently, my dad signed him up for flag football, where he was told: “It is a good thing the children aren’t playing tackle football, because he might inadvertently hurt the other kids.” Also remarkable is his red hair; it is thick, coarse to touch, and styled in an old-fashioned boy cut. Hardly a person can pass Jay without rubbing his head for good luck, and saying “Where’d you get that hair?” Jay’s chubby face is fair, with freckles lightly dotting his exceptionally boyish features. His eyes are brown, and his eyebrows black; in fact, white, in contrast with his red hair. His lips are full and somewhat feminine, and his newly-grown permanent teeth, which appear large alongside his remaining baby teeth, have a wide gap. His shoulders are broad, his chest juts out, and his belly is plump. His forearms are bulky, and will someday be powerful, yet his wrists retain the same creases he has had since he was a ten pound newborn. When we hold hands, his hands feel nearly as large as mine, and are unexpectedly soft. His legs are sturdy and strong, and his knees are covered with fresh scrapes and purple bruises, received while skateboarding and biking. His ankles are also solid; consequently, he can’t wear boots. His feet are size 6 and wide; therefore, too wide for slip-on tennis shoes. Despite his appearance, Jay is unexpectedly sensitive and caring. He likes to open doors for our family, tend his little brother, and help my parents grocery shop. From head to toe he is a contradiction; although he is only eight years old, he is big and strong, while…

    “She’s hideous!” Said my best friend Brando, short for Brandon. “Just do it!” he kept saying, along with his brother Kevin. I was afraid. “Don’t be such a pussy.” Kevin yelled as he pushed me forward, almost knocking me off my feet and into the cross street at the top of our cul-de-sac. That was where the house stood. Directly across Mountain Ave. That was where she would appear, the “hideous” woman. The one we all called Bloody Mary. All you had to do was approach the dingy house where the old wooden rocking chair on the porch would rock back and forth, back and forth, even on the most calm nights. All you had to do to make her appear was go right up to the rocking chair and say her name three times with your eyes closed. They said that once you opened them, she would be sitting in the rocking chair before you, her face burned and bloody and wretchedly gesticulating as she stared into your soul. I had never done the deed. I had only heard the stories. And there I stood, receiving the peer pressure that we were all so quick to inflict on others, but cringed inside when it was brought down upon us. There I stood, searching my mind for any excuse to not cross Mountain Avenue that Saturday night.…

    Photography is like any other art where the sky is the limit. The most important component to photography is the camera. I have a Nikon D3000 SLR digital camera. It is like one of my children. I go everywhere with it and when I don’t have I always feel like something is missing. It helps me bring my creative side to life and gives me just the shot I am looking for. It is heavy and sometimes a pain to carry but the weight is worth it for the end results. It has endless settings that I can adjust to achieve what it is I am trying to create. When I look through the view finder I look at a whole new world.…
