It was 5:30 am. Justin, Blake, and I were catching horses to go to work. It was supposed to be an easy day of it too. Us 3 went to the pasture we were supposed to be geathering. We unloaded our horses and got on them. We trotted of into the the most brushey, tree coverd, canyon filled, pasture on the whole ranch.
It took us 2 hours of walking to geather them into a near by wheat field. Justin and i counted them while Blake pushed them so we could count them along the fence. We got our count which was 308. We loaded up and went to the next pasture.
This pasture was not a brushy but just as rough. We geatherd them, pushed them down the fence, and counted them. We got our count of 195 head of 550 pound yearlings. Justin (the boss) said we need to doctor 2 of them. So Blake went running after one, and i went, slowly sorting the other out of the heard, and roped the other. Blake caught his pretty fast, then Justin went and heeled it.

After i caught him i stopped my horse really hard, which made the yearling do a back flip and lad on his head. The yearling laid the for a while like he was out of breath, so i got of with my horse holding the rope tight so the yearling wouldn't get up and run off. I got down there and tied him down so he couldn't move. I walked back to my horse, got on, walked him forword, leaned down, and took the rope off the yearlings head.
I sat there waiting for Justin to get there with the medicin to doctor him. Justin came trotting over to give him the shot he needed. When he doctored him and let him up, he didn't get him. Justin looked at him and said i broke his neck when i ripped him over back words. That was one of the coolest days i have ever experienced in a long

    There is no doubt there are egotistical, self-absorbed people in today’s society. Their personal choices are made through the idea of benefiting just themselves. Now, there are charitable individuals in this world that drive, not just themselves, but everyone around them to a happier state in life, even if that means making sacrifices. Sacrifice is the ability to give up something with the intention of it resulting for the greater good. If everyone in this world conducts sacrifices on the daily, there would eventually be nothing to sacrifice for. Unfortunately, that would never happen, prompting more people, like my parents, to make all these sacrifices.…

    The sky is a mix of different oranges and reds in the morning and afternoon, and in between this it is a bright yellow. At night it is typically a grey color, though sometimes a brown. Dark grey and black puffs that I would consider clouds float throughout the sky. Still watching the animal, I make out the head, focusing on separating the reddish brown fur from its similar surroundings, and then go for it. I shoot forward, and before it has time to flinch, I stab the neck.…

    Today was the day I lost my son and the great Beowulf is to blame. I feel it. I feel the emptiness that comes when a mother loses her child. I hear my son calling out for me, wishing I was there to help. I feel the broken bones and the screams that my child, my sweet baby boy, made while Beowulf tore him from this world. I feel the anger, and the ferocity of a mother bear, but i have failed to protect my cub. I have traveled to the surface, far from the safety and comfort of my cave beneath the water, to kill beowulf. I have captured him and i will kill him. His puny blade does no damage to me, for i am too strong for him. I am winning, the life slowly draining from Beowulf’s body, until i remember my greatest weakness; I am the only one who…

    The night grew dark, cold, and lonesome. I took a hot shower and prayed for my health. Midafternoon the next day, I heard a bold knock on my door. “Come in,” I uttered exuberantly. A tall, husky man wearing a white lab coat entered my room, followed by a gust of cold air. My eyes instantly spotted “Surgeon” on his name tag. I uneasily anticipated the doctors’ decision that I was going to need to have surgery.…
