Natalyia Jenkins, I don't even know how she convinces my mother she innocents. I don't like this girl one bit - correction, I hate with a passion. One day we were in the Bahamas, my mother thought it was okay to plan a surprise trip. For Just the two of us, I went for 2 days and left her there. Broke...…
The best part of me is how aggressive I am when it comes to basketball. I play as a post so I am no ghost when it comes to game time. I through elbows and blow through the competition. I am not a very tall post, but I go out on the court and do my best to make my mark. A nickname of mine is the "Rebound Machine" and it explains what I do best in the…

Walking into the locker room about to get ready to go to our last football game of the season. I could smell the sweaty equipment from the kids who never take their pads home. The Hempfield Spartans 7th grade team would be ending their season 0-7 if we didn’t win today. As I was changing into my pads my friend mike walked in the room. I said “you ready for tonight”. “Heck yeah” replied Mike.…

When I first heard “When I Was Your Man,” the only thing that went through my mind were regrets as I remember how some of my relationships were in the past. Each and every time that I play the song, my opinions won’t change. According to Mark Knapp’s theory, there were ten stages to a relationship. The stages are initiating, experimenting, intensifying, integrating, bonding, differentiating, circumscribing, stagnating, avoiding, and terminating. I can definitely relate some of these stages to my past relationships.…
In my life, in your life, we are going to come up upon to a thought situations. When I faced my first thought situation, I was not quite sure how to react. I was not quite sure how to handle it or help. “My son was chocking with a hotdog” it was the scariest day of my life. Hotdogs are one-off the most dangerous foods for children to eat. Since then, my life changed and I realized how important is to know CPR guidelines to help someone when help is need it.…

"Can you guys come in the dining room for a minute?" As my face turns reddish and my stomach feelings like it is turning inside out, my stomach has never felt the way it felt that day? On just a day like no other I could not even believe that this had happened. That just a few words could have such a strong meaning, these words felt as if the world had been crashing all at once. This had felt like a nightmare, it stills feels like one to till this day, and I just have not woken up from it. I tell myself every day "everything happens for a reason" but I just can never seem to understand even after four years later what that reason was for. Why did this have to happen? I was only twelve years old, and when your parents tell you that they will no longer be able to be together it is the hardest thing to take in and think about.…

" Hey kids we need to talk about something," mom says. My brother, and I look at each other strangely. Ethan asked "what do you need to talk to us about mom?" Divorce the legal dissolution of a marriage. This is what happened to my parents in August of 2009 they got divorced. It was a very big challenge for me to face. At first it was just a separation which happened in 2007 then slowly turned into a divorce. I was young so I did not understand a lot of it.…
It was the year 2012, when I experienced a life-changing event, which led to my transition from childhood into adulthood. This event was my parent’s divorce. During this time I was scared and hurt, because my parents’ separation not only meant the parting of my parents-but parting from the life I’ve always known as a child. The separation moved at an almost mockingly lackadaisical pace. Months tediously dragged on, and even after the legal separation my life was never as it once was. I started to appreciate the people who were present in my life and how precious family stability is. The idea of losing my mother or father to divorce made me realize that this could have easily been a loss due to an illness. I grew to appreciate that I am lucky to have them in my life period. It was at this time that I seriously thought about working in health care; a field that aims to prolong human lives. This event of my childhood that some might even call traumatic, bettered me, and brought me into the adult world.…
time for me to begin my 10 minute warming up. I move my head side to side, stretch my legs, and I begin to walk briskly. I drank my water because I need to stay hydrated. When I was ready I sprinted out like a rocket. My brother began to time me. It took me 12 minutes to finish my one mile. Once I felt that my heart was pounding, my stomach started to develop painful cramps, and my My throat was as dry as a bone. I stopped and took deep breaths in and out. I took a five minute break and finished my 3 miles by walking. Once I finished my three miles I felt proud of myself and motivated for the next days to…
When I was five years old, my parents got divorced. Through the separation process, and some years after, my parents fought a lot. They sometimes brought my 2 sisters and I into it, which was really frustrating. Growing up with parents who are divorced has been a struggle for me throughout my life. It’s hard to put into words my experience and ongoing trials I go through with divorced parents.…
