It was the first day that school was out. And, the old movie theater had just shut down last year. We wanted to go check it out. There was only four of us John, Luke, Ian and I. We had no more than one day.…
I chose to perform an anonymous act of kindness in the drive thru at Starbucks Friday morning on the way to work in completion of this assignment when I paid for the customer’s order behind me. I thought about it for a little while wondering if they too would pay it forward. So last night I was looking at my Facebook page, and my Aunt Theresa posted “So I went to Starbucks this morning (long line!!) When I got to the window cashier said the car in front of me paid for my drink! I thought whoo hoo! and then I asked why.. she said the car in front of them paid for theirs and the car in front of them paid for theirs... so.. I paid for the car behind me.. Paying it Forward today...”…
I cut the grass for some of my family because they asked me to cut it for them. I did it for my Aunt Gwen and my Grandma Hill. I enjoy my time with my Aunt and I was working together with my brother and my cousin and we had a great time over at my Aunt’s house. And at my Grandma's house we had a great time over there. I got to see my baby cousin and I haven’t seen here in a long time. I would do this again anytime because it was fun and if they ask me to. I picked this to do because they asked me to do it for them. This experience made me realize that family matters and to never let them go. It changed me making me a better person and making myself more available to family’s need. This helped someone else and it help the community…
During this season of giving, help turn a child's frown upside down this Christmas. The Caring Place is now collecting new toys and gently used bikes for the children in our neighborhood. With the trend towards simplifying gift giving for our own children to what they want, what they need, something to read and something to wear this year, please consider buying a 5th gift for a child in need. Kids will be smiling all over Silverton, Kennedy Heights, Pleasant Ridge and Golf Manor!…
What comes to your mind when you hear the word hero? My kind of hero is one that will try as hard as they can even if they know they can’t do anything to help it or make it better. My kind of hero is one that will fight even if it wont get them anywhere. My kind of hero is one that will be selfless when it comes to others. And when I think of a hero I think of a very strong special somebody that will do anything for anyone just to consider there feelings. My kind of hero is my little man Wyatt.…
As we age, we forget (parallelism). We forget the joys of being a child. We forget (repetition) how to play, how to laugh (parallelism). We tend to become so fixed on growing up that we forget many of things that we found wondrous as children as they have faded away like the night (simile) as the sun of time rises and illuminates the harsh reality of life. I have found however, one thing from my childhood seems to stick with me even as I have grown up and that is bandaids. This is not because they are something that can easily acquired but instead because of what they represent.…

On a cold, brisk snowy night in New York City little did I know I was about to make an encounter with someone I'd never forget. I was waiting for a friend in McDonald's so she could get her food and stay inside for warmth, when I realized someone not too far behind me was talking. Startled, I turned around I saw a homeless man wrapped in torn up blankets, shaggy, undone brown hair and trying to keep warm like the rest of us. My first instinct was to stay clear until a woman had drooped her purse and money rolled around his feet, as he bent down to retrieve the money to all our disbelief he handed her the money and told her something extraordinary. As he handed the woman back her money with shaky hands, he looked down and exclaimed how,"Money…
Mrs. Davis said, “Absolutely, this morning I was getting ready for my meeting when I heard what happened to Katherine and saw you guys over. I tried to get someone else to take the meeting and couldn’t find anyone willing to do it. When I came home, I called the police department to tell them about the man in the backyard. They told me to wait until you came back and tell you about the homeless man. He is probably the murderer.” Pointing her finger toward the detective, Mrs. Davis added.”Kathy was my friend.”…
As the single child in a family with working parents, I spent the most time of my childhood living and hanging around with my dog. This experience might be one of the reasons that I am very compassionate to animals and sensitive to people’s needs. My voluntary work is in a welfare house called Alenah's home. I love working there because I like seeing the smile face of the children there – even some autism babies don’t smile facially, I believe they can feel the love when being caressed softly.…

One horrible day, about 3 or 4 years ago. I woke up and all of the feeling in my legs were gone. I tried to get out of bed but my bed is a top bunk with a desk underneath it so It was hard to get out of bed. I tried to use my legs but they were lifeless. They wouldn't move so it was all upper body strength getting down from my bed. Finally, I got down from my bed tried to walk but I couldn’t. So all I could do is yell, so I started screaming “Dad! Dad!” Then I blacked out. I woke up a while later in the car, when I asked my dad where we were going he said the doctors. I looked at the time on my phone, It was 9:30!! At this time I was living in Florida. My school started at…
Santiago’s goal was to catch a Marlin. My goal is to graduate from college and begin my career in law enforcement as a police officer. When he would dream it would always be a dream of lions the lions represented him or himself as a boy, young and strong. However, the lions also remind him of his own boy, who helps him, fish and talk’s baseball with him. Santiago would be alone at sea most times but would always say he believes a man is never alone at sea. Santiago must deal with loneliness, but I must learn to deal with many types of people with many issues.…
