Many of these facts are talked bout and proven by journalist Ted Conover in his engrossing account of the year he spend as a correctional officer. (correctional officers or COs as they are known as, dislike the term "guard") at the maximum-security Sing Sing Prison in New York. Conover, always fascinated by prisons and curious about what the life of a guard was really like, approached the New York Department of Correctional Services with a request to write a profile of the experiences of a new recruit, but was turned down. So he decided that his only option was to become a guard himself in which he would get better incite about prison anyway especially if he was working on the inside of the prison, instead of just hearing stories and not…
“But what the wisdom of the ages says is that we do well not to grieve on and on. And those old ones knew a thing or two and had some truth to tell. . . .

Her reasons traveled with her to her grave. I suffered from that. And then there was that former soulmate, who went around telling really tall tales about me. When we broke up, my heartsickness settled in for a long, long while. I can only describe that sorrow as suffering. By the time her rumors came to light, I didn’t even care anymore, thank goodness! Nevertheless, It’s impossible for me to forget how I vowed to never let anyone else in. And how I reversed course, only to be disappointed again. This is life—joy, pain, learning, forgetting, and starting all over again.…

Today is one of those rare days in which it is raining and I’m sitting on the windowsill waiting for a sign. Something that says ‘move on’. There is still a part of me that hopes every day that you're alive and I haven't found you yet. I will have searched the far corners of the earth before I let myself believe you dead. I dream of you every night, then wake with the bitter taste of regret fresh in my mouth. You abandoned me. You have marooned me on this earth, and it is dark without your light by my side. All that fills my mind is when you were still beside me. I distinctly recall one summer when we were not quite children anymore and still too young to be adults. It was raining so hard that the streets were flooded for the first time in eighty years, and you had insisted on escaping to the desert.…
The lesson in this story is so true. No matter how many highs and lows you go through, love is stronger. We should still strive to think of others and avoid lows as much as possible. Don’t let your selfishness get in the way of what really…

Listen, you're just going to have to trust me on that because there is really no words to describe…
There exists this pressure on my generation that we must have our entire lives already planned out to a T. Even as a fifth grader, I remember a prompt on a state test asking “Describe your lifetime goals and how you will achieve them.” This question is asked throughout our lives in different variations but the point remains the same. What are you going to do with your life? Asking me this prompt throughout my years in high school would have given you 4 completely different answers. Just a couple months ago I would have given you a different answer than I would have now and I’m sure a similar story can be said for almost any student. Lifetime goals evolve as we mature and grow throughout life, and my high school career reflects these changes.…

Whenever thinking of my short and long-term goals, five total goals come clearly to my mind. Three of them are short-term goals, and two of them are long-term goals. My first short-term goal is getting a leadership position in Sigma Alpha.There are multiple officer positions, and I want to apply to one. My second short-term goal is to get a job as a Summer Staff member at Gasper River Catholic Youth Camp & Retreat Center. I have volunteered as a counselor for Gasper River in the past, but this year I am applying to be a staff member which means I will be at the camp Sunday through Friday all of the summer watching over the campers and leading them in activities. My third short-term goal is to become a peer mentor for the Agriculture LLP (2017/2018 School Year). If I am offered the position, I will help freshman make the transition into college a smoother process. One of my long-term goals is to own a farm, and house. The other long-term goal is to become an agriculture education professor.…

This poem honestly means a lot to me because I can relate to it in almost every aspect of my life. For me this poem means when you meet a decision in your life think about it long and hard because you will never be able to change what you decide. Sometimes you could of made the right decision in your life or that’s what you think at least. At times you could make a decision in your life and at the beginning you might think it was the right decision but down the road it could end up bad. Decisions could be at a different levels at times. Kind of like if you go to college or not or if your going to sell drugs but there at different levels and could have different…
