My name is Crystal Cook. I was born in Collinsville‚ Oklahoma in 1983. Being in a military family led me to be raised in several states across the country‚ including Virginia and Missouri‚ eventually leading to Texas. In elementary school I loved my teachers. They made learning fun and exciting. I knew I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. As I got older‚ goals changed and I didn’t pursue that path. I had two wonderful children and felt very strongly that I wanted to be a full time stay

Do you ever just not want to eat the school food because you find it disgusting? Do you just want to be able to go to your favorite restaurant and eat? I would really like to have my choice to pick what I would like to eat and most other teens probably would also. I look around in the cafeteria and I see people wasting the cafeteria food or their either bringing their own food. I believe that if the high school had better food or we were able to have open campus for lunch then students would not

support a mascot if it was based off of an old‚ well known Indian tribe? By the year 2017 all of Indian mascots will potentially be removed from high schools. How can you have any school spirit if you don’t appreciate the mascot that you have? Collinsville high school‚ the high school‚ the high school of champions‚ should be allowed to keep their infamous mascot‚ the chief Kahok. I can see why many people why many people would be offended by schools using Indians or the Indian culture as their

I was having one of those I-don’t-want-to-tumble kind of days. I was at tumbling class at my cheer gym‚ Pride of Illinois‚ in Collinsville. Tumbling class started at 6:30 and we started off on a white blow-up tumble track. I was waiting in line to take my turn. It was finally my turn and I did a back handspring‚ toe touch‚ front tuck all connected‚ but when I did my toe touch my ankles rolled in and I fell down. I was in so much pain that I felt like I was dying. I figured I broke my ankle because

It has gone so incredibly fast. I can honestly say that I am going to miss this class. I am not going to miss the drive to Collinsville‚ though. I feel that I have grown a great bit while making my way through this Cross Cultural cluster. I never once dreaded having to work all day and then having to go to class and sit for four hours. My classmates are great. As a class‚ we

It finally shows Dixon breaking free of the shackles that society imposes on him and rising up and speaking out on how he feels‚ rather than hiding away and playing by the rules that are forced upon him. Amis uses short sentences and creates a fast pace to convey the confrontational and aggressive mood of the passage. The conversation between Dixon and Bertrand is direct and to the point with the use of emotive and‚ at times‚

In the story The Gun Without a Bang by Robert Sheckly‚ a man named Dixon is testing a new super pistol. I think that the theme of this story is that it isn’t the power of a weapon to the effect of visual pain it has on others. On page thirty five‚ Dixon is going on about how great of a weapon it is. His only complaints were that the gun was heavy and unbalanced. He said one of the greatest features was that it didn’t need to be reloaded. The gun was so great in his eyes that he said it was the

Dixon specifically is so heavyhearted that he strolls over the road to the advertisement office to physically assault Red‚ notwithstanding tossing him out the window (however not slaughtering him).

article entitled “Abortion is Not a Sin”‚ Poppy Dixon makes the claim that abortion is not a sin because the Bible does not label it as a sin. In fact‚ Dixon boldly states that those who regard abortion as sinful are committing the sins of idolatry and blasphemy. This controversial statement stirs up a very heated argument. As a Christian‚ I strongly disagree with this statement. The idea of abortion not being a sin is totally unbiblical. Dixon‚ takes scriptures and twists them to justify the
