Descriptive Portrait: My Grandmother When I picture my grandmother‚ I envision shiny grey hair‚ bright blue eyes‚ and the softest hands I have every felt. She is 94 years old and has 12 children. Virginia Irene Dill has raised many children‚ and that makes her the strongest person I know. When I walk through the door of her 75 year old home‚ I think of all the pain and joy my grandmother went through there. After so many years‚ our time together was not quite the same as it used to be since ten

Lily Campbell Block 3 Mr. Watrous 18 September 2012 Who is Mr. Watrous? When we initially meet someone‚ we immediately tend to judge by physical appearance. This is somewhat of a natural instinct‚ although the way someone looks does not necessarily reflect the individual’s true self. When I first strolled into Mr. Watrous’s classroom‚ my first impression was that he’d be a stern‚ serious teacher. Soon after I heard him speak to our class‚ and even more after having him for a few blocks‚

At the Game Bright lights illumine the night sky. The distant roar of cheers and applause hits my ears—it is a Sunday night football game at the Chiefs. As my aunt and I walk to the gates‚ we are confronted by two massive men patting another down. We get closer to the gate and I hear the clicking of the tickets—a beautiful song in a surprisingly synchronized rhythm. We then walk to our seats fighting our way through the crowded channels of hallways. We find our seats—front row on the 50

North of Alaska‚ ripples scattered over the water as the small ’u’ shaped trawler glided through the shivering water. As Summer swept through‚ the mountains with the remains of snow enclosed the lake‚ distant from the open sea. A small gulley was the only way to access the unknown feverish water. A thin layer of ice sat clumsily on the cool liquid. As the humble boat pierced through the slender layer of ice‚ it parted with ease leaving a slushy mix on the surface. Calmly‚ the middle aged man walked

The program known as DACA‚ or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals‚ was created by the Obama Administration in 2012. It protected young immigrants brought to the United States by their parents from deportation. This program is now being unjustifiably removed by the Trump Administration and many people are left asking why as the reasons given were inadequate and flawed in many ways. For example‚ in his announcement‚ Sessions said‚ “DACA denied jobs for hundreds of thousands of Americans by

Mobile Maiden Sixty seconds. The time the sun will remain above the horizon. Los Angeles lights up red and orange for a brief moment and dies into the darkness. Stores illuminate our path across the boardwalk again. My parents walk a few yards in front of me. I wiggle my toes in the gritty sand and lift my face to the sky from where rain drops start to fall. We turn and dash into a T-Mobile store. My father checks out the deals and buys a hideous Nokia cellphone for my mother: a hard blue

My Feet By Chris Grace Resting on the floor when I look down is one of the least favored parts on my body‚ my feet. The marble-like color of pink and tan blended together and the almost engraved looking marks around my ankle from wearing socks all day make them just make up some of the characteristics I hate about my feet. From the bottom of them being as rough as sandpaper and flowing into the top where it is smooth as a baby’s face to the tops of my toes coming to a ball shape like an aliens
