When the term ‘self-harm’ is mentioned‚ of what do you think? Depressing thoughts; suicidal victims? You don’t think of me‚ do you? Six months ago I would never have dreamed I would have so many scars on my formerly undamaged skin. Now things are different. Now when I look in the mirror I see the evils twisting themselves around my arms. I’ve marred myself trying to bleed them out. They clouded my brain and tainted my bloodstream. There seemed only one way to get them out. It would work and I would

They will never get to experience the thrill of soloing for the first time or the terror of dodging crows at 100 mph. Most people will be familiar with the sensation of your stomach settling somewhere around your knees or your throat while on a roller coaster‚ well‚ flying an airplane makes that feel like walking down a flight of stairs. First off‚ I have

Lambert 1 Hayley College Writing 3‚ Sept. 2013 A Stadium of Fun The Pittsburgh Steelers have been my favorite football team since the day I was born. One fine memory I have of my childhood is watching Sunday night games with my dad‚ begging him to let me stay up late to see the ending. Football was always our thing‚ our special bond you could call it. We never thought anything could be more exciting than watching our team win on our giant flat screen television until we went to an actual

For two years‚ I played each soccer game with the same pair of cleats. These cleats stayed with me 6 different seasons‚ 5 different teams‚ and almost 100 games. The cleats were dark blue (once light blue)‚ and had neon yellow laces. They weren’t the finest cleats‚ but I had grown a bond to them over the years. The coloring on the sides had fully altered from the color that I once bought it as‚ and the ends of the laces were fraying. It’s not that I never had the opportunity to let them go‚ in fact

The sunset A sunset... The first impression of it is a beautiful and mystifying creation of the nature that leaves a great image in people?s minds; however‚ sometimes those images can associate with an opposite feeling like tiredness and anger. It was in the afternoon‚ around four; I was sitting on the beach‚ looking at the sea and the sun‚ and waiting for my friend. I enjoyed looking into the horizon of the sea where the sky and the water were merging together‚ how the waves were covering each

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‚

Accessorize with a Meaning It takes up about two inches on my thick‚ and short middle finger. It is relatively small‚ yet has been proven to have great importance and meaning. This dented‚ imperfect circle fits loosely‚ and comfortably which allows for the constant usage and handling. It has a unique‚ and undefined shape that compliments the small circles within the accessory. There is a band of a perfect line of small circles that runs infinite in the exact middle of the accessory. The thirteen

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
