The Big Blue Building The big cars were rushing by so fast. They were so loud‚ and I was so scared. I walked down the alley to hide behind the big green metal dumpster with all the rancid smelling trash inside of it. I tucked my tail and tried to stay warm as I hid from the cars and those villainous humans walking past. As it got darker‚ I started to doze off. I tried to stay as awake and on guard as I could‚ but I was just so exhausted. I had been running around all day trying to find a safe place

My Descriptive Writing (By Eduardo Sánchez Morales - M2) I heard the evil laughs of the spoilt men‚ and the screech‚ of the beer opening. I felt sick‚ like as if I had eaten the entire contents of the fridge. I rest my hand on the rough paintwork that coats the door and push. Rough wooden splinters cut into my palm; shards of black paint crumble to the floor. The hinges squeal as though they are a warning. Laughter overpowers the jukebox. Conversations swirl in a dirty cloud of smoke. The intense

Daniel Pathammavong Fundamentals of Public Speaking Outside Speaker 12/14/14 This Saturday on the 13th I went to see a speaker talk in Minneapolis on Nicollet Ave. I had found out about the event from a website called Meetup.com. There was a travel author planning to speak at a meeting room in a coffee shop about how living internationally can change your perspective. I thought that was intriguing so I went! It was at 2p.m that Saturday and there wasn’t a time scheduled for it to end. When I

completely. I have found that in general education classrooms‚ teachers and students very rarely go outside to engage in the environment to learn science content. I know that when I was in elementary school we were able to go outside more and do science experiments outside‚ etc. and this helped me so much. I have also seen that in my special education classroom that my kids benefit from going outside and learning the content out there. They see that I truly love the outdoors and this definitely rubbed

This article featured in US Catholic Magazine discusses the importance that a pilgrimage can offer our spiritual life. I found out that pilgrimages to important Catholic sites‚ usually where Jesus or saints traveled are important today as they were thousands of years ago. Before modern transportation‚ pilgrims took a prolonged journey that lasted anywhere from several weeks to a year. This extended travel really demonstrated a pilgrim’s dedication to their faith. Usually the reasons for this trip

My House. Upon entering my house‚ you notice the mismatched brown and blue plaid couches under bare walls. A huge television blocks the only window in the room‚ with an old scratched coffee table groaning under a weeks worth of mail. Guacamole colored shag carpet over powers the cheap Asian rug trying to smother it. The blue and brown couches are as comfortable as reclining on bales of straw covered with course burlap. A pomegranate candle sits on top of the television and is lit every morning to

While I was strolling on the beachfront‚ I happened upon a bottle under the slowly rolling waves. I picked it up‚ unscrewed the cork cap‚ took out the parchment coiled inside‚ and rolled it out on the fine sand to read the message. It was written in Spanish‚ but my years of education in the Spanish language had allowed me to effectively decipher it. To whomever finds this letter‚ I was one of the sailors aboard the Sanlúcar‚ the Spanish cargo ship that crashed near the shore of this accursed island:

I awoke on a beach‚ completely soaked‚ with salt water up my nose‚ and sand in every uncomfortable place imaginable. Drenched black hair obscured my sight. Cold sea air chilled my bare back. If I didn’t move soon I would die of hypothermia. I stood on my trembling legs. The cold wind bit at my chest. The sky was dark and it was clear that it would rain soon. Broken boards and scattered crates littered the shore. Clearly I was on some kind of ship‚ but where I was or where I came from was lost to

The Fallen It is a beautiful day in New York City. You can hear a symphony of sirens and songbirds as the sun’s radiant beams dance among the clouds. There are people everywhere laughing and enjoying the day. Suddenly everything changes. Then the sound of a deafening explosion echoes through the air. A plane has just struck one of the infamous Twin Towers. Fire is blazing above as thick clouds of smoke roll out of the top of the North Tower. Another thunderous blow shatters the atmosphere. Then

The campsite that I visit yearly always seems to surprise me. Last year‚ I visited Bear Creek Camp for the fourth time. When one goes to a camp‚ they can expect to get soaked in mud from head to toe‚ leaving them to scratch off the crusty residue until they are graced with a shower. They can definitely count on the infinite drone of insects‚ keeping them up until the crack of dawn. Above all‚ they can count on something to go wrong. Last year‚ I was greeted at camp with a torrent of rain that
