It all came down to the this game. My team‚ The Surge‚ had just made it to the Championship game. The previous game was way too close. It was the morning of the final 13u Louisville slugger baseball tournament. As I was putting on my uniform‚ I noticed my hand shaking slightly. I do what I normally do‚ take a deep breath‚ count down from ten‚ and finally imagine myself at the plate‚ cranking one over their heads. The team and I met up at the field for the final game. Instantly as I stepped onto

When I get home from school‚ my parents are all dressed up. It looks like they’re going to a wedding so I ask‚ what’s the need for the nice outfits? And they reply by saying they’re going on a date and have a babysitter coming to watch over me.

About 30 minutes after they leave I see the babysitter pick up the phone

My skin offered no protection from the cold like their heavy fur coats did‚ but I looked past it. I wore moose and bear skins in the

Prejudice is something that no one thinks they are fond of. I have never found myself to be in a situation where I thought that I was being bias or making an unreasonable assumption in the moment. However‚ after pondering over certain situations‚ I realized that I have found myself to make assumptions in a few circumstances. I met one of my best friends last year during field hockey season.

I got asked if I was gay in middle school gym class by prying girls as they saw me repeatedly miss foul shots. My answer was always “no”. Looking back‚ I’m not even sure those prodding questions had any merit. However‚ the occasional jab of “that’s gay” or brotherly love manifested by the word “faggot” were so prevalent that I began considering their validity. At what point does “gay” become more than a juvenile insult? Ever since I was little I knew I was different‚ but I assumed I felt just as

Dear Journal‚ Today is September 20‚ 2030. I woke up in this strange and desolate place. The last thing I remembered before waking up was seeing my husband‚ Anthony‚ and my son‚ Angel. We were boarding a spaceship to the moon‚ the last spaceship‚ because Earth is no longer suitable for life. I heard the moon was wonderful and full of life‚ well at least that is what the government says‚ unlike Earth which is now dead and looks like a giant dumpster. I looked all around this place searching for

Purchasing a new car can be a gamble. There are many factors that play part in a car buyer’s decision. Take for instance a 2010 Ford Fusion and 2010 Honda Civic. Both are great cars‚ and will most likely be worth every penny a person puts in to one of them. But‚ taking into consideration‚ gas mileage‚ features‚ and price‚ which would be the better buy?
