It had been a usual week at 221B Baker Street for the consulting detective. Well‚ the norm since his best friend’s wife‚ Mary‚ had passed. Why had he provoked the receptionist? Why? If he would have kept quiet then she might of still been alive and god why did she have to step out in front of him. The bullet was meant for him not her. He should have been the one who died. She could have lived a long prosperous life raising her and John’s daughter‚ Rosamund. Sherlock took a long drag of the cigarette

I was born in Brazil‚ on the 27th of June‚ 1986. That’s where I lived until I was 8 years old‚ and then I moved to the United States for the first time. My father wanted to achieve a Master’s Degreee in Marketing‚ but we had not moved to a little town in the state of Michigan for only his advantage. He also wanted me and my older brother to learn a second language because he believed we would greatly benefit from this experience. My dad was right‚ for what I gained from learning English became obvious

TO CUBA Cuba has been on my “must see before I die” list for about ten years now. Something about the impossibility of it made it more appealing to me. I wanted to experience a country that wasn’t dominated by consumerism‚ a place where new trends rarely reached‚ and most of all‚ I wanted to experience what it meant to live a Cuban life. And now‚ since President Obama took a trip to start mending the not-so-stable relations between both countries‚ I knew it was my last chance to visit before McDonalds

I am involved. I have been dancing for fourteen years now‚ playing the piano for thirteen years‚ and running track for almost six years. Not to mention‚ I have managed to hold three jobs now and‚ I have donated the remainder of my free time to community service. Perhaps to say that I am involved is an understatement- I am totally involved! Nonetheless‚ I don’t think I would be nearly as well-rounded as I would be without four vital virtues: scholarship‚ character‚ leadership‚ and service. I believe

Growing up I read almost everyday. Reading took me to places I never thought I would go. I’ve been an alien fighting against others to save earth‚ a lost bird looking for my mother‚ a highschool kid going through what every other high school kid goes through. Of course that was before technology took over my life but I still manage to pick up a book every now and then. I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore‚ one of the most interesting books I’ve ever read‚ is the first book in the Lorien Legacies series

As long as I can remember I have always wanted to be a nurse. I loved the fact that I could help someone and love doing my job at the same time.

I believe in Heartbreak. I fell in love with an amazing girl. Granted I’m only 18 years old and most people doubted the maturity and promise behind my so called “love”. People told me that my youthfulness and raging hormones must have been confusing lust for love‚ that it’s natural at such a young age to mistaken the two. I’m sorry‚ but I had to disagree. Was it lust that put a smile on my face whenever she entered a room? Was it lust when the mere thought of her brought about feelings in me that
