It was the month of November and the year was 2008. I did not plan on going to the hospital on this day but my mother received a phone call. That one call was my reason for being waken up at 4 a.m. listening to my mom as she reused me to get dressed. One call changed my life forever. A person from the hospital called and said that my grandmother was not breathing normally. After we got to the hospital we find out that the cancer she was diagnosed with has affected her breathing‚ which caused tubes

My Favorite Dish Most of us have a certain type of favorite dish‚ but my favorite dish is seared steak with a garlic glaze. I love this dish because it reminds of that time my cousin told me about it and described it. Ever since he told me I always wanted it to try it. I couldn’t try the dish because he didn’t know the name of it and so I couldn’t try it out in some other restaurant or make it myself. The only way I had to try it was to go where he lives and he lives out of state‚ I had to wait

When asked to write an essay about my favorite song‚ I thought this would be easy. After several days of contemplation‚ I decided this was not going to be as easy as I thought. However‚ I did manage and decided that “Grown Men Don’t Cry” by Tim McGraw had to be my favorite. I enjoy this song for many reasons; a few being the artist‚ it’s message‚ and the songs tempo. Tim McGraw has had a decade long hot-streak that contains nineteen number one singles‚ six multi-platinum albums‚ sales over 25

My most perfect day would be on a brisk December morning‚ as the new sunlight filtered weakly through storm glass‚ my bare feet would touch the frigid hard wood floor for a second before finding my fluffy white slippers. I would walk through a long‚ dark hallway-complete with creepy photographs and a red Oriental hall rug-and a winding wooden staircase before reaching a black-and-white kitchen. In the kitchen‚ I would prepare myself a delicious hot mug of tea and pop some bread in the toaster. Blackberry

If I had known how crummy my day would have been‚ I would have stayed in bed. But I was oblivious to the horrors the day held. I lived in a world with magic‚ where I had powers‚ but my aunts kept drilling it in that I had to use them for “good deeds.” Which‚ obliviously excluded my own needs. For example‚ one day in kindergarten when Kelsey “accidentally” spilled juice on me‚ it was wrong to make her slip and fall into mud during recess‚ which ended me in getting a scolding of a Clarissa-why-did-you-make-her-fall-do-not-abuse-your-powers

In Friday 13th’s lesson we worked on combining techniques used by Frantic Assembly and Stafford-Clark with the central themes from Miller’s The Crucible.

We then assigned characters‚ with Emily as a bride‚ Milly as mother of the bride and me as the bridesmaid. Next‚ we used cards to measure how excited our character
