Sadly‚ America today is not what we had hoped for what we want our future to be. More deaths and destructive incidents have occurred over race. No one is able to walk the streets safely without being questioned or afraid for their lives. The people of color live in fear each and every day of their lives because of the color of their skin. There is no one that we are able to trust our lives‚ justice‚ and freedom with. Whereas white people have nothing to fear because they have never felt this way

I haven’t stopped running since May of 2013‚ and truth be told‚ I’m getting kind of tired of it. Not of the sweat‚ the fact that my legs are constantly sore‚ the nuisance of cycling all of my workout clothes through the wash every week‚ or even the fact that I still look like the skinniest guy in the gym. No‚ I’m getting tired of all the other baggage that’s come with it. It’s the snide comments about the short-shorts and the never ending “Run Forrest run!” jeer on a daily basis that I’ve had

Our guest speaker Brian had a lot to bring to the table on Wednesday. It was a great introduction to get my attention when he spoke that he was a George Fox University Alumni and that he went through the same situations that we went through.

The beginning Brian’s story was interesting when Brian

The Greats of this time have always been that: great. To be remembered‚ you have to do something. The world simply works that way. I came here to tell a story‚ and I now realize that they have already been told. See‚ to be able to tell a story‚ there must first be a story worth telling. For most people‚ such a story could not possibly hope to exist. We live‚ we die‚ we move on to Heaven beyond this life. There is no place for mediocrity in this world of wolverines and vipers.

There’s an old Beatles song that begins: "There are places I remember all my life‚ Though some have changed Some forever‚ not for better Some have gone and some remain." It seems to me‚ when we look back at our years at Thomas Middle School‚ we will have many of the same feelings. Who can forget Rory getting stuck in a mudpit at Loredo Taft? Mr. G’s inspired reading of "The Tell Tale Heart?" When Mr. B electrocuted the whole classroom? Or getting the chance to pie a teacher when

In Ceremony‚ Leslie Silko ties the concept of transitions into the book. Transitions are used to describe and show the change that Tayo is going through during the whole book‚ or his ceremony. They show Tayo’s progress in his ceremony and also show his change of thinking.

This shows that Tayo’s world revolves around transitions
