I have returned home to finish out my probation. I am required to check in with my probation officer‚ Mr. Edwards‚ everyday so he can drug test me and keep tabs on my now extremely boring life.

She told me she was very happy to see I was free of that hell hole and apologized for helping Kyle put me there. Supposedly

Freedom Freedom isn’t what people think it is. People have the idea of peace freedom confused. In Roosevelt’s speech he says “an equally basic essential to peace is a decent standard of living for all individual men and women and children in all nations” (Roosevelt). Absolute freedom would be completely savage as stated in “Learned Hand’s I Am an American Day Address”. Freedom is ruthless and it is not one anyone would actually want. You might want to argue that freedom is what everyone wants. But

This I Believe: Life Lessons The summer going into my freshmen year‚ I was more nervous to go to school than I was on my first day of kindergarten.

As I thought back on how I learned to be a hard worker growing up‚ I would have to say I learned it from my mom. I grew up an only child with a single mother; it was only the two of us. She worked two jobs. One was on the night shift as a nurse‚ and the other was cleaning houses during the day. Therefore‚ I had to do my part around the house. She would show me first and then let me do it. I remember one time when I was little she taught me how to make the bed. She showed me how to pull the entire

In September‚ when asked about my vacation‚ I would say brightly‚ "I visited Mexico‚ Paris and Lebanon‚" and then in a quieter voice‚ "without ever leaving Missouri."

Because I took leave from my writing responsibilities this
