didn’t have any classes with any of my friends. I figured if I had at least one or two classes with my friends it would be another awesome year like ninth grade was when I had almost all of my classes with at least one of my friends. Like before I talked about how I was bummed for the first few months of school because I didn’t have any classes with my friends. I realized that I was perfectly fine the way it was in tenth grade because I was still able hang out with my friends during the sophomore lunch

This town I found myself in right now was unique. For some reason‚ it felt different from all the rest. Sure‚ it was breathtaking‚ but that was not what was bringing on this feeling. I tried to observe my surroundings carefully for this loose thread. The red cobblestone was lowly lit in the warm glow of the Christmas lights that hung everywhere. Explosions of red and green and blue and yellow filtered everything in sight like 3D glasses. Tinsel and garland wound around the support columns of

The True Story of Slavery The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is a riveting story that shows how cruel and dehumanizing slavery truly is. Slavery was an issue for nearly all of the 70 years it plagued America. In this narrative Douglass brings to light the sickening experience that slavery is for slaves themselves. Douglass is able to communicate how terrible the institution of slavery is because of the physical abuse many masters forced the slaves to endure‚ the necessities that were

“Run! You got this Hannah!”‚ shouted my dad. Hearing him cheer me on urged me to play tougher‚ run faster‚ kick the ball harder. I passed to one of my teammates‚ she scored‚ and the crowd went wild. I turned towards my dad and saw his smile explode across the field making me feel like the utmost adored person in the world. This was my junior year. It has been three months since my father abruptly died. I spent time with him on Sunday and he was gone on Monday. I felt desolate‚ heartbroken‚ and resentful

thinking about how it affected my life. “Sure it bothered me‚ but I didn’t need him‚” is a quick summary I tell my friends. My father left Illinois not too long after I was born. My mother was still here‚ falling a tad bit short of the “responsible” example. Overall‚ I’ve done superb without him. However‚ thinking about all the times I wish he’d been here‚ I realize it made a big impact on my outlook and opinions. March of 2014 changed my life. I had spoken to my father once‚ a few weeks before

have always been drawn to the validation of the attention I received when doing something well. And soccer wasn’t an exception. I was in third grade when my family decided to make the move to Leechburg‚ Pennsylvania. Coming from a much smaller school and town‚ my parents decided to enroll me in the local soccer program to make new friends. My Coach‚ Coach Steve‚ was an amazing coach and mentor. He was a modest man who came from a low-class family in Portugal‚ soccer‚ however‚ afforded him a chance

fathers. For me this statement rings true as my parents passed their guilt and shame about their ancestry on to me. I grew up in Los Angeles‚ the daughter of a biracial father and a German mother‚ and attended a coed private school from pre-K to 6th grade. During the summers my brothers and I went to Germany. Although I felt strong ties to my German heritage my mom never spoke about what it was like to grow up under fascism in Nazi Germany. Similarly‚ my father did not speak about his family and

to this post‚ you are probably ready for some solutions. The internet is brimming with advice on what to do and not do. I know when my daughter was first diagnosed with ADHD‚ I was completely overwhelmed. Here I was with this diagnosis but no one bothered to give me an instruction manual. All I was told is that she would do better if I medicated her and sent on my way. I wasn’t given a list of things to try‚ people to contact for advice‚ or even much moral support. It was all up to me to figure

Carlson Final Copy My life in High School I spent the first two year of high school at Westland High in Columbus Ohio. Those years were somewhat average and most of the time I felt board‚ even though I was on the track team. One of the more unusual things that occurred was that a classmate‚ who I had talked with many times and who sat by me in a few classes murdered his parents! I spent the rest if high school at Grove City High School‚ after moving there in my junior year. My senior year was

didn’t know heartbreak until June 28‚ when my dad told me that he had stage 4 cancer. I didn’t know fear until August 13‚ when I found out that he would have to undergo radiation to combat a tumor in his brain. I didn’t know weariness until August 24‚ when everyone at school talked about how great their summer had been‚ and I had to lie and say that mine had been fine. I didn’t know how deep my love for my dad ran until June 29‚ when I wiped away my tears‚ stood a little straighter‚ and vowed
