In my hometown‚ I didn’t have many friends. My parents decided it would be best for me if we moved. So‚ we moved to a building where there is no one my age? Great plan Mom‚ Great plan. I was expelled from my last school because I got in a lot of trouble. I can’t explain what I did‚ but let’s just say it’s one heck of a story. I guess I’m a 13 year old punk. At my old school people never really talked to me. They thought I was “the emo freak.” The funny thing is‚ they think that because I wear black

Teaching is sacrificial and it is a calling for those who have a servant’s heart. I am frequently reminded of a student in my Beginning Band class two decades ago. His name was Carlton and he was a special needs student in sixth grade. Carlton desperately wanted to learn to play the Baritone horn well enough that he could perform on the Spring Band Concert but band rehearsals were short and he needed more help. So‚ he and I agreed that he would skip recess and I would skip lunch a few times each

On March 29th of 2016 I stood for a moment looking out at the ocean. It was cold and cloudy out‚ and looking down the beach you can see that there were a few people out‚ and even less out in the water. Behind me‚ bundled up in jeans and jackets‚ to the group of my family and friends. Right next to me on one side that’s my uncle‚ who was the pastor and a role model for me and my faith growing up. On my other side should my youth minister‚ who I had become close with over the past few months. Together

Basketball The game started brightly‚ we attack‚ they attack back‚ but this wasn’t just a normal game. This was a playoff match against our arch rival Riverbank High‚ in what was a repeat of last years finals. So far so good I was thinking to myself as I was supped off for the first time in the quarter‚ we were up by four points going into to the second half. All of the sudden they went on a scoring run and our defense completely gave out‚ in just the two minutes before the half the score

Tapping the table anxiously waiting for that buzzer to finally beep‚ I am ready to end this. beep‚ beep‚ beep. My self control wasn’t always the best. I would speak my mind often. My mouth was at times as fast as a Nascar and as out of control as a tornado. I was at a debate tournament and I was about to ask the opposing team my questions about the South China Sea conflict. I was so anxious to ask but couldn’t due to the timer. My impulsivity is pretty unique. It’s like my super power in that it

Freshman year‚ it was my first time doing track. I really wanted to do shot put because my dad and my aunt did it in high school and they were very good. I tried to do the glide at first and then rotational‚ but then I realized I should stick with the glide. I didn’t really know if I’d like it but I still tried it. Once I tried shot put I fell in love with it. I always wanted to do it. All through the season‚ I did a technique called the glide. That was the normal high school technique. For a freshman

Call it terror‚ stage fright‚ a panic attack. By anyone’s terminology‚ I literally thought I was going to die. Or maybe I simply wanted to die‚ rather than proceed with my dismal fate. Sensing a lack of oxygen in my lungs‚ I began to quietly hyperventilate. Breathe‚ Kelly‚ breathe. For a split second‚ I wondered if this was how people felt at the very moment that they "lost it". Ironically‚ to an outside observer‚ nothing unusual was happening. The scene was a college class in Japanese‚ on the day
