One of the best days of my life‚was when I was seven years old and I walk through the front door and notice a small brown little puppy with big droopy ears sound asleep in a little basket. I grew ecstatic each second that went by‚but was also very nervous since this was the first time ever owning a dog. I still remember till this day how my brothers and I would argue‚ on what we were going to name our little pup. Our little beagle was light brown all over‚except all four of his paws were white. My

Write an essay on basketball history and how the game has changed over time. Basketball was invented in December 1891 and it first played with a soccer ball.

I despise the games so much for all the pain they cause to the districts. Why do 24 people have to fight to win a stupid game; men‚ women‚ teenagers even kids aren’t spared. The people of the capital make me sick. Every year I watch friends killing friends and family killing family. The worst part of all of this is that the capital calls it a retribution….A penance for the uprising that happened all those years ago. Every year we are forced to watch the inhumane tv show called‚ “the hunger games

In reality‚ what I thought had kept me grounded in who I was in fact kept me

“Chicago! I was born and raised here!” They would then proceed to ask‚ “But where are your parents from?” Ask a Caucasian person the same question‚ and there will be a higher chance of them not being further questioned about their origins. I understand that some people are just curious about others’ ethnicities and that’s perfectly fine with me. It’s just the way the question is presented that irks me and makes feel like an outcast.
