“That’s RIDICULOUS!” Violet screamed across the table. “You cannot expect me to just sit in the car while you guys do all the fun stuff!”

“Quite a friend you got there.” Sabra teased. “They left and now you’re all alone, if you know something, I’d suggest you speak now.”

Lauren: Yeah. I know. Look, Truman, I'm not allowed to talk to you. You know.

"I heard, all three of them have been messing around for months. I get Veronica and Duncan fighting over Logan, but Duncan and Logan fighting over Veronica? I mean, come on." Madison didn't bother whispering or even concealing her snicker just because Veronica was well within earshot. "Plus, think of the Lilly Kane ick factor, no wonder she was sleeping with that psycho Aaron Echolls if her boyfriend and her best friend and her brother were all wrapped up in some gross love triangle, and who knows how long ago it started?"

Aaliyah Grayson is a quiet, happy thirteen year old girl. She goes to Redside Middle School in Seattle, Washington. Everyone in the school raves about how she is the kindest, sweetest, amazing singer. Her best friend Amelie says, “I always hear her singing, she never stops!” Aaliyah hates being the center of attention, but when the sound of her beautiful voice flies through the air, all eyes and ears are listen and watching her. “I love to play the guitar and sing because it makes my peers feel happy.” Everyone agrees on the fact of how pretty she is, inside and out.

Throughout our reading in chapter five, “The Preservation of the Revelation: Inspiration,” of Erickson’s Introducing the Christian Doctrine we discovered that there are five different theories which people hold to about how the Bible was inspired. Though, roughly, I could see how each theory could be argued to be true there are only three which I agree with. Two of those theories I agree with fully. These theories are The Dynamic and The Verbal Theory.

Nine years ago, I never could have imagined I’d be writing this essay. I was a senior in high school, and, like the rest of my classmates, I was apprehensive about the future. Unlike my classmates, I felt like I had missed the proverbial “you need to get your life together” message. I watched my classmates apply to colleges, their majors already decided and their future careers mapped out. While I was an above average student, I felt I lacked the decisiveness my classmates seemed to have. I did not feel passionate about a career or even a field of study. I felt defective. This was compounded by the financial strain I knew attending college would have on my family. It seemed wasteful to try to “find my passion” at school while squandering

“Hi Alexis.” She said looking down at me “Um, there’s nothing really going on right now, or at least not a lot of fun stuff. You might want to stay in there, I would have liked to stay in there, to be honest. Your sister was skipping in here for about ten minutes straight.

Mexican immigration has been a controversy in the United States since before 1980. According to Jie Zong and Jeanne Batalova, Mexican immigration can be divided in three waves: the first one, before World War two, the second one started with the Bracero program, and the last one after it. Nevertheless, Mexican immigration can be seen as something threat, as many Americans argue, or as the opposite, a benefit to the nation culture throughout the years. This essay will explain some of the difficulties of the Mexicans’ history in the United States’ history. Even though their history in the country is not explicit and well detail, they, as well as blacks, suffer from social segregation. Mexican American were and are a big part of United States population; by being either a good influence or a bad influence, their problems had a big impact on the American history, thanks to the issues brought, for example by the Proposition 187 from 1994, the proposition 63 created in 1986, as well as the Immigration and Control Act, and the creation United Farm Workers Union. Mexicans were excluded from any social service as education, or health, which are human rights, and for instance essential. These restrictions were brutal for the Mexican American community, who violated their rights as habitants of the United States.

I took a deep breath. "I have to finish up the rest of high school."

May 5, 1988 in North london, England an inspiring, successful artist was born (“Adele”). Adele has been very successful throughout her career. Her music is loved by so many people not just in the UK, but also across the world. How did she do it and what has inspired her? Growing up with her parents being split up and being the only child Adele’s mother taught her to be unique (“Adele”). Adele had set her goals at a young age and had big dreams she’s now achieved so much in her life. Her mother put her in BRIT a performing arts school at a young age (“France”). Neither of her parents were musical, but who would’ve known she’d become so talented. So where exactly did she get

Graduation is an exciting time in a person’s life, especially a high school graduation. When I think of family and friends gathering together to celebrate a joyous occasion, I feel I accomplished my strongest goal. It never occurred to me that graduation would be the end of my youth and the start of adulthood. Graduating from high school was an influential event that gave me an altered outlook on my existence. Life before graduation, preparing for graduation day, and commencement day overwhelmed me for reality.

When the world celebrated the 7 billionth baby’s birth in Manila a few years back, we were stepping in a society with noticeable population explosion. Those overpopulated societies which can no longer sustain themselves invade the natural environment which belongs to wildlife and over exploit natural resources for survival. Human beings are supposed to be responsible for the majority of environmental problems, while overpopulation exacerbates most problems such as pollution, deforestation, global warming, etc. Thus, to save the world from those environmental crises we should attach more importance on the people that cause them rather than just reply on developing technology to fix the problem its own. Managing the population through education and birth control policy is what we can do with global joint efforts. Reminding the public of our population problem, providing an option of birth control to families and guiding the public to live sustainably will slow down the population growth, and hopefully in the long sense reduce world’s population. Most importantly, such declining population which owns greener lifestyle creates a benign and harmonious relationship with the planet.
