Slue Foot Sue lived with her Mamma and her Daddy at the tip top of the Rio Grande in Colorado. Slue Foot Sue turned thirteen, but her parents said they had no gift because there was no one to be seen for 500 miles in all directions. So Slue Foot Sue went for a walk, and saw hoofprints. She followed them, and got curious and more curious because there were no wagon tracks behind the prints. She followed them for a week, going around and around the camp. Then one day she looked up, and saw the whitest horse she had ever seen in her life. She crept up to it, slowly, slowly, slowly. Then with one huge leap, she jumped onto the horse's back screaming “YEE HAW!” The horse whinnied, reared back, and galloped all the way back to camp, quick as a flash. When Mamma and Daddy saw what she brought home, they decided to let her have it for a late birthday present. So Slue Foot Sue named her horse Lighting, and she rode her 300 miles every day.

Cameron Academy, the place where it all started for me. The first ever school that I had gone to. It was the place where I learned to fear anyone older and bigger than you because the teenagers there were not above fighting kindergarteners. Where I learned that the safest place to be after school was the office because the fights between the police and the students that took place outside on the front steps of the school were too brutal for me to witness; at least that's what my mom told me. That school was the place where I learned to be ashamed of any art that I may produce, to always keep it to myself, lest I be laughed at by the teachers. Cameron Academy is where I learned that “bad” kindergarteners who were in Ms. Valorie’s class got beat up.

The young cowboy was barely learning how to be an actual cowboy. The young cowboy had a horse but the horse was not completely his until he knew how to ride it.

Being born in Jackson, TN life was different for me than those that grew up in the integrated societies in California or the yanks up north. My momma was always having me help around the house and cook, clean, and tend after my five younger siblings. My daddy ran a small farm that provided for our family. It wasn’t a lavish life by any means but we got by and had each other. Our family mainly grew corn on our farm but we had a couple of cows and chickens to keep the family fed throughout the year. Being the oldest child and a girl I mostly focused on helping momma around the house when I was at home, but my parents instilled a great faith in all of us children

I never thought the day would come where I’d have to admit to myself I had an addiction. The hardest part was to except the fact I was an addict of painkillers and admitting it to my family so that I could get the help and support needed to get clean. The road leading to my addiction started with the factors of my childhood, always trying to fit in and not being supported emotionally from my parents. Having a child at the age of sixteen was the second factor, which made me grow up faster than a normal child at my age would have had to. Living the life of an addict was a struggle everyday but, getting help was the hardest part of it all. I’ll live with this disease for the rest of my life because recovery is a

It’s four o’clock in the afternoon and the sun is still shining bright in Fort Jackson, South Carolina. It is hot outside, about 99 degrees. My heart is pounding with fear of the unknown. The bus stops and the doors fold open. A soldier comes running up the bus stairs in a round brown hat screaming at the top of his lungs, “Get off the bus, now soldiers!” I jump out of my seat and immediately rush to the front of the bus, along with about twenty other new recruits. I have no idea what to expect but have heard the horror stories about basic training and how much the Drill Sergeants yell and apparently this Drill Sergeant has a set of lungs on him that could dwarf a bullhorn.

I did not meet with Pt. , I was paged by Lisa Micciulla, front desk in the emergency room to please come to the ED concerning an "urgent" situation regarding this Pt.

Based on the order from probate court. Ms. McDonald has visits with Pt on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday 11:00 a.m. -4:00 p.m.

He sticks a Scooby-doo Band-Aid on my arms and then gives me a forced smile. He is also a victim of Chemanium.

I have not always been myself; the person I am today is very different than who I used to be. I have seen myself sprout and bloom into a confident, young woman in a matter of three years. I remember arriving at my high school during freshman year a nervous wreck; I had very few friends despite being in the same school system my entire educational career. The previous year had left a stale taste in my mouth, and I longed for a fresh start. I remember walking through the wide hallways with countless bodies bustling around me. Seeing all those different people made me think. Who was I exactly?

The narrative written by Judith Ortiz Cofer discusses some of the many experiences she has encountered throughout her life dealing with stereotypes and common misconceptions of Latin American women. To further engage her audience in the story, she provides detailed past experiences that have stood out to her the most. In order for the readers to fully understand those past encounters, some of which are cultural and common among Latinos, Cofer explains them in careful detail. For example, Cofer explains the concept of piropos which are poems composed on the spot by men to women as a form of admiration. This helps her introduce the audience to her own experiences with piropos and how she has dealt with them throughout her life. One of the

My heart was beating a hundred miles a minute. I was excited to ride the horse, but also nervous. I had never been around a horse before so I didn’t really know what to do. I knew horses kick or buck when frightened and I kept having to reassure myself that I was going to be okay. As we were walking up to the horse barn I shook those thoughts from my head. I could already hear the horses breathing and the smell of the fresh hay was oozing out of the building. My Uncle opened the barn door and my Aunt walked out with Striker, their oldest and nicest horse. Striker was very tall for a horse and all black, except for his nose, which had white

My parents worked hard and strived for their success, people often thought because my mother dressed me very nice that I had money. I recall growing up in a one bedroom apartment, but as my parents worked to gain more knowledge through college and grad school that they would able to provide a better life for me as I grew older. My mother works as a social worker and dad a Veteran of the United States Army and currently possesses a degree in Business Administration society labeled us as stuck up rich girl. My grandparents often told me stories of days on the farm and working for ten cents a day to earn fifty cents a week. I was taught to be thankful for the small things and big things would come. My childhood often bring tears to my eyes as

Can you saddle Buck for us?” “You know where the stuff is, go do it.” I looked at him not believing what he had just said. “Really, I can just go and ride?” “Yes, go silly. You know what you’re doing now. You’ve watched me often enough.” “Thank you, thank you, thank you” I was saying as I raced away. “Brandon said we could ride. He said we could get Buck and ride him ourselves.” I said breathlessly as I joined the others at the barn and went to grab Buck’s halter. We walked together to the corral, where the three horses were resting in the shade. Standing together they looked so peaceful, eyes half closed, a tail would swish and knock flies off of their bodies, they didn’t even look our way as we approached. This would be so easy I thought as we opened the gate and went into the corral. As we got closer, the horses perked their ears up and turned their heads our way. As they began to come awake, I could see muscles in their shoulders and hindquarters twitch and in that moment, I started to realize that this might not be as easy as I thought. The big black horse took off from the corner and the other horses followed, their hooves stirred up dust as they went, their nostrils flared and they snorted, their ears pinned down to their heads. Even Buck who was so gentle, showed a lot of spunk, and seemed to enjoy kicking up his heels as he followed the other
