She was looking out the kitchen window, past her back porch and white picket fence. She was staring out into the field were her husband would spend all day on his tractor pulling a metal brush hog with its sharp unyielding blade cutting away at the helpless young shoots of grass. Now the field is overgrown with weeds and wild flowers she stares at the field and laughs softly and says to herself, “Oh Wilber how badly I wanted you to fall off your damn tractor cut your skinny old body in
After the the first shot I took my mind went blank. The adrenaline that flowed throughout my body, the feelings of rush, excitement, and success all in one combination of emotions. These were the feelings I had no idea excited until after that moment. Although I had a slight ache in my shoulder due to the force of the 12 gauge shotgun pushing against my shoulder. I was at a lost of words my only reactions was to run, run as fast as I could to get to the dying turkey. Once there the turkey was not fully dead yet It was still flopping around and blood camp oozing out splattering me. Looking at the suffering bird I places my boot on it head to the ground, then grabbed the turkey's body pulling it so its
“Hey you want to drive”, my step-dad yelled over the loud engine of blue grizzly 4x4 quad I yelled “yes!!”, so as I got one the quad I put on my helmet and fased the strap on the same color helmet.
I want you to know just how much I miss you. Life has been very different out here living my life on the front lines. I miss running through the fields and playing baseball with you. I miss going down to the lake and fishing with you. I hope that you know that I would do anything to be with you right now but sadly I can’t. I have now realized war isn’t what it is made out to be. Some movies make soldiers out to be some extraordinary heroes and show that the good guys never die but that's not the case in the real battlefield. As it turns out underneath the uniform is just a normal person like me or you. Also, as it turns out the good guys die too, and a lot of them. Life in the trenches might be worse than it is made out to be. Living conditions

We Three Kings Daycare was the venue in which I chose to complete my field work. Luckily for me, my mom is one of the employees and so gaining access, setting up a theme, date, and time was one of the easier aspects of this project. The group, my mom, is typically responsible for ranges from 8-11 children ages six through eight. Due to the slightly older age group I was working with. I forego beginning with a song partly because I could not find anything relatable to my theme, and also because I planned on doing my story time after they had come in from playing outside. I figured outdoor play would be enough exertion to keep the jitters at bay. Gathering everyone in a circle, I introduced myself and had everyone go around and tell me their

I am going to be talking about the time I missed an important deadline and spent my day writing an essay about a career instead of actually going out getting to experience a day in the field. I should have gotten my forms signed so that I would have been allowed to go to CSD.
Why does Corporate Mentality shun the idea of downtime? What is so sinister about a
As we took our first steps on the trail we had know idea that we would have walked ten miles total. It was all uphill and made of dirt. We had to cross rivers and watch out for rattlesnakes and buffalo. This would be one of the hardest hikes we did. It was tiring and hot. The heat waves in the distance seemed to make it feel hotter. As we kept going we arrived to our first obstacle.
Bang! I heard a loud noise, it was the door that my daughter slammed, she was coming down the hallway entering the house and she walked past me without saying good evening mom. Then she threw herself on my coach like she owned the joint. I followed her into the living room, well! I said someone is not happy today, have a bad day at work did you. She just looked at me while holding her head towards the ground. I then asked her if she wanted to talk about it. She sounded like she growled and my reply was, when you are ready to talk, you know where to find me.
Every summer, in the dead of night, a blood-curdling scream came from the mountains; at first, I thought it was old man rivers dogs getting one of them coons; then I remembered, old man river hung up his gun for good last fall. Fascinated by the noise I took Lakota, my one hundred and sixty pound Great Dane out into the woods for a look around. So, Rufus and I were off; off into the unknown thicket of the Ozarks.
At some point in life, there will be a time when one explores an idea of issue of personal interest in depth. That’s the real starting point since it marks the beginning of a milestone journey. It will open many new doors in one’s life. Nonetheless, with it come great responsibilities. It might sound stupid, but take a moment to really ponder it. I asked myself, “Why do I want to devote my life to a career in medicine?” The answer lies within my junior year of high school.
A loud continuous beeping was the first thing I woke up to at 7:30 on Saturday morning. I woke up the feeling of excitement washing over me, it was game day. I put on my Hawkeye gear and headed down to Kinnick Stadium. I walked and saw hundreds of other Hawkeye fans tailgating and waiting for the game to start. As I walked to the tailgating spot the shouts of go hawks could be heard along with the prevalent smell of alcohol. At the tailgating spot Iowa lawn chairs and white tables were set up. The table of food was stocked with Casey’s breakfast pizza, fruit, breakfast casseroles and chips. I heard the ting of the frisbee hit the metal post and the clatter of a bottle as it fell off. Then cheers of the two guys that had won the game. I then
I was actually excited to go on a hike, even though I’m not much of an outside person.
