My definition of trustworthy is someone who is dependable, and that is what she is. Shoumica never steals from me and that is why I trust her. Whenever I tell her something she gives me guidance on how to deal with certain circumstances. When I have a situation, Shoumica is one of the first persons to know about it. She also keeps our business between us and she does not tell anyone. Shoumica’s most outstanding characteristic that I like about her is her good sense of humor. Whenever I am distraught, she has a unique way of making me laugh which helps me to move along with my day. Even though her jokes are not funny sometimes, I still laugh knowing that she tried. I call her when I am bored or feeling sad. She always talks to me and cheers me up. Shoumica’s sense of humor will even make the grumpiest person laugh. That is why she is the best person to talk to when you need a good laugh. As you can see, Shoumica is an amazing human being. She is like an older sister I never had. What I especially like about her is that she is always looking out for me. She always wants what is best for me. We have a bond that is unbreakable, and I am glad to have such a good influence in my life. She is my mentor, my friend, my sister, and more importantly, someone who I truly
The Orioles crush the ball when they make contact. Through 76 games, according to data via ESPN Stats and Information, they average a .361/.358/.628 line and a .427 wOBA when they put the ball into play, easily the best in the majors. Out of 169 qualified batters, while the Rockies have the top two players on the list (Story and CarGo), Chris Davis ranks third, Mark Trumbo ranks seventh and Manny ranks eighth. It’s fair to say that these three hitters are the heart of the Orioles’ offense. Then, while Wieters, Jones and Alvarez are all having strong years, it is arguable that Schoop has been the fourth best offensive piece.

The Tuscarora lived in North Carolina along the coastal river, their peaceful ways and unlimited amount of patience earned them nothing but abuse from the colonists (Axelrod 60). One day a Swiss Entrepreneur, Baron Christoph von Graffenreid wanted to take control of land that had been occupied with the Tuscarora village.

There are many incredible people who tend to be glossed over in the history books. For example, Henrietta Lacks, Ada Lovelace, and Rosalind Franklin were mistreated, taken advantage of, scoffed at, and all but forgotten by history. What many of these people have in common is that they aren’t powerful white men. Women and non-Caucasians tend to be overlooked in the retelling of mankind, in favor of giving credence to their white male counterparts. One such woman is Sacagawea, a Sashone woman who bravely accompanied Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition as a translator, negotiator, and guide, all the while with a baby on her back. Many loosely associate her name with the U.S. gold dollar coin, but few know her story.
Penguin chick bathing in Tokyo’s river, zebra wondering around a Virginia suburb, two llamas frolicking on the roads of Arizona: the story of zoo escapes can sometimes be hilarious – like the five penguins in Denmark’s Odense Zoo in who left wet footprints and were immediately captured; or sometimes tragic, like the man being killed by a white tiger escaped from the Tbilisi zoo in Georgia. The history of zoos runs parallel with the development of modern cities: ever since Tiergarten Schonbrunn was founded in Vienna in 1752, the zoo of each great city unravels the strangeness, fear and beauty of its respective hosts. We learn about the tales of Enlightenment, imperialism and colonization from cities and zoos. The zoos form boarders between urban

She was just a family therapist at first, talking to each of my siblings and mother and eventually I let her in and started telling her a little bit about myself and realized, that she was not there to help me because I was “crazy” she was there for
The Kongorikishi, or Nio, were entities known to have a physically-intimidating semblance that was used to become the ruthless guardians and protectors of good values for Gautama Buddha during his early travels.
