    My family places a high importance on education; this is why my grandparents pushed me to learn to read and write. Since they did this, I also want to instill this into my little sister, Kaylee. It seems like my grandparents always pushed me to do my best, because of this, I could read at a very young age, but not without their help, guidance, and reassurance. I have loved to read for as long as I can remember, and I am blessed that my grandparents shared their love of reading with me all those years

    Everything was going great on our way home our two week long mission. Lucy and I were up front, talking side by side about the new addition of Sorcerer Magazine while Natsu and Gray walked behind us. They were bickering once more about something that I didn 't bother to pay any attention to. And Happy was most likely walking besides them. Happy wasn 't to happy with me at the moment, as I had stepped on his tail by accident while trying to help out Natsu take down a monster. No matter how many

    “To the Harbormaster”: An Open Letter to God At first glance, it appears as though O’Hara’s poem “To the Harbormaster” is about a man sailing a turbulent sea, but there is far more to examine past the surface level of the poem. O’Hara chooses to use the word “vessel” (14) in the poem. The Oxford English dictionary defines the word “vessel” in multiple ways. One is “any structure designed to float upon and traverse the water for the carriage of persons or goods; a craft or ship of any kind.” It is

    Reading I learned so much from the reading information that was given to us over the span this course. Everything that I received is so wonderful and exciting, but because of the mass information, I did feel a little overwhelmed. All of the information on mini lessons and guided reading was so valuable because I did not know much about it, but this course and the information provided really simplified it for me. I also really appreciate the information on the reading strategies, particularly the

    My legs are spinning me around In a pattern I don’t recognize anymore. To a song I no longer remember. The same-old routine feels weird and clumsy. Odd and Unfamiliar. Tiring and Annoying. I had never been sad before. Or at least, not depressed in a way like this. I was extremely sick, and nobody knew why, or how to fix it. To have your hope just ripped into shreds before your very own eyes can tear apart your heartstrings like nothing you’ve ever felt before. Outside, the colors are diluted

    I Told You So. Now before you get too comfortable with the simple little title listen up buttercup and allow me to let you in on a little secret. I’m not what you would call a nice guy I might walk the walk, but deep down once you get to know me on a comfortable level I can come off as a dick and often times I don’t think before I talk. It’s good that I’m getting this out of the way because according to Mary Karr in her book titled “The Art of Memoir” she mentions that “the best writers make you

    He nodded. “yes, but you don’t have to worry,” he said. I looked at him, my eyes filled with shock and wonder. Why wouldn’t I worry? I mean fuck, he just told me that he was telling me not to worry, even though I would probably end up being a single parent by the end of this conversion. “Why not? Now I have to take care of a child on my won. I won’t have any held, and I’ll be branded as a whore. All because I made one mistake,” I moaned. “That’s not true. I’m going to help you. I

    Bottom of the 9th. Two outs. Crack! A shallow fly ball in the air a few feet behind me, I quickly turned around to sprint and catch the ball. I’m looking up as I attempted to track the ball in the blinding Saturday morning sun and bang! As I became encompassed in darkness, my seemingly lifeless body hit the ground. I blacked out for fifteen seconds. I was then helped up by a fellow teammate. The first words to leave my lips were “Did he catch it?” I looked up, but rather than seeing cheerful teammates

    Every person who comes into your life, comes into your life for a reason. But some people come into your life and have no impact on it; and then there’s other people who come into your life and change it forever. That one person can change your life by doing something small like teaching you how to cook or they can do something even grander such as teaching you the real meaning of friendship. That one person who had a major impact on my life was my Aunt Sylvania.  She was more than an aunt to me

    Alvin, I have some things that I would like to discuss with you, regarding the parenting plan. I recognize the two of us have sort of have steered away from a few details and feel we need to get back on track. EXCHANGE Initially, when creating the parenting plan, the two of us agreed to meet half-way for exchange since you were living in Spring Hill, and I in Palm Harbor. This is why we chose the church. Since you moved to New Port Richey a few months back, I have not suggested changing the location
