...when Mr. Buck checked their progress. But it had gotten to the point where they had reached desperation. It was the last minute, and all they had was a bucket filled with supplies. It was eight in the morning and Sydni and Kellie were sitting in Kellie’s car. They had 24 hours to build a bridge adequate enough to pass. Lauren suddenly banged on the car, and there was a piece of paper with writing on it. Sydni rolled down her window, and snatched the paper from Laurens grasp. “What is this?” “Good morning to you too syd.” “ya, hi. Whos number is this ?” “A tutor! His name is Andrew.“ “Ok? Thanks for the insult Lauren,but I think I can handle passing Physics by myself..,” “No syd. That’s not what she means. Lauren are you saying that this guy can build us a bridge?…” “Yes kellie! That’s exactly what Im saying!” The three girls stared at each other in silence, and then all began talking at once. “Let’s call hi..” “Should we cal..” “Is this illeg…” Eventually, one of them ended up dialing the number. After the third ring, a man answered, “Andrew’s castle, whats your hastle?” “uhhhh. Sorry to bother you Andrew, my name is sydni. me and my friends need a little favor.” After 5 minutes, Sydni had explained their situation and agreed to meet him in Ventura to pick up the bridge at 3 that afternoon. 250 pm. Same Day “Where did he say to meet us again?” Kellie and Lauren asked in unison. “For the fifth time, he said downtown.” In reality, he had told them to...

...Hi Betty. so nick and I did everything we were supposed to do with the lady for elayah. We showed up to sign the papers, we gave them to her and got copies. Elayah was over there while we did all. And she was fussy and i don't know. By the time we got home my mom told me to call the lady Judy because she needed to talk. So I called. And I don't know how someone sends you home with finalized papers and makes you think everything's okay and set to go with elayah. But I got weird, upsetting vibe on the phone.... she told me she can't have her cause she needs too much attention and she can't give that to her. I am overwhelmed and crying over this because I feel like my baby girl won't be safe anywhere as much as I wanna think. And Judy told me she wanted to let me know she'd fill the spot but would put her on her waiting list that could take a year and that nick and I just needed to find elsewhere for her. I just want elayah to be happy and comfortable wherever she goes. Nick and I are at loss here trying to figure out what to do. And with me starting Extern on the 29th of this month and not having anyone to watch her while I finish school my last 3 days of school. It's been hard as it is already missing two days of school last week because Judy had been holding off on us. My moms tried to talk to her, and in the end...

Don’t you know dogs can smell fresh meat? Don’t you know there are hungry dogs in your street?” There are ravenous dogs in our streets waiting for the first sign of meat Weakness hits them like cold water in the morning reverberating their bodies shaking their bones coming alive as they pounce on the girl whose fragile beating heart echoes through the night as she walks past the dark corners of her town Little girls are warned of these rascals little girls spend their lives avoiding these scoundrels their toe curling screams frozen in their throat ready to be freed at the first sight of movement in the shadows But slim to none are told what to do when the terror hits them “Just scream until someone hears you” they cover her mouth with theirs They tear at her pink flesh with force that breaks cement as their shred her clothing reducing her to her feeble nakedness Ripping her cross from her sacred chest and pluck the promise ring from her little finger promising that if she be a good girl she’ll enjoy it “don’t cry” they say “Stop being such a bitch and take it” As those words pierce through her being wrenching her soul ...

... Hopefully the meeting will result in the sale of some of Buns’ stock and an opportunity to establish a significant line of credit with the venture capital firm. These extra funds, if Andy can secure them, should provide sufficient money to meet Buns’ growth targets for the next few years. The venture capital firm’s assessment team has asked Andy to provide a quarterly master budget for the coming year, complete with pro forma financial statements, at the meeting. They have expressed special interest in Buns’ earnings per share (EPS), cash flow from operations, and profit margins, indicating that good numbers in these areas will be essential for final approval. In typical managerial style, Andy immediately assigned the task of creating the budget to Nicole Quarterman, who has just been hired as Buns’ controller. Since this project is her first assignment, Nicole started by making appointments with each of the divisional managers to gather information for the budget and also to learn more about the company.

...A TIME IM HOLLYWOOD In the beginning of 21st century, there was a place where the young ones are being controlled by a power called “the FATHER”. That guy is really complicated to understand, sometimes he lets you go out and stay at your friend but sometimes he gets mad and fires the place where he controls, which is called HOUSE. You can never know if you really want to escape from the house, not just because of you economically need him, you know you love that guy but you cannot know if you want to live in the same house. In this piece of writing, you’ll read my journey of escaping from this hell and the results of that getaway. After this journey is finished, nothing is going to be the same. The Father was “the Architect” of the house and system of my life, but hope was with me and I, I let the force be with me. If I took the blue pill, the story would end. I’d wake up in my bed and continue to live like a slave, but I took the red pill, to fight for my independence, to fire my ropes. That afternoon, I arrived next to the Father, I just wanted him to let me go out for one night, and I just said him: Father, please give me my freedom for one night. He asked me: What will you use your freedom for, are you going to study and bring me higher grades? I stopped and said: No, father. He asked: So what you’re gonna do? Save the world? Then something exploded in my heart like something. I said: No daddy, I’m gonna smoke, listen to music, and at the end of the night, after I make out...

However, as one door swings open, another shall shut, Closing behind of what was left to come undone, Revealing after all that he truly was, Only the accomplis. Not apart of that man, But by any other name he‘d still Never be accepted, Only judged by what was in front, Not what was truly divine?” 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy. Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What is in a name? That which we call a rose . By any other name would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title.

...Dirty Dancing ENG225: Introduction to Film Instructor: Michael O'Donnell August 27, 2012 DIRTY DANCING Dirty Dancing came out in 1987 and they didn’t have the technology they do today to make it fancy, but they didn’t need to. It was supposed to show the transition of a girl becoming a woman by falling in love with someone no one saw as her equal, according to society. Although the movie was made 25 years ago, it still brings a good message to the audiences that watch it. It has become a classic movie that no amount of technology could change. It takes so much to make a movie, and no one realizes it, but in this paper, it’s going to analyze what made Dirty Dancing become such a classic movie. Storytelling The narrative structure of the movie is told from Frances ‘Baby’ Houseman’s point of view as it was the summer she fell in love. The storytelling in Dirty Dancing is told in chronological order because she sees the dancers, wants to be one, then the female dancing lead, Penny Johnson, became pregnant. Baby fills in for her and Johnny teaches her dance in her place. The story takes place at Kellerman’s country club where she goes on vacation for the summer with her family. The conflict in the story is that Baby comes from a respectable family and falls in love with Johnny, the dance teacher, and Baby’s father does not like Johnny because he believed that Johnny got Penny pregnant and then moved on to be with his daughter. The conflict is resolved when Robbie, the man...

...controversial issue that we have been facing for several years many are in favor of it and others against it. I would like to make a change and give out enough information to those who see immigrants as criminals when in reality they are normal human beings that are in search of the “American Dream.” A change must be made, a opportunity must be offered, and a life must be changed this is what I want for each and one of these individuals who leave their home countries and families in order to pursuit better life conditions. What is the “American Dream?” Many may have the same question but few may know the true meaning behind it. I had the great opportunity to interview a man who’s name is Juan who recently emigrated into the U.S from Mexico I asked him what does the “American Dream” mean to him? He Answered…“The American Dream is a dream many of us see very hard to reach, day after day we struggle with our everyday life not knowing whether we will earn enough money to set food on our table and not being able to sleep at night simply thinking of what we can do and how we will reach our needs. Mexico is facing a lot of violence the streets aren’t safe anymore I thanked god everyday for giving me another day of life because once you stepped out of your house you didn’t know whether you would come back or not. There is a difference between our needs and wants. I wont lie there are many things I wish I could have but the job I had did not give me enough...

This is how i learned that people aren't what they always seem to be. “ I got fired everyone, Mr young fired me!” “Wait what,” I thought. “He got fired.” i thought to myself again when i saw everyone looking disappointed and depressed and i knew exactly what had happen. “It was because of me” i whispered under my breath.

...means they have different interests. . . I was married to a guy who lacked intelligence (hmmm, what does that say about mine? Ha ha ha). It was frustrating to say the least because I had to converse with him on his level which was extremely hard to do. I was the smarter one, so I had the burden of managing everything in our lives from finances to housekeeping. Conversation was dull and limited. I can't describe him any better than by anecdote: -One day he came home looking very frustrated and I asked him what was wrong. He was perplexed over a joke a co-worker had told him. Joke: A guy walks into a bar Punchline: Ouch! He didn't get it and I spent the better part of 30 minutes trying to explain it to him. -His view of income tax/home buying. We were in a situation where we were losing the annual equivalent of my take home pay to income tax. Our rent was significantly more than what we would be paying if we bought a starter house or condo. I did the numbers and buying looked good and we qualified for a mortgage. "Why do we have to buy a house? I don't see why we should worry about the government taking our money, after all, they do good things with it, right?" I am not joking. This is almost exactly what he said. My mouth was agape. I filed for divorce soon after that conversation. And if he did something dumb, guess who got to clean up his mess? Yes, yes, yes, it is VERY important in a relationship. To the second part of the question: I have to say...
