You might be from Mobile if… Mobile Bay Local If you were born and raised in Mobile there are a few things that only you may understand, and that’s ok. The rest of the country may not get why we do (or eat) certain things but that’s what makes Mobile the city it is... a place rich in culture with a side of fried oysters.

My aunt to me the greatest person in this world, one of a kind and one in a million Sometimes I know the words to say, Give thanks for all you've done, But then they fly up and away, As quickly as they come, She has the biggest heart with the most caring touch, which she shares with so many of us. How could I possibly thank you enough, The one who makes me whole, The one to whom I owe my life, The forming of my soul, Her soul is made of pure love, yet she's worth way more than gold, The one who

me, a teenager-life is hard to live. I can feel how the body changes. Many thoughts go into my mind. Many problems accurse; problems I did not have to deal with when I was 13 years old. Problems with my boyfriend and at home; that is a new task for me. It is hard to focus when these problems are in my head. To pretend to be happy at all times is difficult in the age of 13-17. All kinds of problems pop into my head and I have no idea how to handle them. For me the exams are just around the corner

writing this in efforts to appeal my academic probation. When I first started at Kaplan I was unsure about the policy and procedures. I was under the impression that as long as we viewed the seminar it would be alright I was confused to the fact you have to attend it when it is live or complete option 2 later in the block I figured out why I was receiving zeros so I went back and did option two for about 6 of the weeks. I turned them in the last day of school and my professor informed me that it should

cold fear gripped me, nausea poured over me as I felt panic entering my soul. But before I could do anything, a recollection of drunken fist was smashed on me and I could not rebel at all. I could not stop the tears in my eyes as they just flowed freely. Everything just seemed so break and hopeless to me. For the next few minutes, it was like hell, but my father soon got exhausted and left the room. I huddled at the corner of my room and keep on hoping that it was just a dream. The entire room was

the lake where my brother and I learned to swim. Although our old home was destroyed unexpectedly by a bunch of men in hats, we were adjusting well to our new place. The grass was soft and the hills were lightly capped with white snow. It was in between winter and spring, my favorite time of the year. Jimmy and I were on our way to the pasture to find hay for our beds. Suddenly, I saw a quick flash and heard a crisp crack! Oh no, not again. “Jimmy run, go home!” I screamed to my little brother

As I gave my speech to my brother on October fifth two-thousand and thirteen, his wedding day, I peered across the tent with tears in my eyes. Sitting at the bridal table, was the most breath-taking man that I have ever laid my hazel eyes on. Hair as dark as a bar of chocolate, mildly-fair skin, goofy glasses, and a wonderful smile that made me feel as though my world paused for a second. I then realized I had lost my train of thought, which is not ideal for giving a speech, especially a very important

I’ve done in my short twenty four years of life on gods beautiful green earth has led me here. Lying on the edge of this cliff, with my neck and torso over this mountain top, blood slowly flowing up my shoulder and down my neck like a stream of interconnecting rivers; one river ending at my mouth forcing me to swallow my own blood, the others getting in my eyes and going throw my gaping nostrils gasping for air, making breathing and seeing that much harder at this altitude. I have my own custom made

The Problem: The problem surrounding Mattel Inc., one of the world’s largest toy companies, is their mismanagement of international subcontractors and vendors and the production of certain toys (the manufacturing process), as well as their inability to adapt their marketing strategy or product to the constantly changing “demographic and socioeconomic trends” (Ferrell, et. all 466). This is supported by Mattel’s legal battle with Carter Bryant and MGA, their forced recall of certain toys that were
