took off my monitor. In school, I beat up Stilson. This afternoon we played buggers and astronauts. Last night, he told me that he was sorry. Last night, Peter told me that he loved me. When they took off my monitor, all I remember was a really bad pain at the back of my neck and not being able to comprehend what the nurses were saying. I also remember the gray ceiling, the pattern of white and black tiles on the floor, and the glass door, because that’s what I had to stare at for an hour after

4/1/12 Dear Diary~ July 23, 1942 Today was a very intense day for me. I can't begin to explain the situation I was put into.

But I always wanted to become more than just a housewife, I want to peruse a career that my daughter will know that not only me are the ones who become somebody. My dream

Brothers in a Brutal Bind I was dead silent, the sounds of sirens grew louder and louder as police cars got closer and closer. My friends and I had been ill-advised enough to vandalize the local middle school which had expelled Clark, DeVante, and I. We wanted to show how we felt about all the rules and restrictions of school. Until, all of a sudden, right as I started to shake my can, a security guard walked out of the office and stared right into my eyes. We ran! Over tables, through classrooms

breeze. Sitting in Sherwood Park, I silently watched the carefree, cheery families happy picnic on the soft green grass. Some little boys were also attempting to fly a kite: failing badly. The adults were laughing softly watching them. A small smile spread across my face. Everyone was so happy and peaceful. Except for me. I had been here for almost 1 hour waiting for my best friend, Chloe to show up. We were supposed to go shopping. It was taking her forever. I was now starting to have doubts that

here is the cold hard truth, these obsessive behaviors during a break up are NORMAL! So why are we still calling people we used to love crazy? Seriously, why? Stop it. You know you’ve all crept on your ex just to make sure you are doing better than they are, so don’t pretend like you are above it. But seriously, there are psychological facts that back up the “crazy” nature that comes with a breakup, and here are some of my reasons I don’t believe in the term crazy ex-girlfriend, considering pretty

“Shooting an Elephant” Discussion/Activity 1) The first sentence of this essay is "In Moulmein, in lower Burma, I was hated by large numbers of people- the only time in my life that I have been important enough for this to happen to me."

101 I personally never took reading or writing seriously when I was a kid. I am very fortunate to have my family because they have always pushed me to learn to read and write. Truthfully speaking I don’t think I would have gotten where I am if it wasn’t for my family. In truth, reading and writing are one of the best skills that you can obtain, it is a skill that most of us learn at a young age, and it is also one of the greatest and most helpful tools that will make our lives much easier. I remember

were never oppressed in my house as I was growing up. Not only was it openly discussed in my home, but I think it was sort of embraced in a way. This is most likely due to my religious background. My family is Jewish and raised me as so; therefore pre-marital sex is really non-existent in the Jewish faith. So I think my parents wanted to teach me what was what as I was maturing, so that way I could be prepared for future experiences. B.) “Birds and the Bees”? I am not familiar with such a talk with
