TJ Olmsted sprinted out of the tunnel. A brisk autumn breeze had found its way into the stadium. TJ took his helmet off and stood there, letting the wind comb through his dark hair. The fresh Utah air filled his lungs. He could smell the grass, the popcorn, the hot dogs. Listening to the roar of the crowd, TJ grinned. There's no day like game day. He thought. Suddenly a voice broke into TJ’s thoughts. A loud one. “What’re you doin Olmsted!” Startled, TJ spun around. His coach was staring at him with a confused expression on his face. TJ was a big guy. He could bench his own weight and he once took down Rob Gronkowski at the three yard line to win a playoff game. Even so, that man scared TJ to death. He knew better than to get on coach's
The game started and the sun started to come out. The warm rays shined on my side of the stadium, so it got a little warmer. At halftime, I got up to get some food. I got pepsi, pretzels, and skittles. The warm salty pretzels, the sugary skittles,and the ice cold pepsi tasted so good when I was starving.
As I sat in my comfy theater seat, watching many people file into the Vashon Theater, I pondered the implications of this Super Bowl game. This was the most important game for any sports franchise that had any significance to me. It almost made me shiver, thinking about the joy and celebration that would occur if the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. I listened to the excited chatter all around me, impatient for the game to start, having never experienced an atmosphere so ecstatic, so energetic, so euphoric for a sporting event.
In chapter two of A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Woolf introduces the reader to the uncomfortable conditions existing between men and women during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Woolf’s character, Mary Beton, surveys books about women at the British Museum and discovers that nearly all of them are written by men. What’s more, the books that she does find express negative sentiments about women, leading Beton to believe that men are expressing “anger that had gone underground and mixed itself with all kinds of other emotions” (32). She links this repressed anger to man’s need to feel superior over women, and, wondering how and why men have cause to be angry with the female sex, she has every right to be angry with men.
It is a Tuesday night in San Marcos Texas, it is a bit chilly outside as I walk up and down the square looking for a section of bars I can observe. As I walked East on Hopkins street I stumbled upon two bars, Harpers Brick Oven Sports Pub and The Porch. Both bars were packed with what looked like a mix of native San Marcos residents, and college students. These two bars shed light on what the square is; a welcoming place with a carefree atmosphere for all people who call San Marcos home to enjoy.
Doing so establishes a sense of admiration and curiosity that otherwise would have been lost in the excitement and clamor of the crowd. This, in turn, allows Faulkner and the readers of this essay to resist being swept up from the frantic crowd and instead focus on the beauty of the game.
Pleasant Corners Public School, opened in 1971, It is a giant brick building, you can't miss it if you are speeding down highway 34, it's like a needle in a haystack, except the needle is 500 000 thousand times bigger. Every morning at 9:05 the irritating bell rings, this is when we get off the bus, get our heavy books and get to our classes. We pull out our blue chairs and we start working on what is shown on the smart board. Most of the things I know to this day like, math, history and writing, I learned here at P.C.P.S. Along with those subjects, I learned how to speak English after I could speak some minor English I met my best friends.
During the first session with the client we went over the consent form and I asked them if there were any questions about it, which they had only one to make sure that it was not being show to the entire class, once answered they signed the form. I think that when I make my own form I will have a better understanding of how to explain the reason behind it and also better explain what it is form. After the form was signed I conducted and interview with the client.
I muttered those words at a volume that could only be heard by my own ears. The waiting room was torture, and the waiting was even more torturous. Two fake, and very plastic looking plants sat in the corner, shining abnormally in the harsh lighting. My palms were sweaty from anxiety and the unbearable heat that seemed to encase the room. My mom sat at the couch opposite of me, her reading glasses illuminated from the glow of her cell phone. Music played softly from the empty front desk that sat behind a wooden baby gate. It wasn’t that I expected a therapist’s waiting room to look like. I expected obnoxiously cheerful posters telling me to keep on living and to be healthy. I arrived in that room with an attitude that could put what I felt boiling over inside me to shame.
During my first night in the station, I was taken to an interrogation room by three agents. In the room, I was seated and handcuffed, and then interrogated and questioned about which Oromo party I support. “ I know nothing and I have no connection or any involvement with any party in the country . I am a peaceful civilian and a national team Boxer.” , was my response.
The day was humid, hot, the type of day in which you break a sweat just by standing in one spot. Our team was accustomed to playing in the cold weather that playing on this day felt as if we were playing in an inferno.
I was caught in a state of distress. Running low on time,I had to make a decision quickly; a decision that would play a pivotal point in my life. This is an aggravating moment every highschooler endures: the college application process.
My room is my own little world to dream and write what I feel and what I know about the world. The way it's set up, it's like to let anybody get inspired in their writing here in my room. Most of my things in my room are here to help me with my writing, and have all the tools needed to write a good paper. I also use my room to hang out and have fun when my friends come over. My writing environment is set up to help me get inspired.
Amidst a long, desiccated tunnel, that leads from the aesthetic outside world, into the excruciating world, where time stands still. A blinding hallway that is like an entrance to an insane asylum, with pictures and flyers drenching the hallway walls. The smooth tile blanched my eyes, with their reflexive capabilities. The effete doors looking like windows into the abyss. The ephemeral thumping causes the metal to rattle. Entering through the growling doors, and ordinarily seeing all those desks, just like entering in on a colossal crowd. In the gargantuan, white room, away from all living things, I took a monumental exam that would guide the rest of my mathematical life.
It was two days until the first game of my last high school football season. My team and I were going to play Bayfield, a battle we had persistently prepared for since the last game of our junior year. The sun was beating on my pads, radiating the heat to make practice seem even worse. I was exhausted and looking forward to the end of my last sweat poring practice for the week. Our team was repetitively executing plays to make sure they were like second nature to us on Friday.
Kick Off, and every fan was full of hope and optimism. It was a warm
