As the air rushes into my lungs, it makes me feel refreshed and full of energy. The whole ride up, I stared out the window, watching each tree fly by on our way up the road. Today's mission is to look for cows and check the fences on our mountain property, Horse Mountain. My dad and I bounce along the gravel road in our old

moral to the story. Now a days I don't have someone there for me constantly saying what I should or should not do. I often find myself in situations in which I must be the one to decide if, for instance, I should go to a party or to the bars, or stay home and concentrate on the massive amounts of homework that have piled up.

This sagacious, passive, and extremely patient primate wanted to share this knowledge to others so as to stop man from destroying the world. So
only learned why they do it, but also the life they live, how it is affected, and what being a dancer is really like. I personally think the most rewarding source which I had was a girl by the name of Tiffany. Tiffany currently works at three adult bars and has been dancing for about a year now. One of my friends went to a strip club last Friday and met Tiffany. It just so happened that she was about our age and that it was her first day dancing in that club. They talked and he ended up getting her

that really caught my attention was when Clare was trying to bring up the sales of one of their bar soaps and so they started a contest. They advertised that the winning bars of soap would have a gold coin in them. This really boosted sales. It reminded me of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. In that movie, everyone went crazy to find the golden tickets. Even if people didn’t like the chocolate bars, they bought them just for the chance to win. Another part of this story that stood out to me was
