Short Story- First Day As I run, trying desperately not to be late, my heart was pumping. It’s my first day at my new school and already I’m 5 minutes late, wondering what will the teacher say and, more importantly, what my new class will think of me. I run as hard as I can, not caring about my bag rubbing on my shoulders. I run as hard and as fast as I can trying not to be too late. As I approach the stairs, I run up, jump the three steps, burst through the door into the empty corridors
The Doll In My Closet Have you ever seen a movie that left a lasting impression on your life? From the moment I saw the movie Chucky my life changed forever. At the time, I was nearly nine but after watching the movie I was instantly terrified of dolls. Dolls are one of the scariest toys a kid could have and when you watch a movie like Chucky you can see why this would be true. I learned that night that it’s better to ask what a movie is about before you agree to watch it. I remember being woken
For one of my full lesson that I did during internship, I created a live lesson for FLVS. The lesson was based on one of the lesson that the honors students had to complete for the course. The live lesson learning goals were that that students would be able to: describe the organization of George Orwell’s essay “Shooting an Elephant;” describe the sentiments of George Orwell toward the British Empire; and use questioning to identify the historical context and theme of a text. Through the live lesson
feeling. The game didn’t start for another hour, but my coach had wanted the team to get there early so we could do warm up drills. On the bus ride to the stadium I kept to myself just listening to music trying to get in the zone. My team was going against the best team in our division. This game was all about redemption; we had lost to this team the year before, and it ruined our chances of qualifying for state. To some people it was just a game, but to my team and I it was the modern day World War 2.
recently been thinking about where I was a year ago and how different my life has been because of you. A year ago, I had never been on a date, I had never kissed a boy, and I had never been in love. Three hundred and sixty-five days later, I have experienced all three. You have brought light to my dark days. One of my favorite memories from this year was actually, our second date at Burgess Falls. I was so nervous because I was not sure if it was going to be as good as our first date. (I mean you had
the more mesmerising she became. “Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower and stole my heart away complete.” In a way, I think that the poet is trying to convince us that love is capable at first sight. He uses clever words and phrasing to make sure we are convinced. Still in the first stanza, he describes how the sighed of this woman froze him in his tracks. His muscles tensed, and his face lost colour. “My face turned pale as deadly pale, my legs refused to walk away.” Love drew
“Here let me show you how its done brother” Cole said to Oliver as he leaned over me and snatched the paint from his hands. Sitting down in his seat Cole started to tug and pull on the lid, you could see it start to come loose. Then as if it all happened in slow motion the lid made aloud pop as Coles hold on the paint can loosened and slipped out of his grip making a direct arc toward a large bulky guy with black hair in a school letter man jacket. Jack McCown, Oliver told me of him, he is the son
but make sure to beat the girl in front of you.” Coach Sam commands with a competitive gleam in her eye. I look down and my legs are shaking like it’s my first cross-country race, and I haven’t run dozens of them before. The competitive aspect of running is what I hate most; it’s been a long time since I’ve run just for fun. Every race makes me feel emptier inside as the competition increases, and lately I’ve even been thinking about quitting the team. “Tricia Louise.” I look over and my parents
for the game. Taking my time with everything and making sure everything is perfect, from every single strand of hair being in the right place to making sure there are no wrinkles in my uniform. As I look at the clock, it says 5:45, I better hurry up because I have to be at the game at 6, and I still have to pick up your friend. I hurry out the door and speed down the road. As I race down the road, I'm looking everywhere to make sure there's not a cop anywhere. I finally get to my friend's house and
Scary Story I sat up, my feet were bare and my clothes were damp from the cold moist air. I looked down at my watch it’s halloween day. It’s five minutes after midnight. I can’t see anything, but my glowing watch and the dark air. The movement made my body ache. I felt as if I ran a marathon. I tried to regain my memory, but I couldn’t. I found myself in an unknown place for an unknown reason. I began to get up and walk. My hands are following a wall, but there are no windows. I try to tell
tears were streaming down my face. "I'm sure you still love me. We can work things out. Just, please, stay with me," I sobbed out as I fell onto my knees. "I've tried to, but I just don't love you. I'm sorry, Helicia, but we can still be friends," Logan said, walking away from me. This was the time that the skies decided to open, pouring rain down. I couldn't discern whether it was tears or rain droplets that were streaming down my face. All I knew was that, like my heart, our relationship was
have been on many trips in my life, but one has stood out to me and I am sure you will understand why after you hear about it. The start of the day was just like any other, wake up, go to school, come home from school, but then the ned was different. I was in fourth grade and after dinner my parents surprised my brother and I with a trip to Alaska! It would be a cruise, the first ever cruise I would be on. When my mom and dad told me about this trip a smile popped on my face and I jumped a little as

The only thought that was running through my head was “I’m not going to make it out of here alive.” Eight hours earlier: “Good morning squad” How is all of you doing this lovely Saturday morning?” “Crappy” says Baily. “Well that’s just amazing” I say with sarcasm. “Why are we up so early?” Says Preston.
When I think of the LGBTQ community I will say that the one that I have the least understanding of is the transgender community. I have researched and watched videos but they only got me so far with the answered I seek. I needed to be able to have face to face conversation with someone to help me. Having Mae come talk to us was an answer to a prayer. She answered so many of the questions that I had and gave me insight that I would have never had if not for having the chance to talk to her. With everything
I feel a jolt and come to my senses in a small box, my mouth sucking in air, my mind immediately running a list of what might have happened. Words. I know these words, somehow, although my mind has never spoken any of them before. I know definitions, I know context, I know grammar and syntax. These words dance in my head, in the dark and quiet of this box. Box. Noun. A rigid typically rectangular container with or without a cover. An open cargo container of a vehicle. Coffin. Am I in a coffin? I
graders were laughing hysterically like hyenas and pointing their bright flash lights directly at August’s face. From then on, I knew whatever was coming next would not be good. We were in the forest at night and it was pitch black, I could barely see anything. They started to insult Auggie and make fun of his deformed face. This annoyed me but I knew I could not take on the sinewy boys alone. Sure August was there, but he was not strong enough to fight them either. To avoid any conflict, I tried to
morning to the sounds of banging pots and pans and I knew it was no one other than my brother up making breakfast. Daylight saving had just occured so the sun was starting to shine its rays earlier than normal. Guessing by how bright my room was lit up by the sun's natural light, I would say it was around 7:00 a.m. Laying in my bed contemplating on whether or not I want to get up to start my day or tell my boss I can't make it into work so I can relax a little longer, not going in seemed like the most

room. This was definitely a tragic day that I will not soon forget. I have always been cautious about the safety of my children, taking every step to be sure I do what I can to keep them out of harm's way. Unfortunately, on this day, I did everything I could and it still did not make a difference. I left my house that morning feeling happy and refreshed from my morning shower. My son, Adrian, was only three years old and he was excited to go to the store on this particular morning. I strapped
magnificently , and kicked the girl across the face, knocking her out. The crowd counted to 3 and that was it she won. Her sweet honey silk voice echoed through the room as he said her name. I couldn't help but look up at her. I wince when I see her beautiful face is now bruised on the right side of her cheek and below her chin. She doesn't show she's in any pain however when she screamed for her winning pain showed clear on her face. After taking a couple of swings
