... like The Little Engine that could and say, “I think I can.” Sacrificing to help others, she never put her own personal goals out of reach. While working two jobs, she has received her Bachelor of Science degree in counseling from Oakwood College and is just two semesters away from achieving one of her highest goals, which is to receive her Masters degree in Rehab Counseling. She continues to help out in her work force and even finds time to attend my extracurricular activities. My mom is an outstanding woman and is the one I look up to. Most people say that they want to be like Mike, but not me. I say, “I want to be like Diane.” She inspires me to ...
... Friday night. We went to the movies first, and then we went to Vinnie Vicci's Italian restaurant. The date was perfect and the person I was with made the date seem like Heaven. We dated non-exclusively for about one month. On our one month anniversary, I gave her my letter jacket which I earned playing varsity football. And while I did that, I asked her to date exclusively. She answered my question so fast I didn't realize that she said yes. We started going out together almost every weekend and talked on the phone all night and walked with each other to class everyday, and I gave her a ride to and from school everyday. We had been going out for about 3 months. Th ...
... on a beach. The air smells so luscious and full of moisture, it was as if I could drink the air. As the tangle of bushes and vines grew thicker I had to withdraw my sword and cut my way through. The sword caught what little light that had somehow found its way through the trees and it danced on the nearby trees. It made a swish as it flew through the air. When it hit the brush the sword vibrated through my hand and the brush gave way to the knife and allowed me to pass through. A tiny light became clearer to me and I headed toward it. The bugs became thicker and there were mosquitoes all around and it was getting harder to take a breath without getting one i ...
... said. Her mind was obviously made up, she went storming up the tunnel and disappeared. Ash sat there a couple of minutes then decided to follow her. "Misty wait up!" he yelled. Ash wasn't prepared for what awaited him, Misty's home town of Cerulean City was practically destroyed. The Gym was on fire and Rocket Troops were already setting up a garrison. Ash could here Misty commanding her Pokemon not far away, he followed the voice and found Misty battling a Rocket Troop. The Troop was a big muscular man with an assault rifle slung over his shoulder and a riot helmet covering his features. The huge "R" on his chest sickened Ash to look at, so he concentrat ...
... way to my friends girlfriends house. Taking turns doing donuts with his car in the sand we passed away about an hour. I needed even more of a rush so I hoped on top of the car, held onto the roof, and told my friend to take off. After exiting the sand pit we flew off down the piper pond road going about 70. My eyes and face were getting wind burnt so I tapped on the wind sheild for him to slow down. After coming to a stop I told him he had to try it so again we sped off but this time he was the one flapping in the wind. When we pulled into his girlfriends house he jumped off the car laughing and rubbing his windburnt face. Still we hadn't enough excitement s ...
... is a big line out front”. The employee said, “there are a lot of customer behind you so if you would please go up to the front register we would appreciate it”. After arguing for a while the coutomer left. Then someone dropped a case of Slim Fast that bangs agents the floor. The brown liquid was poring out of the box like a river and some started to spray everywhere. Immediately they paged someone from the cleaning department. While the cleaning person was on it was to clean up the spill; an employee put an orange hazard sign on top of it. To the left there was a person putting away stock on the shelf. The floor was white and the cart was silver. ...
... enough for them both. "Do you want to come with me to the movies tomorrow, Kelly ?" Dan asks. "Yes, sure, why not ?" "Well I better get going," Dan seas and stands up. "I'll see you tomorrow then Kelly." "Yes, I'll see you. Bye." "Bye, everybody." Dan walks home, and regrets that he had broken up with Kelly that time. Maybe he could ask her again? Yes, he was going to ask her again tomorrow. He took a shower and went to bed. When he was laying there, he taught about all the good times he and Kelly had had together. He hoped that Kelly still loved him. He felled asleep fast and he woke up early in the morning thinking about tonight. He had a smile all ...
... to help them determine the cause of death. As if the four-inch gash on the victim's throat wasn't clue enough as to what killed him. Jack separated the crowd with his corpulent body and gazed down at the victim. He looked around the room to determine the possible motive for this killing. "Does the victim have a name?", asked Jack to no one in particular. "The apartment was rented to a Reid Jennings," said one of the uniformed officers. "The manager has identified the body." Wally was interviewing a short, fat lady in a housedress just outside the apartment door. Over by the window was a bloody butcher knife with a wooden handle. "Is t ...
... after that I thought that I would score high on the test. I ended up getting a little lower then I expected. Then, I heard that there would be a retest so I felt no need to study hard but to only review what I have learned. During a test, I have many suggestions to my classmates. First the best way to get a good result is to study until you are capable of remembering what you have studied. Then, in the morning, I always do a review just to remember more. Sometimes, I just do a small review in homeroom. Some other times I would come early to study. When I get the test, one of the best ways to do better is to read the test over about 2 times. That alwa ...
... and aren't as easy to talk about with others. Even though this is true it does help the person feel better to talk about their problems whether they realize it at first or not. Changes in life like these can change you both physically and mentally for the rest of your life depending on the severity of the situation. In early August of `96 my life at home became a living nightmare. I don't really know what it was that started this thing between me and my parents but I do remember that they were always doing anything they could to just annoy me. I doubt this was intentional but at the time it seemed that it was. They would find any excuse to yell or blame me ...
