For my service on the Plunge, I first went to Our Lady’s Inn, where we talked to a woman working there, watched a video on their mission, and took a tour of the building. I then went to Grace Hill Preschool, where two girls and I helped out in a classroom. At Grace Hill we did a number of tasks including, helping them follow along in a book being read to them, playing on the playground and teaching and singing songs about daily tasks, such as tying their shoes, or packing their backpack. We finished the day at St. Vincent Depaul where we heard 5 women tell their story and experiences with poverty.
Shana thought. It had been a week since her husband’s death. She had spent the week in silence reflecting on her husband, who had never been her husband. She hated him for making her life miserable, hated him for being dishonest, and hated him for his cruelty. He had made her pay for his unhappiness.
sister Caydence. Everything was fine until last year in December, our house that we lived in for most of my life had been foreclosed on. Forcing us out into the street, two weeks before Christmas. Thankfully, a lot of my family lived in the same town so we moved in with my great grandparents. The only problem was that we had to live in the garage, which was one room that my mom, step dad, little sister and me slept.
This I Believe Memoir Do you ever feel like hiding, hiding from your fears, I know I do. In this essay I’m going to tell the story in which the day I found out my parents love me and always will. Around seven years ago a boy lay mind racing about what he had just done this boy,is me. Earlier that I day I was playing catch with myself by throwing the ball into the year getting the adrenaline rush of running to the ball, until I threw it to low hitting my window and causing it to fall to pieces in front of my eyes. The worst about it was that I was home alone.
I walk over to Nora 's cozy chair, and sit down. The bottom of the chair has a slight bump, stand back up, and put my hand on the cushion. I feels hard, as if there 's something hiding underneath it. I take a chance and lift up the chair cushion, to see if there is indeed anything hiding under there. In the middle of the frame of the chair.

When thinking of the word “tourist”, one would think of a person visiting a big city to sight see and visit popular attractions. This is exactly what went through my head when thinking of a time I was a tourist, but after thinking deeper, being a tourist does not mean just visiting big cities with large, popular attractions, it also refers to visiting a place different from what you call “home”. After reading “A Small Place” by Jamacia Kincaid, I have gained a different outlook on being a tourist as well as being a native. I realized that I have been a tourist in many situations, not just when I visit large cities. I call New Orleans home and admit to thinking of myself as superior to those who live in small, less populated cities or towns.
However, the pain of these losses is always tempered with the great love she felt for each. Even though recollecting these events is difficult, Lily realizes she is “dwelling on things [she] love[s], even if a measure of tragedy is stitched into everything” (Barry 28) and that in her memories there is a “special happiness offered from the hand of sorrow” because “people [she has] loved are allowed to live again” (217). Lily’s memories, despite the many tragedies of her life, are not so weighed down by pain as to overshadow a joyful remembrance of better times. This positive and negative dichotomy of Lily’s memories is layered underneath the present time conflict of the

Home Water gushed down the cracked sidewalk into the drain, the freezing droplets raced down from the clouds above. Walking through the rows of parked cars, John looked up at the immense TV screens that over looked the congested parking lot, blaring car horns piercing his ears. Trash flooded over the disgusting rims of the cloudy gray cans. Chains of people rushed into ticket lines, each person eager than the next to get in. The sun was falling out of the sky as the temperature dropped below freezing.
The Notebook There is something that ensures uniqueness about everyone: backgrounds, talents, interests, and identities. Deep inside, a defining character which completes and gives meaning to our lives. My father once told me growing up in a large family gave one a sense of living in the real world. To me, it meant learning to make sacrifices for the greater good and being satisfied with what little I was given. To say in the least, I did not feel special and would cry myself to sleep in the self-induced loneliness of my bed, praying with all my might that I would wake up one morning, an only child.
Haman: As I was walking down the palace road, Asense of pleasure brought a smile to my face as people bowed down to me. More and more people bowed down. Except for this one blithering idiot who would not bow. This numb headed chap was named Mordecai.
You were my person and I thought I would spend the rest of my life with you. You were so important to me. I would do anything to spend forever on Earth with you, but everything changed in the blink of an eye.

Short Story July 15th: I just got done with training at my local rink, it sucks. Three days a week I get the wonderful opportunity to get up at 5:30, and bike to the rink a couple of miles away. Which is my favorite thing to do in the morning….I’m just kidding. When I get there I have to warm up by sprinting, and stretching for 15 minutes. Next I have to go in the weight room for an hour or so, and lift weights.
