She lifted her free hand, gave a little nod, turned around, and walked out of the doctor's office. Then her slow step began on the stairs, going down. When she returned to the street it had begun to get dark and Phoenix knew she must try to hurry or her grandson would be scared. "I don'...

I am now 15 almost 16 and I can recall being much of a different person a few years ago. Life a few years ago sure was better. Everything used to run smoother and people were rarely sad, but that was when I had my grandpa, he was a good man and a pastor at that. Everyone loved him; he was always ...

Senioritis I have it so bad I didn't even start writing this article until the day before it was due. It's obvious that most of the Senior class has it by how little we got done for Homecoming. School has only been going for about two months and I am already thinking about where...

I first started riding BMX around the age five. First I rode just for fun but now it changed in to a passion. Not only do I love to ride but it keeps me out of trouble as well. Also, it keeps me in shape and the girls like it too. There is a quote on my bike that states, "the time is now.ride...

An experience never to be forgotten. Everyday, we do hundreds of things in our daily lives that stay in our minds. Some things will remain in our memory for a short period of time, in comparison to other things that will stay with us for ever. Ten years ago I had a near death experience as I al...

Here's a classic small-town scene: Most of the young people have left, one mostly-empty church and one gossipy, infrequent newspaper remain, most people keep to their own increasingly harder lives, change and strangers come and go and are borne with a little more loss. Nobody can save a town like ...

The Chapter on "Myths" is by far the most intriguing subject we have covered. I find it so interesting because myths are what shape our culture. From the time that we are little children we are told stories of mythical people and creatures in order to teach us lessons. As adults, we learn ...

The story "Greasy Lake" written by T. Coraghessan Boyle had a special impact on me personally. I could relate to the characters and their rebel without a cause attitude. I was 19, thought I was bad, and there was nothing in the world that could stop me. Unfortunately I had a sobering inc...

I have been working on a scene from The Dining Room by A. R. Gurney. This play is a compilation of different scenes that make up one play.

Most people think that watching seven and eight-year-olds play basketball is boring, but it is one of the most exciting games to watch.

While attending Albany State University, I have had experience like no other. I've had some great ups and some bad downs. The whole feeling of being on my own and semi-self dependent, is a big step for me. This is a major responsibility in my life. I like all of my teachers this semester. ...

It took me sometime to prepare this speech because I really wanted to speak from my heart. At first I felt that if I amused you I would be satisfied that it was a good speech. But then something happened and I felt the realness of it. What I'm going to talk to you about is something that is in...

The phone began a ringing In the shadowy morning light Deep in my throat I knew something terrible Was in sight Sit yourself down And try to be calm You dear friend Ruthie killed last night Is gone I put the phone down And fell to the floor Thinking of her body Not yet cold at the ...

Many people do not realize who or what they are until they are told so or something big happens in their lives. It was the same in my case. I grew up in a very diverse family. My mom is of white descent and my dad is of black descent. Growing up, I never really looked at what race I was and what...

There's no way to describe the feeling of helplessness. Since I was a little girl, I can remember my mothers' illness. I can remember her playing with us, regardless of how much pain she was in, just because she cared that much. Now I'm eighteen, and the same woman still pushes...

The feeling of going to a movie theater is great. It's like a relaxation to the brain. You walk in, sit down, and concentrate on nothing except the movie you are about to see. Even better is the feeling of walking out of the theater and thinking about how the movie you just saw relates to your ...

That night, when I lay in bed, a lot of scenes drifted before my eyes. I still seemed to be floating and floating in the water. It was the first time I felt so free and light... I'm always a timid little girl. To be frank, I'm not versatile at all. I don't know how to play any instr...
