She spoke up “I do not know what you are talking about, this is just an ordinary necklace I received long ago,” with this, the man grabbed her hand and insisted she went with him. She pulled hand away and refused to go anywhere with someone she just met, “Fine”, he started, “you leave me no choice”, he said with what seemed like perfidiousness, Bertha glanced at him confused, she saw him waving his hands, then out of nowhere a small light built up in between his hands. The next thing she knew her vision went black and she fell to the floor.

My left hand clasped her right hand lightly. The day I had dreamed of my whole life had finally arrived, though much sooner than I had expected, and now I stood beside a beautiful woman, far too beautiful for I, but her hand felt cold, unlike the fire kindling beside us. She stopped and poured the last of the rice in the flame; I felt it grow an inch shorter. She reached up to grab my hand and we circled the table one last time, seven more steps, each for a vow I wasn’t sure I wanted to keep, but I knew I couldn’t back out now for fear of dishonoring my family.

Only 38% of girls who have a child before the age of eighteen get a high school diploma. Thankfully with my motivation and support I was on the positive side of this statistic. Even though I have come a long way within the past year, it has been a year full of challenges and emotions. Within two days I found out that I was expecting a baby, I went into shock because of the life adjustment that I would have to make, and I also built the strength up to tell my mom about the pregnancy.

September 26...picture day. Everyone in Hoofer Middle School was dressed up for their picture...the picture that would be in the yearbook forever.

"The Longest Day" was a mammoth project dramatizing D-day, the Allied invasion of France. It was nearly three hours in length and with an enormous ensemble cast, all playing supporting roles. The production was very conscientious about realism, the actors were always of the same nationality as their characters, and spoke in their native languages, leading to a lot of subtitles translating French and German dialogue. Although the movie was historically correct, it was also meant to be a blockbuster by starring John Wane, Robert Mitchum, Sean Connery and Henry Fonda. But The American role in the invasion is not exaggerated, and the German soldiers and officers are not portrayed as brutal stereotypes.

“Instead of having a bad day, be thankful because you have the day” – during our lifetime each of us has probably seen this phrase or at least some variations of it, whether shared by friend on Facebook or while reading one of those inspirational articles.

Her sad but warm hazel eyes start to tear up; still, it is hard to believe that she experienced such an event.

February 2, 2015 is a day I will never forget. It wasn’t supposed to be a day that was going to have so much meaning to me but sadly it is. This event had both negative effects and in the long term, only a few positive effects. It was just an average day at school, getting by in my classes and going to gym class which is where it all happened. My class was playing field hockey and our of nowhere, a guy (I won’t mention a name) came up out of no where while not paying attention and ran into me. He didn’t mean to but he is just one of those people who I feel has no common sense at times and doesn’t pay attention but I do not blame him for it today. I fell straight on my back on the hard, wooden gym floor, hitting the back of my head giving me a major concussion.

There are good days and bad days but sometimes bad more than good. When we focus on the bad days that takes away the positive things in life. I have the world's best parents all they want to see me do is succeed but I have let them down. It makes me mad when I let my parents down because I know I could do better but I do not.

The sun was shining through her blinds. The birds were whistling a beautiful tune. Not one white fluff of a cloud was spotted in the baby blue sky. The lawn was as perfectly cut as a baseball field and the flowers were blooming. It was just like any other typical spring day. Parents are going to work kissing their children goodbye. Neighbors saying good morning and reading the paper. It was the perfect day. But something was not right. This day was a little too perfect.

The seven words that I despised hearing, especially as a kid, and not having spoken a word in English with the exception of basic introductions. The day that changed my life was when I was eight-years old, my parents said in the most optimistic tone that.“We are moving to the United States!” These words were my greatest undoing and the thought of leaving never crossed my mind ever. I remember being speechless and wanting to cry, but could not bring myself to. I wanted to stay in Tokyo, Japan in the dark-wooden, two story house with tatami floors, and the sliding doors that were connected to each room, because it held the most precious memories of hide-and-go-seek to playing sumo matches against my cousins. However, my older sister bawled and begged my parents. To let us stay in Japan and that they could go. But my parents wanted all of us to stick together because family sticks together no matter what for the good in the worst of times. I remember trying to stay strong, just like Anpanman even though deep down I wanted to throw a fit because I hated change.

Everyone needs to get a good night’s rest the day prior to the event. I suggest the committee meet for coffee or breakfast. That time can be used as refresher and review of tasks completed and things that need to be done that day. On the way to the venue I suggest you pick up a simple “thank you” card. This can be given to the manager of the venue, or left with an employee to forward to him.
