I was born in Manhattan, before there were efforts to introduce New Yorkers to “green spaces” and “street trees.” Concrete and steel held me in their grasp; I could have walked multiple blocks without seeing the color green beyond an occasional glimpse of dead grass and limp shrubbery from a “secret garden.” There was comfort in the noise of traffic, the rumble of the subway, and the clamorous conversations.

Pete crosses toward another table. He strings a needle, becomes frustrated, and throws it to the floor. James chuckles.

When searching for the university or college that you need to apply for you should do your research. You should start your research 12-18 months in advance to give yourself the most time (and slightest anxiety). Each U.S. University and collage sets its own particular admission standards and chooses which candidates meet those standards. In this manner, you should apply independently to every university or college. Most universities in the USA encourage imminent worldwide understudies to contact their admissions office no less than one year before intending to enter that university.

It had been 30 years since Antarctica had melted and society in the mainland was beginning to break down. Buildings lay dry and burned down, except for some places which got tropical storms almost daily. Minnesota had been washed out, all the rivers flooding. The buildings lay abandoned, sinking into the swampy marsh that the state had become, along with Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa. All this had been the result of the Great Lakes spilling over into the land because of rainfall. Living here was not possible. It was where you were sent to prison from the Ocean Districts. The prisoners never came back after they were sent to the Midwestern Marshes. Along the mainland, about 200 miles out in the ocean at the most, there were tremendous

The group project that we came up with is a daytime party, called a darty that is going to take place here on campus. Within regard to our name, it was very hard to come up with a creative name that would be catchy in order for people to start spreading the word about our event. The name that we ended up coming up with was Dirty on Hoggard Lawn. Since Hoggard Lawn is the biggest lawn that we have on campus, we figured that it would be the perfect place to have activities that consist off a slip n’ slide, food and drinks, live music being sung by our Seahawkapellas or our Seabelles, inflatable slides, and many games. Some of the games during our event include cornhole and dizzy bat. There will also be man sports like football, soccer,

It really all started a few years ago. When I was about 9 years old my aunt, a police officer, explained to me an amazing program that allows people from the ages 14 to 20 get involved with law enforcement and search and rescue with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office. Of course at the time I was not even close to being eligible to join so I waited. I waited so long that the excitement wore off a bit; that was until I could finally join. Eventually it was time for me to sign up which was a long and tedious process involving background checks and paperwork getting notarized. After about 40 pages of paperwork, we had a math test, interview, and physical fitness testing. The first fitness test was no problem, we did as many pushups as we

When I was first deciding which careers I wanted to research I had been thinking

Matt Holt was always known to be reckless, it was just one of his most dominant traits, right there next to being a genius, incredibly annoying and to an extent, handsome. Even though the boy was one of the smartest people Shiro had ever met, he also managed to get himself hurt every minute or so. When the injuries weren't cuts from snipping wires or shocks from not fixing things correctly was where Shiro came in. Matt was tough, of course, and strong, but regardless there was only a certain extent of pain he could take before he needed a gentle reminder to take a break and some care from the black paladin. The two had technically been dating for a few years by this point, but with the disappearance of the technician and the complications

The development of mobile applications offers new solutions for communication among teachers, parents and students so as to expedite notifications and guarantee the receiving of the information and help school to pursue its work privately and securely, As Laura Briz-Ponce(2016) suggets.

Paint powerfully swiped across a winter white canvas, leaving the pure canvas to be tainted. The calming fragrance of paint, strong as it may be, attacked my nostrils. The dust of the attic made my mouth cotton dry, and left me tasting the scratchy musty smell. Small segments the sunlight peaks through the sole window. Black paint dripped down running off the canvas onto the easel.Each black drop, full of my own passion, and emotion. No noise littered the room except my loud thoughts screaming, and the shift of a paint brush against the rough surface of the canvas. My thoughts carried me away from the reality of painting.

Since Maywood Academy lacked clubs where students could not only express their visions and receive constructive criticism but bring them to fruition as well, I decided to create one. The Future Innovators, Visionaries, and Engineers club seeks to better the world and impact the community in positive ways by developing technological and chemical advancements.

The smell of thickening, chalk smoke weaved it's way into the damaged lungs of the soldiers. Never-ending sense of nausea spiraled, slowly suffocating you. The smoke was a killer on the loose. Rotting corpse lie frozen in time, unaware of the standpoint. A pungent smell mixed with a drop of sickening sweetness compressed waiting for your last breath. Dead rats, squelching mud and the overall sense of darkness, combined forces and created a poisonous, overpowered hurricane of death-eaters. Inescapable stench of deep, rusted iron coiled in the form of khaki, overcast, flying phantoms. The whiff of grounded moss and oxidized metal chased us soaking up into our uniforms, weighing us down. Moss, blood, smoke, death, rain, all waiting for the

Somethings in life, we find very sad. Although most of us wouldn't be alive without them. This exact feeling affected me in June of 2017, we were away from home experiencing a whole other feeling a whole other feeling, a whole other world.

That first morning, I blinked into the bright, south-of-the-ecuador sun after clambering out of the overloaded van. We had finally arrived at the ‘church site,’ although I wasn’t sure one could even use that term to describe what I saw in front of me. A large, metal roof was suspended by four metal rods over a concrete floor. The walls were made of plastic tarps strung up with twine and the ‘exclusive’ seating for the church’s guests was a collection of red plastic chairs with broken backs. The rest of the site was previously used as a dumping ground for the entire town and was littered with garbage, broken tile, and mounds of unspread mulch. The sight almost took my breath away (although maybe this was partly due to the hundred degree

Wylie was once a small country town, full of corn fields and a hand full of stores. It was a nice place to move to if you were trying to find a quiet town outside of the big city. It had your local grocery store, a nice school district, a few family run restaurants, and new developing neighborhoods. Over the past 10 years however Wylie is anything but small. The wide open fields that used to run for miles are now filled with establishments. With the population increasing at one of the fastest rates of any city in the area, you can understand why buildings seem to pop up overnight. We went from 2 grocery stores to around 10, from a very slim picking of eating establishment to rows of fast food chains for miles, even housing is growing
