I have witnessed traumatizing events, dying men, being shot, and I went behind enemy lines 11 separate times, all for my beloved country, yet I’m branded AWOL and equated to a coward! I served the Union Army valiantly and gave it my all for 4 entire years. My hard work and dedication were immense, I took on various jobs throughout the four years. Furthermore, I served as a nurse to aid all the wounded, I was a skilled courier and a spy.

Countless times, I was nearly killed, but I did not care because I yearned for danger and a way to contribute during the war. I, Franklin Thompson, believe I should be reinstated

Ham spun and slammed his heel down on the snake. Dinah cried out as if she were in pain and the big man took a step back.

He looked at the snake stamped against the packed earth.

9/29 It all started when the Jensens put their pumpkins out on their front porch. They decided to do it a whole month early, they put them out in September. The Jensens just moved from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and are never outside. The Jensens have two kids, a boy in my sixth grade class, and a girl in the tenth grade. The boy in my grade is named James Mason Jensen, and his older sister is Jessie Morgan Jensen. I hope they are not as weird as the last people who lived in their house- the Cullenders.

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.

Hadley Jane Harper awoke from her failed pursuit at getting a satisfying night's sleep at 2:43 am. The red veins in her eyes were clear enough for anyone to spot as she reached for her purple glass that, at one point, was almost overflowing with ice cold water, but by now was a lukewarm temperature. With a fleeting look at her opened Advanced Psychology book spread across the floor along with what could have been hundreds of papers, Hadley turned to her goldfish, Axel and sighed. “Ugh! Am I ever going to finish this nonsense?” A single bubble came up from Axel’s mouth in response to the ridiculous question. “You’re right,” Hadley paused for a moment to take a deep breath and gather her bearings, “of course it’s possible for me to finish

Policy design of the transportation system has long used statistics of typical economic indicators of ridership to find ways where the system is in need of corrections to operate in a more effective and efficient manner. This usually is concerned with preventing congestion at peak times or removing routes on time slots that are not financially efficient, based on the numbers and frequencies of ridership. Recently, psychologists, social scientists, behavioural economists and researchers in other disciplines have been looking beyond these issues and are looking into the importance of subjective well-being (SWB), related to commuter’s evaluations of their quality of life in addition to typical economic indicators to discover what previous

I’ve been struggling for many years with state of politics in America. Although I attempt to follow Biblical commands to pray for my leaders (yes, sometimes it’s just please let their term end with no re-election), over the last decade or so I’ve felt a growing discontent with the decisions that have been made in the name of tolerance with no tolerance or allowance for conservatives (and even some extremists) who don’t agree.

It will blare at 5:23, and I will leave at 5:44. In 7 minutes, I will reach the station. At 5:51, I will grab a bagel from Hackett’s bakery, right next to the tracks. Old Nadia Dax will be there before me, as always, so it will take an extra 3 minutes than it should. She strolls up and down the rows of goods, declaring she will try something new, only to settle for a crumpet each time. What a bother.

I am seeking to obtain a Masters in Business Analytics from California State University, East bay. My purpose to join this program has grown over the time. Since my school days, my favorite subjects were Mathematics and Science, which laid the foundation for my inclination towards engineering. I qualified various entrance examinations (including CEE with State Rank 111) and was placed in 0.1% of engineering aspirants.

My affinity towards programming languages, which I started studying at high school and the field of Computer Science, motivated me to take Computer Engineering as my major in undergraduate

The door’s slim frame shakes and squeaks upon entering, a cry of happiness and sadness ready to greet you. This room is a Tardis in itself. The forever pending doom at your feet awaits for- “Wait what, OH NO!! THE FLOOR IS LAVA, QUICK GRAB A SCALPEL!! *Chucks at ground, it disintegrates* *ear piercing screeching* “MADAY MADAY WE ARE GOING DOWN!!” *Panic arises* “JUMP FOR IT, JUMP FOR YOUR LIFE!!”, oh where were we?
