He was still at the top of his class with Hanayo and participating in a few groups, but he mostly kept to himself. Even the kids that were constantly baiting him into fights couldn’t get a rise out of Elis. Hanayo took his place and they quickly stopped bothering the group.
Days were spent in comfortable silence from Elis when they were together. He’d lean against James’ broad back and listen to Hanayo try and tutor Barry. When she would get annoyed she’d switch to her native language and tutor him just to annoy the boy. At the end of the day it was James that Elis walked home with, the two living in the dorms together. It was James that was the best company Elis could find, his friend never pried or tried to get Elis to talk.
It was in the quiet nights that as the fair teen stared up at his ceiling with sleeping slipping from his grasp, that he questioned everything. Why he was still in the school?

The morning was foggy and I could see the front of my school through my window. It was a nice sight to see. I walked into the kitchen to make myself a bowl of cereal and there she was with her head down on the table. I could tell that she arrived a couple of hours ago because the tears hadn’t dried from her cheeks yet. I got myself ready gave her a kiss on her forehead and headed off to school. I had walked into class eager to see what my teacher Mrs. Padron had in store for today. Every single day there was something new to learn and there’s something about that infinite nature of learning that really appealed to me as a child. I cherished those 7 hours I spent in class the most I could and I dreaded the mere thought of having to go home where I would have to face the
Sunshine was pouring out from in between the buildings, casting shadows all around Ponyboy and the gang as they walked to Pony’s school. They were taking their time walking down the streets and for the first time they all were really seeing what was all around them. Memories were surfacing in their minds showing them what it all meant to them. With every step they took on the sidewalk they remembered a different memory as if they were walking down memory lane. Ponyboy didn’t think it was possible for him to be walking down this street for the last time as a high school student, but he had gone through the years with great grades that earned him many scholarships.
“The saddest thing in life is wasted talent,” said Lorenzo as he turned to his son “Calogero” in A Bronx Tale.

I awoke today with the light streaming into my room and hearing the birds chirping in the distance. As I regained my conscience, I smelled the mold and felt damp room conditions all around me that imprisoned me. It reminded me of what would have happened only in a nightmare. It was only yesterday that Corey, Nurse, Hale and I had gone to help the accused women. So many times I felt that I could win the battle, yet just as many times I could feel the rope slipping through my fingers.

Middle school, when that word pops up in one’s head, it’s a sudden reminder of dreadfulness, broken promises, regrets, first crushes, and last but not least, learned lessons. Another morning had brought another school day. Seeing familiar faces and teachers I just wanted to get through the day with no hassle, but that’s not always the case. At least it wasn’t for me. Making my way through the extended halls and walls that seemed to enclose upon me, I felt nothing more than like a chained prisoner. The bell rung and I remained seated in my class, encompassed by boxed, outdated computers and rusty white walls, I felt
The night air was heavy with silence. Clouds drifted across a calm sky, and a full moon shone in the distance. In a small hut on the outskirts of the valley, an old man lay in bed, awake in the peaceful slumber of the village. His breaths came in rattling gasps, his forehead burned, and his joints felt stiff with pain. He shifted on the blankets, his withered hands clenched in fists as he tried to suppress the wave of bitter memories coming to him. His life had been nothing more than work, loss, tragedy. He remembered all of his hope, his ambition, in his youth, and he smiled bitterly. No one would remember him as the man that he had once hoped he would become. Now, as his breathing became heavier and he felt himself fading on the brink of

In the 1970’s, China introduced several plans to reduce the country's birth rate and slow the population growth rate. The most prominent plan was the “one child policy.” The “one child policy,” established in 1979, meant that each couple in China was allowed to have only one child. The policy made sure that China was able to support their large population with resources such as education, housing, food, jobs, and healthcare.
In regards to CHD and CVD, statins have been noticed to improve overall patient outcomes by well over 40%. Crestor (Rosuvastatin), is a cholesterol treating medication, which cholesterol, being the most common way LDL (Low density Lipoproteins) to develop, subsequently causing CVD, or furthermore, a Myocardial infarction (STEMI) or Cardiac Arrest. Crestor improves the overall lipid profile in those with high cholesterol and high blood pressure, two precursors to causing fatal heart attacks. Crestor acts as a LDL antagonist, and subsequently increases HDL (High Density Lipoproteins) to increase blood flow through coronary artery lumens and increase overall health of the heart. My recommendation after reading this article is to read the label before use and not to be “drug dependent.” In the study, it was also proved that a placebo that was given PO (orally) to patients showed a dramatic change in there cholesterol levels. In other words, people changed a bunch of things because they thought they were getting better ex., exercise, diet, sleep, work. When those factors changed, so did their overall health. Medications should be used to those who “are in need and have went to internal sources and they may not have worked, so have resorted to external sources, ex., statins). In regards to CHD and CVD it is preventable by
