My Life Is Great Right

It was the first day of school for 6th grade and I was so nervous, I was scared of my first day in middle school. My brother was acting like it was not a big dill, but it was for me, my brother would not even listen to me and when he did he said things like, shut up you little brat, or move along retard. Then I went to my mom instead and she told me things like, it will be all right, nothing to worry about, your brother will watch you he is only in 8th grade. I was calming down but I was still very nervous because I

I had lacrosse practice on the hottest day of summer. The best day was going to jump off a cliff and die. Practice was done and I was hungry for food. I got in my mom’s car and asked my mom to go somewhere and get some food. We went to Taco Bell. I finished and was ready to go home and get a shower. We were going down the road and suddenly my mom got a phone call from my aunt. As soon as my mom started to talk to my aunt she started to cry and break down. She

It happened when I was young. I was outside at my friend’s house sledding. We were taking a break when I got that phone call from my mom; she was crying. My sister was on her way to the emergency room. I started sprinting through the neighborhood towards my house. My dad was waiting with my brother in the car. My mom went with my sister in the ambulance. I was so scared that I was going to lose my sister. We got to the hospital and we were in the waiting room. It felt like days before we heard about her condition. My sister had pneumonia and mixed with her asthma she was having a hard time breathing. She had a severe attack and couldn’t breathe. If the crew from the ambulance didn’t show up the doctor said she wouldn’t have made it. I know

When I was only four years old, my life changed forever. It was the year I moved to North Carolina. My dad’s friend got him a job opportunity that he simply couldn’t give up. So, he quit his job and found a nice rental house to live in. I had moved before but I don’t remember. I moved from Indiana to North Carolina with my brother my cat and my parents. When I moved to North Carolina, I was aware of what was happening, but I never realized how different everything would be. The house we moved into we only lived in for a year, but it was a pretty hectic year.

I remember getting rushed to the hospital early in the morning. I used to think the ambulance was my own truck. I thought it was special made just for me. My asthma would keep me from playing with the other kids outside. I would have to just sit around and watch, or I would be up under my older cousins and their friends. They did not mind me being around either. My siblings and I are all three years apart, which is cool. My older brother, Aaron, is 23, my sister Deanna is 20, and I am 17! Then recently my mom had another child, named Ayden back in 2013. My mom really did not tell any embarrassing stories about me. They always talked about my

I was panicking I didn’t know what I did I thought I was in some kind of trouble, but when I got to the principal’s office, there were 2-3 police officers there waiting for me. They sat me down with a concerned look and told me some terrible news. These few words that I could never get out of my head. It’s as if there locked in a prison. They told me that my father was in an accident at first I thought that they were just talking about a car accident. I had no idea what to expect. Then they told me that my father had passed away I started balling my eyes out I didn’t know what to do. They soon drove me back to my house where I saw my brother and a few neighbors and friends. There were a few cop cars and an ambulance. I later found out that he had committed suicide. My aunt and uncle came and picked us up from my house and brought us to their house where they tried to cheer us up a bit it was my cousins birthday so we tried to have a

Imperialism is the movement of colonizing people by gaining political and economic, cultural control of other regions. There are two types of imperialism happened in different time periods which are the old and new imperialism. The old imperialism occurred between the sixteenth and the eighteenth century. It was the time when the European powers started to expand their empires through conquest and trade with other countries. After the American Revolution, it prompted the ideas of new imperialism, which focused more on Asia and Africa. The European countries wanted to expand more in order to gain more power, search for new markets, raw materials, and build a new stronger military. Imperialism has brought countries trade, naval bases, and

As a child I grew up in a home with my two parents and two older sisters. I met most developmental milestones at the appropriate age, and I did not have any major childhood illnesses. One of the earliest memories that I can recall was at age 3 or 4. I don’t recall the exact age and I haven’t asked my mother about the event, but I know it was at least before I was school age. I recall that my mother and grandmother were with me and we were standing on the side of a county road near a small bridge. There were police cars and an ambulance parked nearby with their lights flashing. My mother and grandmother were crying hysterically and this was very upsetting to me because I don’t think I had ever saw them cry like that before. The reason that they were crying was that a close friend of my grandmother had drove off the bridge in their

After she had hung up, I tried to call Lester again, but I still didn't get an answer. I prayed for Imani and hoped that she didn't lose to much blood.It seemed like every red light in town caught us. I was panicking, and at one point I wanted to get out of the car and try to run to my mother's house. I begged for the light to turn green so we could go but as soon as it did an ambulance shot through from the opposite direction with the lights flashing.

When I was four years old, I wasn’t paying attention to my parents and as they were walking into a store, they left me behind. I remember really wanting a Barbie bicycle and I had been distracted. I was then left alone inside of Rockingham Mall and since I was only four, I didn’t know what to do. At first, I started panicking and looking around the mall. I remember seeing a lot of people walking by and it was a really busy day. So then I started to cry and I walked around the mall all by myself. I was on the second floor at that time so I went down the stairs, which I tripped on. I had hit my hand badly and it was bleeding. That’s when I started to cry. I then walked around the mall crying until I reached one of the exits.

At the time, I was only 5 years old. It was my second week of kindergarten, I was not exactly comfortable yet. School was in session and I was playing house, being the dad of course, because I worshiped my father. The loudspeaker came on for teacher to check their emails or turn on the tvs. I turned around and my teacher was on the floor, her hands were to her face and her black eye liner dripped down her cheeks. Some of the students walked over and hugged her, teachers began to congregate. What was going on? Why were teachers all heading to the hallway and screaming for us to do the same? The ground underneath me shook and I began to cry. I didn’t know what was happening.

A Farewell to Arms is acclaimed author Ernest Hemingway’s second standalone novel, published in 1929. The novel is set on the battlefront of World War I and tells the tragic love story of Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver in the Italian army, and Catherine Barkley, a grieving British nurse. Joel Armstrong’s article, “‘A Powerful Beacon’: Love Illuminating Human Attachment in Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms”, provides an in-depth analysis of the use of love throughout the novel, supported by the views of philosophers as well as Hemingway himself. Armstrong uses these viewpoints to determine what type of love story A Farewell to Arms is. In the end, Armstrong states that the love between Henry and Barkley is so complex and impacted by other variables that it defies all other love stories and forces readers to “re-evaluate, head on, the question of love”(Armstrong 81). Armstrong’s position on A Farewell to Arms is supported by Henry’s change throughout the novel, the impact of war on Henry and Barkley’s relationship, and Catherine’s unexpected and sudden death.

February twenty-third 2010 was just a regular ordinary day. I was on my way to class on this cold February afternoon, when my phone rung. It was my cousin on the other end telling me to call my mom. I could not figure out what was wrong, so I quickly said okay and I hung up and called my mom. When my mom answered the phone I told her the message but I said I do not know what is wrong. My mom was at work and could not call right away, so I took the effort to call my cousin back to see what was going on. She told me that our uncle was in the hospital and that it did not look good. Starting to tear up I pull over in a fast food restaurant parking lot to listen to more to what my cousin had to say. She then tells me to tell my mom to get to

It was May 17th, 2011, it was a normal school day when my brother and I were told that my mom called to say that she was picking us up early. I was anxious, wondering why we were going home early and breaking our usual routine. When my mom came to get us, the first thing that I noticed was that she didn’t greet us with her usual smile. I was 9 years old, very observant, but not able to sense what was to come. We got into the car, when I asked my mom where we were going hoping
