Growing up with a father in the military, you move around a lot more than you would like to. I was born just east of St. Louis in a city called Shiloh in Illinois. When I was two years old my dad got the assignment to move to Hawaii. We spent seven great years in Hawaii, we had one of the greatest churches I have ever been to name New Hope. New Hope was a lot like Olivet's atmosphere, the people were always friendly and there always something to keep someone busy. I used to dance at church, I did hip-hop and interpretive dance, but you could never tell that from the way I look now.
“Don’t take things for granted” “Casey, your group needs to do the stunt one more time!” coach said imprudently. It happened March 26, 2015; it was at the end of a two hour practice. During the summer months in South Georgia, it is utterly hot and humid, especially in our cheer

Throughout the conversation, Susan did not inform me that the home was still in First Look and not open to investors at this time. Susan did not highlight any features of the home, nor did she talk about the neighborhood or the surrounding area. When asked, Susan paused to reference the property file and stated, "In looking at the pictures it appears that it needs interior paint, carpet, appliances, and a few windows, which the previous seller must have taken." She stated, "I don't know why they have to remove things from the homes." I asked, "Do you have offers?" She paused to check the property file and answered, "No offers." I asked, "Is the property behind the home farmland?" She paused to reference the property file and replied, "It appears
I’m fairly new to the adult romance genre, and after reading a few that I adored I got a blogger friend of mine to give me some recommendations. On her list of recommendations for romances that are more rom-com was Melissa Foster’s The Real Thing. This was my first Melissa Foster book and I absolutely loved it! I’m so glad I decided to pick up this one as one of my first picks. he Real Thing takes place in a small town called Sugar Lake and features Zane and Willow who have a somewhat complicated history. I loved that they technically started out as friends and kept in touch all those years before getting together as it just made their chemistry and relationship all the more steamier and swoonier. And while the fake relationship trope was used

Immediately following Saturday’s online class, if asked whether I would change the way in which I search for information or not, I would have said perhaps a little. This is because I did not fully understand the concepts being shown. Both Kristy and Dr. Fagerman demonstrated numerous techniques during the day’s presentation; showing students, including myself, how to search the databases to either narrow or widen our results, making it much quicker to find relevant data. Since that time, I’ve read through all of the handouts and practiced using these ideas with improved success. Logging into the FLITE library and practicing has helped return better information and much quicker than I was able to originally. One particular group during the
Stockton is my home away from home. Ever since my first undergraduate open house experience I have felt a sense of belonging on this campus. In truth, I chose to enroll at Stockton because of their engaging curriculum and hospitality. However, I stayed at Stockton because of the faculty and
After the slow dawdle like walk up to “The Site”, with the slight trickle of the fresh mountain stream in the background. All I want is sleep, picturing my bright yellow hammock enveloped by a semi transparent school provided tarp. Soon enough, I am greeted by “The Site” only told
The company built my family just as much as my family built the company. I was inspired and intrigued by the stories that my grandfather told me. From the time i was a young child he would go on these incredibly vivid tirades about the family trade; Steel working, more specifically blacksmithing. To many this may seem like an obsolete craft but to me it was so much more. The processes of and bending and shaping a material renowned for its strength and with nothing more than a flame and a hammer. This captured my interest without any of the slightest struggle and from there it began, I wanted to learn this craft that had been burnt into the very foundation of my family.
I like the method freewriting, because before I gather ideas in my brain, and as soon as the ideas start flowing, I put them on paper. When using the freewriting method, I forget all of the rules concerning order, grammar, punctuation or spelling. When is finished, then, I go back to the page, I read it slowly and underline all of the main
When I hear the phrase capturing life I automatically think all about people. Specifically the time spent with the people around you. I hold the belief that every day that is spent on this earth is another day to spend with your friends and loved ones. Furthermore; I also believe this photo I chose fully captures that my reason is that when I saw my best friend, and her sister on the couch I reminded of all the beautiful moments just like that I had with her and my own family. I probably captured moments everyday filled with these relationships however, I never thought anything of it until this Essay. Every time you take a photo of a person you’re preserving them in a certain moment of their life. So each photo, even if it’s insignificant,
Free Offset It all began with a simple phone call one night after dinner. “Quavo,” my father hollered up the stairs, “Takeoff is ringing your line and it’s urgent.” As I came down the stairs to pick up my cell phone, I was not happy. I was tired and had looked forward to a nice, quiet evening at home visiting with my father at his house, not another trap run with Takeoff. Thirty minutes later, however, Takeoff’s Rolls Royce Phantom whipped into our driveway, and Takeoff was leaning on the horn before the car came to a full stop. Grabbing my coat from the couch, I walked out of my front door in my with all the enthusiasm of a white boy walking onto gang territory.
