As I am preparing myself to close the doors of this chapter and open the next chapter in life, I can not help but cry at how amazing the Lord has been in my life. Through all of my struggles and disobedience, the Lord never ceased to show me His Love and Mercy.
Recently, Puckett High had its last game for the 2016 football season. My first “last” of the year. The last time for me to suit up as Fang at 2:00 to attempt to pep up the crowd. The last time for me to suit up as Fang 20 minutes before game time. The last time Carlee would be in Fang at a football with Puckett. The last time I would have the opportunity in Fang to answer the most random questions like “Can I touch your tail?” or “Will you come to my house and play?” Being Fang has taught me so much about myself and others. Fang has taught me to be patient. In times when I really wanted water, I waited because a child’s smile is worth so much more. So many children told me that I, Fang, was their best friend. They would talk about hanging out with Fang from the time they left on Friday night until the time they would return the next week. I made connections with many children. Some even being from the other team’s school. But children do not care if it is their school mascot, they just need love and affection. There were a few times I got called a dog and occasionally a fox. One of the main downfalls of being Fang was not the heat, but the times when little children were not able to grasp the concept that I was just a girl. My only intentions were to fail at doing cartwheels to make the crowd laugh or pep up crowd by doing the worm. Fang will forever be one of my favorite high school memories. Honestly, I will not

In the bible, it talks about the little children running to Him to listen to His stories and wanting His love. Just as the little children ran to Fang on Friday nights, I encourage you to run to Jesus with open arms. He is waiting for
When you think of FFA, you think of cows, plows, and sows, but it is so much more. Growing up with a background of agriculture has tremendously impacted the way I have grown up. Both of my grandparents raised horses, which invoked my love for riding horses. My maternal grandparents raised pigs and beef as well which allowed me to broaden my background. I used to live on a dairy farm where we bottled our own milk. I also help out on our grain farm, and I milk at a dairy farm. With all of my experience in agriculture I knew that FFA would be a good choice for an activity to become involved in. Since joining the middle school quiz bowl team in 8th grade, I have been heavily involved in agriculture. Although I was later than
Father, I intercede, according to your will, on the behalf of Elijah. That he will come into the understanding of your ways and how to walk in faith through all aspects of his life.
In the Western Roman Empire politics was the first contributing factor the fall of it. One of the many reasons is because of their unfit emperors. They had many. The ones who were unfit, were greedy and used cruelty to control and keep control of their empire. Not all showed the ability to be the emperor, some of them inherited the throne, and some of the people who did had a mentally unstable personality. Some Emperors were assassinated by their Praetorian Guard for position or money. Once the Praetorian Guard assassinates the emperor, if they had a leader their leader would become the emperor. As a result of the unfit emperors civil wars broke out across Rome. Legions fought one another. The citizens of the
I believe the two most important amendments in the Bill of Rights is the first and second amendments. The reason the first amendment is important to the United States citizens is because it protects the freedom of speech, religion and the press of a citizen. Citizens are able to communicate, state their opinion without getting into any trouble. However, “There are some limits to this, though, such as libel, slander, obscenity and incitement to commit a crime.”. People are free to speak their minds as long as they do not give false information about any other citizen. Many citizens have different religions, no one can change a person's religion nor how they practice it. Everyone has a right to their own religion, citizens have the freedom of
If we really believe, keep doing what he wants us to do, we will certainly hear the same affirmation that poor, but now so blessed man heard. “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in
The “cave” in Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” is a metaphor for human’s mind, in this document he basically said that human need guidance that help them to get out of that “cave” and the cave that we are in right now is our mindset and our perception. Get out of our cave meaning create for us a new perception, give us a chance to gain back our free will and more than that it help us take back our freedom to think, question, analyze about this world. When you living your old thought and perception, at first you will feel terrifying, scare and depress because you don’t know what to do or what to think , you will question everything you do, see, touch or heard. However, it’s worth it because when you gave up your old knowledge that enlightened
It was near the end of my 8th grade school year, about 2 month away from graduation, when something I never expected to happen actually happened. This event really changed my life forever and shaped me into who I am as a person today. I had just arrived at my house after school when my parents received a call that my grandma was ill and that we should come down to check on her. As we rushed down to my grandparents house, my family was deeply concerned about what may have happened because my grandma had never really had many health issues before this. As we arrived at their house and walked through the door, we were greeted with the sight of my grandma sitting in a chair with a blanket around her while she was sleeping. My family’s first reaction
Oh how I’ve been blessed by our one true God! Oh how he has taken his compassion upon me and turned my sorrow into something great. I would have never thought I would escape the place I was in; feeling unloved and lonely. But oh how God has taken himself upon my problems and turned them around! God saw me in my darkest hour, and I would strongly encourage to keep faith and hope in him through your trials, for he will see you and present you with blessings.
My dad, for as long as I can remember, has always been a big part of my life. All throughout middle and high school we would have heart to heart conversations just father and son. I can remember the warmth of the fire, the taste of tea on the tip of my tongue, a cool midnight breeze blowing in carrying the scent of grass and fresh rain, my dad sitting across the room telling me about the different projects he was working on, and regaling me with advice to help in everyday life. One night, he told me something that would change my life forever: that all the different clubs, hobbies, and sports that I do are connected to each other in some way, and how each skill I gain from each of these different activities can be filed away to use in a later
Garold starts off in a pub talking to people about how he doesn't know magic. All of them are just dumbfounded he can’t do simple magic. They don’t know he is just a human not a mage or a mythical being from this world. Maybe he will learn one day on how to do magic. Garold feels bad so he runs away back to his safe spot. The bridge that divides both worlds, the one that gets him home all the time.
Where did my monster go? so my monster was in my sister's room after all.
he first thing I did when I was first placed into my mom’s arm was wink. It was the most peculiar thing ever. She and my dad were both confused, thinking about what that wink would symbolize. Little did they know they had a daughter who would continue to stimulate their brains and logic. I was always an outgoing, awkward child. I was also very conscious of expensive things. I, as a “mature” 3 year old, once told my brother, “Anna (that’s Telugu for older brother), be careful! Is epensive( expensive on three year old speak)!” Every where I would go, I would say hello to every person that crossed my path; if a person didn't respond, I would pester them to the point that a response seemed like their only savior.
. . .” I repeated the whole Psalm, over and over, with a sudden clarity of memory. First it was a prayer; then it became the answer to the prayer. I was suddenly aware of another presence in the stark hospital cell, not exactly visible, but unmistakably, powerfully there. It was this new Christ I’d been reading about. There was no doubt of it; this Son of God was saying: “Come to Me . . .” and He was there. As the Psalm continued to flow through my mind it was as if He took me to Himself, held me, and filled me with a peace and a quiet that left me sure that everything was going to be all right, no matter what came next. Whether I lived or died, I had nothing to fear: “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me (Johnson, para.15)
Time passed as I remained in that kitchen chair. Until the doorbell broke me out of my continuous, horrific train of thoughts, that is.
Once there was a boy named Charles. Charles was 13 years old with dark hair and greenish-blueish eyes. He was tall with the cleverness of a rock. He didn't make very good grades as a student and was focusing on sports. His mother and father were very nice people with astounding personalities. His mother had light hair with green eyes and his father had dark hair like his and blue eyes. They were a kind family overall.
