“BOOM SHAKALAKA” hollered the announcer at the top of his lungs. Every time an shocking race had been completed in the finals session and a record was broken he hollered that. And He should have especially for this race… I won’t say that I thought it wouldn’t happen in front of my eyes but how was it possible at all, much less in front of my eyes.
First off I was in the 1996 Olympic pool the McAuley Aquatic Center for Men’s Division I Swimming and diving Championships. Almost the whole time all you could hear was screwball college kids coming from all over the country. There was that one little ODU kid all the way to Texas, Cal, Georgia, and Florida’s all Americans. It was just mesmerizing to watch world champions swim, even my sister
One day there was an open field, but not just any open field. This field was guarded by a goddess, Nixious (Nix-e-ous) goddess of disease. In this field laid her treasure, a young rancher and her cottage with sheep. This rancher impressed the goddess, and earned the name Simkaxzi (Sim-kah-z). One day, a mischievous young thief came to the ranch to take the sheep flock. As soon as he started to put a lead on one of the sheep’s neck, the goddess awakened. Nixious as furious as ever, and picked up the thief with her mighty grasp. She called Simkaxzi down from her small cottage. Nixious announced “Here is thy thief. Simkaxzi should you be thy one to decide punishment, what would it be.” Simkaxzi replied “Let his family be cursed with a disease
Over the course of history, the historical information regarding Jesus Christ has been interpreted by many different individuals and has led to different beliefs and views regarding the existence of Jesus Christ as a real man. Today I will be interpreting this evidence and i will be attempting to answer the question “Was Jesus Christ a real man?”. The evidence I will be looking at to answer this question will be information regarding the context of Jesus Christ, the historical accounts of non-Christian authors as well as the evidence for the Bible which is the main source regarding the life of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ once said, ‘‘As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you’’(BrainyQuote). Although hard to believe, there are many people in this world who don't even love their parents or themselves. Jesus Christ would do anything to honor God, his father, and it is a way to show him that he loves him. Jesus Christ loved others so much that he gave his life so that another can live without sins. Jesus Christ was an important, influential figure in history that had a positive impact on the world through his miracles.
“Wonder if I” that's how it all starts(Owl City, Wonderfilled). Wonder brings joy to people. With joy comes Oreo Cookies. Oreos spread joy and friendship to whoever receives one, which makes Oreos the best dessert there is.
Ring, ring, ring. This sound is ingrained in my subconscious as one of anxiety, confusion, frustration, and eventual relief. Junior year had just begun and I was busy completing my homework when the phone started to ring. I was already anticipating the ways I would spend my time after completing my written assignments and reviewing the new information learned that day in class. My father had not returned from work yet, and dinner had already come and gone. This initial idiosyncrasy, one that probably should have raised a "red flag," was glossed over as routine and ordinary. Times of tribulation and stress often expose who we truly are as individuals. They strip us of our defensive layers and reveal ourselves at the "bare bones," fundamental level. I had no idea that this telephone call (and subsequent events) would expose my true identity
Junior is a very confident teenager. He stands up against people that are even bigger than him. He also goes to places he is not accepted and stands up to anyone that gets on his way, even if the people are from another race. For example, when Junior started attending Reardan, most white kids started to bully him, but when one of the kids started talking about his race (Native Americans) and African Americans, he got angry and punched the bully in the face. After that, the bully always respected Junior and was being friendly. At the same time, Junior is one of those kids that always gets beat up and they need someone to defend them, and in his case, it would be his best friend Rowdy. Since they were little kids, Rowdy has always been protecting him from

Screwed. That is the one word he would use, screwed. Sure things could be worse. He could be lying in a ditch dead or maybe in a shipping crate bound for Africa. Even still this was not much better. He loathed his job and everything to do with it. So a required work “party” was not how he wanted to spend his night. He considered “getting sick” but decided against it. Besides how bad it could be? He wouldn’t have to stay long and there would be free food. He decided he could bare it. Little did he know that his decision had just won him a sentence of twenty-five to life.
When you see a dance team at a football game you will notice the uniforms and makeup, but the kick routines will definitely catch your eyes. I imagine that you think to yourself, “Oh, that’s easy. Anyone can do a kick.” But doing a kick is not as simple as it looks. There are several steps involved before a dancer can get it perfect: getting comfortable, stretching efficiently, positioning correctly and kicking perfectly.
The sun shone down on the small above-ground pool, only brightening the face of eleven-year-old Reagan McBride. She has osteogenesis imperfecta, a disease in which your bones become delicate and easy to fracture(Billock). She is also paralyzed from the neck down, with constrained movement of her small and narrow arms(Billock). A grin spreads on her face as an otter swims through her hands, her eyes shutting with excitement and joy.
The great Netflix pricing debacle. I remember it like it was yesterday. The minute I received that email stating that the prices were going up, I immediately canceled my subscription. It is amazing how far they have come since then. Eventually, I made my way back to Netflix. There have been times when I have contemplated canceling my subscription, but there is always a new documentary or original series that pops up. My one pet peeve is that they are constantly removing titles that my son just so happens to love. That leads to a very disgruntled four year old.
I believe it would be beneficial to let 14 year olds into the army. They are
In 1968, thirteen men of Harvard Medical School changed the definition of what it means to be dead. Before, a patient was considered dead when their heat no longer beat and their lungs could no longer function, now a person is considered dead when all brain function ends. This ‘death’ is determined through several tests including; no response to pain, no movement, and no breath. This study changed the way that the entire medical field worked. Some professionals disagree with the concept of brain death. Dr. Alan Shewmon states that if a person still has a functioning body, even when ‘brain dead’, then they should be considered alive. Patients who were declared brain dead are still able to grow, heal injuries, and even carry a fetus. Some critics
Seconds before the big race started they called every individual runner by name to step up and wave for one last time. It was dead silent that you can hear the wind whistle through the tons of fans standing around with cameras and posters of family members. I can hear my heartbeat speed up as the man raises his hand followed with a “on your mark, get set, go” and a big bang shot out. Feet beating the ground almost sounding like horse running on a field with no
