Sheá Marie McKnight. This childhood friend shaped my background, entire identity, and my future life. From kindergarten, she was always by my side helping me through thick and thin. Unexpectedly at the age of 14, on April 7, 2015, she passed away. When I heard of this news, I was completely traumatized, but looking back on my senior year of high school, this event was transformative, both good and bad. I mentioned before that she is currently present in my life. I believe that through every event and decision I make, she is guiding me nevertheless.
From the start of kindergarten to eighth grade, Sheá and I went to the same school, Presentation BVM. We were like sisters who had the same mindset, likes, and dislikes. I always thought that we

In 2014, Sheá decided to go to Little Flower while I decided to go to Central. After several months, we weren’t as close, but we always made an effort to text each other during every class. The risk of getting caught didn’t matter. As long as we got to say our crazy hellos, it was all okay. At the end of March, I was told that Sheá was hospitalized for medical reasons but it wasn’t anything urgent. For the three weeks she was in the hospital, I only visited once. Everyday I was told that she was going to get better and that she was okay. That wasn’t the case. Everything I’ve been told was a lie. On April 5, I tried visiting again, but her room was restricted from all visitors except family. There was no news or update until the morning of Monday, April 7th, 2014, the date of her death. Monday was the start of a school week, and I knew my parents wouldn’t let me be absent from school, so I built up all my emotions from that day. Starting from this day, I became extremely depressed. I kept on thinking that I should’ve done more, I should have spent more days with her, I should have went to the funeral, and that I should've paid my respects to her family, but due

Linda was O’Brien’s first experience with death and the loss of a close friend or loss of a person in his life. She represented young and innocence in life. After Linda died, O’Brien kept her alive by dreaming of her all the time, he even looked forward to sleeping just so he could see her. This was the beginning of his storytelling and keeping people alive with his mind or through stories. She represents the loss of innocence and loss of childhood. This representation is an example of the young soldiers who lost their lives and drastically changed in the war. When she died and Timmy saw her dead body he realized that people die and your friends can die; which is something the soldiers experienced for the first time. O’Brien keeping her alive
Sadie, Tyler, and Savannah are darling, loving children with an infectious curiosity that is a joy to witness. They have each made significant gains developmentally and emotionally following a rough start in life as evidenced by their early medical histories. The children continue to mature emotionally in a stable, loving, home using consistent strategies to parent the children. Identifying their medical, developmental, and emotional needs has allowed the necessary services that have supported their primary care provider and maternal aunt, Kristy Cummings, in caring for each child's individual needs including the strategies/interventions to support challenging behaviors. Kristy is very patient and loving with the children. She has expressed
It is seven thirty in the morning. I am walking down the hallway after arriving at school. I turn the corner and my best friend Heidi starts running at me with tears in her eyes, and a very pale complexion. I immediately know something is wrong. She then proceeds to tell me that she woke up this morning and her mom did not come home from work last night, and the police were now looking for her. Two hours later she was called down to the office with life shattering news. I was called down to the Principal's office an hour after Heidi was, discovering the news that the mother of my lifelong
There was this scene where Lisa Howard: What is the most important quality for a revolutionary to possess? Ernesto CheGuevara: El amor. Cuban Diplomat #1: [translating] Love. Lisa Howard: Love? Cuban Diplomat #1: “Love of humanity... of justice and truth”. A real revolutionary goes where he is needed. This portrayed that Guevara expounded a vision of a new socialist citizen who would work for the good of society rather than for personal profit, a notion he embodied through his own hard work. Often he slept in his office, and, in support of the volunteer labour program he had organized, he spent his day off working in a sugarcane field. He had one of the most vital roles in the revolution being the army's official doctor, the revolution's logical
Our mom Julia had overdosed and the EMTs did everything they could but she was pronounced dead hours ago with J right beside her. Julia wasn't my biological mother but she had raised me alongside J my entire life. My dad had been with her for a while back when I was younger and she even used to say that he was like the Kurt Cobain to her Courtney Love, he hadn't died or anything but after getting too comfortable he ran off and dumped me onto Julia like some hand me down.
Sarah Finnegan (#1 S.O.), who was an avid reader (#4 D.U.), was spending her time engrossed in her private, extensive library. She (#1 S.O.) was currently (#3 D.U.) diving into one of her own works, a self help journal that related to how to deal with certain people in her life. Reading (#4 S.O.) slowly and carefully as she went along, not willing to miss a single detail. While (#5 S.O.) she was searching the journal, her old friend Antonio was swinging from a chandelier, directly (#3 D.U.) in front of the library. Antonio was ill (3sss). His brain was fried (3sss). He was sometimes crazy (#6 S.O.)(3sss). However, Sarah, calmly aware of the circumstances, did not have any mental disabilities; in fact, she was quite capable. She (#1 S.O.) was all too used to this type of behavior from Antonio, so his swinging from the chandelier did not phase her. Slowly raising her head, she glanced up at the pendulum. There was Antonio and the chandelier swinging back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, it was endless.
Kaely Camacho, also known as Ca”Nacho Cheese”, Is someone I was close with a cared very deeply for since my early childhood. In 8th grade, the year 2012, I lost my best friend. This time I couldn’t fix it with a simple “I’m sorry”. It wasn’t expected or even properly explained. On April 13, 2012, my 13-year-old best friend died in a car accident. She had the prettiest blonde hair, and blue eyes that compared to the ocean water.

During my sophomore year, I became depressed and antisocial due to problems in my life. My mother has been sick with a brain tumor since 2009 and she was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2012. It has been very hard on me and especially for my mother. I worry about her because she has shown signs of severe depression, she often talks about that she would rather be dead than alive anymore. After all of the pain, all of the humiliation of not being able to walk well, the embarrassment of not being able to write well, all of the staring and comments I would hear about my mother, she is still strong. After 6 years of pain and suffering along the way, I do not blame her. Everything seems to get worse. She now needs surgery due to avascular necrosis that was caused by many years of chemotherapy. I began to lose motivation slowly because I did not have any friends in any of my classes and I felt like I was stuck in a
There have been several contemporary developments in the last century that have followed on from the jury system origins. Western Australia currently upholds a trial by jury system. In 1829, W.A. was settled as the Swan River Colony. Captain Stirling arrived in W.A., issuing a proclamation, which declared that the new colony would apply Britain statute law and common law. It didn’t take long until Stirling appointed eight free settlers to become justices of the peace, allowing them to now adjudicate criminal matters within this colony. At the first court sitting in 1830, the justices drew up a set of rules, that introduced the concept of juries. 1832 saw the Legislative Council enacting legislation that established not only a civil court, but

Sarah Kemble Knight possessed character traits that were rare in women of her time. She was, unlike most women, an independent, strong, and self-confident person. She was humorous and adventurous. Her strengths included the fact that. although rare, she was not afraid to travel without a male relative as was the custom of her day. She devoted little of her journal to her fears, but focused on the humor she encountered daily on her travels. She was terrified of the river crossings, but wrote sparingly of these crossings and moved on to more entertaining journal entries. I believe her to be very likable, but probably more so to her friends and family than the people she wrote about on her trip. Her sharp pen showed only disdain for the backwoods
When the softball season ended my mom found out was pregnant with my brother Colton. As I thought we were a normal family, but chris would leave and wouldn’t come back for days. My mom would worry because with three children, having a job and paying bills it was a lot for my mom to take on. My family and I had to move from one house to another because my mom couldn’t come up with the money to pay rent. We became almost homeless many times. When Chris came home he would act like he didn’t leave and tell my sister and I he went away for work, sometimes when he would leave I would ask my mom, “Mommy where did chris go” and she would say “He’ll be back” or “he’s at work, he’ll be home soon”. I knew something was up but it took a minute for me to figure it out because I was young. When we moved for the fourth time we got settled into a house. The year was 2012 my mom was pregnant with my little sister named Alleigh, chris started to straighten up after she was born but it was too long before he left again. There would be nights my mom would sit outside and drink until she would come inside and fall over. I wouldn’t understand why, I would try and comfort her the best way I
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
