You have no help,no siblings and no one to take the attention and pressure off of you in your family. The worst thing is that it has to be that way and you can do anything about it.

Shoot! I thought. I didn’t want to wake up Darry, he looked so peaceful. More peaceful than I have seen him in years. He only worked one job now so he could spend more time with Sodapop and I. The judge said that he would take care of some of our expenses so Darry could be home to help me get better. It really worked. My grades in school improved as well as my attitude. I worked really hard on my English grade, I wanted to make my teacher proud.

They also differentiated themselves by choosing team members that were uninterested in maintaining status in the company mainstream way of thinking. HP allowed a lot of leeway to the Kitty Hawk team in making decisions and providing financial backing to the project’s

A New York hotel owner Raymond Orteig offered a prize of $25,000 to the Pilot who completed a non-stop flight over the Atlantic from New York to Paris. Charles could not get that ad out of his head. He soon relented and challenged himself to make the

An incoming freshman who goes by the name of Junie B. Jones had her first day of high school today. It was her first time ever driving to school without a parent present in the car, and boy was she nervous.

It was a huge relief for her, and she was just happy nobody saw her terribly mess up on parking, and didnt make a bad first impression.

Charles Lindbergh landed in Paris May 21st and landed in Ottawa on July 1st the week before the 1927 aerial photos were taken over Muskoka Township, Blackstone and Crane Lakes.

The resolution is good enough, with some image sharpening, to just discern the grassy centre of the roads by the lake.

As the students of Mrs. Davis class were researching a paper about their future careers, all Chris could do was just sit there and think. He didn’t have a plan, he didn’t know what he was going to do after high school but most importantly he didn’t know what he was going to do after college. He hadn’t decided on what career he wanted to choose. With the many careers that there were out there to be offered he just didn’t know which one best suited him. All he really wanted was a career that didn’t require him to leave his home and a career that would help his community.

“Okay, here we are” The man in the moving truck says as he hops out of the truck to help me unload. “Thanks for the ride.” I said shortly as he opened up the hatch and started unloading my furniture. “You a college girl?” he asked being a bit nosy, I replied simply with “ Yeah, it’s my first year,”. He looked at me and laughed, his voice echoing through the rural neighborhood. “Ain’t no colleges in Chandler.” I looked at him rather surprised as I said “Yes there is, the community college.” He looked at me with an almost worried look on his face. “Didn’t figure you would be going to a smaller college like that. My mistake.”

After the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor, life in the U.S. had changed. It was the first time in a long time that America was attacked on its homeland. This national security threat was a big shock to the people. The Japanese had to suffer the consequences of their attack. Just as the Germans developed concentration camps for the Jewish during World War II, the Americans set up "relocation" programs better known as internment camps to keep all the Japanese. The reason the Japanese were moved into these camps was because they were suspected of being spies. They were forced to live there for up to four years and were not able to continue with their own lives as they were before while they were living in these camps.
