I Know What You Did Last Summer

When I was taking a photo of the purple sky and two stretching lakes across the Bonney Pass in the Teton Mountains; I knew this place that I loved had transformed me into a better person and a more confident woman. When I submitted the lengthy application to the Teton Valley Ranch Camp in Dubois, Wyoming my mind kept sinking back to the fear of flying away to my comfortable close knit home to work at a ranch camp 2,610 miles away. My mom persisted that I should do something different with my summer

when in reality, they are being sympathetic. So, what is the difference? Let’s review all four possible feelings Apathy – total lack of caring. Sort of like when an ant is crawling toward your lunch plate and you smash it dead. This is apathy. You had no regard for the life of the ant. Pity – to feel sorry for someone without being inclined to help in any way. Like when you see the mal nourished child from a 3rd world country and think, I am so blessed to be born in this country.

'You can't do that,' David slurs out barely speaking 'Try me,' Cameroon said as he walks away What happened? why am I here? I must have had a rough night again. David stumbles out of his bed and onto his feet. Takes a moment to balance himself without the wall, then stumble his way to the out of the cell. He remembers when he was in this cell last time. It was a long time ago, when he was young and

running, it doesn’t matter whether you come in first, in the middle or last. You can say, ‘ I finished’ There is a lot of satisfaction in that” - Fred Lebow. I began cross country in eighth grade shortly after my brother joined the year before. He enjoyed it a lot, so I thought it would be fun. I’ve been on the team for two years. I would like to run for the rest of my life. Cross country changed my life positively forever. It taught me to push myself past what I thought was my limit. It revealed

LAST FEW WEEKS Thur. 11/16: I failed an exam in a class so I went to talk to the professor for that to see how I can improve for the next exam and ask about the overall grading. It turned out that the professor didn’t grade the exam, the TA did. He told me how ridiculous my answers were; he said that he was surprised that the TA gave me so many points (I was the lowest in the class).

From experience, if the person does not know the organizations culture, there would be no knowledge on how to act during the professional encounters.

Defying this typical stereotype, we were like a scientific equation together. She was the negative charge and I was the positive charge, always bound to attract. However, the more and more we got to know each other the more we became interested in one another's passions. Over the course of the 3 years, I had convinced her to get involved in sports teams

Oh, did you just notice? She likes you! Don’t be an awkward guy, instead of asking her for her agenda to get out of getting a detention in your science class and not using it, write a note in it! Don’t just say “Hi - David” say something like “I hope you had a great day” or something nice. Don’t just write “Hi”. Also, it doesn’t matter if the agenda is girly, be a man about it. When she unties and ties your shoe again during a movie in orchestra, smile and say thanks. Don’t just smile. When she finds

Change Can Be Good Sometimes Two years ago, on the last day of sixth grade, I was a happy-go-lucky kid who had no idea that my fate would turn my world around. On the last day of school, I say my goodbyes and head for my bus. I scan the room for an empty seat when I spot Melissa. Sixth grade was her first year at Bedminster. She seemed pretty boring, so I twiddled my thumbs for a while. However, sitting next to her made me think about what it would be like to move. To simply drop everything, leave

The impact they have had, and will continue to have, on the pole vault community surrounding them is immeasurable. Pole vaulting has also impacted their lives in many ways as well. Their love for the sport is actually what brought them together. Shannon was a coach at the high school level and one of her girls decided she wanted to
