I Was Hoping

what did you learn from the experience? As I reach the top of the stairs, I am panting and out of breath. No matter how many times I have complete the climb to the top, it has never become any easier, but as I arrive at the doors I relish the heavy breathing as evidence that I have made it. Not to the top of the stairs, but to KAMSC, the Kalamazoo Area Math and Science Center, a place that two years ago, had appeared unattainable. Two and a half years ago I was completing that very same climb, not as

we want to clone people for? During the novel, we learn the true and horrible truth of Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy. The main reason for their existence was to donor their organs to sick people. Now, if we think about this we can come to the conclusion that this is not correct. Must High school students like to do drugs, smoke, and drink alcohol like if it was water. Technically, students do not care about their bodies or think that there will be no consequences. In the novel, the donors do not have a

I raced through the data banks, running through rows and rows of binary code, jumping off some C++ code, racing to make it to the Wi-Fi receptor on time. Breathless, I jogged up to my boss to receive instructions. “Hi, B-b-boss,” I managed to gasp out. “Kitster, you barely made it. I want you try to make it here more on time, otherwise, you’ll be fired.” “Yes Sir…ir…ir.” I was crouched over, struggling to regain my breath. Mr. Jones rolled his eyes. “Listen: we’re connected to Wi-Fi, but it isn’t

Today is the day I finally get to work on the new VR project. Apparently the government has been developing a new technology for interrogation. The details are fuzzy but I think we will be torturing the patients by killing the in virtual reality but they have pain receptors on so it feels like they are actually dying. The only way to escape the torture is complete 5 challenges and you will be left Scott-free without any consequences (from what I heard that is almost impossible). My brand new job

“NO”! I have something else for you to do, she says. Kevin says,’’ Aw man’’! Kevin was in suspense about what she was going to make him do. Out of nowhere Aunt Lucie tells him to go rake the yard. Kevin says with a stutter,’’ but, but, but’’. Aunt Lucie says with a mean voice, ‘’Don’t but me boy. ’She pushed Kevin out of the door and slammed the door with all her force, and the door made a loud thud noise. Kevin went outside very sad went to get the rake. He got the rake just before he was about

I am Antonio Maravillas and this is my second semester at UWM. I previously attended UW-Parkside for two years. Since the only English course I have taken in my college education was at Parkside, I am a bit unfamiliar with UWM’s first year writing program. Based on my impressions thus far, I believe that this course will focus a lot on research based writing, contrary to the class I took at Parkside which was focused on general writing. I think that research based writing is a vital aspect that

“Only Gatsby, the man who gives his name to think book, was exempt from my reaction - Gatsby, who represented everything for which I have unaffected scorn” (2). Nick thinks that Gatsby’s view on gettting the “American Dream” is impossible because Daisy is married and does not know that Gatsby is back from war. Gatsby proves Nick wrong by throwing the huge parties just trying to find a way to reunite with

read. When I was in eleventh grade I was about 16 and reading was hard for me to get into. Sitting in an uncomfortable seat trying to read a book was boring to me. As we read “Of Mice and Men” the book has no picture, the pages are thin, and it had no smell to it. The only picture that was on that book was a tree on the cover. As I sit in this warm room with other bored students and following a long in this small long book. The room is quiet that I could hear a pin drop if one did drop. I just wanted

My comrades and I crouch behind a enormous olive bush hoping our excessive breaths and our thumping hearts don’t give away our position. Then as if things couldn't get any worse one of the younger guy’s flashlight turns on. Its as if the earth was vibrating as the monster lands 10 feet in front of us. I gradually open my eyes, there’s an ear-splitting ringing in my ear, everything looks fuzzy. I see one of my comrades lying in front of me as blood oozes out of his nose, his eyes staring directly

levels that are below than expected, and they limited resources. This all plays a big part on the student’s academic success. I think Kozol’s reason for saying “the shame of this nation” is because of the low academic success coming from this school. I don’t think that apartheid schooling is as big of a problem now days than it was back then, but it could still be taking place. I am just not as aware of it. Question 2: The question, “Why students who need so much get so little” is not very easy
