My Grandfather Lessons I remember when I was young I loved going fishing with my Grandfather because he was an amazing man who always cared for his family. It was one of the most exciting things I did as a kid because I felt like I was bonding with my grandfather.

It is a class system without letter grades and the stress that comes along with them. A student only has two options-- to pass or to fail. Usually a student with over a C will pass, and those with a D or F will fail the class. The pass fail system is the best type of grading system there is.

One day a man named Jerry was neatly organizing his and his wife Diane’s bedroom. Hours later as Jerry was cleaning the room he heard an unusually loud noise which frightened him. Minutes after he heard the noise he heard it again and again but each time he heard it, it came from a different direction.

Every day, people are faced with responsibility. Some thrive under the pressure while others crumble. Responsibility is a sign of independence. Teenagers with greater amounts of responsibility feel freedom from their parents.

What is a firefighter? He or she is the person next door. He or she is just like you and I, with all the worries, stresses, and unfulfilled dreams. Yet they stand taller than most of us. They are, after all, a firefighter. Men and women who can make holding your hand feel like it’s the biggest thing in the entire world when they’re saving you or your loved ones. They have a gentle touch because they have seen the unbelievable power of violence out of control. They respond to a child 's laughter with

"Shhhh!" my mother whispered as the tanks rumbled by under the cold Afghan night, the stars twinkling above the mountains surrounding us. From our hiding place in the brush along the shoulder of the dirt path through the Khyber Pass, I could see tanks stretching to infinity and, try as I might, I could not find an end to the convoy of trucks. Huddled along with my father, mother, and infant brother and sister, we peered anxiously as the Russian Spetsnaz scouts rolled past us in jeeps ahead of the

activities pose a risk to others who are not engaged in these activities. But there are activities that pose a danger to the participant who engage in them. For example, drinking, smoking, rock climbing. Since all states follow freedom, the state cannot pass laws that forbid consenting adults from participating in such activities just because they cause harm to them.

Furthermore, in the past quite a few of my training drills came from the International Fire Service Training Association manual or similar resources. While

In 1846, eight families gathered together with a common goal, to find a better life in California. These families became known as The Donner party, also known as the Donner-Reed party. Although they set out with high hopes and good faith, their trip was doomed from the start. As I watched Dead of Winter: The Donner Party, a documentary about the Donner Party, I noticed a great difference in information then what was taught in class. I knew very little on this event and when I watched this documentary
