He then proceeded to show me more of his prized pictures of

    My group members for this project were Sarah Gianopulos, Andrea Avendano, Andrew Riis, Parker Stuart, and Joseph Jones. I genuinely enjoyed working with all of them. Right from the start, we all got along very well, to the point where we would even talk and text outside of class about things completely unrelated to our assignment.

Darabont chose this moment to fade from the view of the bus on a lone two lane road, to the blue ocean as seen from a bird’s eye as it glides above.

    Not all heroes wear capes. Most heroes don’t consider themselves heroes. As cliche as it might sounds it is true. Each individual person identifies a hero differently. Some may say someone is a hero simply because they wear a cape while others may see their friend, a celebrity, or their president as their hero, it all depends on the person.There’s also the possibility of someone’s hero being someone else’s villain. It can be the little things they do that makes them a hero. For example, the leader
