1. When and why did you start playing? I started playing when I was 10, my older brother introduced me to heaps of different music especially 80’s & 90’s punk and I loved it… I loved everything from punk to pop really, I’d lay in bed at night listening to the radio trying to record my favorite songs on my walkman and wanted to play it just seemed like a natural thing to want to do… I’ve never really thought why I began, I just loved music !! 2. Which instruments do you play? I play guitar

“What?” Juliana asked. “I’m sorry honey, Samantha was killed in the woods. Her parents identified her body,” her mom cried. The shock for Juliana was paralyzing. How could this happen? Samantha was one of Juliana’s best friend. “How did she die?” Juliana sadly asked. “She was found on the trail behind her house in the woods, apparently she tripped on a rock and landed on her head,” her mom added. “How did they know she wasn’t murdered or attacked?” “ They don’t. It is what they are assuming

A Comparison of Two Men's Weekly Magazines January saw two publishing giants IPC and EMAP venture into the “no man’s land” of the magazine industry with the publication of two Men’s weekly magazines, intelligently titled Nuts (published by IPC) and Zoo (EMAP).

6. I believe that Lily’s father prevented her from going to grammar school for a variety of reasons. One would be that he saw her as mainly a source of income and looked at the here-and-now value of her work, rather than her getting a better job in the future. Second, he felt insulted because his kid would get a better job than what he had and he had never had the privilege to go to a nice school because he had been deprived of his childhood.

There are things I need to tell you but can’t” he said. “So they’re secret?” I asked. “Yes, so many things you have know but aren’t allowed to” he answered. “Well then if you can’t tell me maybe it’s your time to go” I said standing up pointing to the window. “You really wanna know what I am?” he asked. Before I could respond Liam’s eyes changed from their blue color to a blood red. I bit back a scream as two snake-like fangs elongated from his mouth. “Y...you’re a vampire”

The front windows were rolled down as wind washed through the steadily moving car. A strong stench of month-old fruit, cigarette smoke and general grime was hidden only by wafting aftershave, purchased at last weeks five dollar sale. Glued across the grey vinyl upholstery were crumbs of every imaginable food source, accompanied by a myriad of colourful drink stains.

I didn't truly understand hard work until the summer of 2016. Hard work is when you take time and put effort into something to become successful. I thought playing NBA 2k17 all day to reach legend on the Xbox was the hardest work any boy could do at the time, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

In that instant my whole life would be changed.The sun was just beginning to set and the weather was perfect, the rest of the players moved passed me towards the ball. In that moment I looked down at my leg and screamed. They were late.
