Oak Brook

Our town is more home to us than our actual house. We make so much memories around town, whether it’s dining out with the family at a local restaurant or learning how to ride a bike at our local park to spending our first paycheck at the local mall.

The people of his own time called him a radical, a madman, and a pornographer. These days he is greatly appreciated and entitled as a fearless prophet of a new stage of human development.

He was a successful business man with a picture perfect family. He was announced “Man of the Year” and one just looking at him would never believe he was a man out to kill. Earl Brooks considered his desire to kill as an addiction. He didn’t necessarily know why he had this addiction and in turn he did not know how to fight against it.

gave the country a strong presence within the hockey world. Going into the game against the Soviets in the semifinals of the 1980 Olympic games, Herb Brooks gave one of the most inspirational speeches known to date. This speech was portrayed word for word in the Disney film, Miracle, released in 2004 directed by Gavin O’Conner. Although Herb Brooks’ rhetoric sounds as if he is referencing the Cold War, that did not seem to be the case. Herb’s rhetoric seemed to be solely hockey driven: his significant

On the 23 of September 2017 around 7:30pm I went and saw Tim McGraw and Faith Hill preform their Soul 2 Soul tour at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri. I have never seen either of the two preform live in concert only on shows like the Country Music awards until this date.

I wanted to see them live not
