Shyann Downey When a Cat Broke My Arm It was the beginning of fall in 2011, so the weather was still pretty warm. I was in fifth grade so I was about 10 years old. My friend Sierra and I were at her house playing in the yard. She lives just two houses from me, so we ran back and forth from her house to mine all the time. We would usually go roller blading, play catch, go to the park behind our house and do lots of fun things. When we would go roller blading we only had one pair of roller blades

Introduction Hockey is a game of stick and ball with origins going back to thousands of years. It is conventionally played on grass, but more frequently it is played on man-made surfaces. Two teams play using hooked sticks to push, hit, pass and dribble a small, hard ball with single aim in mind i.e. to notch a goal by receiving the ball past the goalkeeper. Hockey is a team game played on a very large surface of field or ice or may be on street. With the Hockey stick in hand, players clash to strike

Everyone at some point in their life has had the dream where they are falling, but they never actually hit the ground. This dream is symbolic of life. Regardless of how far you fall you never hit the ground. A friend of mine, currently in pharmacy school, confides in me about how he wishes that he had done things my way, the right way as he calls it. Nevertheless, I did not grasp what he meant so one day, I implored him to explain. According to him, the “right,” way is by not failing classes the

Imagine going into store and not knowing that it was close, no one is there to help. And opportunity to steal, but will give someone the courage to do the right thing? It takes courage to do the right thing. What if doing the right thing can affect someone else, then they can get the courage to do the right thing also. After reading the text “Doing the Right Thing,” “Thank You Ma’am,” and “The Road Not Taken” it is evident that family future and others can give you the courage to do the right thing

I found Sherry Turkles “Along Together: Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other” very intriguing. Her book really makes you question the lifestyle we live and opens your eyes to the direction we are headed in today. In her book, Turkle explains how we chose to be alone now that technology has been integrated into our daily routine taken over all aspects of our life. She suggests with all the modern technology around us we have had less time to face the real world. We use this

Also known by the titles "Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time" and "A Triumph of Venus", this painting was on purpose designed as a complex, erotic allegory that includes an extent of iconographic symbols from the ancient world of mythology. It was a present from Cosimo de Medici to King Francis I of France. Being rich and vivid in symbolism relating to the constituting ideas of the High Renaissance, the painting gives Bronzino the opportunity to establish his maestro figure painting and portrait art.

“Never be afraid to do what's right; especially if the wellbeing of a person or animal is at stake, society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our souls when we look the other way.” Sometimes people can't find the courage to do the right thing in hard situations. This relates to the text “Doing the right thing”, “Thank You, Ma'am” and “The Road Not Taken” because it is evident that the persona in these excerpts found the courage to do the right thing.

In the winter of 2015, bought a horse named Sparky. He is a flea-bitten grey, half Arabian. Sparky is 16 hands, so he stood about 5 feet at the withers, in between the shoulder blades. Sparky was such a colossal horse, when I have been standing on one side of him, I couldn 't see over his back. He weighed about 1300 pounds, close to 10 times the size of me! When we got him, I look back and remember being so scared of him, he was a mammoth next to me! After this angel of a horse, I have always said

It’s noon, on one of the hottest days in July. We’re playing one of the hardest teams in our league. There is 2 minutes on the clock, and we are running our last play of the game. It has been a hard fought game, and we are all tired and bruised. One of my teammates gets the ball and I am running right beside her. She gets tackled and passes me the ball. I have a gap between two players on the apposing side, that if I hit just right, I will have enough room to run the field to score and get that last

Lurking in the Shadows When I was younger, I never really believed in ghosts, but this experience changed my life. A long time ago, around the age of thirteen, I was in a lot of things that caused me to be labeled as a troublemaker. It was so bad that one time (ironically right before winter break) my parents thought it would be the best to come up with the ultimate punishment for me. They decided to leave me at home for a week while they were off on an extravagant vacation to the mountains. The
