Slow Man

eyes that glared out the window with the unruliest hair you could ever imagine. As we stopped at our final red light before our destination, we both witnessed an extremely bad car wreck. It was one of those car wrecks that seem to happen in slow motion, so slow that you can almost scream “Watch out!”. All of a sudden, the women that I viewed as my ordinary suburban mom dashed out of our warm van to face the crisp, windy weather. That day she risked her life to save another. She was able to keep the

The Millenniums are being defined as the group of individuals that are born between the years of 1982 and 2000 approximately. They are also the generation that is considered “Generation Y.” Millenniums are not their parents and grandparents that believed it so very important as an adult to settle down and get married. The previous generation was always about finding a career and settling down for stability. The stability angle is the getting a career and putting down roots by securing a home. The

enjoy the thrill, but there is no thrill like hunting. The rush of seeing the majestic beasts glide through the woods is an experience that few know and many never experience. The adrenaline pushes of pulling the trigger and seeing the arrow fly in slow motion as it streaks through the air will leave your heart pumping faster than anything else, but hunting is not easy and that can’t be seen more through my first experience crossbow hunting. My stand is cockeyed in the corner of a woods that sits

Is there such thing as being too protective of your child? There comes a point where parents have to let their children grow up on their own and make mistakes, but it seems parents now are raising a generation full of helpless children. Helicopter parenting is being a way of parenting that everyone seems in on, but what the parents are understanding is that keeping children sheltered from the real world and mistakes can damage them in the future.

In order for a food product to be labeled as certified organic, the farm it is being produced on must preserve its natural recourses, as well support animal health, not use genetically modified foods (GMOS) as well as going threw the process of annual onsite inspections, keeping its organic

Helicopter parenting is when a parent or guardian is overly concerned, and involved in their child’s performance in various activities and their physical well-being. As discussed in lecture, this concept largely stems from the idea that the world has become increasingly dangerous since the parents of the millennial generation were children and in turn they over compensate by becoming involved in their children’s action and life decisions, both big and small.

“All decent parents want to do what’s best for their children. [They] just have a totally different idea of how to do that” (Amy Chua). All around the world parents strive to be the “perfect” parent, but ultimately they desire to determine a style of parenting that will help their child be successful.

Negative Affects of Helicopter Parents in Youth Sport Throughout my whole life all I could really remember is playing sports and always playing them very competitively, and having my parents very involved. There was a lot of pressure put on me from a young age, all the way up into even now playing college football. I was raised with “helicopter” parents rather than the “laid back” parents.

2AC Paper #2: Personal Narrative Pain is a funny thing. Sometimes it strikes suddenly, a lightning strike in a quiet blue sky. It tears through you and for a few seconds you cannot breathe; cannot think. This was different. This pain was patient and slow. It crept up on me; starting as just an annoying dull ache in my hip.
