Turn-off notice

the ability to perceive quietness today much of our society is overtaken by distractions such as social media, texting, tweeting, making calls, as well as other things making us too busy in our everyday lives to be able to sit down and take a deep breath. We as people have so many things running through our brains all at one time we can never just take a moment to ourselves and think. I myself even find it hard to separate myself from everyday distractions like my cell phone, and computer so, I

taken for granted but accepted as a gift. In Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried, O’Brien was chosen from the draft to be deployed to the Vietnam War. He set off on this journey to fight for his country, but had to find himself along the way. In Song of Myself written by Walt Whitman, Whitman was tired of his day to day routine and set off on a tranquil journey to connect himself with the earth. Although “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien and “Song of Myself” both demonstrate a journey of self-discovery

Headed off to work and the car’s tire goes flat, leaving you stranded on the side of the road and if you call someone it will take over an hour for them to arrive. Unsure on how to achieve the job of changing a tire, but you alone possess little knowledge so you look up these wonderful how-to instructions. Don’t worry changing a tire is reasonably simple with a little knowledge and get-it-done attitude. First and foremost, safety is the number one priority for you and others depending on the situation

couldn't be because I just ate dinner. I can hear everyone's footsteps and low voices above my head going down the stairs right now. Getting up off my bed and turning off my tv i hear my dad call for me. i take off my sweatshirt and put my shoes on. I turn my light off and walk out the door down the bright hallway. pulling into the parking lot i notice the ¨Now open¨ sign spread all over the surrounding area of the building. I walk in and smell all the new furniture through the building. I see

I think graduation is the attainment of a goal. A goal requires hard work. It drives people to better themselves on a daily basis. A dream, however, demands no work, no dedication, and no discipline. It is simply a faint hope. It is when a person turns their dream into a reality that things really start to happen. Goals have to be defined. You need to find something you want and be willing to work for it. Goals should be both short term and long term. Short-term goals can be easily attainable

Even though my cat has perfectly clean water in her bowl, she regularly goes to the bathroom in order to drink from the toilet. The toilet guarantees water, while the water bowl must be filled. I notice that many people in my community end up, like my cat, favoring convenience over quality. The community’s lack of faith in its adolescents has bred a cycle of unwillingness to strive for anything greater than graduating from high school.

evaluate driving records. Everyone starts off with a clean driving record; if you get a traffic ticket you points can go up. Tickets for speeding, parking tickets, not using turn signals, parking in handicapped spots, reckless driving, DUI, DWI, driving on a suspended license, driving without a license or drag racing can all make your points go up.

and wish that you had a nice cool water slide to play on in this hot weather too. The animal’s smooth and shiny fur is perfect for slicing through the water. Kicking off with its webbed feet, it quickly reaches shore and scurries up the steep little hill to join its family. “What are these funny animals?” you wonder. Then you notice the sign, “River Otters.” Long whiskers that look like mustaches make the river otters look like some grownups you

as a person. There were multiple days where I became aggressive and got into verbal and almost physical fights with my family. The slightest little thing would set me off and many days I found myself alone in my room agitated at the world for cursing me with an attitude. I did not have many friends so there was no one I could turn to in my time of need. Each
