The pierced girl gave us a paper we needed to fill out, we gave them to Tiffany's mom to sign on the line stating that we had authorization from an adult .The girl showed us all the body jewelry we could choose from to pierce our navels with. There were all colors of small rings with little colored beads connecting them . There was baby blue, teal green , royal purple, sterling silver, gold, and then I saw it - a perfect 12 gauge lime green loop wi .....

Autobiography Of Marina Pitkowski
.... times when I was growing up. We often didn't have that much money, especially to get new luxuries such as new luggage or chocolate. When I was young, we suffered a little, but both my parents' degree of love never changed, and although we didn't have much money, they still got me small gifts every once in a while. Truthfully, I didn't even know that we had been poor until I was much older. But my father got lucky when I was about eight years old, and he got a wonderful job, that set us on the right track.

Creative Writing: Slave Story
.... I knew that if we got caught, that the white people would punish us. I never learned to read or write. My dad said that if the white people knew I could read and write that they would end up selling you. And I didn’t want that.
I never had known my mother. Father said that she died in the course of having me. I felt sad because I felt it was my fault she died. Father said it was nobody’s fault and that he’s very happy I was born. And that he’s happy I am his daughter. Dad said she was b .....

Personal Writing: Joining The Track Team
.... for us one Monday afternoon and explained to all of us the hard work and determination that it was going to take to be on the track team, they “would not tolerate anything but 110% from every single person,” and this I was willing to give. So I informed my boss at work that I would no longer be available to work in the afternoons and that I could only come in after 6 o’clock. Practice was to be held immediately after school, until 5:30 p.m., and that was only if we got all of our exercises done. That .....

Personal Writing: The Sightless Explanation
.... I sat and thought about the events that had just occurred.
I had little experience with what I was observing at Miss Singleton's house. It was difficult to view an elderly person living by herself with nobody to help her out. My family and I voluntarily felt inclined to donate our time to making her life easier when we saw she had nobody to care for her. She always had a caretaker that would help her with her daily tasks that she would pay lots of money to each day. I was skeptical the first time .....

Creative Writing: The Chase
.... be having a party tonight or what girls might be home. They were hardly lucky enough to find a girl from school home on a Saturday night. They were even less lucky when it came to the matter of getting a girl to ride with them. Mostly because when she would ask: what are we doing to do, they would reply: drive around for awhile. This was not something a high school girl wanted to hear from two guys. Even the slowest of females would come to the conclusion that the proposal wasn't entirely good hearted .....

Childhood Experience Of Religion Conflicts
.... friends. It was like a dream come true to be home again. The next day I was able to enroll in the same grade as my friends and I couldn't wait to hang out with them once again. I went to my class and the teacher set me down with an old friend of mine. She didn't even want to look at me. I tried to explain who I was but she stubbornly turned around and whispered something to the person next to her. "What is going on here?" I asked my self, I knew I wasn't welcomed back.
With a child's mind that .....

Creative Writing: Letter To Mom From Jewish Man During The Holocaust
.... labor for him, because it would be much cheaper. One day all of his
commandants threw a mass germicide in the ghetto and many were killed. I
thank God that I was a lucky survivor, but they ended up finding me, and I
along with many other Jews were taken to where I am now, Auschwitz. Here
they have shaved our heads, took our clothing, and both men and women are
viscously beaten if not killed for no reason, besides that fact that we are
Jews. Also men and women are separated, along with the women being
separ .....

Creative Writing: A Passage Of Time
.... were something that
had always given Bradley a structure in his life, they had always
maintained themselves as an unwavering constant. But most importantly, they
were carried out slowly, and in the current times of speed and fast results,
it was very reassuring to be able to take time to go through the routines
which had been a part of Bradley's life for at least fifteen years, now.
Bradley savoured his drink, choosing to drink it very slowly, as if in
an attempt to slow down time. Bradley trie .....

The Change
.... the overwhelming majestic
beauty of nature. I didn’t realize how hard it would be to tear apart from
civilization this last weekend, it greatly affected my conceptualization of
the powerful world we live in. Looking up at the evening sky and observing
a broad expanse of thick clusters of stars, without artificial light,
breathing in cold, fresh, and pure air, absent contaminated, and seeing no
signs of humanity only solemn nature is as a moving and uplifting
experience. Too often today’s civilization .....

A Camera's Eye
.... or on a
city sidewalk. He would look so beautiful and natural surrounded by the
dark colors of the city. I can see the scene and I can move on.
My eyes go back to the girl in front of me. I can't stray too long,
I'll be caught surveying my surroundings and accused of not paying
attention. I bring my focus back to her eyes and then her mouth. A close
up of her lips would be a good shot. Forming each word, detailed curves
and slopes. I've captured the shot.
I've been told before that I see the world .....

Stresses In My Life
.... me as being polite, easy going, and stress-free, I
have many stresses causing me to become frustrated.
Growing up had been no easy task for my brother and I. My parents hardly
ever got along and it seemed that each time they would argue, we were in
the middle of it or the cause of it. After graduating from high school, I
left home. Since my brother had recently moved out, only my parents would
be left to live together, but that didn’t work out. My mother became
desperate to leave my father sinc .....

Personal Writing: My Autobiography
.... Mom and
Grandmother worked. When I was four, Mom got remarried, and we moved to
Jacksonville, North Carolina. We lived in a duplex for six months, just
long enough for the three of us to find a house. Then we moved only five
miles away to a place I could finally call “home.” In August of 1988, I
started kindergarten, at Swansboro Primary School. In October of that
same year Mom gave birth to my sister Kira. In 1990, to my sister Kristy
was born. The next year went on to Swansboro Elementary School .....

Personal Writing: My Friend's Death From AIDS
.... aside for research, you will not find a cure
in half the time. The billions that are currently allocated to AIDS
research are sufficient if they are used properly. I would try to put
pressure on the legislators to have a bill passed that would define the
ways money should be spent, and to monitor the progress of finding a cure
for this deadly disease.
Second and more importantly is the matter of education. AIDS is not
just a gay issue, it is a problem that affects everyone of us. The message
of educating .....

Personal Writing: Good Art
.... see it in the theater, but I heard that it was a pretty cool movie. We
sat there and watched it and when it was done I was in awe. All I could
say was “that is the best movie in history!”
In my mind, the movie was perfect. It was full of everything that
I like in a movie. It had mystery, suspense, and most of all it was a
thriller. I got to try to figure out who the killer was and as it turned
out, there was actually two killers which made it even better. Another
thing that was good about it was that .....
