... accomplished something. This is good because many kids have to live up to expectations that they can't attain, or do something that they don't really enjoy in order to make their parents proud. The problem with saying "as long as you do you best" is that when I know I could have done a better job, I have a sort of guilty feeling. I hate it when I get a mediocre mark or fail in something and my parents say "as long as you tried your hardest." It gets quite annoying when I second guess myself about what I could have done. However, when I know I did the work as well as I could and it isn't a good mark, I don't wo ...

... being raised by parents that grew up in the fifties, I figured why not stay with this girl for a while. Thinking the old fashioned way, of course within two months I had no gorlfriend. At this point I realized that there is going to be many more relationships. With my second relationship when I was about seventeen it acually lasted about six months.In June it ended,summertime, which made me think that I really didn't know anything about the opposite sexiven after those two relationships. Finding out two years later that my best fiend had gotten together with her didn't bother me only because two years had ...

... greeted him warmly and asked him to come right in out of the cold. He thanked the old man and asked if they had a phone and if so could he use it. He said he didn't believe in that new technology. By this time his wife walked in and introduced herself as Beth Jones, and her husband as Bob. He said he had better get going, but Mrs. Jones objected saying "You stay right here until the storm clears." He said he couldn't possibly impose himself. He then turned back to the memory or him walking across that cold muddy field. He shuddered. Mrs. Jones broke into his thoughts and said he could walk to the neighbors ...

... The humans labeled these sticks "cigarettes" and appear to be happy and carefree when they are "smoking" them. In this illustration, there seems to be two species of mankind: males and females. The males seem to be physically superior and raw. The females appear to be sexy, seducing, and physically prepared. There also seems to be a strong sexual attraction between the two species. The setting in this picture is very relaxing and seems to be a place of excitement for the jovial humans. Cigarettes appear to be a source of absolute happiness. Another source of satisfaction for the humanoids are bottles of ...

... had returned to their home team. They stood about 5’6�, and were very skillful and tricky with the ball. Trevor Thorne, a six-foot plus striker, had an uncanny ability to get the ball in the back of the net with either his head or one of his powerful shots. Empire also boasted of a formidable defense partnership, with their sweeper and goalkeeper, who both had international experience. By contrast, our team had no current national players. In the dressing room, I found all of my teammates already preparing for the game. The room was small and poorly lit. The captain was taking us through all kinds of stretching e ...

... a 99.7% grade for this massive project. My determination is what dove me to its completion. My determination also is extremely important at my part -- time job. My job is to sell computers and many other business machines. Selling the computers and peripherals was not a problem, but when I started working I knew almost nothing about fax machines and copiers. I was determined to learn about these new machines so I read the magazines and listened to the representative to learn about the machines. My determination is what helped me to learn about these products so that I could share my information with the custom ...

... for my seat. The aroma of beer and freshly roasted peanuts from the concession stands drifted towards me, and intensified my hunger pains. I noticed in the Dairy Queen booth a heavenly looking vanilla sundae, mounded with plump, juicy strawberries, and perfectly round indigo blueberries-it made my mouth salivate, and I knew that I had to taste one. As I edged toward my seat, I noticed Little Ceasars advertising grease puddled on top pepperoni pizza and a frothy mug; emersed with crisp cold beer…this teased my temptation. With only a few dollars left, and my arms filled with delectable treats, I fin ...

... of me becoming a doctor and although their enthusiasm continued throughout my childhood and early adolescence, mine slowly diminished; until finally I realized I did not want to become a doctor. I remember how hard it seemed to tell my parents of my decision, I felt as if I was letting them down, but I eventually came to realize that they wanted me to do what made me happy. I am not definite why I changed my mind in regard to being a doctor, I had the grades, the drive, and the willingness to make certain sacrifices, but somewhere I was missing something and I felt that I would not be satisfied in a medical career. ...

... again. {Moving to our next ride}, we saw Demon Drop, the newest and most intimidating ride at the park. It takes you straight up in the air about 300 feet and then drops at about 65 miles per hour. We all made excuses not to go on. {Beating down upon our backs}, all we wanted to do was find some shade from the sun and get something to eat. So we went into a pizza place and ate. After dinner we went on all our favorite rides. As we were walking around all of our friends were asking us if we rode Demon Drop. Instead of getting ridiculed the whole way home, we decided to ride it. We had just enough time. {St ...

... mother had a little pot full of it.. The freshly painted walls were covered with portraits of family members and friends, which hung neatly in their fancy wooden frames. The fibers of the recently vacuumed carpet stood at attention displaying how clean they were. The varnished oak coffee-table glistened as the moonlight shined through the crystal clear window reflecting off its soft glossy finish. All the furniture was aligned perfectly with the symmetry of the room, like a life size geometry proof. My mother's knickknacks were arranged neatly in their proper order on top of the entertainment center. All of our ...
