James began again saying, “I grabbed them and my whole family and we sat on the roof.” He finished the rest of his story, telling us that they had to go to the Superdome for shelter. It was not very safe there, so he took his family and they sought shelter with relatives. The other girls and I held back tears as we listened. He told us about how people were still trying to rebuild their homes, and most were just making it by. The bus pulled up and we hugged the men goodbye, thankful for the humbling experience they offered us that day.
On December 21st, 1989 there was a crane that started removing a section of the Berlin Wall near Brandenburg gate. The East German Regime announced on television and the radio that they will be opening ten new border crossings the following weekend. Crowds on both sides waited there for hours cheering at the bulldozers who took parts of the Wall away to reclaim old roads. The Wall remained guarded for some time after November 9th, though at much less intense levels. In the first months the East German military even tried to repair some of the damages
Medha Sarma Tuesdays with Morrie Eulogy Morrie once said, “dying is only one thing to be sad over... living unhappily is something else.” Morrie Schwartz was a remarkable person, a wonderful husband, a loving father and an amazing professor. His loving personality has touched the lives of many people around him, including his students, family and friends. During our lessons in the weeks before his passing, he managed to change my whole life and my outlook of the world. I knew Morrie was different, the I met him, 16 years ago on the very first day of class. Right off the bat, he said, “ I hope that one day, you think of me as your friend.” And let me tell you, Morrie was a lot more than just a friend to me.
Robert D. Flores Mrs. Trager English 3 CP 30 April 2012 Dear Diary, 1947. Today I completed the prerequisite towards becoming a Los Angeles Homicide Detective. After enduring months of incense training and working conditions, my body is trembling with excitement. After returning home from the war, I could see myself in a police uniform enforcing justice and liberty throughout Los Angeles. It seems to be the only thing that makes sense in this crazy world full of so much injustice and at times it feels overpowering.
Blue and white filled the streets with football fans praising the Giants for their victory in the Super Bowl. The enthusiasm from the fans appeared to be pulsating as if the streets, itself, had a heartbeat. After an extremely chaotic morning and several beers later, my stomach began to growl obnoxiously. To wind down such a festive day in the Big Apple, my husband and I decided to have dinner at Carmine’s in the Theatre District. Three criteria must be met for my husband and me to have an amazing dining experience.

I forget how many levels of the ship there were, but it seemed like a lot because by the time we got to the top it seemed like we had been walking through it forever. Getting to the top was pretty cool because they had a lot of old jet planes up there and we were able to sit in some of them and take pictures. At the end of the day, I remember being very worn out from all the walking around. After all the nice, fun, and relaxing days in California our weekend vacation came to end and we all had to head back to Arizona. Keep in mind, we are still driving the minivan until we reach Yuma again and can pick up the SUV that was being worked on.
The summer before my junior year I experienced the best week of my life. Deep in the beautiful mountains of Colorado about 12 hours away is a place called Frontier Ranch, a Young Life camp. The excitement and overwhelming happiness before getting on the bus for the long ride is what keeps us all sane. As I say goodbye to my parents and friends staying home, the only thing I can think about is having the opportunity to get away for a week: without a phone, computer, or television and growing in my relationships not only with my friends but with Jesus as well. After the long 12 hour drive I can feel the suspense and and thrill all around me.

She actually gave us punishment for two day by not going outside for fun because of my bad sign language and I told her we refuse to clean and we continue with our playing then left the worst all mess up in living room and somewhere in other wing
Community is held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and is mandatory for all residents. These meetings are used to remind the men of their support, but also hold each other accountable for any wrong doing. Once the meeting starts roll-call is taken and everyone is greeted with “good morning” by everyone in attendance, even us visitors. This part was a little awkward for me because I was the only female in a group of 80 plus men, but everyone was very welcoming and open to tell their stories. After roll-call, the men’s director, Steve Hanks, ask the group if there are any issues, this is where the men admit to any missed job assignments, inappropriate behavior, or problems with other residents.
