McGraw says he's been working on a studio album for over a year now, performing new tracks on tour and hoping to release the new album in the fall. But now he'll have to hold off on that. McGraw tells his fans, "In the spirit of the election year, I would simply say to my fans 'I'm Tim McGraw and I don't approve their message.'" Especially since the album was produced without
Sleep is my only refuge from the harshness of the desert at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. However, when my commander Lieutenant Colonel Paul Yingling yells “Trahan wake up” that harshness startles me to attention. Briefly, I slipped into my uniform and secured the driver’s seat of our Humvee, in frustration my commander states the location we needed to achieve. The drive was lengthy and tedious, once we arrived to our endpoint, I spotted a gangly old gentleman; his stare was lethal and intimidating. “Get out of the truck” screeches the timeworn man, it was our brigade commander, Yingling’s overseer.
Module 1 Discussion High School Speech It has been twelve years since I graduated High School; however, sometimes I wish I was still sitting in the bleachers and actually paying attention to the speeches that were presented to me. I would like to share you a few lessons that I have learned over the years. Two weeks after my graduation, I decided to join the United States Navy. This decision was based on the fact that the Navy offered me a College Fund and the opportunity to travel the world. To put this into perspective, the day I left for boot camp was the first time I boarded an airplane.
An example of some of the things that George Henderson says in his paper about poverty is, “Poverty is staying up all night on' cold nights to watch the fire knowing one spark on the newspaper covering the walls means you’re sleeping child dies in flames. In summer poverty is watching gnats and flies devour your baby's tears when he cries.” In the novel Enrique’s Journey, by Sonia Nazario poverty is everywhere, some places are just worse than others like families living in shacks, only being able to eat one meal a day. These authors and others are pointing out an indisputable fact. Poverty is everywhere and everyone needs to be doing something about it. Sonia Nazario describes a very graphic picture of children without one or any parents, food, shelter, and clothing, which many Americans choose to ignore and go about their business like it doesn’t happen here and around the world.

With just three weeks notice before she had to leave, Virgina at 22 years old, and fresh out of college, learned she’d been chosen by the military to teach on the Sidi Salam Air Force Base in Morocco. She was excited to receive the good news and to travel abroad for the first time. She’d be one of twelve teachers who’d educate the children of the families who lived on the strategic base. Although it seems like an overwhelmingly big step to take, for her to move from her house in Roslindale away from her family to spend a year in a new country with new people and to live a new way of life, Virginia never seemed to express any major trepidation. In leaving, she admitted to being nervous and a little scared, but it was evident that she was more excited, and most of all, mentally prepared to embark on such a life-changing adventure.
I cannot speak for the others on that bus that morning, but I had retreated inside myself. I was scared, and searching for that courage that I had left at the guard shack just a little while ago. As the bus pulled up to the old style rounded hut barracks and stopped, I could see out the windows, there were five very angry looking Drill Instructors lined up and waiting to welcome us to Parris Island. Parris Island, South Carolina: the premier Marine Corps recruit training faculty in the world. A patch of ground that is only about a foot above sea level, surrounded by water on all four sides and completely useless for anything else in the whole wide world, except training
Separate is Not Equal Separate is Not Equal Imagine being a black woman. It is late at night and you just got off your shift of being a nurse. Waiting for the bus, you are eager to sit down and rest your feet until you make it home. As you get on the bus, the only available seat is up front behind the bus driver. As you sit down, the bus stops to pick up someone else.
Stand at attention in rain and snow forbidden to talk or move, some prisoners have been known to drop dead right there from sickness, fatigue or malnourishment. The days in camp are filled with exhausting work, little food and water and a chance of being beaten or killed for just about any reason. When waking up at 4 a.m. in the morning, the first thing the prisoners would have to face is seeing all the people that didn’t make it through the night and then pray that someone didn’t steal their shoes. If someone took their shoes and they couldn’t find any that would fit they would be severely beaten or killed because they would not be able to work. Once they find their shoes, they would
I had it everything: a house, a job, my family, a fiancée; but different social and family situations take me out of my nest and sent me to fly to a different world. The so famous United States! Who would it though it? Hah! I don’t think that any of my classmates would it believe that I was living here; but not so long after I got here I realized that I was lost: I didn’t understood the
