Number of Words: 403 / Number of Pages: 2
... 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 our children on drugs appears to be working. The same should
be done about AIDS. It is important for sex education to be taught in the
schools no later than the junior high school level. We as a count ...

he must draw strength, self-confidence, and a sense of security from within
himself and not rely on the people around him to fulfill these feelings because
they could not provide this for him. He must venture into the unknown, alone and
could only receive a limited type of security and support from home. Regardless

Personal Reflections
Number of Words: 2546 / Number of Pages: 10
... I have come to enjoy these types of cultural events. They have helped to shape who I am today.
How do you grieve someone you hardly knew, but who is supposed to mean so much?? I have postponed the grief some what through alcohol and drug use and avoidance. He did mean something to me because when we came home from school, in seventh grade, that day in January, I was shocked when Mom declared, "you're father is dead." What do you mean?! What happened?! What do you mean he's dead?! Then the tears started to come and the "oh my God's-" the utter shock. They told me it was a burglary but that is not what ...

Personal Writing: First Day At Oxford High School
Number of Words: 570 / Number of Pages: 3
... giants. Finding the rooms where my classes were being taught was like solving a maze. The building had three stories and each level had over twelve classrooms. I had a different teacher for each class, unlike Oxford Middle School where I had only a couple of teachers. The teachers did not seem as gentle and caring as the teachers did in middle school. I only had five short minutes to change classes. When the rapid, booming bell rang for one class to end, it was like rush hour traffic in the city as we moved to the next class. People would stomp over me if I did not get out of their way. The ...

Creative Writing: The Case Of The Broken Hutch
Number of Words: 5097 / Number of Pages: 19
... the employees at the store I started at were new to each other. That is

was hired when the manager went to his yearly manager meeting in Reno.
When I was hired I was hired on as a delivery driver. The delivery driver is
responsible for all of the deliveries and pick-ups of store merchandise. The
only training that I received were two videos. One video was on "Smith's Safe
Driving Techniques", and the other was "In-Home Deliveries and In-Store
Deliveries". Through working with the company I learned many new thing ...

What Family Is To Me
Number of Words: 441 / Number of Pages: 2
... My parents respected me enough to
tell me that I was adopted, instead of lying to me and having me find out
later in life that I wasn't their biological son. This respect that my
parents gave me, in turn gave me their trust. And I gave them the respect
and trust that was given to me.
Without sacrifice, a family cannot be. The sacrifices that family
members make for each other show the willingness to be an unselfish part of
a family. Sacrifices also display the love, respect and trust in a family.
I know that even though some of the time it may not seem that my parents
would sacrifice anything f ...

Personal Writing: My Big Problem
Number of Words: 602 / Number of Pages: 3
... But like I said I want to keep my
"Macho man, don't mess with me" reputation, which I feel strongly about.
Another thing I could do is simply help her whenever she does
anything wrong. But the problem is, she does practically everything wrong.
That can get very annoying, and could spark a match. And then I'm back to
square one. One other problem I have with this solution is that virtually
every time I try to talk to her, we get separated by my parents, who are
always expecting something, and are simply sick of all the garbage.
My third and final reasonable solution, would be to sit down with
her ...

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 beautiful and kind.

Especially if they wo ...

... Kyle
was a loner, and a struggling loner at that. "Good morning Kyle," said Joel.
"G' mornin'," mumbled Kyle in a saddened voice. Joel instantly sensed
that something was wrong and upon further questioning found that Kyle had lost
yet another one of his “bimbo” type girlfriends. Joel pretended to be sorry for
him for a while, then they spoke of work.
Kyle never really envied Joel's success or his life until that day. Kyle
was trying one the new reality simulators called "American Dream", which was a

... equipment. There are quite a few things you need to make candles. The first time I helped I only needed scissors, to trim the wicks, and newspaper to wrap the finished candles. As I got older, my tasks increased. Finally, I was able to prepare the molds, pour the wax and color the candles. The main supplies needed to make candles are: wax, molds, wax coated string (wicks), a large needle, dye, dye pots, pitchers, buckets, cooling pots, wooden rods, a griddle, blow torch, water tubs (we use feeding troughs for horses), drying racks, fans, shine, a large heating device to melt the wax, and like I ...
