College Experience

            The night before the big day, I went to bed earlier than usual; however, I was not able to sleep until twelve or so. Feeling extremely anxious like how I always am for something new. Bubbles began to form beneath the stars of my ceiling. Questions without answers were shooting thru my head quicker than bullets. Putting on low music with a couple or twist and turns, I finally fell asleep.

            First day of college for most people is more stressful than anything else because

First Vehicle

Infiniti G37

So we all know that our first cars are a bit special to every single one of us. Even if it were too embarrassed to be seen in it, or it was so full of rust holes that on rainy days you would realize that your clothes were not ruined by that almost torn in half seat but by water gushing out from the foot well.

First Job Experience

            During the beginning of my senior year in Aviation High School, I applied for a position at a local pharmacy and retail store, Duane Reade. Becoming a cashier and stocks personnel did not require much training or knowledge, after all I was young and capable of adapting to the environment. However, as a new employee, I was given a three months probation period as well as a few online drugs training exams.

CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2011

Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end.

They simply mean we'll miss you, until we meet again.

June 28, 2011, at 6pm the entire senior class paired up in twos and waited on line outside the hangar. The road was blocked, no sign of cars anywhere except the mini carts stands selling flowers, stuffed bears, balloons and other necessity for graduation. Parents, relatives, siblings, instructors were escorted by the student government to their seats.

Ernest Hemingway

Above is a Mini Bio about Ernest Hemingway

A Clean, Well-Lighted Place

"It was late and everyone had left the cafe except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light. In the day time the street was dusty, but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference. The two waiters inside the cafe knew that the old man as a little drunk, and while he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he would leave without paying, so they kept watch on him" (Hemingway,143). 

This particular part of the passage creates scenery of a distinctive night regarding an elderly man within few sentences. This man is being described as someone who drinks a vast amount of liquor during some nights while being deaf. This provides an image of how dark the place is with the normal looks of the streets of a regular day. The waiters providing their thoughts of the old man in their prospective in a place of the narrator; however, they aren’t the real narrator. Hemingway’s terminology is straight forward, giving a complete understanding of the story. The descriptive words he uses, gives an idea about the setting. Hemingway really captures the audience’s attention with his modern language as well as developing a scene for the story. As the story reaches the end, it notifies the reader of how the elderly man continues to act the same way as described in the beginning.

Mother and Children by the Sea

Mother and Children by the Sea

-Brigitte Leal

-Spencer Law

Mother dressed in ocean blue,

Iron child in orange.

Both walking barefooted,

dimly besides the sea.

The sound of waves,

whistling besides them.

Moral stories within the air,

Neither one weeping.

Holding his mother’s cloth,

being guided to the destination.

Knowing there is only right,

and no wrong.
