I was lying on the couch with Ivy on top on me when Shay burst through the front door. I nearly through her off my and into the coffee table, I was so startled. “Get up!” Shay came over, grabbed my shoulder, and pulled me into a standing position. His eyes were a dangerously dark shade of black and he was physically shaking from anger. “Shay, what’s going on?” I demanded as I positioned Ivy behind me. She gripped tightly onto my right hand while I held my other hand outstretched just in case…

Rule #2 – Sadly I have walked past people one several occasions without acknowledging them. I like to equate it to my quietness but really I do not want to inconvenience myself because it would take longer if I stop to talk with them than if I simply continued walking as if I never saw them. I guess that for the same reason I guess I do not want to talk to them also because talking to them could inconvenience me, but if they started talking to me, I would be more than happy to talk to them. I do…

In Indian education system, students have to study a specific set of subject even if they are not good at it or not interested in it. For instance me, I had to study a subject in which I wasn 't interested since I was a kid, which was computer science.

As I was at a critical stage (class11), with a heavy heart, I had to choose a course in…
Today is the day that my team and I had been working on all season. It’s competition day. Now this year I feel we have a good chance. We have been practicing non-stop from the sun up to sundown; there was no such thing as downtime. We had an awesome dance routine and one of the best crowd-pleasers around. But to top it off we had a killer stunt at the end that was sure enough going to win us first place. “Alright, ladies. It is time for everyone to get up and get dressed.” My coach said as…

Neither of them knew how well Johnny would be able to balance on his own quiet yet and felt it would be better to be safe than sorry. “Alright, Johnny,” Dave explained as he moved the wheelchair around. “I’m going to put the wheelchair a few steps away and once we have the footrest here moved, we’ll have you…
It had been two weeks and a half into a wonderful vacation in the Outer Banks, North Carolina. It was excellent and I didn’t want it to end. My parents told me to pack up all my items from our three-story beach house we shared with my twenty-four cousins. I didn’t want to leave. I only saw my family on the east coast once a year and I just didn’t want to leave them behind and have that time come to an end. And the part that made it the hardest was that I wasn’t going to be seeing them for two…
