... for about one year. My aunt living in the United States decided to bring my family to the United State, so we made the long and tuff struggle to America. We went to the Philippine Island for six months so that were medically prepared to go to the United States. After six months we were given a departure date. During these times, my parents struggle to keep us alive through any means. They wanted us to have a future, an education and a good job. After years of hard work, I am on my way to achieving my goals and in the process, my parent’s goals. I graduated from High School and I am a freshman in the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth in the College Now program. I am plannin ...

... because of the cigarette's strong smell. It was a small offence to my friends, a big one to my parents and an eye opener for me. My father was raged, my mother was crying, and I saw that they actually cared about my doings. They were concerned for me after all. With a hint of tears in his eyes, my father turned to my weeping figure and asked once again, in a warm voice, "Why did you do it?" As I began to reveal my feelings, my mother hugged me and healed where it hurt the most. I guess I did it to get their assurance of love for me. ...

... I had been warned couple of times about me being late. Luckily the bus too was late as usual. As I was boarding the bus I looked up for a vacant seat. What I saw then was quite unbelievable. Instead of looking for an empty seat I was perving on a beautiful woman. She looked to be in her early 20s. The most outstanding feature she had was her attractive blue eyes. Her clear eyes did really amaze me. She had fair smooth skin and shiny blond hair. I have never seen any one so beautiful in my whole life. I looked at her clear blue eyes again, but this time I realised that they were staring right back at me. I was really embarrassed. All I managed to do was to smile. When I did, she smiled ba ...

... in the house. What they didn't see was the cat who crawled under the table. When they are finished Mr. Smith says "I'll go and change to a suit and you can maybe take on a long dress and your finest jewellery you have". At last the chief and his wife are here and Mrs. Fowler has flowers to give to Mrs. Smith. I'll wish they welcome to our home and introduce my wife to Mr. and Mrs. Fowler. Then we go into the dining room, but what is that. The salmon is gone. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are horrified and Mr. and Mrs. Fowlers don't know what to say. Mrs. Smith begins to cry and Mrs. Fowler tries to comfort her. I run like hell down to the Fish'n Chips and bought some food ther ...

... to lose my lunch," replies a bald, fat, sorry, weight impaired lady behind the counter. "Well, what will it be?" "What will what be?" "Hello? Are there any connected synapses here? Tradition says that now is the time you tell me what you would like to order. Then I respond by telling you how much money shall exchange hands and you wait for a thumb twiddling long time for us to get your food." Pointing his finger, Dorko says, "Well then I will acquire one of those, that, this, and some of these." Having lost her patience many a minute ago, the lady says, "Look dork, ..." "That's Dorko." Confusion sets in. "Look Dorko Oh, as much as I like to listen to you ...

... of fish, salt, people, and water all mixed into one. I continue to run until I reach the water's edge where the waves crash upon the beach, making the white sand brown and hard. I sit down on the sand, panting after my enormous effort. Something troubling pulls at the edge of my mind, but I ignore it. A wave rolls up to the beach, crashing around me, wetting me hot body. I dig my body into the moistened ground, covering my legs and arms with the cool, wet sand. I hear my mom calling to me to come up to the umbrella. I turn back to look at her, as I do so the little thing at the edge of my mind suddenly dawns on me. I made it out to the water, now I must make my way back. ...

... to. On this particular day the sun was shining down, warming the earth and lake, so many children played on the wooden swing set. From where I stood on the path, I could hear their cheerful shouts, but could not see them. What I could see was the old man’s face. He had strong features: a broad nose, deep-set eyes, and pronounced cheekbones. They had all sunken into a deep sea of wrinkles over the years. You could tell that he had once been a handsome young man. He was of an average height, but appeared taller as he sat with a ramrod straight back. His eyes were an aquatic blue color, like the water off of the coast of Puerto Rico. His hair was receding and had turned a pure whi ...

... killed him. Everyone was dead when the police got to the Island. Nobody could figure out what happened. The police did not find any suicide notes and searched the island a couple of times. The police found no-one in hiding and were left open- mouthed and clueless. Fred Narracott was the boatman who took everyone to the island on his boat. As he told the police, as far as he knew he was the only one who had taken anyone over to the Island. General Macarthur, loved war and was disappointed when he had to stop fighting on the battle grounds. War was his life. He loved the smell, the sounds and the feel of battle. In fact he craved to kill again. Helpless, the guests on the i ...

... the Koran. Amina likes to draw the patterns and she is no more confused. Next day at school, they're all going to draw nice Christmas cards.

The teacher tries to behave nice and convinces Amina that she will put Amina's picture next to the others'. During the two discussions the teacher and Amina are having, the teacher is having a hard time justifying what she is actually doing. She gives no particular reason for telling Amina t ...
