.... be no sweat and easy to make it with me being one of the best, but I was sorely mistaken. The tryout was one of the hardest ordeals to go through at that time in my life, and I really got to see just what good soccer players played like. That first year I was one of the last kids to be called, and just barely made the team. I was the "scrub" of the group, I always sat the bench, and never started. I was the kid no one wanted to be stuck with in partner drills and the kid no one wanted to pick to fill up there team when we scrimmaged ourselves. I was the kid who had to pick it up or be cut from the team, something had to give. My fourth year on the team was like th ....

.... towards them and Jason closed his eyes, waiting for something bad to happen. Jason heard the cruel man ask Lucinda to see her ticket and then Lucinda said “my stepbrother is under six years old”. The train stopped again and almost every body hurried out. “Why are you in the train and where's your m other?” Lucinda asked. “My mother said that I was old enough to take care of my self. So my mother sat me on the train and said that if there came any of the cruel men I should hurry out, and I don't believe in Santa. But if you do he properly heard you lien, I'm 7” Jason said “Would you like to buy some christmaspresents with me?” Lucinda asked. “I don't kno ....

.... town market, and constructed buildings for a general contractor. As a sum of all this, Stanley's life sucked. He worked from dusk until dawn, stopping only to smoke a cigarette or a joint, (although Stan felt he smoked too much of both.) With this third job now beginning, his prospects seemed nothing but grim. In Stanley's mind, work was life and life was hard, so this is how work must be. He hated this thought, and therefore his own existence, which was his mind-set as he entered the doors of Holiday Lanes Family Recreation Center. Once inside, Stanley immediately asked the small, sheepish figure behind the shoe rental counter where Kyle was, and was given the re ....

.... in itself was the reason that Lori and I became as close as we are. During my years in high school, Lori was there in the same school ready to yell hello in a crowded hallway. At first, this was the most embarrassing thing that she could do to me, because other kids would tease me and ask if she was my girlfriend, just stupid shit that kids do. As time progressed I became more educated on why Lori acted the way she did. For me, the more I understood, the more patience and compassion I had for her and people like her. During my Junior and Senior years of school I took a class (with much prodding from Lori) which involved going into the special education classroom and hel ....

.... him. She was apprehensive about the future of them as husband and wife and also about the future of the shoe store. Jimmy was so sure of himself, that the next night, he had a document made that stated that in the event of a divorce, or the death of Jimmy, the shoestore would be completely owned by his wife, Annabelle. Two months later, Jimmy and Annabelle Spencer were married. That same day, Jimmy threw all his safe cracking tools over the bridge into a small stream. For three years everything went well. Their shoestore had great buiesness, They had 2 children, and they bought a beautiful home in the country. Everything was going well untill one day Annabelle woke up ....

.... to overcome these feelings. I am now more able to coupe changes in my life accompanied by similar kinds of unpleasant emotions. I have now more peace with myself than before. During my first week in the university I was so depressed that I seriously thought of leaving the university. Few weeks later I changed my mind and I recognized how much could I have regret this action if I had did it. This added to me the experience of ability to coupe with life either good or bad. In the University I still haven’t made any trustable friends and there was no one who could listen to me. I had no thoughts or imagination for my future however now I have a dream that I am trying to accom ....

.... 3 years ago. She lived on Earth in Los Angles, California, her dad had to move here because he worked at an oil refinery and it was moved to . Cathy got o school and her friends Joe and Chris were already waiting for her. They said at the same time "There's a pop quiz in math today!" "How do you know?, said Cathy. " We heard Mr. Biller talking about it to another teacher." "I'm going to fail!"exclaimed Cathy. Cathy hated math, probably because she had it first hour. Cathy was having a bad day, she got 1 out of 50 right on the math test. From then on it was downhill all day. Until science her science teacher was going crazy about the explosion of Earth. She found ....

.... bungee cord. Our minds were very similar in the way we questioned things around us. "Kyle, what would happen if we tomatoed the Dahlman's house?" Ryan asked as we sat on the curb, both of us sucking on a frozen Mr. Freezie juice strip. We sat there for awhile, imagining the old man, stomping out the screen door with his fist raised and yelling at us, threatening to call our mother. Eventually he'd go back inside after he realized he couldn't find us, even though we were crouching behind the nearby pines at the edge of his yard. Still waiting at least ten more minutes (to see if the old crab would emerge from his door) Ryan and I would plan our escape route. ....
