.... difficult to view an elderly person living by herself with nobody to help her out. My family and I voluntarily felt inclined to donate our time to making her life easier when we saw she had nobody to care for her. She always had a caretaker that would help her with her daily tasks that she would pay lots of money to each day. I was skeptical the first time she asked me to stay with her, because of school, but I decided I would do it to be charitable. I would go over there at 6:30 each evening and leave at 6:30 each morning. I started in October, if I recall correctly. After that second night, weeks went by. Each night was desolat .....

.... watching or grading me. I must discipline myself to keep my focus and maintain a positive outlook that is sometimes difficult in the life of a teenager. I determine my performance by my attitude. No one ever gets anywhere by being negative. I also make sure that I involve myself with people and an environment that will help me, instead of bring me down. The most important reason why I do not fail regularly is because When I do fail, I learn from it. I admit to and make myself accountable for my mistakes and failures. I can not improve if I do not feel I do anything wrong. Sometimes I learn more from failing then I do from s .....

.... but; I felt a huge pain from deep within my heart. There was nothing to fear and nothing was going wrong so I spent a lot of time in my mother's arms. After a while at the house my father had to call work to see how everything was going. He was on the telephone for a while but that always happened during family occasions. As the day ended we packed up our things and headed for home. It was a great feeling to be loved on this day by all and I thanked everybody a million times for all the wonderful gifts that I received. As I walked into the house I wished everybody a goodnight and then I went on my way to a night of rest. T .....

.... lick her boots, I tried my best to be my natural self in front of her. Still, I could not shake off the ice-cold image that she possessed in my heart. True, her corney jokes sometimes sent me into frolicking laughter, yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she uttered them. My lovely class, however was always ready to laugh at the right time and place of her amusing stories. Afterall, we would not want to run the risk of her temper erupting in front of us like Mount Saint Helens spewing molten rock and breathing fire. Alas, life was not to remain boring and nondescript. One day we recieved news that Miss Vi .....

.... they got a bus number 47 to go to Jim Thomson's house. Then we arrived in there about 16.30 pm. Before I reached the Thai home, I felt strange and had a question again that why the beautiful teak house was surrounded by many cement buildings and was located on the end of a long Soi. I didn't appreciate it. Although, after I rested and sat for a while under the floor of Thai home, I felt fresh, warm and relax because of the greenish atmosphere from many plants that are in the garden. Virginia, my friends and I waited a while after we had paid the entrance fee 50 baht per person. Then we began to set a group for going in Thai Hom .....

.... were both asleep. That was thier next mistake. Now like most people Doctor Bleed just had to get his drink of water in the middle of the night or or or .......Well thats funny I dont think that he has ever not had his refreshing drink of water in the middle of the night. Oh well, I sure hope he gets it. Like normally the Doctor woke up at about 2:00 A.M., now with the doctor not knowing the house he just took off in any old direction which he should not have done because he did not know what he was about to get himself into. As the doctor roamed the inn he started to swear like a mad man because he still could not find any w .....

.... the worlds best. “Dad look it finally came!” I shouted. My dad looked at me with silly grin and said “Well you knew it was coming, you won your 25th race last month.” As I stood there with a smile bigger than the sun on my face I said “I know but I am still excited about it. Just think I will be racing side by side with Damon Bradshaw and Kevin Windham.” He just smiled and patted me on the back as I turned and walked to my room. I sat dreaming of the race I will enter next month. I had no idea what was in store for me at this spectacular event. As D-day drew nearer my mind overflowed with anticipation. I gath .....

.... guess the fellow in the car still thought I had a problem because he pulled his truck up, got out, and got up in my face. What were you sayin' to your friend just now? You talkin' sh*t? Listen man, I said, it's cool, there's no pee on my car! Well I think you two still gots a problem over here. With that he proceeds to throw one of their empty beer bottles on the ground and then one at my car. We argue some more and then his friend gets up in Ryan's face. Just when I think this guy is calmed down he goes over to my car and pushes a shopping cart into the right rear quarter panel. By this time I had lost it, this guy was g .....

.... years, Cinderella, is still as codependent as ever. In fact, the sin of Cinderella is her ongoing, untreated codependency. Where has Cinderella been this past decade? Why has she been in denial while the rest of America worked on its’ inner child, adult child and dysfunctional family issues? It’s clear she’s missed John Bradshaw’s series, "The Family." Obviously, she hasn’t boned up on codependency, let alone, women who love too much. If Cinderella had stayed current, she wouldn’t be covered with ashes, still trying to please an impossible parent. In fact, she might not be marrying the Prince. It’s cry .....

.... was also a coach for my travel team and All-Star team. He asked me to play for the travel team, called the Devlin Team and I accepted, always eager to play as much baseball as possible. I had a good season with the Devlin team that year, and my two coaches were Mr. Keubler and Mr. Seabright. They were also going to coach the All-Star team. At the end of my intramural season, All-Stars tryouts began. My coach, Mr. Keubler suggested that I try out for the team. That made me ecstatic, and I was starting to get excited. I made it through the first few tryouts with ease. The other players were good, but I was keeping up no probl .....
