Personal Writing: Getting My Driver's License
.... I was very eager
to get my license and start driving on my own. It took the instructor
about three weeks to finally have the completion slips signed and ready for
us to take.
The day after they were ready, I got my completion slip and left to
get my driver's license and a new computer (I was actually more eager to
get the computer that day). We go to the mall and all I had to do was take
an eye exam!! I was very surprised, I figured I would at least have to take
a written test over the material cover .....

Personal Writing: Results Of My Grammar Retest
.... were inadequate.
I feel that I should have studied much more. I reviewed the test and
added up how many mistakes I had and in which areas I had difficulty. It
turns out, that most of my mistakes came on verbs. I come to a
conclusion that the test I took was not studied hard enough for and next
time to spend more time studying.

it were warm enough outside she would crumble up some bread and feed it a

everything imaginable; she was known as the neighborhood gossip queen. The
sundeck was a place for everyone to sit and relax in the warm sunny breeze.

discussing their individual jobs, realized how unhappy they were with their
jobs.
They wondered what would happen if things didn't improve. How would
they take care of their families if everyone continued to leave Lamron and
there wouldn't be any use for the arrows?
Apparently, many of the local Lamronians were unhappy living in
Lamron and were moving away. They had found that other nearby towns did not
charge as much for th .....

Following A Dream Toward Freedom
.... Everyday they live in fear for their lives.
If its not being threatened by their own government its being threatened by the
lack of food they receive. Imagining the things they go through everday makes me
wonder about my freedoms. Why is it that I can go to my refrigerator whenever I
want and be able to get a nice, clean drink of water. When Meanwhile in some

to a lake where the animals bathe to get a foul, disease infested dr .....

Creative Writing: Haunted Mansion
.... and heard someone yelling and pleading. I grew scared but then noticed
it wasn't a person. It looked like a hologram, but you could see and hear
him. He seemed to be pleading for his life. I could not see whom he was
talking to, but I don't think it was a person. The man was balding and
looked like he was in his upper forties. He was saying, "I am sorry for
coming into your house. I thought it was empty. Please! Please! Let me go.
I won't say anything; I didn't see you murder him. No! Don't! Ahhhhhhh!

Personal Writing: I Love Horror Novels
.... --
As to where I get my ideas from for my sick excursions, I sincerely do
not know. Like Stephen King (who got the idea to write IT when looking off
of a bridge) I seem to receive my mad phantasms out of thin air. For
example, when I first began writing the first draft of this essay, I
started out writing about writing horror stories and ended up writing a
short story about a vampire in London. It is safe to say I get ideas out
of thin air.
When I do capture the intangible, I literally fe .....

so could I. She took me to "Home Depot" in Orange Park and picked out her
new kitchen cabinets. I was a little unsure about this kitchen cabinet
thing, but the salesman assured us that the entire project would be a
"turn key" installation. The salesman asked me if I wanted them to
deliver the materials. I declined his offer because I could do it myself
and save money. So, I waited for a nice clear day to go back to pick up
everything. .....

Personal Writing: Teacher On Trial For Teaching Religion In School
.... then he would've not just read the stories from
the book of Genesis. The stories that he read were not religious scriptures,
but just plain old common stories.
Even if it was a religious scripture, what did this man do wrong?
Would you say taking stories from a religious book teaching religion? I
wouldn't think so. I would see it as taking parts of stories and
criticizing about them. What did he criticize about the book? Was it the
holy scriptures? No, it was the technique of how it was writt .....

Personal Writing: Learning About Myself

to do. That afternoon they might have been wondering exactly what they
should expect.
I did not want to go to the top of the mountain. It would take a
long time, and we wanted to go shopping and head back to our cabin before
it got too late. I walked into the woods and soon I was beside a lake
totally enveloped in fog. I was facing a rock wall. The blue dots on the
wall indicated that the trail went straight up. Wonderful memories rushed

Personal Writing: Letter To The Future From 1996

shotgun license. Just recently there has been an outcry for a ban on
privately owned handguns after the Dunblain massacre, which was when a
lunatic broke into a school and gunned down a class of children and their
teacher. It was tragic. The shooting I do is just for sport and is well
supervised., this handgun ban could also bring a tightening on getting a
shotgun license so it would be harder to get one. I shoot what is called
