My worst moment wasn’t an “everyday” worst moment. My worst moment was the last time I talked to my little cousin, Rishi-Yuvaraj Nieves Thakkar. Born on February 22, 1992 and left us devastated June 1, 2012. This is how it began Rishi and I live in different states, but very close when we were younger. I moved to better the life of my daughter, instead of staying in New York. The way me and most of our families stood connected was by playing video games online with each other. Rishi was the youngest out of all the cousins; he was only Twenty years old. We decided the morning of his death June 1, 2012 for all the cousins to get on as a team and have fun together, so we basically had a whole team of cousins playing random people online and we were all together playing Modern Warfare 3. We were all on having fun talking trash to each other and the opposing team, it came to a point later on that morning that most of our cousins had to leave, so Rishi and I stood on to continue with the fun, and to catch up on things there was a point where we had lunch while we were playing as a lunch date just to stay on and communicate. We stayed on now more towards the evening; maybe around 7:30pm he told me he was hungry. He went to fry rice and make ice tea, I told him that wasn’t good for him because he is a diabetic but he told me he was okay. Little did I know they told me he hasn’t been taking his medication, but he still insisted that he was fine, so I said okay. Later on that night he and I were still talking, laughing and playing with our friends I had to get off because I had to go to work the next morning. I told him, I’ll see you tomorrow and we’ll play some more when I get out of work, and he told me ok. I get off the game and get my stuff for the next day and head to sleep, close to midnight or 1:00am, I get a call that woke me out my sleep I felt something was wrong before I

    One theory in Jared Diamond s Collapse is that soil degradation and erosion leads to insufficient agriculture and a society s demise. In Timothy Egan s The Worst Hard Time, he sets forth in specific and excruciating detail exactly what Diamond outlines in Collapse. Only Egan s book isn t theoretical. It isn t a survey of what s happened in other countries. It s about the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. It s about what happens, right here in the heart of America, when the land is misused, mistreated, and turns on those who depend on it.…

    1. The conditions in the economy before the Great Depression were rapidly increasing causing a huge growth in the city. Throughout the city new towns were appearing, and in these towns banks, opera houses, streetlights, and restaurants were being made (Chapter 1). “America was going on the greatest, gaudiest spree in history” according to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Basically the quality of life and business was immensely good at the time. The wheat industry was undoubtedly the way to go for those who wanted to earn large amounts of money (Chapter 1). People everywhere were enjoying the improvements in the economy including Faye’s father who bought her a three hundred dollar piano for her birthday, and was paying fifty-cents for each lesson. Frederick Folker took advantage of the uprising economy to buy a new dodge for the whole family (Chapter 2).…

    Then, I decided on something. I was old enough, I was ready, I needed to know who my dad was, if he was alive, or worst case scenario if he was dead. I was leaving the pep rally now. I was almost out of the school when I realized I didn't have a car to drive myself home, and my mom was picking me up at 8:00. I looked at my watch and looked at the time. It was only 5:00. Ugh! Then, I grabbed my phone. I knew what to do. I grabbed my phone and dialed a number I knew by heart. It was the number of my cousin, Dean. We had a crush on each other when we I was 5 and he was 8. However, when our parents told us that cousins weren't allowed to ever marry or have crushes on each other that crushed both our dreams. We said that the rules could be broken, but then a few years later our parents had a talk with us that said if cousins ever tried to have kids something goes wrong… blah, blah, blah. Then we quickly decided to just be friends. He’s a junior in High School, and most importantly he has a car. We have always been super close and we were BCF. (Best cousin’s forever.) I called him. Here’s how the conversation…

Most of the time I would prefer to see it. I am a very responsible person. I have always been the type, to plan in advance. I believe in making the mistake on my own and learn from it. I love to read, it relaxes me. When I am in class, I prefer if the instructor explains the assignment thoroughly.…

    In an instant, I was wide-awake. An asphyxiating, crushing pressure and dark, dank air felt like my only company. I was dying, or so every part of my being was telling me. The immense, clutching pains radiating from my chest to my jaw could be only one thing… a heart attack. I lay there silently, overwhelmed with crippling fear and panic; frozen, immobile, waiting for what my mind had deemed inevitable. Wait…the pain was beginning to ease. The powerful clutch of dread freezing me was beginning to weaken. My mind flooded with hope. I’m going to be okay.…

    Embarrasing Moment

    • 325 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I consider myself to be one who doesn't easily get embarrassed, but one of my most embarrassing moments happened this past summer. It all started when a few friends of mine decided that since it was incredibly hot out that summer day, that we should all go down to Tubbs hill for a swim. I’m not sure if you realize how busy downtown is during mid-summer season, but understand it’s almost always completely jammed full of people trying to fight off the blistering sun. So my friends and I hiked up the path to get a good spot to start jumping off the rocks and start swimming, but all the great spots were all full. We decided to just find a close spot and just deal with all the people in the area. Our day progressed as normally as you’d expect, and everyone was enjoying the water and how refreshing it was fighting off the heat of the day. Eventually everyone was starting to get bored jumping off the smaller rocks as well as just swimming around, so my friends decided we should start jumping off the higher rocks. Eventually it came to my turn to jump and I went for it. As I dived into the water I didn’t realize at the time the sheer pressure on my swim shorts, but once I broke the surface of the water for air it struck me. I had lost my swim shorts on the dive, so I was sitting in the water completely nude in front of all my friends and random strangers that were watching. I franticly searched for my swim shorts, but to no avail, they were lost. Eventually a friend brought me a towel so I could get out of the water and return home. I would have to say that this was one of the most extremely embarrassing moments I’ve had so far in my…
