If RMS Titanic did not sink, it would still make history for being one of the largest cruise liners to sail the oceans.…
I remember day after day going to swimming lessons in the summer of 2002 at the Mount Vernon pool. Almost every day I walked by the ladder that seemed to go on forever. I used to sit on the pools edge and watch the older kids do flips and other cool tricks off of the high dive. Many times I had gotten half way up the ladder but couldn't bring myself to go all the way up. For a seven year old going off the high dive was like a right of passage and a way to be seen as "cool" in the eyes of the older kids. Today I will be telling you about the first time a braved the high dive.…
Despite non-selection, my pursuit of this prestigious and challenging position will not be deterred. My naval career, I have continually sought positions of greater responsibility and produced exceptional results in each of those positions. While I take great pride in being a Chief Petty Officer, I feel the experience I have acquired as a Chief will benefit any wardroom I am a member of. It is important to note that I did not submit an LDO-CWO package for FY-14 due to the time constraints I experienced while standing up Naval Beach Unit SEVEN with an under staffed office and operational commitment.…

I vividly remember the day of the Challenger Disaster. I was five years old and in kindergarten. My teacher, Ms. Epton, brought us outside to watch the shuttle launch; something many kids have to watch on television, but those of us living on the coast got to witness firsthand. I remember seeing the fiery glow of the shuttle, the gasps by the adults, and quickly being hurried back into the classroom. Not much was said about what had happened, it was not until later that I fully understood.…

If the Titanic wasn’t created, the historical event of its sinking would be forgotten or would be only a faint memory of what happened that day. The most acknowledgement the event would receive is maybe, two or three pages in a history text-book. Everyone knows the story, that on April 15…

A North Atlantic iceberg sideswiped Titanic and made many scratches, holes, dents, and scrapes. The collision happened below the water line and that made sea water all rush in. The crew aboard sent out distress signals and raged to see how much damage was made, but it was too late. The Iceberg had already filled up five watertight compartments in less than 10 minutes. The lifeboats on the Titanic were only enough for about half of the passengers. It took about 2 hours for the whole ship to sink and around the last 20 minute mark the vessel broke in half. The ship went down in two parts, first the bow then the stern. The ship sank pretty fast because the Titanic had 34,000 kg of meat, 5,000 kg of fish, 40,000 eggs, over a ton of coffee, 40 tons of potatoes and 2,700 kg of butter…

It felt like forever waiting but I finally got it a combat knife and lots of money to spend so I went to Walmart and bought just about everything…
I was only 5 years old when I entered to my first soccer team and I was also very short, my coach use to call me “el chaparro” which in english means “The short guy”. My parents didn’t force me to play, I wanted to play on my own. I wanted to play because when my dad took me to a soccer game at the Philadelphia Union Stadium I saw a famous soccer player named Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez, he signed my shirt and told me “Tu vas aser un gran futbolista.” which means “You’re going to be a great soccer player.”, and that’s what inspired me to play soccer. I joined my first soccer team because when I first saw my uncle play it made me want to play, my dad took me to play soccer at a soccer field and I loved it, and also because Javier “Chicharito”…
In the year 1912, the tragedy of the “Unsinkable” R.M.S (Royal Mail Steamer) Titanic occurred, but why? According to www.historyonthenet.com, there are many possibilities why the Titanic has an early grave, 12,500 feet under water, resting at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Historians have argued over the possibilities ever since the incident had occurred. They believe the Titanic sank because of human error. Three of the many human errors that occurred on April 14,1912, are first of all Captain Smith. Second,the seaman. And third, Captain Lord.…
