.... it came to practice. There was the drill sergeant type, which had the team line up in the same place every day to do our calisthenics before each practice. The team captain stood facing the rest of the team and lead us in various stretches and other warm-ups. The coach was very strict. No horse play or unnecessary talking or anything else we knew would make the coach mad. Coach would have us do drills having to do with the plays we ran during the game. If we made a mistake coach would stop us and make an example of whoever messed up. He would say, "Did everyone see what Bryan just did? That is what you should not do." He would then gripe a li .....

.... affairs has been encouraged by ROTC community service activities, through learning aabout leadership as a partisipant in the cadet chain of command, and from teachers at ________ who support our efforts to meet our goals. Encouraged by my interest in "Patton" and military strategies, my dad began to share his interest in military history as I grew older. This interest extended out to interest in battleships and battles. Family vcations were sometimes planned around visits to places such as the Russian fort, Fort Ross north of San Francisco. .....

.... in no certain order. It's a classic scenario. Over and over in my mind I envision myself going down there, screaming at him, telling him my mind, and slamming his door. That would feel great. I haven't done this yet, and probably won't. While reading the Bolton chapter, this scenario replayed itself over and over in my mind. Here is my revised strategy, which might just be used if the guy bothers me again. "When you leave your door open, I can hear your music in my room which makes if difficult for me to get school work done. I love music too, and certainly don't want you to not enjoy it, but please don't force others to 'enjoy' it with you. I n .....

.... via the Internet in hopes they will use my story in a future episode. This story is also available over the Internet on my home page so others can view it at their leisure. The idea for this story has been in the back of my mind before I was assigned this project. I have always loved the X-Files since it premiered and within the past year, I have submitted my stories, ideas, and suggestions to the writers of the X-Files. Unfortunately, none of my ideas have been selected. Lots of activity regarding the X-Files goes on over the Internet, and through discussions are where I get a lot of my ideas for the stories that I write. ============================ .....

.... The biggest problem in the States is pollution. Air pollution is at an all time high due to our stupidity. We could have stopped the production of cars and switched to HydroShoes, which run only off of water, like France and Germany did, but politicians felt it would be too drastic a change. Furthermore, President Bill Clinton decided to send all of our garbage into space in 1996 instead of recycling when he introduced Project No-Garbage. At first this was a good idea, but slowly, we noticed our atmosphere was full of milk cartons and banana peels! To clean up this mess, the public elected President Mick Jagger to deal with the environmental issues. .....

.... with us, while she lives in a separate apartment by herself in Glendale. My family and I used to eat lunch at her house every week. I remember trudging up the dank, squeaky stairs with my siblings, yelling "An- yang!!"(grandmother) all the way. She would yell in a similar fashion "Ah! Shua- nging!" (ah, children!) Smells of old-fashioned Shanghainese cooking would assail my senses, as my mouth watered in anticipation of the savories to come. One particular afternoon, after we had finished eating, we draped ourselves around her living room. I was sitting on a dilapidated couch, whose colors were made indiscernible by time, and was looking around her ro .....

.... model in defiance of Moore's Law. At the time the term 'information superhighway' hadn't been coined yet, but it would soon become our driving focus, as data traffic over long-haul networks skyrocketed and the world's telecommunications providers increased their investment in high-capacity fiber-optics. With an innovative product line that provides pavement for the information highway, E-Dak quenches an unending and growing thirst for bandwidth. For me E-Dak has meant working at the fourth fastest growing company in Silicon Valley, with $500 thousand of revenue exploding to over $60 million in four short years. It has also meant playing a role in the i .....

.... trembled and broke into a cold sweat. I heaved a sigh deeply to release bit of tension on my body. Wind was blowing with my hair flying behind me and it dried the cold sweat. I felt that all the eyes, in the on-lookers seat, focused their attention on me. I realised the second runner was close to me. I felt tension not only on my body but also mentally. I looked back. The second runner was running at full speed to me. I saw the baton. It looked like a monster. My mind shouted at me. 'Drop and Die.' I looked forward again. I could see my way clearly. It was short distance to go, but it seemed the finishing line was miles away from me. I opened my eyes .....
