Story: "Welcome to Anacostia’s Class of 2014 commencement exercises. The two years I have spent at Anacostia have been wonderful, and I could not have asked for a better experience.

I have been taken care of by the best principal, teachers, and coaches in the city. These educators actually care about our wellbeing: it is not just a paycheck to them. I feel as if I have walked into the arms of a second family. They are a security blanket that covers us wherever we are.

During my journey, I have made wonderful friends, sweated, cried, succeeded on the court and track and in the classroom. I have to shout out my family for always supporting me and being by my side. I have to shout out my school for always being available and helping me when I was in a jam. Also, for pushing me when I felt as if I was about to give up. My amazing track coach, Ms. Perry, was like a mother, sister, and best friend to me at the same time. She has always been someone who I could come to for whatever and whenever—no matter the time of day—and when I needed an ear for my problems and advice, as well. I love her so much. She is definitely a life-changer. Mrs. Sugarman, my wonderful counselor who not only told me to follow my heart but helped me to as well. I adore her. Mr. Smith, Anacostia’s excellent D.C. CAP advisor, who helped me get through the tough, frustrating college process without a problem. Without him, I probably would not have even applied and made it through, especially the financial aid portions. I would also like to thank Mr. Debon, Coach June, Coach Crows, Ms. Freeman, Coach Shackleford, Coach Thomas, Mr. Mooner, and Ms. Witherspoon, who have supported me every step of the way. And I would be remiss if I didn’t thank all of the community partners and [inaudible] supporters I have gained over the past month.

Throughout my journey here, I have learned that time doesn’t wait, pity, or adjust for or to anyone, and life is not fair. Life is not fair. But despite that harsh reality, you must keep striving for success through the pain, tears, and feeling of lost hope.

People say life is short; live it up. I say life is endless; turn up, earn it up, but don’t burn it up. Your life decisions lead you to where you end up.

For the longest, I was in the struggle, trying my best, but started to think that it would never be over. I started to give up. But then, God gave me a sign that He wasn’t putting me through this to punish me, but to show others how to be resilient and persistent in the goals of life.

I see a promising future ahead, and I didn’t do it all alone. I had gracious help for which I will be forever grateful.

Before I receive my diploma and head on to Georgetown, I just wanted to leave you all with a piece of advice. Class of 2014, always be who you truly are inside. Never be afraid to go after your dreams. And regardless of the negative forecast that has been predicted upon us, beat the odds, and let the sun shine.

The future lies within reach of our hands, and if we keep striving and don’t let anyone knock us off our path, or deter us from our goals, we can do anything we put our mind to. No matter what. Resilience, perseverance, discipline, determination, and dedication is the key to your success. Each step we take is paved with possibilities. Now, go unlock the doors to your future.

true. It matters what people think. It matters that my

to explain how the Grand Canyon was formed by wind, rain, and rivers


Colorado
by John Wesley Powell

The wonders of the Grand Canyon cannot be adequately represented in symbols of speech, nor by speech itself. The resources of the visual arts are taxed beyond their powers in attempting to portray its phenomenal beauty. Language and illustration combined must fail. The elements that unite to make the Grand Canyon the most sublime spectacle in nature are many and exceedingly diverse. The giant forms, which result from the sculpture of tempests through ages too long for man to compute, are wrought into endless details. To describe these forms would be a task equal in magnitude to that of describing the stars in the sky or the abundant beauties of the forest with its traceries of foliage presented by oak and pine and poplar, by beech and linden and hawthorn, by tulip and lily and rose, by fern and moss and lichen. Besides the elements of form, there are elements of color. The rainbow is not more replete with hues. But form and color do not exhaust all the divine qualities of the Grand Canyon. It is the land of music. The river thunders in perpetual roar, swelling in floods of music when the storm rains play upon the rocks, and fading away in soft and low murmurs when the infinite blue of the sky is unveiled. With the melody of the great tide rising and falling, swelling and vanishing forever, other melodies are heard in the gorges of the lateral canyons, while the waters plunge in the rapids among the rocks or leap in great cataracts. Thus, the Grand Canyon is a land of song. Mountains of music swell in the rivers, hills of music billow in the creeks, and meadows of music murmur in the rills that ripple over the rocks. Altogether it is a symphony of diverse melodies. All this is the music of waters. The adamant foundations of the earth have been wrought into a sublime harp, upon which the clouds of the skies play with mighty tempests or with gentle showers.

There I lay awake, hot and feverish, wondering to myself hour after hour when he would ever wake and take it. (9) At last he woke, and looked over towards me with unusual interest. "Hullo, Doctor," he said quite genially, "how are you this morning, eh? getting on well, I hope." It was the first time during all my illness that he had ever inquired after me. The author uses these details to and build suspense over the course of the three paragraphs.​

Letters to a young poet, who wrote the letters, to whom, and why?

Telluride, Colorado is my favorite tourist destination for skiing, but it is difficult to get to by either plane or car because it is located high in
the San Juan Mountains. If you fly into Telluride Airport, expect a treacherous journey in a two-propeller plane with plenty of turbulence. If you ha
a weak stomach, beware! The plane dips and twists, rocks and rolls throughout the entire one hour and sixteen minute flight. Despite the difficult
journey, flying into Telluride Airport has its positives. The airport is only seven miles to downtown and, if you are adventure-minded, the views
traveling in are also excellent (I especially enjoy flying in between the mountains!). The other air travel option is to fly into Montrose Airport which
one and a half hours away from downtown. The plane ride is more comfortable, but the extra travel time is a turn-off to many visitors. Traveling t
Telluride by car will take you seven hours from Denver and six hours from Colorado Springs. You can expect these travel times to be much longer
during the winter season as you will be traveling up and over the San Juan Mountains; encountering snow and ice on the roads is not only possibl
but practically guaranteed.
