1. _______________________________
"The idiosyncrasy of this town is smoke. It rolls sullenly in slow folds from the great chimneys of the iron-
foundries, and settles down in black, slimy pools on the muddy streets. Smoke on the wharves, smoke on
the dingy boats, on the yellow river--clinging in a coating of greasy soot to the house-front, the two faded
poplars, the faces of the passers-by."

2. _______________________________
The most embarrassing moment of my sophomore year was how I earned my nick name, Crash. It all started right
after school when I turned on to the busiest street by the school. First I pulled up right behind this truck at a stop
sign. After a second, a fellow older student told me that I was really close and that I was going to hit the truck in
front of me. At the moment I was trying to tell the kid that I was giving a ride to to get back in the car because he
was hanging out the window. Since I was distracted, I thought the long line of traffic had started to move, but it
hadn’t. In the blink of an eye I hit the back of the truck in front of me. The devastation sunk in. I was so worried
that I damaged the truck, but all that I did was scratch his bumper. Lucky for him! Then it came time to look at my
car. My car was ruined. The hood was buckled, the front end was pushed back, and my headlights were broken.
Humiliated and scared, I still had to drive my totaled care home. During School that year, I never did hear the end
of what had happened that day.

3. _______________________________
There are many advantages to purchasing fresh fruit and vegetables as an alternative to popular
processed food items at your local grocery store. While potato chips and donuts are tasty and frozen
food is convenient, a habit of eating food prepared in a factory leads to overall poor nutrition and can
cause bad health. 

4. _______________________________
T “But then the Letter hits like a Star Trek grenade and detonates everything, past, present, future.
Suddenly, her folks want to kill me. It don’t matter that I helped them with their taxes two years
running or that I mow their lawn. Her father, who used to treat me like his hijo, call me an bad on the
phone, sounds like he’s strangling himself with the chord. You no deserve I speak to you in Spanish, he
says.”

5. _______________________________
If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if you choose to
identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those
who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands
and millions of people whose reality you have helped change. We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the
power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.
