"The Secret" Sample

 Today is the day, I’m going to try and fly. I had a dream last night about flying, and I feel as though I was floating above my bed but I don’t know if I was. I practice at school a little before I go to the quarry. I walked through the halls and pictured myself in the air and then I’d be walking a few inches off the ground. Not too high enough to the point where they would notice, but just high enough to where I’m slightly taller than the other kids. But then I immediately would set myself down. I did this every thirty or so feet until I got to class. But I was waiting for school to end so I could attempt this death-defying feat that no one has ever tried and those that claimed they had, were false accusations.

The dismissal bell rang and I couldn’t get out the door fast enough. I practically run to the quarry I’m so excited. I just want to try this, I want to do this and be able to soar above the clouds, and have all my problems washed away. I drop my book bag as I run and I run fast to the edge like I planned but as soon as I got to my destination, I stopped. I stopped dead in my tracks unable to move. I looked down over the ledge into the abyss of the quarry and thought to myself, “What if I can’t fly? What if I fail? What if I fall and I kill myself?” These thoughts came to my mind and as I thought to myself I felt the presence of another person with me. Someone was close, someone followed me here and when I turned around they started to run away. Then my instincts kicked in and I jumped and ended up super jumping in their direction and landed in front of them and without looking I stuck my hand out in front of them and mind-pushed them back towards the quarry. They went flying through the trees and brush and landed with a thud. I walked over and I cleared the dust away with one swipe of my arm and the person I had pushed, was Darion. It was Darion who followed me.

He coughed and then looked up at me then quickly staggered to his feet, fear in his eyes. Moving backward as I motioned toward me for him to move forward. I kept looking at his feet and toward the cliff and he was getting closer to falling off.

“Darion, babe, you need to come closer. Look, I’m sorry I pushed you and I’ll explain everything to you. But you need to come closer to me,” I begged him.

“No! Just back away and I’ll forget I saw this okay!” he screamed at me and then he took one more step backward and he fell over the cliff into the abyss of the quarry.

“DANNY!!!!!” he yelled as he plummeted toward the bottom

I ran over as soon as he fell over the cliff and instinctively I dove in headfirst after him. Even though he backed away from me after I assaulted him with my powers, I still love him, and I wasn’t going to let anything happen to him. I got closer to him and grabbed his hands “Darion I’m about to throw you back up there to the ledge and you’re going to feel a push it’s going to be quick” I told him and before he could respond I grabbed his arm and flung him up toward the cliff then mind-pushed him the rest of the way. I could feel that he was safe, now I was next. Now was it, make it or break it time. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and cleared my mind. I could feel the rushing wind begin to slow and when it fully stopped I was staring at the bottom of the pit. Floating above it, I smiled the biggest smile and turned upright and then flew straight towards the top, staggering at first to get my bearings but then I burst out shouting with glee into the clouds. I looked back down and I could see Darion, I came down slowly because I need to start working on my take-offs and landings. I landed roughly next to him, even falling to my knees and he came rushing over to see if I was alright. Laughing I told him I was fine.

Careers

 Things have become more and more difficult in the current job market for someone who has so much to offer with a good degree and for some positions all the necessary requirements. However, things have never been more difficult than to be born in the millennial generation and having to cope with the fact that my generation has fucked up so bad, no one wants to hire my generation if you are under the age of 30. My generation has proved to the world we do not have a hard work ethic. Do not like to be at the job especially if it is a high-paying position. One might hate the current position, but endure the pain if there is room for growth. Endure it and move forward. The hard work will usually pay off.

ABA Work

 So I work in the ABA industry. For those of you who do not know what that means, it stands for Applied Behavioral Analysis. I am a Registered Behavior Technician, and I work with autistic children. I love what I do, and the children are so smart and sweet. But sometimes I feel like the RBTs' work goes unnoticed. A lot of the time, we deal with a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) who doesn't really care. They create the programs that we implement, but we may suggest things to the BCBA, and while they say they'll look into it, they won't. Or they just do not care enough to. The company I work for, I really like, but of course, with all jobs, there are the pros and cons. Pro: more work opportunities; Con: Managers don't really listen to what you are saying and want more of a "yes man" instead of an RBT who will do what is necessary to make sure the client is taken care of.

The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Review

I went and saw the new Hunger Games Movie which was a prequel movie to the Hunger Games series. The movie was titled "Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" which is based on the novel written by Suzanne Collins and takes place at the 10th annual Hunger Games with a young Coriolanus Snow, played by Tom Blyth, becoming a mentor to the District 12 tribute Lucy Gray Baird whom was played by Rachel Zegler. The games are not as we know them from the series. The tributes are treated like animals and not as they are treated in the other movies. But clearly, they do get better as time goes on. Though I had reservations about seeing it due to the backlash Zegler had received in recent months, it was still a very entertaining movie, giving the audience background on a younger version of President Snow. I do suggest going and seeing The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes now open in theaters as it is thrilling, suspenseful and all around fun for the whole family.
