A Day I'll Never Forget

by Ned
(Seattle)




This is perhaps my most powerful childhood memory, which is strange, because I can’t remember how the story ends. I just know how it felt. My mother sometimes used to take us to a neighbor’s house to play with her kids while she ran errands or took care of things. We didn’t go to this neighbor’s terribly often, so we didn’t know them very well. On this occasion, I was about five.

Everyone else was inside and I was outside riding one of the neighbor children’s bikes (I didn’t have a bike of my own). When I was done, I pulled the bike up the stairs to leave it on the porch. In doing so, I accidentally knocked one of the plant pots off the stairs and it broke. I had absolutely no idea what to do. All I can remember is leaving the bike on the porch and running home. Of course, there was nobody there. I decided to just go along the side, where there was a path lined with fuscias leading into the back yard.

I don’t know what I thought I was doing, but my idea was to just wait until my mom came home. After that, I don’t remember anything, not my mom coming home or us telling the neighbor or anything. In fact, I don’t even know how long I waited or if we were taken back to their house again.

Being honest NEW

Well, all that you could done is just be honest and tell everything to your neighbours or mom. I needed once an article about honesty and I was asking everybody who can help me write a paper for money? and I got an idea, that I will start to do it, just practising, being honest with everybody, and you know, it helped me to get whole point of honesty

Could you do an article NEW
by: Al

Could you do an article that talks about copyright? How do we avoid infringements when we cite other people's compilations over the internet? For example, what if I print-out a paragraph of our Catechism as it has been formatted (text, font, layout, etc.) over the internet by the Picayune, Mississippi, parish St.Charles Borromeo Catholic Church SCBCC. How do I attribute their work? I notice when I leave one portion of their Catechism site, and go to print a paragraph, that SCBCC's "case number" from the Vatican appears giving SCBCC permission to offer an eletronic version of the Catechism. So how do I properly attribute at that level? Thanks!

Education is guideline for those people which are deprived due to the social problems. Education provide the sharpness and brightness to mind to solve the problems and do fight to their rights. We can say that we cannot fight to our rights in perfect way.
