...woke up to my alarm at 6:15 and clicked the snooze button until it was just about at seven in the morning .Always pushing myself to rush my morning. This morning instead of riding the bus like I usually did, I had convinced my father to drive me to school to drop me off along with my bike. A group of four friends and I planned on biking after school to my friend Joe’s house to stay the night, as well as a couple other things for the day. Before I had gotten down the stairs and to the truck my father had already thrown my bike in the trunk of our F-150. When we reached the school, I was grabbing my bag. While my father was pulling the bike out of the truck. My father walked me over to the bike rack, along with my bike and he chained it up for me. After that I told him I loved him. Just like what most people say to there parent before they leave. He left for work and I went about the usual last day of school the pointless saying goodbye to friends and teachers we would most likely not see during our summer. Signing every ones year books, the thing I never bothered to ask my dad to buy me. Sense it was the last day of school it was a half day. I would not be pointlessly stuck at school for a full day. School had just finally ended and it was still only eleven. It still hasn't even reached lunch yet. I had the whole day with my friends, I was excited. Joe told us he wanted to show us someplace cool. I walked over to the bike rack heading over to meet up with my four friends Joe, Jared...

...The night was cold. Steve blew into his hands and rubbed them together frantically for warmth. Steve was not only cold, but extremely frustrated. His childhood friend, Viktor, had asked him meet him in some random street. And he was always late. It'd seem almost as if Viktor wanted him to suffer in the cold. "Hey Steve." Steve jumped back from the sudden voice, slipped on the icy ground and heard a faint 'whoa' as he fell onto the cold concrete. "Damn it Viktor!" Steve shouted as he tried to get up, slipping slightly. "What? How was that my fault?" "Because you startled me!" "Pff. Don't try and blame me. You should have been prepared." "Whatever, you’re late and I just want to be warm." Steve said, giving up on the argument. "Late?...

...public. One of my many early retail jobs was in the South Shore Mall in Bay Shore, New York at Record Town. This was always the hot spot at the mall. Record Town had a great location (just outside the food court) and many attention grabbers to lure shoppers into the store even if they had no intention of purchasing music that day. I always had a love for music and made many purchases at Record Town and was very happy to land a job there. My first day started like any other with a manager named Steve introducing me to everyone and showing me around the store. Steve was the same age as me, and had been working at Record Town for over a year. Explaining everything from how to punch in and out, how to use the register, and how many breaks I was entitled to. He was very personable, answered all the questions I could come up with, and was well versed in all the daily activities of Record Town. After the first week and a half of training, I was starting to get into a flow, similar to the way Steve was working and would know what the next move would be while dealing with a customer. I began to notice that when a customer would pay for their items in cash, Steve would not hand him or her the receipt. He would simply say, “Your receipt is in the bag. Have a nice day”. These receipts were not going in the bag, but behind the bag holder where, by the end of the day, there was a collection of receipts. I did not say anything because I did not feel it was my place, but I did...

...for it! Though I may ultimately become envious, I enjoy seeing my friends and other people succeed. I encourage all my children to go after their dreams. I have dreams of my own and have received very positive feedback from several personal and business friends. I hold back for one reason, I don’t have any support from my spouse. To her, it’s a foolish and vain ambition. So with my entrepreneurial needs lying dormant, I encourage everyone I meet to go for it! My father is an attorney and his father was a cattle rancher. As I was growing up in the home, my father shared with me a dream he had, but he never fulfilled that dream. He didn’t go for it! His dream was to own and operate a premium cycling shop in Salt Lake City. At the time, back in the 1980’s there was Fishers in Sugarhouse and a few, less premium, shops scattered about the valley. Today, there are dozens of successful, independent, premium cycling shops along the Wasatch Front. My father saw the vision and had the passion, but did not go for it. I have a great friend and tax client named Steve Savage. We both worked at Datamark together. At the time of his employment at Datamark, he was their lead account manager over their largest client, Corinthian Colleges. Steve and I both left the company around the same time. Both of us took positions with other firms. As we would meet occasionally for lunch we would discuss our individual entrepreneurial dreams. Steve had mastered the online lead generation business at Datamark...

Steve and I had been best friends since we met in first grade in Venice Elementary School in Florida.He was only real friend, everyone else just pitied me because my mother was murdered and the case was never solved. I was also short tempered, didn't talk much and was too factual for my classmates, but Steve understood me and did not judge me for who I am. Steve was the complete opposite of me, he was patient, popular and intelligent. Our friendship was as solid as rock and as transparent as glass. We would do anything for each other. I became the biggest technology tycoon in Florida, so I don’t have to worry...

...Beverly’s Heartbreak I recall the first time I kissed my first boyfriend, Steve, on my 15th birthday. He introduced himself to my parents and relatives. His parents came over for my birthday party. It was special, you know? We met in 5th grade and I instantly developed a crush on him. According to me, I got the guy of my dreams. After all, he was a Caucasian guy with blue eyes and light brown hair. It was exactly what my Hispanic parents wanted: a young man with a future ahead of him. We began dating that same day at my party. We shared everything with each other. I’d send him cool songs I found on YouTube and he’d send me the latest cat memes and clothing ideas. We always knew what was on each other’s mind. For my 16th birthday, he got me...

...behind it all is Steve Jobs. He is one of the most noted people in technological history, making technology at its best. He was the co-founder of Apple and the company chairman. Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 in San Francisco, California. His biological parents were Joanne Simpson and Abdulfattah Jandali. His father was from Syria. Because his parents were unable to care for him, Steve was put up for adoption. His adoption parents, Paul and Clara Jobs, took him into their houshold. Before he started elementary school, Clara taught Steve how to read. When Steve finally entered elementary school, it was not how he thought it would be. “I was kind of bored for the first few years, so I occupied myself by getting into trouble. I encountered authority of a different kind than I had ever encountered before, and I did not like it” (Isaacson 25). To count for all the boredom he experienced in school, Steve and his friend, Rick Ferentino, pulled all sorts of pranks in third grade. Some involved “making posters announcing 'Bring Your Pet to School Day' “ and “convincing others to give us their bike locks, then switching all of them” (Isaacson 26). The first three years of elementary school were useless to Steve. He did not care about school until he got into the fourth grade. His teacher, Imogene Hill, would constantly bribe him with money and candy. Accustomed to this, Steve decided to skip the fifth grade and just go to middle school instead. Steve attended sixth grade...

...com. As I opened this email, I found that my high school sweetheart was looking for me. Never in a million years did I think that answering this email would change have a long-term effect on my life as well as my sons. Steve and I exchanged many emails and talked every single day for the first month. We both decided to see where this adventure may lead. In April of 2005, Steve boarded a plane in Oakland, CA, and landed in Amarillo, TX. We were so excited to see each other that we spent the few days we had catching up. We had both been married and both were still going through the pain of our divorces. He had no children from his marriage and I had a son. He owned his own home, and my father owned mine. He worked in construction and I worked in the financial industry. We still had a lot of chemistry between each other, and we felt like old friends again. It was very had to see him leave; it was like a part of me was going with him. Over the course of the next few months, we both had enough airline miles for both of us to have free tickets! We talked about making our relationship permanent and maybe one or the other could move. We weighed our options back and forth for a few more weeks. What would be best for all three of us? It was settled, I would be moving, because it made more sense. I was able to fly to California for an interview, and enroll my son in school. While I was still here I received new that my transfer would be going through sooner than...

...A PART OF ME Hello, my project is about classic cars, and trucks restoration. This project may seem to some as a simple project to report on. If you have had the opportunity to be a part of a restoration project directly or indirectly, you may understand the passion that comes with a project like so, if you do not have the passion before the project it is likely you will develop it sometime during. I want to take this time and explain to you how easy it was for me to figure out early in life how much I love muscle cars. I really like some of the newer aero dynamic looking vehicles, but combining the new look and the old muscle car look really brought back a feeling of a personal touch “a part of me” to something special to be admired by many. There use to be a time when men and boys did things together that women and girls would not do. And there use to be a time when women and girls did things together that men and boys would not do.

As time went by daily we would get a friendly honk from various drivers and an occasional burn out, to me and my friends this was well worth the all day waiting and waving.
