Hospital Prank

Posted by Evett Hawks in Storytelling - Chase on
​While i was staying at the hospital there were a few teenagers i made friends with along with the child life specialists. So one of the child light specialist thought it would be funny to play a prank on the us. She woke us up early and took us all the way down to the main lobby and sat us on the stairs. We all complained about how tired we were and if we could go back to bed, but she just shook her head and sat beside us smiling really happily, while waiting to see what would happen we noticed there were alot of toddlers and kids around us along with the news being there . then the music kicked in and Elmo popped out of nowhere and everyone cheered, Everyone except us. I sat there with the most unhappiest and tired face i could possibly muster and turned to the specialist to see her laughing. so we sat there through the entire show and i kept that face until we left and got upstairs and i was back in my bed. Later on that evening one of the psychiatrist was watching t.v and saw they covered the story and it went a something a bit like  " All the kids were excited to see Elmo and the gang stop by at children's hospital of philadelphia" the camera panned all the happy kids and then there was just me at the end of all the kids with that face.  

Box Wall

Posted by Zachary Walls in Storytelling - Chase on
While imaging computers for the freshman in junior year me and the other people imaging built a wall out of cardboard boxes and took turns crashing through it. In hindsight it was a stupid and painful idea but it was probably one of the most fun things I have ever done.

My dog

Posted by Perry Woods in Storytelling - Chase on
  Sometimes I look at my dog and find him to be the most entertaining thing ever. His name is Ozzy David Bowie (my dad named him). He has been my little companion for over 8 years now and I still act as if he is a puppy. One of his eyes is blue the other brown. He is small, fluffy and a bit pudgy (after all he is a pekingese) When he sleeps he tends to stick his tongue out and he plays with toys much to big for him. Even when I walk him he tries to go after bigger dogs to show he is tough. Maybe to others these are common characteristics of their dogs. But with Ozzy something is just...special about him. Like his personality he has just makes him unique.

Another days story

Posted by James Seward in Storytelling - Chase on
Today was on/off day, if you know what i mean.  Early today i was with my record label.  Now as some may know and others may not, we are in a beef, battle with this other “record label”.Now we thought we had finally cornered these guys.  We found out that their leader was using lines that someone else wrote for him.  Now some people find that may be fine, but to me, who spends times actually thinking about what im gonna say, thats a disgrace.  So we take it to the people who are supposed to be judges, but they are among the people who say its ok to suck and have other people write for you. Im beginning to believe this is a very biased battle.  but thats fine cause when we win, it will undoubtedly prove were the better label. So after school i was chillin with my vice pres, slim, my lucky lefty Oscar and my bestie best best kamille and we were actin goofy as hell. that was awesome. afterschool i went to the grave of my departed best friend….i know its weird but it helps me calm down and…ya know….maybe ya dont….anyway, when i got home, they told me my cuz is in the hospital but gave no reason why…so now im worried…what a day….i was talking to my old friend Aaron and he told me to cheer up even though i was on the brink of having a fit….his words were “as long as i've known you {since kindergarten] youve been a monster. fighting, super energetic and husky as heck…a devil in premature form…and not once have you never cried. so why start now? right? ahahahaha devil may cry was based off of you so dont cry..devils never cry like the game says”…corny right? but its the best pick me up ive ever been given….lesson of the day, always count on your friends

Read

Today I'm going to read a book.  I never read. I need to start reading. I heard this book was really good, hence that is why I am going to read this book. Usually when I say I'm going to do something I don't do it. But this time will be different. I swear.

Completely blown away.

When I was in middle school, we had to take computer class and learn how to type. I was SO annoyed that the letters weren't in alphabetical order on the keyboard. Like, what's the point? It's hard enough already to learn how to type without all the letters being scrambled up. My teacher told me it was because people used to have typewriters and if the letters were in alphabetical order then they would get stuck all the time. I guess that makes sense but then I was left wondering why nobody ever changed it back once computers were invented. 

They say you don't really learn anything in computer class but that day I learned that the world really is run by grown ups. It was really a matter of whether adults would want to have to re-learn how to type so that everyone in the future can have an easier time typing. Lightbulb...

plans.

Posted by Katherine Roman in Storytelling - Chase on
So, Iv'e decided to get my life together. I plan on no so much saying what I want to do and what I want done and just doing it. I have been reflecting on my life, and all I have been through and how big of a mystery it must be for everyone else. I mean I think about all the things they could possibly be thinking about me not coming to school. Once my friends actually thought I had a double life. (lOl). I have never been open about my personal life unless it was absolutely necessary. I don't feel the need to let anyone in because, nothing will change. so I have decided to change it myself. I want to make goals for myself and watch them unfold. Thats my plan.

The Adventures of Lionus

Posted by Maya Wright in Isms - Baird on
​The Adventures of Lionus​ Video by Maya Wright
I made a 5-minute video with Leggo characters displaying some of the central themes of administration in Antigone. I chose to use the matter of poor leadership resulting from cold, unsympathetic and impassive choices to display why Creon’s governance failed. The main character “Leosopheclus” assumes the role of Creon. In the video I magnified Creon’s insensitive choices by making Leosopheclus an overly stern, powerful man that would not let anyone get in the way of his plans. He was not open-minded and opinions were not welcome to him and it was because of this that he in the end lost everything. Leosopheclus was sort of a dictator that kept pushing everyone away until he had but one left.

 Each character with a speaking role represented a different personality type that corresponds indirectly with the characters of Antigone. Both Harper and Derrick represent Antigone in a sense that they both refused to simply comply with the rules and resorted to rebellion. The fact that Leospheclus abandons both of his children because of their opinions relates to how Creon abandoned his son and niece due to their opposing views.

I did not want to recreate word for word a scene from the book so I decidedto focus on a main theme. At first I wanted to use regular students to act out my script but I could not manipulate their acting the way I wanted. So I decided to have action figures act out my scenes. I believe that this short video effectively conveyed Antigone’s central theme of cruel rule and the consequences of being impassionate. 

Where is my favorite place to get lost?

Posted by Tajh Jenkins in Storytelling - Chase on
​My favorite place to get lost has to be at my neighborhood basketball court called Marshall States. Even though it’s just down the street from me I feel as though that the court happens to be my place of security. Playing basketball is one of my passions, but Marshall States offers me more than that. It’s where I go to think about my life and to just get away from everything going on around me. I have been going there ever since I was a little kid and I have grown to love the place.

 

            When I need to release some stress or some energy I go to the park. I could stay there all day and not even realize that I have a home to go to. Marshall States has provided me with some of the most fun and relaxing days of my life. Fun times have happened because I’ve developed new friendships while sharing memories with old friendships. I’ve had relaxing times because I can go there to get away and think about my life while getting some shots up on a beautiful day.

 

            I never had a place where I could go just to feel secure and feel like nothing bad was going to happen to me. Marshall States is the only place that made me feel that way. Whether it’s just playing basketball or having life changing experience there, it has always been a place that has been good to me. Fortunately I will always have special connection to Marshall States.

 

            Going to that park is my place to get in my zone whether it’s mentally or physically. I go there to get lost and tune everybody else out when I need a break from life or when I need a good laugh with my friends. No matter how much I get older I will never forget my place of happiness and stability was. There will never be a better environment that I can say has made like I’m above and away from everyone else. Even when I’m older and I’m back in my neighborhood, I will always back to enjoy to the place where getting lost is a regular thing.
