 Short Story:

Jason thought it would be fun to learn to snowboard as it was a frequent sport played by his friends. When he got there, though, he backed out and said that he couldn't do it. He was afraid he'd fracture his ankles.

Distraught, his friends tried to convince him he was safe and it was fun. "You won't know if you don't like it if you don't try!" But all Jason could do was shake his head and run.

As he went his way, people gabbed about how much of a coward he had been. He regrets ever trying out.

Chicago Bears at the NFL Draft: Andy Dalton is our QB2

Author's Note:

The short story is inspired by a true story... of myself. First time going snowboarding with my friends in Colorado, I backed out of the first day. Then, I tried again on the second day and sprained by left ankle on the second run. The tweet is inspired by the first round of the NFL draft that happened last night. I think trading up to pick Justin Fields is the best decision the Chicago Bears have made in a very long time.

    Hey Taeam!
    I've never been snowboarding myself but it is always something I've wanted to try! I have skateboarded before and that was kind of intense at first so I can see why snowboarding would be the same! On the second day you hurt yourself? Maybe the day before something was trying to tell you not to do it haha! But hey, it's a learning experience so I hope you enjoyed it other than hurting your ankle.

Introduction to my life

  Hello and welcome to my first blog! My name is Taeam Kang and I will be taking you all on a trip down my life. I first came to the University of Oklahoma to major in Microbiology, Pre-Dental. I enjoyed the field of dentistry and made the effort the past three years to work and get as many shadowing hours and experience as possible. However, this past summer I had a change of heart and changed my major to Pre-Pharmacy in hopes to further my education in pharmacy school. My career goal is to become a head pharmacist for Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals. The reason I decided on Pre-Pharmacy rather than Pre-Dental is my hands strangely shake constantly and I decided it’d be best if I did not choose the hand-on surgery route. It is not a serious condition as one can barely even noticed without staring hard at my hands, but I will entrust the field of dentistry to those more qualified. I currently live with six of my friends in a house near campus. My family consists of my mother, step-father, an

(Image Information: Ultimate Vessel for Supreme Diety  https://www.reddit.com/r/NanatsunoTaizai/comments/7ir36v/ultimate_vessel_for_supreme_deity/) In the beginning of time, a big bang created a world split between heaven and hell. Each world was ruled by all-mighty entities; Aura, the goddess angel of heaven, and Amadan, the demon king of hell. For years, the two rulers raged war upon each other, creating chaos for centuries to come. Between the two opposite worlds existed a world of man, who found themselves constantly in the crossfire in the war between heaven and hell.  The two rulers also had children of their own. First born son of Amadan was named, Zaratras, who became the most notorious and feared soldier in the demon king’s army. First born daughter of Aura was named, Yama, who also became the strongest soldier in the army of heavens. Both fought countless days and nights, fighting for a cause created by their parents. However, when they met on the battlefield, it deemed too d
