15. A Turn for the Worst Cassie and her mother were driving home late on a Tuesday night, coming back from a business party. They were talking about how the party went, and Cassie was upset her mother made her sit through the long, and boring party. There were no other kids there Cassie’s age, and even if there had been, 15 year- old girls didn’t just become friends after five minutes of meeting each other. Cassie and her mom were almost home, they just had to exit off the interstate and take a left at the stoplight, but before Cassie could imagine going home, changing into comfortable cloths, and crawling into bed, her world took a turn for the worst. Out of nowhere, a semi- truck came tumbling across the road and everything went dark. Cassie screamed her mother’s name and waited for a reply back, but nothing came. The lights were bright, Cassie didn’t know what was happening. When the paramedic bent down and told Cassie to relax, she knew something was wrong. She asked the man where she was, but all he told her was that another ambulance was on its way. Slowly Cassie began to feel cold and numb. She tried keeping her eyes open, but no matter how hard she tried the blackness slowly crept in.

16. The Life of James K. Polk James Polk had only received two and a half years of schooling before being admitted to the University of North Carolina. He became interested in law and government due to his studies and membership in a debating society. After graduating with top honors in the fields of mathematics and the classics, Polk returned to Tennessee with the desire to become a lawyer. He received his legal training by working in the office of a Nashville Trial Attorney and worked as a clerk for the Tennessee Senate. Not long after his legal training, Polk established a legal office in Columbia, Tennessee. Due to his earlier success, Polk decided to go into the field of politics. He was only twenty- seven years old when he won his first seat in the Tennessee legislature. While still serving in the legislature, Polk married Sarah Childress. Sarah was an educated lady that impressed many people with her intellect and social grace. She was very active in her husband’s campaigns while running for president which, without a doubt, helped capture his victories. (not full report)
