Kindle 7.99 Rate this book Hundred Oaks 3 Things I Can't Forget Miranda Kenneally 3.88 12,887 ratings1,009 reviews Kate has always been the good girl. ![]() Throughout the novel, Kenneally (Catching Jordan) uses a light touch, addressing teenage pregnancy, sexuality, and alcohol use without being pedantic. A budding romantic interest awakens Kate's awareness of the power of sexual urges, while an unexpected friendship with a fellow churchgoer, whom she had shunned in a time of need, causes Kate to question the moral guidance of her church and examine the "Christian" nature of her own actions. Guilt plagues Kate, undermining the girls' friendship, and clouding her experience as a summer camp counselor, as she observes her peers' behavior through a lens of judgment and disapproval. Although firmly believing premarital sex and abortion to be sins, Kate nevertheless provides financial and practical help when her best friend chooses to end a pregnancy. Eighteen-year-old narrator Kate Kelly begins the summer after high school in a state of prolonged moral distress. ![]() ![]() ![]() Beckett had become a welcome patron in the club and his table a safe place for most of the guys who worked for Reservations to gather. ![]() Julian had watched as Beckett sat alone for hours at his table until some of the waiters were cut from their shifts and ended up joining the guy. He chomped out his frustration that the big, tall cowboy hat wearing mystery man was building some possible hookups. Julian dug into the salad with his fork, stuffing a big bite into his mouth, and reached for the untouched glass of water nearby. “We’re holding the table for him, but he’s late.” So, the Marlboro Man had built a fan club involving more than just the club’s waiters and bartenders. “The older one,” Remington repeated, then turned with his tray full of drinks in his hand. All the men looked older, sophisticated, well put together, and handsome. ![]() “Who wants to know?” Julian looked over to Remington’s section of tables as if a large red arrow would point him out. Have we heard from thirty-four? Is he coming in tonight?” Remington, another waiter, asked from about the midway point down the bar where he loaded his tray with cocktail glasses. ![]() Get some barstools from the back, and let’s see if he arrives.” Julian looked over to see a crowd of men gathered around the larger high-boy table. “I’m being asked if table thirty-three can incorporate thirty-four into their party.” ![]() ![]() Two rounds of interview were conducted with interview scripts transcribed for content analysis. The Self-determination Theory and the Four-C Creativity Model were adopted to frame this study and to analyze its data. They were carefully chosen in an education university of Hong Kong, a place where east-west culture meets. Case studies of four university students were conducted. This study aims at investigating the views of university students on human creativity (HC) and environmental sustainability (ES), and how these two views might affect their supportiveness and understanding of HC-ES integrated development. It is unsure-how our university students perceive them, especially for students of different backgrounds. No literature was found to have explored the relationship of creativity and environmental sustainability, in the perspective of university students.

The trees are an awesome sight, but bear in mind: the forest above is not the garden’s entry point. When someone went up, every OCA campus planted a sapling. It didn’t matter where you from, where you trained, where your spacecraft launched. Stretching up from the ground, standing in neat rows and with an equally neat carpet of microclover in between, were trees, one for every person who’d taken a trip off Earth on an OCA rocket. Is it still there? Do you know it? Every OCA campus had – has, please let it be has – one: a circular enclave, walled by smooth white stone that towered up and up until it abruptly cut off, definitive as the end of an atmosphere, making room for the sky above. “Have you ever been in a place where history becomes tangible? Where you stand motionless, feeling time and importance press around you, press into you? That was how I felt the first time I stood in the astronaut garden at OCA PNW. ![]() ![]() If the sifted video is in a play list, have a look at the play list to see other interesting videos the Sift users have linked together.Įnter the Sift Lounge to chat with online sifters about anything and everything, or read interesting posts in the Sift Talk forum. ![]() When browsing sifts you like, have a look at the Related Posts list to see other related videos, click the tags under the video title to see more sifts tagged with the same tags or have a look at other sifts from the same user in the More Posts By list.
