Stand By Your Brand

Haggar is a brand that I will always stand by. Haggar Clothing Co. was founded in Dallas, Texas in 1926 and has a history of being known for producing quality clothing with a lifetime guarantee. Haggar is also known for popularized the term “slacks” for a pair of men’s pants. The main reason why I buy Haggar is because their cloths last a long time plus their stylish. Furthermore, buying Haggar tells people that I like my pants the way I like my women: strong, reliable, stylish, relaxed, and corduroy… on second thought maybe not that last one. (Word count: 98)

Flashy Footwear

I was in marching band for all four years of high school (go Lion’s Roar Marching Band). During my four years as a band member I observed and took part in a fashion trend that spread throughout the band where members would wear uniquely colored or patterned shoes every day.  My friends the Prince’s started this trend and when asked why they’d say it was to help show off their marching technique and they looked cool. My friends and I and soon other members adopted this trend of wearing unique footwear everywhere, and I still do today. (word count: 97)

A Previous Misconception

My name is Sean Dougherty, I am from Baldwin, Maryland, and the place where I call home is wherever my mother, father, older sister, twin brother, and I are altogether. However, when I was younger if someone were to ask me where the place I called home was I would just state my home address without a second thought. Only after my older sister moved out of our house did my previous definition of home seem incorrect because I finally realized that a house is just a space without the people that make it a meaningful place.
