My Parents Love; And How They Saved Me
Tony was from Detroit, Michigan. He was the first person I had met from a big city. Well maybe not the first I had met but was the first that I got to know. He was tall and confident in a way I hadn't seen. He didn't take any crap from anyone. Other girls watched him as he walked through corridors or when he walked through the campus. I saw it all of the time. It made me feel a sense of power knowing that they watched him but it was me he was watching. He was mine. I began to pay more attention to how I looked and what I wore. I even found a lady who taught me how to better apply makeup to accentuate my features. I wanted Tony to keep on being interested in me. Through him, I became visible in a way I never was before. I lost my virginity to Tony a few months after we started dating. It was sooner then I wanted but Iwas afraid if I kept saying no to him, he would find some other girl who would say yes. It wasn't romantic and it didn't feel good for me. It hurt and it felt...messy and dirty. It happened in a bathroom in the woman's residence. We he was finished, he slapped my ass and promptly walked out of the bathroom while saying the words, "And that's a take." over his shoulder. I didn't know what that meant at the time. Alone, I cleaned myself up and quietly walked to my room were I laid in my bed and cried. Tony became distant with me and started to talk with other girls. I couldn't get him alone to ask him what was going on. I was so stupid and trusting that I thought if I gave him space, he would come back to me. I told myself that maybe he felt bad about how it happened between us...the sex.Pages: 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 8 9
LED resistorsLED resistorsAuthor: NajeebThe need of a resistor in an LED is to limit the current in the LED to a safe value. LEDs are semiconductors or diodes in particular. The current flowing in an LED is an exponential function of voltage across the LED. As a result what happens is that a small change in voltage can produce a huge change in current. That is the most important concept of why resistors are used in LEDs. Resistors have specific properties. The current and voltage in a resistor are linearly related. That means that a change in voltage will produce a proportional change in current. |
