    My key life lessons are that nothing beats hard work and if you treat others with respect, they will generally treat you with respect. Hard work and effort are the main aspects that lead to “lucky” things happening. Good things don’t just fall into people’s laps, the ones that have the most “luck” generally are those that put in the most effort and work. Also, I have learned that when you truly respect those around, they will respect you back and life is much easier when you aren’t doing things behind each other’s backs.…

    As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…

Struggling I open my eyes and notice the trembling cabin, I turn to my mother with a look of concern and she reaches out her hand and squeezes my own looking up at me, “we are going to be okay Mar”. A couple of moments later our plane has landed, we gather up our belongings and make our way towards the exit filled with people attached to their screens and MP3 players. The airport is filled with an undercurrent of anticipation, impatience, and boredom; bodies scramble back and forth from one gate to another. My mother, attempting to balance three children, clasps my hand, holds my little brother to her waist and calls back to my older…

    J. R. R. Tolkien wrote, “All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.” Living in the moment and pursuing your dreams are undoubtedly essential parts of enjoying life; however, it is equally as important to stick to your roots and appreciate where you came from, where you obtained your intellectual curiosities, and where you predestined your goals and aspirations. I grew up in a very close-knit family surrounded by the hills of suburban Fullerton in Southern California. By no means was this a harsh environment to live in mentally or physically, in fact, I loved almost everything about my city; the cool weather, the delicious restaurants, and the alluring people had always made me feel blessed. My father worked hard to settle his painting business and my mother had just started her job as a bank accountant; and as far as I could tell, my family was very close to achieving— to some degree— the fabled ‘American Dream’.…

All of these things stressed me out and made me believe that my life was difficult. If someone had told me that my life was easy and was eventually going to get hard, I would not have believed that person. I did not think that there were more stressful things than having an essay due in three days or not knowing how to solve a math problem.…
