My Heart Will Go On

giving is one of my favorite things! When I was little, my mom taught me the importance of trying to find the perfect gift. She always made everything so special growing up & still does to this day. We had heart shaped treats for birthdays, handmade cards & homemade gifts. This was the standard for her even before Pinterest! Amazing right? Mom once taught me how to sew a decorative pillow by hand for my dad. I was so excited to give this gift to my dad because I had put my heart into it. Funny…

Colorado Christian University Session 1 2 Brienna Wells. Session 1. Journal. My dreams of being successful as a student at Colorado Christian University, the challenges that I expect to embrace as well as accomplishments I would like to achieve by faithfully staying focused and determined along the way, and how seriously my personal beliefs about what makes a good Christian changed over time due to extraordinary moments my life has walked me through, making me who I am now, and how grateful I…

This was start from here, from the lovely planet called earth. I once lived here and chased my dream every single day. I always love to see the sunset, the beautiful orange sky in the horizon. I have a dream, a very big dream, that one day I will see the earth like the sun seeing the earth. Every day I worked hard to chasing my dream, until I forget everything. "Love", a thing that everyone mention, they said that it can make happiness come to you. I became someone who disagree with that. For…

noise of my alarm clock startles me. I throw off the covers on my bed, and run across the chilly floor, to stop the ear piercing noise of my alarm. I slip into the warmth of my fuzzy slippers, and head downstairs to the kitchen to start my day. I start by pouring a cup of coffee, plop onto the couch and watch the morning news. It’s snowing they say. I walk over to the window and throw open the curtain. Frost crawls up the sides of the window, and the snow glistens outside. I scurry to my…

believe Konawaena High School is remarkable. At my school we have access to the stadium field with an all-weather track, the basketball gym, the baseball and softball field, and even a large pool. Konawaena is located in Kealakekua, Hi on the slopes of Hualalai mountain. We call this area “mauka”. Mauka is Hawaiian for the mountain side of the road in context of direction. Konawaena translates into “Middle Kona”. I feel like Konawaena is the heart of Kona. Since it is the center of Kona,…

One of the songs that really sparked my attention was the song called “We Know the Way” sung by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Opetaia Foa’i, because the song tells a story and has a mix of English and Polynesian words in its lyrics. I thought it was amazing how the directors thought to incorporate some of the native language of where the movie takes place, which is in Polynesia. This was also one of my favorite songs because it tells the story of how Moana’s ancestors used…

I had Berta for general psychology during my first semester of college. When I found out she was teaching another Psych class in the Spring, I thought ‘I’ve got to take this class’. Berta is someone I look up to as a person, and she also has my utmost respect for being the most laid back professor that I have had so far here at Pellissippi State. She has made me feel like I actually matter in this world, and that I actually have a purpose. I know for a fact if I ever needed anything from her she…

the only judgement that actually matters, comes from The Lord. And we know that The Lord sent His son, Jesus, in response to the conditions of our hearts and very being. Jesus came to save because He knew we needed a Savior. Clearly, God knows our hearts. Every piece that exists in us, He has known from the beginning. To be true, God has known our hearts longer than we have, and He knows us better than we ever will. Every thought, every fear, every feeling, and every single fiber of our being…

by word rather than images, is a popular outlet for love to be expressed. The poems “To My Dear and Loving Husband” written by Anne Bradstreet and Henry Constable’s “My Lady’s Presence Makes the Roses Red” are two examples of love poems that express great joy and celebrate the beauty and simplicity that love can bring, in addition to telling of the author’s loves and how wonderful they are. The poem “My Lady’s Presence Makes the Roses Red” is a fourteen line Italian sonnet written in…
