Growing up we are bound to make choices we’re unclear of the outcome. A child of 3 years might love being in water, and once they visit the public pool with their parents one hot afternoon, they’re immediately tempted to jump once they reach sight of the glistening blue wet landscape.

Only when it comes to those things I or we generally truly desire which we sacrifice or risk for. In example, my mother of 47 years old. She always tells me stories of how life was for her back in Colombia when she was young. How difficult it was to get an education, even to see her own mother sometimes. To this day it is no doubt my mom had grown into a strong and independent women. Basically raising 3 kids by herself for how many years. With all her laborious years and thoughts of what if, she took that chance. She wanted better than living in a dangerous and crime filled city where you might accidently walk into a threatening stranger while walking to the bus stop. So she took it and without anyone's consent, she moved almost across the united states for the sake of a better future for her children. Over 1,400 miles, 20 hours, and 8 states away. Not knowing exactly how life would be once she gets there but only in thought of her selfless goal of preserving a chance of a safer and brighter future for her kids. Mothers take the most sacrifices and risks for their children. We all do for that something we deeply and truly want or love, for meaningful spark we search

    When I first wrote my response to “The ones who walk away from the Omelas” I chose to stay. This choice was based on the idea that I would see others going about their lives and dealing with this fact. I reasoned that if others could push this thought to the back of their mind and still live a normal life then I could as well. Another idea I introduced was the fact that I would not go against society. I mentioned that it is so wrong to go against the status quo and doing so puts you at a huge risk.…

    The two stories “Breaking through Uncertainty- welcoming adversity” and “Neighbours” are both stories about how big the benefits are when you take risks. The first short story is about how a skydiver must overcome his own uncertainty, to save himself from certain death. While the other story is still dramatic, just in a different tone; it's about a young woman, who has to decide whether or not a friendship is worth standing up for something that’s right. The protagonists in both stories, they have to take risks, and they’re both rewarded for taking those risks; on with his life, and the other with a stronger friendship. Even though the skydiver is risking his life, the protagonist in “Neighbours” had more gut to do what she had to do, where's…
