21 days. 21 days is said to be the amount of days to form a habit. Now, habits can range from either good and bad habits. Good habits like walking your dog everyday to bad ones like procrastinating your work, we are all creatures of habits, good or bad. When I was sixteen, I meet a boy who’s bad habits would later take a toll on my life for a year and a half.

Whether it’s a family member, spouse, or friend - nothing will screw up your life more than being associated with a drug addict.

It was probably the second week of my summer break and I was miserable from the heat and the mundane days that would drag along, most of my friends either busy with their families or away on vacation for the summer.

    Journey of a Champion I had Shorty for a serious of months as I saw him grow and develop from the little steer he was, hence his name, to a much bigger one. Shorty had a unique set of features that set him apart to any ordinary steer from the variation of colors, to the musk of his hide, and his personality. Shorty had a variety of colors all over his body from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. His moist pink nose was always streaming with slimy five inch boogers that drooped along with his hairs.

Whether that was the pictures on the walls of my room, practicing choral music during a six and half hour rehearsal, drawing in my notebook, or taking a shower. In short, the only time I was actually fasting from media was the 10 hours I was sleeping. However, even then I could have been dreaming of scenarios or people I encountered through the media.…

If you don’t do the work, you will find yourself lost in the math you are solving. In algebra, not doing all the work might mean that you did a question wrong. You also can’t calculate everything in your head, because going on you are going to forget how to figure out math.…
