Its sad to say but I didn't, think that I would have made it to this extend in my academic career. Indeed, at the beginning I did not have any confidence, or pep in my step like most enthusiastic freshmen would have, knowing that their creating a new chapter in their college careers. I has insecurities only because, I was terrified of English. considering that it wasn’t my first language.…
The Never Ending Rollercoaster As my friends and I pass by store to store we had realized that there was a bright red flyers. It had caught our eye, we went and grabbed a flyer and it had said “Ladies and Gentlemen there is going to be a new rollercoaster opening up this Saturday! Come and join the ride!” My friends had said that they wanted to go and check out the rollercoaster.…
After watching some gameplay videos for the new ps4 game Until Dawn, I was reminded of a strange term I had once heard, the butterfly effect. Upon seeing this, I decided to do some research to find out more about it. The Chaos theory more commonly called the butterfly effect summarized by Edward Lorenz is a branch of mathematics that deals with complex systems whose behaviour is highly sensitive to slight changes in conditions, so that small alterations can give rise to strikingly great consequences. With this, I thought a many life decisions that I had made, both large and small and thought of how they affected my life and how different my life would be if I had chosen to take another path. I am a Christian and with further thought, came to…
I am Trinity Kay Lynn Webster. When I was little I was very independent and adventurous. I had obvious problems with authority but chose to obey the rules………… most of the time. One of the biggest rules at home was never cross the road without mom or dad. The reason for this was obvious, the people there were not the most careful drivers.…
An old high school friend of mine, Diana, is from Croatia, which is an sovereign state between Central and the Southeastern parts Europe. We first meet in middle school, and I thought it was great having a friend from a different country. However, I was not aware of the difficulties her family has to endure to remain in America. While in high school, she informed me that her parents were instructed that they needed to take the citizenship test and that if they failed again they were to leave America. I was not aware the stress inflicted on her until one day in orchestra I took he time to ask her.…
Perhaps it was aloof of me to venture for a different response. It would be too abstract to believe from anyone. My classmates are mindless slaves that see no difference. Like diverse citizens given the same speech about drinking and driving, or how to help with a natural disaster half a planet away. I grow tired.…
Mikensie WIlliams Stockton LA 7 September, 2016 Scared One time I was at my church playing with my little sisters Teagan and Kelty and my two friends Cienna and Trinity. It was in the evening and we decided to play hide and go seek tag, but when we got out of the gym it was very scary the shadows, no lights except the one flickering light. Teagan and Kelty went too hide…
I managed to reach a point where I began making false promises to myself and others about addressing my situation. Among those empty promises was the one where I claimed I would give up drinking, attend rehab and try to get my life back on track. I even fiddled with the thought of seeking inpatient assistance if things weren't working as planned. Let's be clear and fair.…
The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…
I wish the American Ideal was true in a perfect fairy tale world it would be but in reality it is very far from being true many people want to pretend everyone has the same opportunity because of the great opportunities they have had in their life. I guess to not have to face the reality people would rather pretend it does not exist rather than to be a voice of change. Even still today people of different ethnicities are still being discriminated against even if they are over qualified because of many racial stereotypes. Additionally everyone does not have the same level playing field educational opportunities nor vital networking connections.…

She handled all civil and legal work for the county in a professional manner. Marshall was in charge of thirty-five attorneys that helped to represent Monmouth County in different facets of law. A few months ago, she was sworn in to be a Superior Court Judge in Monmouth County.…
On this fine February night I was thinking about something, no a person. Turns out I was thinking of the prettiest girl in the world Carly Fischer. When I first saw Carly I was in a trance. She was so gorgeous. I knew I had to be with her.…
The queen, even though she was wearing a dress, she was quick to dodge all of my attacks. It became increasingly difficult to get a hit on her. Her weapon was unlike one I had ever seen before. Well, heard of before, I haven't seen many weapons until now. The queen's weapon was made out of pure magic, it couldn't be seen by the regular human's eyes.…
She fought to hold the bagel she’d had for breakfast down as she observed the businessmen and women in their expensive clothes rush in and out of the offices. The atmosphere here was busy and fast paced. Discouraged, she second-guessed herself now as she hid behind her dark, long, wavy tresses and realized she didn’t belong here. The positive attitude that helped push her through the front door and make it to the receptionist was fading fast. Despite her reservations, she was determined to break out of her shell and prove to herself that she could handle the world beyond her comfort zone.…
There was snow on the ground, but the sun was still shining and melting the snow. Recently, my dad had been feeling soreness in his arms and legs, but he didn’t think anything of it, just that maybe he need to take it easy. He tried resting, ice packs and heating pads, my mom even tried to find ideas online as to what might be wrong, or what could help. After a few months the pain didn’t go away, it just got worse. Eventually my dad made a doctor's appointment.…
