    Losing someone so close to you can internally and externally break you. One day you could be having a normal conversation with that one person talking about something exciting that happened in your day and the next day, they are gone. I can relate to this to a tee because I have gone through this with my mom. In my freshman year of high school, she got really sick and had a seizure in her sleep. I was the one that had found her and I was the one that called the ambulance.…

    The day began much the same as any other – meaning I managed to stumble out of bed and drift through the menial tasks of the morning, but little else. In short, nothing terribly interesting happened beyond the fact I didn’t singe my eyebrows off or burn my home down in an effort to cook breakfast. Actually, considering my zombie state of mind, I completed my chores with a shocking amount of success. An achievement, I must admit, that inspired me to journey beyond the walls of my safe little box yet again. I set out fairly early, this time determined to explore the area closer to my oh-so-humble abode, curious as to what riches I might find.…

    I remember seeing the reflection of my room through the giant mirror on our hallway wall. My mother was in the bathroom, she was preparing for a night out - she had on the best pair of black leather ankle boots -- yet I nagged her to talk about my dad. I was seven years old when my mom told me the story about death of my father; although, I’ve never gotten the full details until I was sixteen years old. Before that age, I usually created my own scenarios and scenes on how the tragedy happened. After those moments I’d often find myself very unhappy, I would focus my thoughts on a person I care dearly for but know nothing about.…

    A peril which I conjured up seemingly from thin air was aviophobia. I had flown on airplanes and traveled the world and was not one bit anxious while flying. Nevertheless, persistently one night after another I would have vivid dreams of planes veering onto the earth. The predicament was not of the dreams themselves, but when I snapped violently to reality. Those nights I would have severe anxiety attacks, sweating, inability to even breathe, furthermore an uncontrollable shaking.…

    In contemplating the different facets of occupation and the world of work, it is conceivable that one may overlook the significance of a person’s attitude on how a job is done or handled.

How can someone’s attitude towards their job have an impact on it, and in turn, on themselves?

    As the residue of the Kleenex fibers covered her red nose, her body shook as she tried to muffle the rawness of her sobs that filled the church. Her irises were threaded cerise, I could tell there was nothing left inside of her. She didn’t want to be helped, she just wanted her chance to break down for all the times she kept it together when everyone else was distraught. Things felt so somber and I felt numb to it all as if I was too young to tell what was happening. Deaths don’t matter unless it’s someone who matters to you, or anyone relevant with a touch of talent…

    The morning of Saturday November 1st, 2014, I woke up to three hundred text messages and twitter notifications all notifying me that my friend, Dominik Pettey, was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver the previous night. No pain had ever felt so significant, it was crippling, but then instead of pain, I was numbed by the inability to grasp that my friend someone who I just had seen the night before, was gone. I ran the words “Dom is dead” through my head on a loop but could not bring myself to accept it. That week, although I was still here, facing such a tragedy, everything on earth seemed so insignificant, going to class, homework, midterms, everything. I woke up every morning wishing it was just in a bad dream and that noise would never cease because that is when it hit me the most, silence, when I didn't hear Dom’s infectious laugh or when he wasn't telling me that, “I am Kiera Wainer and deserve the best God can give”, which he used to say anytime I was upset, the first time he said those words was the second worst day of my entire life, it was the day my dad left for his new family.…

    Each Sunday for eight weeks, out of respect for the mourning traditions of Vietnamese Buddhists, my family and I spent two hours at the Chua Tu Lam Temple in San Jose to pray for the safety and happiness of my grandfather in heaven. In spite of the ritual, I couldn’t mourn my grandfather. My too-recent memories of him only brought tears to my eyes, and I worried that this would depress my family further. As my parents knelt with folded hands, I forced myself to shove my emotions deeper inside. Throughout this period of mourning, and for two additional months, I constantly lied to myself about the pain.…

    CNarrative Before, I used to think death was an awful thing to go through, and that I would never be able to deal with a death in my family. That death means forever gone never coming back, almost as if the world was ending coming to a collapse, and there would be no feelings left but a empty hollow shell after someone passing. From, what I used to think and perceive of death and how I feel about death during the process but how I view everything now has completely changed.…
