A Thousand Experiences Throughout life, individuals face different obstacles and struggles; my obstacle was my tendency to be shy. For example, when I was faced with social pressures like speaking in front of a class for a presentation, or meeting new people, I would be a nervous wreck. My palms would sweat, my voice would tremble, and it took all the strength I could muster to overcome my irrational fears. I only had a small, albeit close knit group of friends due to my introverted ways.…
Many kids can remember their parents reading them bedtime stories’, my parents may have, but I don’t remember. That could be a reason as to why I was never crazy about books, and surely never wanted to read one. I eventually gave into reading and found that I loved it. My favorite book series’ to read as a kid were Captain Underpants, Goosebumps, and Shadow Children. Each book series brought out a different part of me, and introduced me to new ways of life.…
Little Pieces My little fingers wrapped around my dad's, and his heartwarming smile reassured me that one day, I would become somebody.

As I grow older, the flame in my heart is set ablaze, the passion and immensity of my dreams tackles me down.…

As we get older we find more and more joy in our memories. We become grateful for how the simplest and smallest things made us so happy and fill us with such happiness and leave us with smiles on our faces. As we get older we often wish those times hadn’t gone by so fast and that school, work and life were that simple and so laid back again. Though most of us like thinking of the past, we have to simply take a look back in time and leave it there, in the past, so we can experience new things and have new memories to look back on in the future. This chapter is about my look back into the past.…

I was really nervous and didn’t know what it was going to be like. All I knew was that I was probably not going to go home for several hours. My mom told me that it was my first day of school and that there was nothing to worry about. My mom took me to the car and took me to school. The car drive seemed to take forever but finally I got to where I was going.…
“Make it work,” exclaims Tim Gunn, host of the hit show Project Runway, while designers scramble to reassemble a runway ready look worthy enough to display before the prestigious judges. I have never experienced the situation of completing a perfect ensemble in less than twenty four hours, but I have felt the pressure of starting from scratch with very little time to “make it work.” Last February, after precisely planning my track training regimen, I injured my leg. Indoor track season was fast approaching, and I was beginning to feel frustrated and defeated. However, after consulting with a doctor, I knew I could use my injury as motivation to work towards becoming healthy once again.…

Last weekend was parents weekend so I figured I would write this diary about how grateful I am for my parents. I am so lucky to have my parents. My parents are a great support for me to lean on when I am stressed, which is all the time in college. They are there to listen to me whenever I have a problem and provide an answer or just a caring shoulder to lean on.…
One year ago, on January seventh I learned not to take even some of the worst situations for granted. Sitting in the white minivan, I anxiously waited for my mom who stood on the porch pacing back and forth, while listening to my hungry, screaming little sisters. She received a phone call while we were walking out the door of the oral mouth surgeon, after getting a quote for the total price of the pulling of my sisters wisdom teeth would be. As I watched her, she had kept her back turned towards the wall , and I could feel something way down in the pit of my stomach. I looked back towards her and saw her coming down the stairs to the door to come get in the car, and I could tell she had been crying, even though she had her sunglasses to try and hide it.…
It was August 19,2015. I was in my room sleeping, and then all of a sudden I heard my sister and my mom yelling at each other. “I don’t know what to bring!” My sister yelled. “Bring something nice to wear for the wedding.”…
All my life, I have loved listening and reading words, watching them float out of a person’s mouth or off of a page, forming into images. As a child, every morning, every night, was spent listening… listening to my mom, dad, or ba (my grandmother) read to me.

As I have gotten older, I have started to appreciate reading alone, and analysing books by myself. From about four years old, reading word after word, carefully digesting them in one by one has come natural to me.…
