Despite this, the feeling of discomfort that set in whenever I wandered anywhere else in the house was rough. I would never know where anyone was, and often found myself running into the mother and getting an odd look for even attempting to find other activity to do. In that sense, I felt invisible. Even at the dinner table with the whole family, Holden and Alex would discuss things I couldn’t relate to at all and would make inside jokes I couldn’t begin to understand. I find this experience to be similar, in that sense, to that of Birdie’s at school.…
Everyday after finishing my homework, I would go to the piano and pick up where I’d left off in “Sonate Pathétique” the previous night. It’d been a couple of months since the day I first played it, and I’d managed to greatly improve as a result of the countless hours I spent practicing. That night, I was determined to play through the entire first movement without committing a single mistake. Unlike many of my friends, I had a very meticulous mentality. Everything I did had to be done with the utmost care and precision because to me, nothing beat quality work.…
Exposition There were butterflies in my stomach and I could feel beads of sweat run down my face. A policeman unlocked my handcuffs and pushed me into the dark cell. My clothes were mucky and weighed down with sweat. The dirty cell had a foul stench of garbage and rotten sewage which made it impossible to withstand. My family were supporters of women's rights ever since I was a little girl .…
I was afraid to pick Doodle up. My hand wrapped around his body and my other hand wrapped around his head, holding him up. The blood started to drip out of his mouth and onto my shirt and stained it. He was so heavy, I didn't want to drop him because he was so fragile. I stopped every couple of minute to fix him because he would start to slide down and my arms were so weak and tired.…

College is a life changing investment that prepares for life and career. The vast spectrum of knowledge, skills obtained, and experiences from a college degree more than compensates for the monetary cost of tuition. Creating art is my passion; I have always wanted to become a great artist ever since I was a child drawing on my walls and copying pictures from books. I have devoted my life to improving my talents by illustrating my own stories, practicing drawing daily, and challenging myself to earning my own money doing what I love by drawing commissions. Learning how to communicate through illustration is a valuable skill that will live with me for the rest of my life and progressing my artist career.…

Driving to Austin one day, we spotted a billboard that said Schulenburg, TX: Home of the Painted Churches! My mother, the inquisitive person she is, searched the town up on the Internet. We were planning on traveling to Prague, Czech Republic in a month, and, coincidentally, she found out that original Czech settlers in the Hill Country had built the Churches. My mother’s wheels immediately started churning- Why not get a preview of Prague?…
Constantly evolving, constantly transforming. A place where any outsider has to prove themselves before being welcomed with open arms, where fame or riches is not the predominant factor instead communication is the main concern. Art is such a dexterous community, with countless of people from different backgrounds, ideals or beliefs, as a result, it doesn’t belong to only one culture alone and it becomes a form of communication that can reach multiple people regardless of the language boundary that has separated men throughout time and time again. In a sense, I am Alice in the Art world, as a discourse community art has established a part of what I am today by influencing me in my early years, transitioning my life, integrating me into a whole…
As I stood in the darkness waiting. I was running over my plan in my head for the millionth time. Wondering if it would work. The time was slowly going down. Little did I know my life would never be the same… Before that it was January 2017 Trump had just been elected president.…
My Naviance account reads: Multi-Racial Male. Having lived near my Asian grandparents for the majority of my life, I understand that segregation still exists in society. Despite being both Filipino and Irish, I look Caucasian. I often hear rude remarks and jokes made about Asians. While these remarks are not meant to offend me, they always do.…
Proust, in this scene, explores how memory can affect us and also how vague the reasons are for certain emotions and triggers. Proust credits the elusive…
Every person in this world has an individual creativity built within them. My individual creativity personally took me a while to uncover, I only recently unearthed my true creativity during my junior year. I express my creativity through makeup, poetry, painting, drawing and redecorating my surroundings such as my room which I like to think of as my sanctuary because it’s the only place I can disconnect myself from everything, focus on myself and reflect on my days. Makeup is my main outlet of expression since that’s the one that’s in the spotlight and is a quote on quote paraded for the public eye to see when used correctly and minimally to enhance ones beauty it makes a person look more presentable and put together. I was inspired to write…
Prologue I breathed in the pink eraser of my pencil and immediately felt my face frozen as my thoughts was blank. I had no idea what to write about my family history since I had not known my father for years and my mother was very difficult to comprehend. The bus ride of noisy classmates made it hard to think of anything positive about my life as the heavy weight, large bus driver hit every bump or pothole in broken concrete roads. There is one thing I hate most than being named after a coin, divorce parents in high school, is being an heir to a group of witches.…
It only goes to show that the question that more than likely receives the most generic answers from an audience, can also be the hardest to answer truthfully. What is art? If you were to ask a group of one thousand people that very question, the chances are that the majority of them would answer it by saying something along the lines of “It is and expression of yourself and how you feel” and “Painting, drawing, sculpting, and photographs.” I refuse to be restricted to these two categories, only to answer the same way all others have. That may make me seem stuck up in some way, however, I feel that I have a fairly unique understanding that not many think about.…
