I glanced up and saw the one person I wanted to see. Brian, my mom’s boyfriend, was still talking when I screamed, “DAD!?” He looked at me and started to get teary eyed. He had thought I was calling him dad. That was a funny thought. I mean I have only known who my biological father was for about the last two years and in that time period I have known Brian too.

Larry was always my dad and always will be, that is not ever going to change; he is the man who raised me and was always there when I needed him. Andrew, I learned was my father because my nana wanted to show me who my real father was. Brian was just my mother’s boyfriend. He had no significances in my life. That may be rude but I’m only ten and already have two

Although Kierkegaard was a religious man, existentialism became a more atheistic worldview as the philosophy further developed in the 20th century. There are many variations of existentialism, but the main idea of it is that human lives has “no meaning unless people give them meaning.” To elaborate, existentialists say that although life itself originally has no absolute answer, humans are free to choose or create their own meaning to life, without being swayed or forced by the voices and ways of society and religion. This is an intriguing worldview, as it not only supposedly answers some of the biggest questions…

    Every day most Americans successfully gain employment as a source of income. Typically, full time employees work on average forty hours a week. Some people go to work receiving more money than their coworkers, friends, and even family depending on their hourly or salary pay.

For example, if someone made ten dollars for every hour they work, by the end of the week that person would earn four hundred dollars before taxes are taken out by insurance and the government.…
