Slow Person Research Paper

Not much benefit will be gained, oh Akronites, from terminating a slow person. You will be condemned by sincerity to suffer the reward of your intolerance and narrow-mindedness after my departure. Upon my expulsion from Akron Early College, you will be left alone with people who are much faster than you, and you will be able to experience what it’s like to be a slow person. Now to my accusers, you would have gotten ridden of the slow me forever if you had waited two more years. I would have graduated from Akron Early College, and we would have gone our separate ways as mature, understanding adults. If you hadn’t been so egotistical and callous, I would have learned to work faster as I have to take the ACT in my junior year. You have proven yourself to be heartless by taking a hardworking student’s education in your hands. Life is like a race in which I am the slow tortoise, and you are the fast hare, and those who rush through, like the hare, will fall short while those who take their …show more content…
Do not mourn for me when I die. My oracle never made any signs that death was a bad thing. It did not ask of me to plead or beg for my life, so death must be a good thing. Death is either the beginning of a new life or a peaceful sleep that you never wake up from. If I was to die innocent and falsely accused, I will surely be given a second chance at life. My life after death will be much better than my life now for I must have been a good person to get a second chance at life, and gods do not abandon good people. I will not be judged and punished for being a diligent student in my second life. There could be no greater gain if death is a peaceful sleep. I would not have to worry about being judged and being falsely accused. I would not need to think about how to survive each day of my life. I could get a long, dreamless sleep without ever being woken out of

    Journey of a Champion I had Shorty for a serious of months as I saw him grow and develop from the little steer he was, hence his name, to a much bigger one. Shorty had a unique set of features that set him apart to any ordinary steer from the variation of colors, to the musk of his hide, and his personality. Shorty had a variety of colors all over his body from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. His moist pink nose was always streaming with slimy five inch boogers that drooped along with his hairs. Just down below his nose, shorty had a tongue that seemed like it could stretch as long as a spider web.…

    Middle school can be an odd and rough time for kids, as they change from being sheltered youth to responsible young adults. I failed miserably at handling that transition. The classes taught in middle school were supposed to be easy, especially now that I look in retrospect. Yet, I regularly brought home B’s and low A’s, at best, on my report card. I had barely challenged myself in middle school, if at all.…

    The following months passed, and I began to reflect on the significance of this setback and what it meant for my own character. Maybe I didn’t deserve to be accepted, but one truth was undeniable; I had put all of my effort into my application. My dedication and commitment to tasks, both inside and outside the classroom, helped me to cultivate the skills needed to succeed in challenging situations, to face the unknown in the future. Every obstacle in life could be seen as a reason to admit defeat or, on the other hand, an opportunity to overcome and learn from. If I had been accepted on that day, it’s possible that I never would have learned that…

    See, I could not fathom the fact that there was nothing wrong with me, but there was a problem with some students mindset. It wasn't until Sophomore year, I had to learn the ways out my own maze: spite. I had done to my classmates, what I felt my classmates did to me: I enclosed them in a bottle. The day I heard Lafayette's words being read aloud, I accomplished a goal I never intentionally sought to attain, embracing myself whole; this was the day I went from being a child to a young…

    I looked around the room and when other students looked at me, they, too, began to frown. A majority of the people in that room had been close friends of mine, causing it to be even more challenging to not be distressed. I had let them and myself down. The “star student” that they all envisioned in me was not accepted into the organization that nearly everyone else in the room had been. I felt that my talents and achievements were not properly recognized.…

    For many people, death is one of the scariest things they will have to face. Why? Because they do not know what will happen after they die; will they go to Heaven, or will they be reincarnated? No one is, or can be, certain of what happens and arguably, this could be the main basis of religion. The question of what happens after death is a common theme expressed through many works of literature, such as Obasan by Joy Kogawa, Hamlet by William Shakespeare, “The Open Boat” by Stephen Crane, and the poem “At the River Clarion” by Mary Oliver.…
