Growing up as a kid I never really enjoyed reading and writing. It was and probably will always be my least favorite subject, nothing against you my lovely English professor, but I just don’t enjoy it. The only time I really enjoyed reading as a child was when I got my first leap pad and I eventually destroyed it and it was probably within 2 weeks of getting it, so I wasn’t interested for long. I don’t have much memory as a kid with reading and writing at home, because my parents never really…

1 Sometimes I don’t know who I am, where I am, or what I’m doing. I feel imprisoned, sometimes, in a state of eternal dreaming. Although my dreams aren’t happy or fun or kind. They’re just dreams. They’re not real and I’ve known this for a long time. I see waves of sunlight pour through the bathroom window, catching fire to thousands of specks of dust. Dust. Inconsequential to the highest degree. I start to wonder what it would be like to be dust. Abandoned and lonely. Drifting through the…

I was only 14 years old, a freshman in high school when everything changed. I lost to very close and influential people in my life that I always looked up as they helped guide me in my life and future path. Getting the news that my Grandma had passed away from old age and my Aunt dying from a heart attack is just the worse thing anybody can ever hear, especially if they were your role models and heroes. They were the ones who influenced me to become an accountant and become a CPA, they guided me…

When strength is mentioned, we tend to think of muscular men such as bodybuilders, policemen, or firefighters. However, strength is more than a physical attribute, its other definition from Webster’s dictionary is “Able to withstand great force or pressure.” Nothing brings this to mind more than my grandmother Barbara Allen. Her life was one of the hardest lives to live. Through all of her life she taught me how to be persistent. To press on through life’s many struggles. Then she taught me how…

world was coming down on me. With her I feel invincible. People like us need them. Taylor has had similar problems but I know in the end that we will always be there for each other. No matter what it is grieving or not. We all have problems every single one of us do rather it’s something small or big problems. "The average man is a conformist, accepting miseries and disasters with the stoicism of a cow standing in the rain." -Colin Wilson. There are things that will happen in your life and you…

Bodily Criterion Accepted In “The Unimportance of Identity” Parfit begins by stating that our concern for our future is not necessarily because it is ours, but because we care about our survival. He believes it has nothing to do with personal identity but with other factors, and he introduces cases where the two have no relation to see what matters. Following an explanation of his account, I will object his view on the bodily criterion, by proving that the ‘new’ person will not be him.…

There is, after all, more than a single person in world, and so long as that remains true, it is our duty to help one other. We are to feel compassion towards our neighbor and be a good Samaritan (Luke 10). It is our conscientious duty to help one another when the need is there. It always…

I slowly descended the stairs, concentrating on breathing as I went. I felt overwhelmed, anxious and scared all rolled into one. I knew I was where I wanted to be; I just had no idea how I was going to do this. They had a plan, and I just needed to follow it. I focused on inhaling and exhaling, calming myself as I walked through each room, towards the kitchen, taking it all in again. The grandeur of this house, alone, was enough to make my head spin. I was keenly aware that once I stepped into…
