Right outside of the front door was a platform, I spent most of my time on it. I would sit there and acknowledge everything that would happen. My grandmother did not live on a very busy street, but it was always fascinating to me to watch different things going on, from my brother playing basketball with his friends to waiting for the ice cream man to pass. The ice cream man probably passed about five times a day. By the end of my summers, he already knew us by name. My brother and I kind of…

I have found through my AS Psychology lessons and from personal experience with family members, that mental illness is a topic that interests me immensely. In my lessons I learned how mental illness is treated and theories about how it is caused, such as the biological approach which suggests that mental illness is caused by changes to the brain or neurotransmitters. For example, there is evidence to suggest that depression is caused by the lack of serotonin in the body. My interest in mental…

This is one of the most used sentences in the classroom when teachers ask students to study a little bit more. I am not here to simply discuss about your priorities, so I would like to show you several funny, easy, and efficient ways to practice and learn English during the day. Most students think that in order to practice English, they are supposed to stop doing whatever they’re doing, get their school 's book, and start reading it for hours. I am not saying that method is wrong, but it is…

Bullying From the moment that I could express any sort of opinion, I, as well as my parents knew that I was going to be a vibrant, and at times very whimsical young lady. I’ve definitely toned down since I was all of three; but, I would soon mature into a girly, goofy and at times overly dramatic, and energetic girl. Summers at my elementary day care were a blast. I had all of the friends that any girl could ask for but sadly all of them weren’t necessarily as true to me as I had hoped. When I…

Everyone has their beliefs but sometimes they will change in some situations. Nothing is eternal. It was always happen. Like us, we are gradually growing and our thought are changing too. I believe that I need more love from my mother rather than toys when I was young. My grandmother went my all of parents ' meeting instead of my mother when I was in kindergarten. I only saw my mother 3 times during my kindergarten period of four years. I feel very self-abased because I do not have care…

“I told Summer that I would never let anything happen to her, and I failed her. I was determined to get her back. To bring her back home to me” (Preston 106). Determination and perseverance is what The Cellar is all about. After Summer was abducted, the only thing Lewis wanted back was his best friend, his girlfriend. Throughout the book determination is shown. Summer’s determination to get out of her kidnappers home. Lewis’s need to get her back. Colin’s way of not giving up to keep the girls…

In 2013, over 2.6 million adolescents ages 12-17 in the U.S. were estimated to have had at least one major depressive episode (National Institute of Mental Health). That is nearly 11% of the youth in this country. Blinded by my own depression, I never realized the myriad of people experiencing the same thing. Everywhere we look there is a person going through hardship. When faced with challenges in life you have to find your own way out and though depression is a debilitating disease that often…

Education has always been my top priority, but what I don 't comprehend is - why is it? Most people view attending school and studying is mandatory, but I disagree. I usually spend all of my spare time, and even if it 's for one assignment, indulge myself for possibly six-eight hours a day and study in my room. I had a choice from the very beginning - to do the work or to fail, but that question already seems rhetorical as it is. I choose to work hard, not because I had to, but because I believe…

Let me start off by defining what an aphorism is, an aphorism is a true statement intended to share a universal truth (Google.com). In Tuesdays With Morrie, Morrie was a professor who was diagnosed with ALS. This is a terminal disease that attacks a person 's nervous system, slowly making parts of the victim 's body inoperable. While he is dying, an old student of his, Mitch, visits Morrie every Tuesday. Morrie shares a lot of aphorisms with him that taught Mitch Albom, and myself, how to live a…
