Betrayal Why does everything have to be so perfect in this world, I am completely the opposite. My life is a typhoon, before the 9 October 2012 it was a disgrace. I am the type of person who is shy, who can’t stand up for them selves and is smart but make stupid decision, which are irreversible. Although I am young; but I have experience with the worst situations in life. Growing up, I was spoiled, but when I was 10 I got kidnapped, because my parents where rich billionaires who owed the…
China I crossed the border into Shenzhen China February 3rd, 2018. After a rather delightfully easy border crossing it was time to figure out how to get to Guilin. I walked ten minutes to the bus terminal. My map on my phone said I arrived but I wasn’t too sure. Nothing was written in English outside and I didn’t see any buses. I found a counter and walked up, the lady didn’t speak any English. I pulled out my phone to use the translator, asking for one ticket to Guilin tomorrow morning. After…
Just go with the flow. It is a phrase I’m sure we have all heard as a small bit of advice. But is it really the best option? When we are faced with a challenge or a hardship, do we just roll with it, or do we actively work to change it? Lao Tzu argued the best option would be to go with the flow. He believed that life was like a downward stream that we all went down on rafts. Additionally, he states that attempting to go upstream would only make you miserable in the process (Austin 384). To put…

“Hurry up Daniel! You're gonna miss the bus!”. It was the start of the 7th grade today and more importantly, it was the end of summer. I wasn’t ready for school to begin. No one is ready for school, and why should they be, summer is not long enough. For the first day of school I needed to look my 10/10 so I combed my beautiful flowing hair that made me look like a handsome Justin Beiber, running out to the bus. Getting onto the bus I tripped up the steps, made my way to the back and… What the…
“Get some sleep. Think about what your opponent will do. Be responsible. You are playing for your partner not just yourself. Eat a good breakfast and be ready to play.” These are the final words from my tennis coach before the biggest tennis matches of my life… and they went through one ear and out the other of most of the team. Last year my partner and I made it to state in Boise, and we made it to the second day of the tournament after winning our first two matches, which were very long and…

“Turn on the TV, press 5 on the remote control and turn up the volume so that I can hear the horoscope for today. If I am not back in time or I miss something about my sign, pay attention because I will ask you later on to tell me.” – This was how my day used to start until some months ago. The same sentences I would hear from my mum with the same unchanged enthusiasm every day, and I too, would not get tired wondering how astrology could have such a great importance in a person’s way of…
Kayla was walking from her 5th period class to go to lunch. Meeting with her friend Victoria she looks at Victoria tray and notice a big oversize chicken, greasy fries, no fruit or vegetables.
