The song “Better Than This” is performed by my favorite country artist, Hunter Hayes. The song is about how Hunter knew he was born to do something great, and he takes action to pursue his dream in music. He talks about the complications he went through, and he knows it will all turn out in the end. This song taught me that chasing your dream is not a clear and easy path; you have to be able to stand up to the complications “Better Than This” is mostly made up of approximate rhymes, like born…

My first time in a mental institution It started out as a good day, I was happy but at the same time I could feel everything slowly slipping away from me. While I was at work my mood suddenly took a turn for the worst I decided to pick up a pair of scissors that were sitting there on my register. My first thought was maybe just a small cut and you’ll feel better, all you have to do is just cut once and everything will be fine, so I did but I couldn’t stop there so I kept on cutting and that’s…

I enter the music room really nervous about asking Mia to the Yo-Yo Ma concert, What if she say “No”. I mean I have done this other time so why am I nervous so I am just going to ask her, “Have you heard of the Yo-Yo Ma dude?”. She rolls her eyes and say “Everyone’s heard of the Yo-Yo Ma.” I grin and hooked my ringed thumb out toward the quad, “I don’t think you’ll find five people out there who’ve heard of YO-YO Ma. And by the way, what kind of the name is that? Is it ghetto or something? Yo Ma…

“I’ve got it! There’s something in human flesh.” Vincent rolled his eyes. “There’s lots of things in human flesh. Protein, fat molecules....” Steven kept on like he hadn’t heard the sarcasm in Vincent's voice. “That’s not all.” “Enlighten me then.” The amber liquid splashed against the vial in Stevens hand competing for attention with the broad smile on his face. “It’s us,” he said. “We are the cure.” “What are you talking about man? Spit it out already.” The 20-hour shifts were getting…

Insurgent began with a very interesting and fast-pasted start beginning only an hour after the previous book in the series Divergent. I thought this was very well done by the author because while it would have been better to read the previous book in the series, the way the author Veronica Roth wrote the book, any reader that did not read the previous book Divergent would be able to understand what was going on in the plot of the book by the end of the first chapter. Roth’s’ writing style made…

In a cave deep deep down….A ghost name Twitch with his older brother Jack and his “gang” were going about there normal routines, until this very moment…. “Hey guys, where is my gameboy?” Twitch asked “No, I haven't seen it,” everyone replied in a mysterious voice. “Where did you guys hide it now?” Twitch asked.(What he meant by this time is that Twitch’s brother and his “gang” would always make fun of twitch because he like the game Pac-Man.He also didn't look like everyone else.When he was born…

After all the struggling, the bad times, today it might finally be over. Yesterday I was scavenging around Weston Street today to find any supplies worth taking. Weston Street is the most dangerous location of New Junction City if that’s even possible. It’s dominated by various gangs and groups who only looked out for themselves. I had heard what keeps them in power was this thing called “Magic”. I had to be fast my whole life in order to live. I haven’t had anyone to help me since I was a baby,…

Never Give Up on Your Dreams Loud cheers, big rounds of applause that can be heard from the entire continent, and people throwing flowers my way as they shout my name. The echo bounced from wall to wall waking everything in its presence. Bright lights shining upon me, bringing everything to life. Ever since I was a little girl, acting has always been a passion of mine. My life consisted of being on and off the stage. At the age of eight, I performed in my first show. The show was portrayed…

Three…Two...One… Beep...Beep...Beep. My day starts off my my alarm clock waking me up at 7:20 and I press the snooze button so I can get an extra five minutes of sleep. Three...Two...One Beep...Beep...Beep turn off my alarm. I looked at my phone to see what time it is and it is 7:20. I stretch my body so I can get out of bed and then I rub my eyes to get the eye bugger out if I have any. Then I hop out of bed and put on my sandals. I open my door and walk down the stair slowly. While walking…

After another phone call to Betty without getting an answer, Louise placed her hands on the sides of her face and moaned. “Oh me, I’ve tried so hard to get through to that stubborn woman and to think I was even willing to work with her, but I was wrong. She might be a bitch, but I still need her help.” “Wait a minute,” Louise thought placing her hand over her mouth.”Oh my God, I know what I can do. She might be the mayor’s wife, but she will learn I am just as brilliant as she is. She…
