Growing up people use to always tell me, "be careful of the company you keep." Being that I was so young at the time, I didn 't quite understand what that meant. As time passed and I got a little older, I began to understand a little more and became aware of who I hung around. I was nice to everyone, including people I didn 't know but sometimes that 's not a good thing. I 've learned that you can 't allow everybody to come into your home, even if you’re related. It all started when I decided…

Personal Wholeness, according to my definition, is not a specific destination. It is a process full of steps we must all take in order to better ourselves in every aspect of our lives. In the Bible, being whole is described as “Shalom” which means completeness, health, peace, welfare, rest, harmony etc. We are called as Christians to live our lives to the absolute fullest (John 10:10) and in order to do this, we must take every area in our live into account when trying to move closer to gaining…

This paper has taught me so many different things about my thoughts on God. When I first started this paper, I did not know if anything would be able to change my opinion. When I started my paper, my goal was to find some proof that there was no such thing as God. Instead, I found many different sides to this complex argument. The Life of Pi tried to make a significant argument of why God did exists. Thomas Aquinas showed me different sides to many arguments about God. Finally, my…

Short Story – Christopher Boone Entry point in the novel: after the end of the novel in the future To a Great Mind Nothing Is Little1 My watch alarm woke me at 8:00 a.m. from my favourite dream, the one where everyone in the world has died. When I open my eyes to see the bottom of the empty bunk bed mattress above me, I remember that my very first day of University is today and I feel heavy. I had prepared with my family a lot for this day, by moving into the Share House and living far away, I…

What’s a stereotype? A stereotype is to believe unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same. It’s a bad trait that most human beings have and do every day without even noticing. We tend to “Judge a book by its cover.” But you never know what could be in that book, may it just be a clear white cover with just the authors name, or a colorful active cover, that seems more appealing. It’s all about the material inside, that we wouldn’t know what that material is…

The memories of his childhood continue to only bring only fear and sadness. I look back at the lone hours in vast and see that I have lived in the same old cave where there is nothing I can do to bring happiness into my life. The cave was a horrible place, full of passages, where you can only see the cobwebs and shadows. There was never light and so sometimes, I used to light candles to look at what is outside. I had always wished to go outside in the real world, and go into the society. But, I…

Professor Gunderson, I’m sending this from my personal email because I don’t want some of the more personal things I’m going to say to be stuck in my D2L forever. Maybe the fact that this is going to your MSU email is a bit counterproductive, but at least it won’t be in my D2L account and you’re leaving anyway so maybe they’ll wipe your email memory. I hope that you know that what I was saying was mainly tongue-in-cheek. I do not really imagine anyone, let alone yourself, will write…

As I watched my daughter sleep in her crib not having a care in the world, my heart filled with despair. Not being able to provide for my daughter Ava hurt me so bad I cried myself to sleep that night. I stood in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children for almost three hours the day before the government shutdown. I watched my mother rely on the government to take care of us and I followed in her footsteps. I wish I would have been paying attention to the…

Annie Lucas HON 1700 Personal Narrative Essay 22 September 2017 My entire life had led up to this very moment, one that I had painted much differently in my mind. I knew that it was this day that I would forever step out of the dark, lonely closet and accept myself for who I am. I promised that I would never deny myself the right to live life as my true self ever again. However, this giant leap into freedom wasn’t so relieving as I had thought it would be. My world started to crumble around me,…

Perfection is not sameness, it requires being diverse and unique. If the whole world was intelligent, the universe would collapse because everybody would be the same. But some people do not realize that it is better to be yourself than changing yourself to be someone else. In the novel Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, the main character, Charlie changed who he was by getting an operation to make him smart but nothing good came out of it. He was very lonely afterwards and he lost his friends…
