It is crazy to think that an intangible object can almost define your relationship with someone. A relationship meaning your parents, a sibling, a family member, a good friend, a teacher, a spouse or significant other, or even someone you do not really know. There are a lot of components that go into a good healthy relationship; there is communication, respect, affection, responsibility, and transparency. But there is also something called trust, without it you might as well not have a…

In my Persuasive Speech on the topic of Why College Shouldn’t be Free? I felt like my overall speech was honestly pretty genuine and had a really good point of view on the topic that made it very relatable to the audience. If I had to narrow it down to 3 things that I needed to work on it would be: pacing back and forth, rambling and finishing my speech off better with a good conclusion. On the brighter side of things my better things that I did were: Being calm and collected throughout the…

The life we live is like an open sea. At times, it hurls violent waves on us, completely throwing us off our tracks. Usually, the only way to recover from the blows that constantly blind us as we journey along is to fight with our strongest will possible. I have lived the kind of life I consider extraordinary. My father use to assault my mother and when I was a young girl. On almost a daily basis, he would send me to my room, lock me in there and abuse my mother. She was never the type to fight…

How I Know I Matter To My Friends Over the years I have become really good friends with a lot of people. However, I have two friends that absolutely mean the world to me and they will tell you the same thing. These two guys are named Jacob Bullock, and Will McCoy. They both went to a rival school “West Jones” while I went to Laurel High. Will and I met each other as soon as we started kindergarten. We both went to Saint Johns for elementary school.

While reading Julius Caesar I have come to resonate with the constant theme of betrayal. I have written about a certain person before and I have found that our relationship seems to only revolve around this unfortunate motif. Quite ironically, the way Brutus’ relationship with Julius Caesar is portrayed in the novel, somehow reminds me of my current situation. So in a more modern twist, here are 22 life lessons I have learned after being betrayed. 1 When it's the end of the night and…

I was walking to the gym on a cool, windy, May day ready for my state championship gymnastic competition. It’s crazy and my belly won’t stop churning. It’s churning and churning, quickly, It just won’t stop, but I need to do this. At the same time I’m excited. It’s state! My mom and grandma is going to watch which just makes me feel a little bit more anxious, but I know that they will support me in the end. They always do, even if I know I didn’t reach my full potential. “Team Hurricane!” the…

The sun was fading west as he headed home. Oliver’s breathing remained steady as he broke into a sprint. As he finished the final kilometre of his run, he felt the wind rushing against him, as if challenging him to go faster. His body became a machine, with each step deliberately calibrated to maximize his velocity. Reaching his destination, a new song began playing on his phone: “Ride” by Twenty One Pilots. The words resounded in his mind: “We have a list of people that we would take, a bullet…

As said by Bertrand Russell, “War does not determine who is right - only who is left.” It took me by surprise when I was walking by a store there happened to be a young man in a ragged united states military uniform sitting on the ground with a coffee can in between his boots. “Spare change for a soldier?”, Asked the young man. He looked up and asked a woman walking by. “Oh, you poor dear, All I have is 5 dollars on me”, said the woman with a doleful look on her face. I happened to be…

Ok I just needed to find the perfect shoes to go with my dress... I went to my room and looked under my bed for my plain black flats. Since I was going to a party, I was trying to avoid my feet hurting from heels. "Got it!" I yelled from my room and walked to the living room where Regina was now standing.…
