    Often while growing up, we are taught to be good people, to have good morals, and to do others what we would want to have done to ourselves. However, being a good citizen is not stressed nearly as much as being a good person, yet both ideas go hand and hand. The quote "it is impossible to be a good person and not a good citizen" as said by the late University of Arkansas professor Diane Blair, although simple, has a deep meaning. To me, the quote means living the morals I was taught about being a good person while growing up. Having these morals as a young adult and continuing to exercise them today is natural to me, and it follows just as naturally that as I have begun to participate in my community, I am just as naturally contributing, to the community. To me, participating in the community by sharing my passion for the activities that excite me, make me happy, and make me successful, is what being a good citizen is all about. Growing up I had always been the one to sacrifice what I had to give to others. It could have been as small as giving the bigger half of a cookie to a friend to as big as helping my then-boyfriend go to college by supplying him with the last $1000 he needed for school when he could not get a loan. However, growing up I lived in a community that did not allow livestock on our property but unfortunately I was a horse crazy child. Eventually my family got the opportunity to move to a small farm and I got to fulfill my dreams of owning a horse. What I…

    The pain. The pain was unbearable. My mind blanked out in that single moment. I did not notice my eyes watering up, spilling the few droplets of tears streaming through my pain stricken face. My face which had already contorted to an ugly visage: my eyebrows scrunched, my eyes closed, and my teeth clenched. The pain which originated from having my arm twisted at my back, I only remembered three sounds coming out of my mouth: a whimper, a sob and a cry of pain. Three things resonated on my mind…

    In our group presentation, there were areas where are presentation excelled and areas where our presentation could have been improved. Our transitions from one topic to the next lacked fluidity across the board. I struggled with reading the evidence I was using to support my claim which distracted me and the audience. Otherwise, the group was able to smooth talk about their topics without much issue. If we had practiced the speech once or twice, transitions between topics would have been more…

    Approaching the conflictions regarding the controversial skeptical argument of the Brain in A Vat there can be many flaws or holes seen within the argument itself, Moore’s Proof, the Anti-Skeptical argument, and Modus Ponens. Throughout all of these examples many flaws or counter examples arise that can either help or reject the argument by themselves, but when using all together you get a better stance on the argument. Upon closer examination of premise one, I know that I have hands only if I…

    It feels so good when I let the top down on my convertible and feel the wind in my hair as I drive home from work. This would be a lovely night to have some sea food, a glass of wine and some pleasurable sex. Thinking to myself that is truly funny, when I am available for dating no one wants me. As soon as I’m dating someone, which is seems to be married men, they all want me. It seems that even when I try to get away from dating married men, I find out they are married and they are just hiding…

    Why Do We Lie Wrong

    My furrow-browed brother asked me if I had been on his computer, and scrawny six year old me stared back. My mind raced, but the only thing that fell out of my mouth was silence. After all, I had been raised right. Lying was wrong. At the same time, I couldn’t admit to doing wrong. Ergo, silence. I thought I had discovered pure brilliance. If I never admitted to doing wrong, I couldn’t get in trouble. Six year old me had stumbled onto a large part of the human condition quite by accident. …

    In filmmaking and storytelling, a common saying is that “a story is only as good as its antagonist”--and a good film will not only tell the story of its hero, but also its villain. In Memoirs of a Geisha, Hatsumomo (as a character) plays a large importance in Sayuri’s career, from the beginning at the okiya as a maid to the end of Hatsumomo’s own career. The passage where Hatsumomo confronts Sayuri and Mameha for following her (pg. 324-325) would not only translate well to film, but is also…

    Pony Boy Monologue

    Ponyboy was really the first person I could express my opinions to and the first person I could really talk to about how I feel about this stupid social division we have to go by. Even though he doesn’t really understand how we Socs have problems too, I can see that he at least sort of understands- not completely, but just a little… Knowing that he sort of understands is a mixed feeling of relief and just a bit of an absurd feeling as well, I mean, a Soc and a greaser actually having a nice…

    December 10th, 2015 was the day my life would change completely. That was the day that I joined the petitioning crew to get medical cannabis put on the ballot for the 2016 election in the state of Florida. I was nervous, because Florida had already voted that same issue down not even two years prior. I was not going to allow that to happen again. We traveled all around Florida, staying in hotels, working seven days a week, ten to twelve hour days. The work was difficult and extremely tiresome,…
