Most people believe that being an adult is all about how well you can hide the fact that you are still a kid. To others it 's about raising a family and having bills to pay. When you ask an adult what it is like to be in their shoes, they say "Don 't rush to grow up. Enjoy being a kid because once you are no longer a child you 're going to wish you were one again." According to most adults being an adult is not at all what it seems to be. Here 's what I think. If your road to becoming an adult…

Ever since I was little I always wondered why I was never good enough for anything. I felt like I was not good enough for my family, and I still believe this to this day. My family treats me so different than they do to anyone else. I know I was never good enough in school because no one ever wanted me in their class. I strived for straight “A”s and sometimes that just was not enough. I wanted all the extra credit and higher grades than anyone. I made it a mission to do everything that I could…

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…

1 Sometimes I don’t know who I am, where I am, or what I’m doing. I feel imprisoned, sometimes, in a state of eternal dreaming. Although my dreams aren’t happy or fun or kind. They’re just dreams. They’re not real and I’ve known this for a long time. I see waves of sunlight pour through the bathroom window, catching fire to thousands of specks of dust. Dust. Inconsequential to the highest degree. I start to wonder what it would be like to be dust. Abandoned and lonely. Drifting through the…

When strength is mentioned, we tend to think of muscular men such as bodybuilders, policemen, or firefighters. However, strength is more than a physical attribute, its other definition from Webster’s dictionary is “Able to withstand great force or pressure.” Nothing brings this to mind more than my grandmother Barbara Allen. Her life was one of the hardest lives to live. Through all of her life she taught me how to be persistent. To press on through life’s many struggles. Then she taught me how…

I slowly descended the stairs, concentrating on breathing as I went. I felt overwhelmed, anxious and scared all rolled into one. I knew I was where I wanted to be; I just had no idea how I was going to do this. They had a plan, and I just needed to follow it. I focused on inhaling and exhaling, calming myself as I walked through each room, towards the kitchen, taking it all in again. The grandeur of this house, alone, was enough to make my head spin. I was keenly aware that once I stepped into…

Communication skills are human essential method to understand each other and form a society. However a lot of people are worried about their communication skills. I am one of them. We can learn new skills and develop our communication skills through practice. The three skills I want to improve is that Intercultural Skills, Converting “YOU” statements to “I” statements, and Understanding Communication Climates. Just like any other countries, we have our own culture and traditional but not…

“Do you need a help with your backpack” the stewardess asked me in British accent. “Pardon”, I said “I didn’t hear you well”. She repeated, but I still didn’t understand what she was trying to say. I started to panic. “If I cannot understand British English, which I learned in the university for 1 year, how I will understand American English”. “How I am going to study in University in America if I don’t understand simple things the stewardess was trying to say, maybe I should get out of the…
