The preconceived idea of promoting our feelings while hiding behind the screen of a laptop or smart phone, is leading to the demise of relationships. The only way to end this form of cowardice is through education. Education begins at home. At first, it was easy to blame America’s youth for abusing technological advancements, but through time I came to realize that parents are just as much to blame. Parents fail to set rules and proper examples. When children witness their parents fighting with…

1. Arrghhh!! (Opening his eyes), I have been isolated in the darkness of silence. I was trapped within the four walls, just like a bird in a cage counting on days for life to get over or to get the freedom to fly. You may be worried about why I screamed? Sorry if I scared you. I just had a bad dream where I lost all of my chances to get my memory back. Yeah, you may call me Psycho that everyone calls me. I remember nothing. I don 't know anything. Heck, not even my name but you can call me…

Do you still have faith in your dreams or did you already kill them? To this day there are many people that hate what they are doing for a living. Why do they hate it? Probably because they are doing something that they don’t love and they settle for less. Where did their dream go wrong? What caused them not to follow their dreams anymore? If you ask people these questions they would probably come up with a million excuses of what caused them to dismantle their dreams. In her TED presentation,…

Some believe that the results of a survey can completely describe an individual’s personality. After completing both of the surveys I agree with this opinion. For the love style survey I was given at least a 36% in each of the five categories. For the Avoider category I received a 36%. For the Pleaser category I received a 79%. For the Vacillator category I received a 71%. For the Controller category I received a 43%. For the Victim category I received a 43%. For the animal survey I received…

People who decide to join the long distance relationship is normally determined and self-confident. In the very beginning, when these young couples make the decision of bearing the physical distance in order to get a better education or better job, they have to be determined. They have to be confident about both their relationship and themselves. In addition, people in long distance relationship are most likely to be tolerant and organized. Physical distance can be very hard because people can…

The perspective of a work of literature changes from the first time you set your eyes on it. My point of view of the poem Porphyria’s Lover by Robert Browning changed drastically from the beginning of this research project till now. As I looked into information over this poem and different aspects about it, I began to have more of an open mind towards it and understand the true meaning behind it. I learned that poetry has more to it that just the words that were printed on the page. It allowed…

Attack of the Zombies As I drive to school, I look out the window and see nothing but little kids running around and people walking; all I feel is depression. Atlanta has a population of 443, 775 and soon it’ll be 443, 774. Everyone who lives here seems to be so happy, but I’m a caged animal who is ready to fly away. I’m about to graduate and I cannot wait to go to Julliard. This town is full of scum-sucking bullies. I guess the girl with a drunken mother and a father who committed suicide…

The bell was about to ring to signal the end of lunch. I had already walked over to stand in front of the exit so I could be one of the first ones to leave. There were already a few people standing there, the type of people that like to be early to class, but I was just impatient, and didn’t want to wait behind anybody. More people had slowly started coming and getting in line, waiting for the bell. The clock was right above me. I looked up and counted down the seconds in my head.…

Reality versus Perceptibility Growing up I remember watching so many books, shows, and movies about high school. A few of them taught lessons. A few of them portrayed high school to be the greatest time or the worst time of your life. Some even went above and beyond to show you what high school was about, while staying true but being overly dramatic. By growing up in the age of technology watching the tv was basically and everyday thing. Even tho sometimes it was turned into a privilege.…

Dad began to heal. He was still weak, but he was doing better than he did before. Dad was smart. He knew something was up. He grew depressed, drowning his depression in alcohol. He drank everyday. He called Mom vile names. He was violent and cruel. He wasn 't how a father should be, with telling me of what a “slut” my mother was. My heart broke at the words. The second day that I realized that I lost my mother was when she turned to pills. She would take a lot of them, becoming sick of Dad…
