“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don 't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”-Lao Tzu. Often humans don’t like sudden changes and being out of their comfort zone. We go through changes all throughout our lives, and often we learn to accept that change or at least adapt to it. Positive changes can help us with life’s situations and negative changes can help us learn to solve situations and…

What really makes us happy? Many people believe it is wealth, family, and fame. Do those factors really affect happiness? Studies have shown that excessive wealth (over $75,000) has no additional effect on happiness, and along with fame may, in fact, decrease it. What really does make us happy?

Most of my life I have allowed others to define me. Not only did I let others assume who I am, I even would (still do) let others make decisions for me. The summer of my junior year I let a lot of people assume things about me. It was an important summer of finding myself in terms of my sexuality. That summer was very hectic because of how I grew up, my family 's values, and how I felt about all of it. It lead to a regretful decision. Before talking about myself, my parents are both Seventh-Day…

The Birth of Jaime and Autumn It was a bitter cold winter day in January 1999 when I arrived at the hospital to be induced. Nine months prior to this day I found out that I was pregnant with twins. When twins are in utero they are known as baby “A” and baby “B”. On that day I felt the same feelings that I was feeling on this day in January. I was scared, excited, nervous and happy all at the same time. My mom was by my side every step of the way and was excited to be going through this…

behind them. Junior Nathan Scott and Nolan King, and sophomore Nick Stogdill. Apparently they had been upstairs in Hickman's room working on Dungeons and Dragons stuff when the cops had found them. Nolan said that they must have completely missed them and they almost passed them twice, but they had seen the computer screen light. They ended up taking them down here. Nolan looked at us girls and said “So how did you guys get down here?” I looked at him and just sat there as one of the art kids…

Goal: Slow down at the heart of the story and use precise details and figurative language. Florida, By: Sydney Driving to the airport was the best part. I was very excited but very sad at the same time. I was sad because this was the first vacation that I had ever been on before and I was sad that I would have to leave my pets. Driving was the best part because that meant we were getting closer to Florida. But knowing I was 5 at the time I started getting really antsy. When…

He walks in, standing a head and shoulders taller than you, wearing his menacing black cape, his boots thumping on the cold hard tile, you can feel the fear start to cloud your mind, all you hear is the thump. Thump, thump, thumping as he walks toward you, you try to run, but you are held back, petrified, all you can do is watch as this black armored man approaches, you can hear him as his mask converts his breath into a menacing scowl, and then, he speaks, and your fear is now gone. It was…
