All of a sudden, one cannot take another step forward and in that moment the person is stuck, experiencing vertigo. People say that they are afraid of different things, but is fear the definition or is anguish? Others may break a resolution to quit their addiction. The reason for breaking their resolution depends on who explains it. Sartre argues people experience vertigo, addictions and post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) because of anguish. In contrast to Sartre’s view, I will argue anguish…
Coming into college was a scary thought. I was one of those students who loved high school and would not have changed any of it for the world. I came from a small high school in South Dakota. So, coming into college and having thousands of people compared to maybe two hundred in the whole school was a drastic change. I graduated with a class of thirty-two and that is only because we have four foreign exchange students. Transitioning into college was a huge change that I was not ready for. I have…
“Thanks for giving us such a memorable trip,” a group of school mates came to me and said. Seeing their happy faces, I knew that I was right. (right about what?) The adventure began an outdoor education class. The teacher asked us to propose a school trip as the final assignment. We came up with a camping trip idea which attracted interest from many schoolmates. From the point where the staff of Mt.Yunmeng, the only developed camping site in Beijing, told us that we were not allowed to camp…
Life is the ultimate journey, with unseen twists, turns, ups, and downs. Those who focus on negetative aspects only prolong their a sense of dissatisfaction and misfortune. The most exciting fact of life is that nothing stays the same. Your entire reality could potentially change radically by just stepping outside or interacting with events around you. But rather than simply waiting for your fortune to unfold, why not take fate into your own hands. It's impossible to take full control, but…
He invited me to go back inside and sit at my table and I couldn 't reject him. We took our seats and I became so uncomfortable because we were the center of everyone 's attention. He ordered more champagne for me and we continued with our conversation. We talked about so many things regarding the company and our careers, but deep inside, I was curious to know his frustrations and why would a man like him would be dating a woman if he had other interests, I really wanted to know but I didn 't…
that you don’t have to be concerned with if it will be a problem. You asked me that, and it’s ok. I keep telling you that it is about progress not perfection. I feel I understand you enough to where you being emotional is not a problem. I genuinely like that you’re emotional, most men aren’t. We live in a society where we tell our boys and men not to be, and I don’t think that is healthy for the soul. I’m not saying be out here crying every 5 minutes, but being able to express your…
were the life skills of hard work, dedication and perseverance. These skills contributed to my literacy in the sport of soccer. While I was growing up, playing soccer helped me obtain literacy in the area of hard work. Long practices, never ending film sessions and hard fitness workouts contributed to my core understanding of what hard work actually was. In addition, day in and day out, my soccer coaches would preach that greatness comes from the grit of…
Happiness is a hard thing to come by and a goal most people try to achieve. They wander around searching for a purpose in life never imagining the world without their existence, but I 've learned that happiness is achieved not through riches or status but by making the best with the hand you 're dealt. To take it day-to-day and enjoying what little time we have on this beautiful earth. So I plan for tomorrow as if I was immortal and make the most of each minute I 'm given because knowing i gave…
Once and for all I am finally here, standing right in front of this coffee-colored building, with my eyes wide open and my body shaking from head to toes. What I am currently witnessing is something out of this world, nothing like what I was expecting, but so much better. Where I come from, the food is amazing, Cuban food, it is certainly one of my favorite and being at the world 's oldest Spanish and Cuban restaurant is unrealistic. Being excited is not my thing, you see, nothing really…
