J is for the jitters. We’re all nervous about making a difference as we go out into the world and being something bigger than ourselves. For that though, I think Jim Carrey said it best when he said “like many of you, I was concerned with going out into the world and doing something bigger than myself, until someone smarter than myself made me realize that there is nothing bigger than myself. My soul is not contained within the limits of my body; my body is contained within the limitless of my…

I grew up quickly last year and realized that I don't get to control the consequences of my actions. One of the other big things I learned as well is that I don't get to choose the consequences of other people's actions either. I learned things about myself that I'm glad I know but it was difficult for me to come to terms with until I had n choice but to face the deepest and darkest fears in my life. I Learned what it meant to be a grown up and I realized that I was vastly unprepared and scared…

A person lies many times in their life, for example hiding a surprise, faking being sick to not go out, or saying that a gift was great when it wasn’t. These little lies are usually used to prevent hurting someone’s feelings or to make them feel better. Sometimes one of these little lies can progress into to something that blows up into a person's face,and it makes them wonder why they even lied in the first place. A time in which this happened to me I didn’t even realize the lie until later on…

It was a dark gloomy night, rain drips slowly down my window as I awake in the hospital bed. I didn’t know how or why I was there, I tried calling the nurse. But no one answered, I didn’t know what was happening. The last thing I remembered was me and my partner getting shot at, trying to lock up a criminal for robbing a local gas station. I unhooked the machines from my arm, and tried to push open the door. But for some reason it wouldn’t even budge, after pushing the door with everything I had…

A week had gone by. Two weeks, then three. Finally a month had gone by and we were ready to turn in our finished video. It was the largest video project the five of us had undertaken and it had taken us the better part of four weeks to finish, but we finally crossed the finish line with a lengthy five minute short film. This is the feeling I had after finally finishing the short film that a small group of five of us were tasked with creating. Each of us did our part, and being the leader of the…

I have had a rough year but I have been controlling myself a lot better than i have. My temper is really bad and I have harmed a couple of kids and myself. I hate the fact that i hurt those kids because i felt like a dad to them. They loved me and i loved them and i cant express in words how bad i felt. I have learned how to control my temper and it has made a world of difference to my attitude. At the beginning of this year I didn't even feel like i was myself. I did some terrible things to…

Back then during middle school, I was one of those kids who just didn't get along with anybody, I was always alone and was pretty much bullied by other kids who thought they were better than me in every way imaginable. Sometimes people are cruel and they still are, but that doesn't mean you return the feeling otherwise your no better than the people who did it to you. It was during lunch that a boy came up to me and starting calling me names, just like any other day. It went on like this for a…
