“Life is a game, play it; Life is a challenge, meet it; Life is an opportunity, capture it”-Unknown. My Uncle Steve lived by this, until he no longer could not. I was never close with him because he lived so far away but he was always my role model. Suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder, I never thought I could do anything with my life. Sitting down and working on anything was nearly impossible, discouraging me from believing I could accomplish anything. I’ve tried medication after…

When I think of the word “help” my mind always goes to the dreadful day that I could have lost my life making a foolish and non-nonsensical decision in the summer of 2015. This story reminds me of the helplessness I felt after I made that decision. It was a sunny day, here in Burlington, WA, I could hear the birds chirping,and I could feel the cool breeze outside coming into my room from the open window. Today was the day that me and my whole family, including my cousins, were going to go to…

My favorite high school memory happened during Christmas break when all the things in the world could go wrong went wrong but at the end of all of it, It turned out to be one of the best memories I have ever had. My night started at eight pm. I went over to my friend Matt illig. after I got over there one of my other friends met up with us we sat around for a couple of hours then finally we decided to go drifting in Matts car. We drove all over the gravel roads in town we got bored…

I believe that everything happens for a reason, and at the age of seventeen I have acquired many lessons, and have been thrown into the scorching sun like the prisoner in Greek philosopher, Plato’s story, Allegory of the Cave. I have been mentally, physically, emotionally, and verbally abused by the very people who were supposed to show me love, security, and affection. I have felt the feeling of loneliness, stress, and confusion; but one challenge I’ve faced, and still facing is being…

As my time at Rockhurst comes to a close, I have realized that the most important lessons that I have learned has been how to be a well-rounded young man. Since my first day, I have heard that the charge of the Jesuit schools, going back to St. Ignatius of Loyola, is to create “men and women for others” and to instill the ideals of the “grad at grad” repeated countless times. While I did not know what those sayings meant at the time, I now know that Rockhurst has prepared me to be a leader and…

The first time I remember hearing the whispers was when I was 5 years old. Maybe I had heard them before, but this is my first actual memory of them. I was walking through the woods with my mother, she wanted to show me the flowers that had grown on the forest floor. I don’t know how long we walked before I heard them. At first, it was like the wind, softly blowing against my ears. But as we walked further into the woods. They louder they became. The louder they were, the more distressed I felt.…

Grass Ceiling “Are you kidding me?” I groaned boisterously as the last remaining trimming string snapped and the weed whacker gradually churned to a stop. I had been so consumed by my thoughts of planning my senior speech, crafting my life plan of becoming a nurse anesthetist, and figuring out what I wanted to eat for breakfast, I failed to notice my quickening pace and that I had outworked the machine. It was a humid Sunday; the grass was still wet with morning dew when I had abruptly woken up…

I chose the quote by Alice Walker, “Don’t wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself.” One part of the phrase, “Don’t wait around for other people to be happy for you…” this part of the quote told us that you should not want only other people to be happy and loving towards you. In the second part of the phrase, “Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself.” It tells us that you should believe in yourself and you should follow your…
