There is no such thing as a perfect world. Everyday decisions and sacrifices are made from the moment one wakes up to the second they fall asleep. But some sacrifices in life may be for the love of someone else other than one’s self, whether it be giving up your personal free time, letting go of a personal item for the greater good, or even to risk your life for the well-being of someone else. Either way, choices are made by everyone whether it be for themselves or for others. Thus sometimes…

As a student ready for the completion of my goals and academics, I desire to be apart of the National Honors Society. This society looks for four main qualities: character, leadership, scholarship, and service, and I can assure you that I possess all of these traits. I hope to prove to you throughout this paper that this is so. I am always ready to lead whoever I may need to. I have experience being a worship leader for my youth group, and I know the students in my youth group look up to me to…

Bill Clinton once said “It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.” Every person will eventually face adversity in their life. The person who chooses to face their adversity head on and overcome it, will be the most successful. When I was nine years old I was diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression, but I have chosen to face my adversity in order to overcome it. For many people mental illness is hard to understand if you haven’t…

For years, I’ve reflected on what qualities enable people to overcome adversity. I believe my journey exemplifies that one answer is a synthesis of initiative and resilience. From foster care, to a broken home, to military service, to two tours of duty in the Middle East, initiative and resilience have steered me to where I am today. I was born into poverty to an immigrant mother. When I was 2, my mother’s drug addiction caused me to be placed into the Los Angeles County foster care system. I…

I can’t stand the taste of this nicotine on my tongue, it’s bitter and degrading. But it’s the only hint of heat on this raw and bleak night. It’s cold as hell, which doesn’t make sense because hell could never be cold. It’s always cold here. Fucking Michigan. God’s snow globe. We are all fucking snowmen in this winter-wonderland. Well, most of us, not me though. No, I refuse to follow the ways of these morons around me, who just go on with life as if nothing were wrong. Not giving a shit about…

The Moment My Life Began Throughout High School, I was the typical jock. Going to school for me was a breeze; I never did study but always seemed to get good grades. Being in class all I could think about was being on the football field. In my mind, every second I wasted sitting in class was another second I was not on the field. Realizing that I wanted to be on the football field instead of in the classroom caught up to quicker then I could realize. Being in high school was the closes feeling…

I mean you really need to watch the she wolf video, Its at the bottom, who would direct that? Its SO hilarious. I mean she’s amazing, but You’d think she’d be like damn wtf am I doing?? Hahahaa! I know that’s you in the closet. The only she wolf that’s EVER, “brought me to my knees”. Porn does make people simply sexual objects. I “liked” straight/gay porn 50/50 because the men were less dramatic. I just look at your Adams apple and I am completely content. You came in like a, “wrecking ball”.…

My journey here has been extremely tough, frankly I don’t really know how I survived it all. Thankfully, the gods found some mercy in their hearts to let me live. I was met again with death, but that will not stop me; I am forever determined to make my way back to my home, Ithaca. Once I found my way to land, my dream that once felt so far away wasn’t anymore. I knew that if I was able to survive my first night there without anybody or anything finding me, I would have a good chance. So I…
