It was 8 PM on a Friday evening. It was foggier than usual, but it was still a very nice night. Today was valentines day and I was taking a cab home from the airport where I work to my house in Brooklyn. A majority of my friends got the day off today but unfortunately not myself. Valentines day is one of my favourite times of the year and it was very disappointing that I could not get the day off. Valentines day is bittersweet for me. I met the love of my life a few years ago on this day. His…

How Nick Vujici is an example of a creator is that when people drag him down due to being born with no arms nor legs, he still got right back up and fought twice as hard right back. How instead of walking away from his problems he approach them and overcome it. At one point he did play the role of a Victim and just wanted to the easy way out from his misery. But every time he attempted to commit suicide it’s like God saved him. From the youtube video, he said “... I am here for a reason, sure…

Going above and beyond my comfort zone was the aim that I had for this project. I wanted to think outside of the box and interview someone whom I have not known for a great amount of time. After brainstorming about which person I should seek to interview, the thought finally occurred to me. Over the past few weeks, I have downloaded an app from the Apple iTunes store onto my iPhone. The app, Stigma is a social networking app that allows you to anonymously obtain pen pals. You have the option of…

(1) Currently, I am not too happy with what is going on with my life right now. I am not too happy because I feel somewhat isolated and alone sometimes. I live on campus and I am in a coed fraternity, but I feel that I am not living a “college student’s life” so to speak. I don’t like to “party” and I can be pretty quiet at times, and I feel like that makes me somewhat of an “outcast” from the world. I don’t want to change myself of course, but I sometimes wish people could accept me more for…

Ariel 's P.O.V. I 've been here a week and still "he" hasn 't come looking for me, maybe "he" figured out why I 'm running, now all that 's left is to get that damn song out of my head...

I remember that day when our eyes first met you ran into the building to get out of the rain cause you were soakin ' wet as you held the door you wanted to know my name timing is everything you can call it faith or…

There was a special bond the three of them shared and when Mike was shot, it shook Rafael and Sonny to the core. Especially Sonny. He was not only a lover but a fellow squad member and police officer. Everything was touch and go during the night. At first, the doctors were unsure if Mike would make it or not until the surgery was over with. After the surgery, Mike remained unconscious but stable. There was no way Sonny could sleep. And whenever he did he envisioned Mike dying and him attending…

Work Ethic What work ethic means to me is to be prepared and eager to work on a task. No matter what the task is you will be ready and willing to do whatever is necessary to make sure that task will get done when it needs to get done. I was told that this may be one of the most important traits of a person because it can get you jobs, it can be leave the biggest impression on people that may be important to you, make you pass or fail classes, it can just make you an all around better person if…

My plant is a sunflower. Sadly, I don 't have one but I would love to have one. I have seen one in the "wild". I don 't think that it would be conisdered as wild though but I have seen one outside of my city, in Baguio City in the Philippines, to be exact. In a hidden town, hundreds of years before, there were two people who loved each other and remained loyal to each other no matter what. The girl 's name is Noronia, and she is the daughter of a sultan. Her lover 's name is Gamaluddin, just…

“Can you promise me something?” Maybe it was the serious tone in his voice, or, just that particular arrangement of words, but Shawn’s question made Celia panic. “That depends…” she said with hesitance. “Promise me you’ll wipe the extra ice cream off my face before we leave.” Celia instantly relaxed and began laughing. “You know,” said Shawn, his tone heavy with sarcasm, “it’s rude to laugh at people. Especially those with disabilities.” Celia gasped dramatically. “How dare you accuse me of…

Challenges play an important role in people 's life. At the time it may seem bad, but there is a positive side to it. Everyone has challenges in their life, within those challenges there is a lesson to learn. The main challenge that I had to go through had affected me both physically and mentally. Domestic violence is not an easy thing to go through, yet again the worse part is to go back and talk about it. My family consists of six people: my father, mother, older sister, little sister and…
