Come take a journey, to the most remarkable, and magnificent place on earth. Soft and calming music plays as the dove white door imprinted with squares. And a smooth, shiny, seal gray handle creaks open. Entering, a simple dark wood bed laid off-center in the room. With a cozy looking mattress, and soft, velvety blankets draped over the bed. Tawny and tortilla coloured carpet stretches across the ground of the room. Conjointly, walking across the carpet felt like sinking in quicksand. A…
studio design room located in king pavilion at the Iowa State University college of design. In a way it represents the beginning of my journey at Iowa State, for it is the first class room I had ever been in as a student, and its represents hours and hours of hard work and dedication to my major. It is a rather bittersweet place with times where it became a place to put my work on display as well as a place to spend many long nights and very early mornings working and developing. The space…

My ears ring as the old school bus screeches to a halt. We hop off, and a dry, winter gust smacks my face. Instantly, the frigid wind sends my nose running. Walking towards the back door of the school, I grasp the cold metal handle, open it, and slam a piece of wood underneath to keep it ajar. After we become accustom to the cold shock, Mrs. Cimenski, our director, orders us to haul the heavy wooden tables and a set of four lockers toward our designated backstage area. We obtain many scratches…
To understand how I envision my place at God’s table, it is best to start at the beginning. I am the oldest of four sisters and grew up in a working-class neighborhood in the Bay Area of California in a mixed-race family. My mother is Caucasian and my father is Mexican. One of dad’s side, my great-grandmother and great-grandfather immigrated to the United States from Durango, Mexico in the 1930s, settling in the Salinas Valley of California. Both great-grandparents worked as migrant farmers to…
(Groom). The painting by Van Gogh entitled Bedroom at Arles (Figure 1) in 1889 (oil on canvas) held a remarkable significance for him, embodying a sense of stability and independence, where he could freely work to express his creativity. The term home has many different connotations, but in each it refers to a sense of belonging and…
Slipping into bed, Katie asked, “Millie, what happened?” “I don’t know, Kate. I was riding Pete’s bike and the next thing I knew, I was laying on the sidewalk. They wanted to keep me overnight, but I used my best begging voice, so Dad said I could come home. No Olympics tonight, Mom would have a fit if my scratched face got blood on the sheets.” “Okay. Maybe tomorrow, Millie.” The voice of the weatherman from the television echoed up the stairs as Millie drifted to dreamland, “. . . Chance of…
wouldn 't look into my eyes, I 'm not sure he has the whole time I 've been here. "What do you mean? You can 't just stop loving me!" I let out a nervous laugh, my hands were starting to shake and I could feel the tears in my eyes. "You can 't just throw three years away!" I screamed, anger taking over me. "Clara, things change! I 'm sorry but I just can 't anymore!" He yelled back at me, finally looking up at me as tears swam in my eyes and ran down my cheeks. I pressed my lips together and…
I think that my dorm room is a representation of my front-stage behavior. This is the case because although it is my room, I share it with a friend, and although it is our room, we often have other people in it with us. Dorm rooms are a space in which friends can gather for a party, to study together, or even to watch this week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy. It is more of a public space than a private space in which I can be alone. I keep my dorm room in a manner in which I would publically…
