About Time

eventually committed suicide (815). Sexton’s poem is written about the speaker’s past self and experiences; we could assume that the speaker of the poem is actually her. The speaker is reminiscing on many of the things that she has been in the past, for example, a witch and a caretaker. The poem seems to highlight the speaker’s personal experiences and attitudes, which gives the poem a significant and friendly tone. The readers do not know much about the speaker except that she is…

minutes trying to not think about anything. It worked for me, all I did was clear my head and just focus on how I was breathing. My breathing pattern was weird, I would breathe in for two seconds then I would breathe out. It’s funny because if you think about you’re the one controlling your breaths and you decide if you want to breathe or not like you could just not breathe at and just hold it in, but that’s way harder. People that can hold their breath for a long time amaze me because I think…

kids were drag racing up and down the highway. The time was about 7:30 when Milton's wife Stacy came out and told him it was time to come inside and eat. The slanders have two kids, Blade and Emma. They are having fresh cut juicy steak, mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. After they all get done eating they all sat around the tv and watched Sunday night football. While they were watching football Breaking News came across the screen. The news was about a massive gorilla in South Africa going…

would be able to count on watching it with my family every time it aired. We put aside our individual tasks and problems and gathered around the TV every Friday to watch Five-O. The shows characters gave prominent examples of leadership, honor, and morals, and many lessons from the show still stick with me today. Hawaii Five-O taught me a lot of things about family and what’s really important, and it brought me closer to my family every time we sat down to watch it. As soon as the show first…

others I was able to find closure in my own mind. When I went back and looked at my first writing about myself, it helped me to bring order to my thoughts once again. The first questions that we were asked was, when I felt most attached and when I felt I was least attached. I still feel these times hold those places, but why they hold that place in my heart and mind is so much more clear. I spoke about how I felt very attached and secure when I was growing up due to the close family I was raised…

family, they’re the ones who will always be there for us. They will lift us up when we are down and they’ll straighten our path when our road becomes a little curvy. They will love us unconditionally, no matter how many times you mess up. And that’s the one really good thing about family. You can scream, rip each other’s head off, and mistreat each other, but deep down, nothing can change the love we have in our hearts. Each of the families in “Planned Parenthood” is completely different from…

on my own time, and not expect the teachers to hand me everything. When it comes to taking notes now it’s my job to pay attention; not sit around waiting for the answers to show up. I have to write key points for quizzes or test coming up, and check my email for new information constantly! The thing about college I don’t enjoy is constantly relying on technology. Classes only take up a time frame from fifty-five minutes to three hours. Which means you have to spend about double the time in class…

are times to give up, and times to not give up, and sometimes even though giving up might seem like the right option, not giving up can lead to great success. My senior year of High school was hectic. Not only did I have the stress that comes from school work, I also started working too, to hopefully get some experience, and also, have some change in my pocket. I had landed a pretty sweet job at an Insurance company named All…

but, the few days that you get time off makes everything worth it. The only work that you do on your time off is figure out how to spend it. In the article “You Don’t Need More Free Time” by Cristobal Young, he discusses the controversy about whether we want free time out of our busy lives to spend with family/friends or to just have time to spend with ourselves. On one hand, most will agree that without friends or family to spend time with, there is no value in the time that you get off. On the…

college or going to be going to college? Let me give you this warning: you only get one shot to do it right! Who am I to say this? I have been to several huge universities (University of Texas and Arizona State University), I started over several times, went to several community colleges, strictly online colleges, joined all different kind of clubs, lived in different dorms, apartments, and at my parents while going to college, and got a bachelor’s and a master’s degree. Considered by many a…
