Growing up as an only child to a single parent who worked two jobs to pay the bills taught me a great deal about life. I was not only taught to work hard, but also to be dedicated to by my goals. I saw the injustices of life in ways other children were sheltered from. I remember how difficult it was for my mother to work 16 hours and still provide a home cooked dinner for me, and during that dinner listen to how my day was spent. There were even some days she had to take me to work with her at…

My writing A good academic writer is one who includes evidence, structure, specifics, and facts to prove a point. I 'll be taking in account two positions that I have encountered in what I’ve read, in Michael Berube’s and Anthony Petrosky’s text. Berube talks about how analyzing is better than summarizing a paper. As in giving all what good academic writing is. My experiences with writing is horrible, I sit in my room for hours trying to figure out what my first sentence should be. What I value…

For centuries, people have found some sort of comfort/aid in the various genres and sounds of music. Although, with these different genres of music, people with different backgrounds can listen to something they can relate to, or maybe something that makes them feel good. Throughout the years, music has changed for both the good and not-so good, from bringing kids closer to God, to including more vulgarity. Those are just some of the ways music has changed within popular culture. Music is also…

I am an introvert. There, I said it. I am a complete wallflower at parties, even ones that I am hosting. I prefer to hide out in a remote corner or the kitchen, whichever has fewer people near it. I have been an introvert as long as I can remember. I am no good at sports. I can’t strip an engine down and rebuild it. My social graces are lacking, to put it mildly. Small talk either eludes me or drives me crazy. But words, as long as I don’t have to say them to other people, have always…

Reading and writing is a way that people can express themselves in a unique way. Reading and writing has been a popular hobby for people over a course of many years and a source of great entertainment. People write stories as a way of entertaining themselves and some sell these writings and end up making great profit from it. Some writers create beautiful poems and share their feelings through these poems to different audiences. There are many people that write because they can put their…

want to see in the world. It’s the way they view themselves that stops them. It is because they do not see wings therefor believe they will fall short of reaching the stars. They just do not know. They have enough potential in their hearts to rocket them past the moon, the stars, and the rest of the universe. Changing a community, a city, or the whole world all starts with seeing it in one’s own eyes. It starts with the way one view themselves. In the legendary song “Man in the Mirror” (Jackson)…

After reading The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, I realized how our lives are both similar and completely different. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that someone who is fairly famous and someone who has no significance in this world can be alike in many ways. Having read this book a few years back, it was actually helpful to me. It may have been helpful in the most indirect way possible, but helpful nonetheless. The Glass Castle had a small part in helping me through my…

I’ve known many people throughout my life, some have stayed and some have gone. I would say some have had an impact in life and others have caused me misery. However, the one person that has made a difference in my life has been Fabio Rodriguez. He has shown me what it’s like to love yourself and value what you have. He has been my rock and solidity when I have felt alone and unsure. He has held me when I just needed comfort rather than words, he has been the one person to understand me to my…

On a young day, I learned responsibility in the most amazing way possible. The start of the day became a wonder, as I saw something different while eating breakfast. I went to ask my mom some questions. She vaguely answered them, and the day went on normal as any other summer day. When my dad got home, he was carrying a tiny cage. After this the family gathered around him to see what he had brought. Following this he opened the cage for a small dog to greet my family. Then my father pulled me to…

I have known my best friend (and significant other) for around eight years now. We met in 8th grade and went to the same junior high, high school, and (briefly) college together. This relationship is extremely important to me and I constantly strive to improve on what we already have. Compared to when we first met, our communication in general is completely different now than then. Our relationship falls under the umbrella of interpersonal communication as we communicate in different ways while…
