Moving to the Most Isolated Place on the Earth Two years ago, in 2016, my mother came to me and asked, "How would you feel about moving to Hawaii?" Of course, my first reaction was to freak out and say yes, because who doesn't want to go to Hawaii? Let alone live there. However, moving to Hawaii is not as glamorous as it seems. My mother, my brother, my three cats, my dog, and I had no idea at this time, but we were about to embark on the journey of a lifetime. My mom is a photographer which…

April 4th is my birthday. I turned 15 this year. I had a little party for my birthday and I invited a couple of my friends over. My friend Kammy and my best friend Alenia. Kammy bought me unimportant stuff but Alenia. She bought me a lot of stuff. My favorite gift of all time, my favorite animal, a turtle. It was a yellow-bellied turtle. So, Kammy came home with me after school, I had to do chores so she helped me do them, that took about a half hour to do. Afterwards, we went to my room…

I am a Yo-Yo, always coming back to the one who threw me away. It is my biggest flaw to forgive and embrace the ones who have done me wrong. Sometimes the bond is too strong for me to just simply cast it aside. I am also a mirror, as I can easily see myself. I know myself for who I truly am. I see my strengths and weaknesses. To me the more self-aware I am, the easier it is to fall into depression, but also at the same time, find the beauty in life. I am also a clown, mainly only making myself…

hangs in the air, “Quien es el hombre que la eleva a las estrellas quien de los dos la hizo sentirse más mujer…” The powerful melody of a Spanish ballad becomes my daily wake up call. It feels like home, with my mother playing her favorite Luis Miguel albums while cooking. Like a songbird singing for the crack of dawn, Sandra’s happiness beams in the form of song. It never wavers and is more consistent than the sun in the sky.…

Best day ever! “We feel sorrow, we feel pain, but there’s sunshine after rain so I’m alright” is inspiring song lyrics from Jake Miller. When I first heard Jake Miller on YouTube I knew that wasn’t going to be the last time I heard him sing. Jake Miller is one of the few artists that writes his songs with meaning. The lyrics to his songs are very powerful and inspiring. After a few months of obsessing over Jake Miller, I learned he was coming to town on December 13th and I knew I had to go. The…

“Funny the way it is, not right or wrong. Somebody's broken heart become your favorite song. Funny the way it is, if you think about it, one kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out.” I will never forget the first time the song, Funny the Way It Is, by the Dave Matthews Band made sense to me. I was listening to the Dave Matthews Band Pandora station after I had just played my worst round of golf of the summer after having just played my best round of golf the day before. I was twelve…

I doubt the world would mourn the town of Ibatiba if it suddenly vanished into nothingness. Yet, this small speck on this pale blue dot we live on had anything but a small impact on me. Growing up my sister and I would tease that Ibatiba, my mom's hometown back in Brazil, had more gas stations than businesses and more cows than cars. Despite Ibatiba being seemingly inconsequential, the close-knit community of incredibly lively, jovial, and vibrant individuals who reside there skewed my…

assignment I spent about two weeks to complete this assignment. I completed this assignment mostly in class but I did a portion of it at home. In order, to successfully complete this assignment I needed to pick my favorite songs from her three albums that related to her voice being angelic, what Ariana Grande wore when she had a casual day, and I needed to know when the Manchester attack happened. I was expected do a great job, I feel I did an above-average…

part of something I don’t know. And if you try to hold me back I might explode. Baby, by now you should know. I can’t be tamed.” Her producer kept pushing her to give him a new song so, she decided she would put this intoxicating song on her next album. After hearing this, Apollo’s anger accelerated faster than Dale Earnhardt in a NASAR race. He stormed off Mount Olympus, disguised himself again as a mortal, and rushed to earth. He tracked down this Miley girl to Los Angeles, California,…
