We use the way of knowing (WOK’s) to explain why things are the way they are and how we make sense of everything in the world around us. The Wikipedia article about Scopes, Inherit the Wind and personal experiences can help explain how we see the ways of knowing being used in actuality. Through one of the ways of knowing, physiology, we can prove out existence on earth. We are living humans and we do need certain things to survive. We became the way we are, of course through God, but, speaking…

It was Friday, January 8th, 2016, the day that started a new beginning (at least in my mind). It started like any other day with me sleeping soundly in my memory-foam bed. I remember I was in the middle of a dream where I was back in my high school AP (advance placement) United States History class being taught by Coach Hunter. I was with my old friends sitting towards the back of the class joking around and having a good time and then out of nowhere a sudden jolt awoke me from my slumber. It…

One thing I know for sure is that if you give up, you can 't succeed. It 's just a basic law of the universe. Success only comes to people who work for what they want. Unfortunately, giving up can be easy to do. It always seems like the easier option when faced with hard work, struggle, or a little bit of pain. But, in the long run, it is the more difficult option. Why? Because after you give up, you look back on life and think, "What could I have done? Who could I have been? Where would I be…

Rock bottom hurts. I’m not sure even to this day which hurt more, my way to rock bottom, hitting every stick and stone on the way down, or the collision, comparable to an atomic bomb landing straight on top of me. When I was young I was happy; when I was a teen I was happy. What was I happy for? My grades, honors classes, being rewarded for getting a’s, feeling like I was exceptional because I was good at something, and my friends. I was a blooming social butterfly, everyone knew my name,…

Dialogue: I casually asked my sister,“So.. whats up with you, I haven’t really had much time to talk to you this weekend.” Sister responded nonchalantly,“ Nothing really, been busy with track and school work.” I said,“ How is track? Do you like it?” She responded, “ It’s okay I guess, it takes a lot of time out of my hands, but I really enjoy the people there. I made really good friends.” I said, “That’s great, I think track is going to help you manage your time more.” She said, “ Yeah, I guess…

Tim O’Brien’s novel The Things They Carried is a story with seemingly no plot, however, upon closer look you will realize that this novel is filled with many reoccurring themes and patterns that give the novel a much deeper meaning. The last 3 chapters have a way of tying the book together with the beginning and give meaning to the questions he poses about what a true war story is. The three main patterns present throughout this novel are the concepts of war and life as a soldier being…

Technology as we know it today is taking over our daily lives in every aspect. Most of us can’t go a day without using some form of technology to help get us through our daily routines. We’ve become accustom to having it around us and so used to having it by our sides to aid us with even the simplest of daily tasks. I personally could see myself getting through a days worth of work without technology, but it would just make my day that much longer and that much more inconvenient. If you look…

Staggering bravery I can definitely say that my high school years were some of the best years. It carries heavy concentrations of memories and experiences, for me; the perfect blend of laughs, cries and frustration. Every day was never the same. In fact, some came with right-up-front and random situations. For instance, there was a time where I stumbled upon a class room filled with unexplainable panic. I was going to high school in Belize City during the time. I had left my classroom right…

You were born into the most privileged of lives. A daughter of two wealthy Purebloods. You were their first child and, unless a boy came along, you would be their heir. It was your duty to be everything they needed from their child, to bring honor to your family name and to be the perfect Pureblood girl. That meant that you did as you were told without question, you never so much as looked at someone who was not Pure and you most certainly never let the outside world see a single flaw. At home…
