wasn’t. I took it as a literal term, to be grateful. Whenever someone told me that, all I could see was my body thinned and toned, my face pure and markless, my smile glorious and grand, my life happy and fulfilling. I knew they meant I should be thankful for my life, but I wasn’t. For a very long time, depression ate me alive. And I loved it, because I thought that was the only thing that desired me, craved me, wanted me. My freshmen year of high school was a blur because I…

Opinion Paper 2: Memory P.F Skinner was influential in many areas of psychology but some of his most interesting work came from his study on memory and memory loss in adults and children.

Here I had to write sentences about things and had to do it fast (well faster than what seemed like a reasonable amount of time for me). Stations was the worst, we went around the room in groups to different stations some of them were ok, but there was always at least one station that needed me to write.
