Over the past year, I have had a battle for independence within myself and with my father. I have gone to church almost every Sunday ever since I was born. I remember it being my parents’ choice when I was younger forcing me to go, and I remember it be my choice about a few years ago when I had friends there and I would have fun. I never did go out of fear of God or the Devil, it was always a social experience. Since most of my friends were older, they all started to go off to college and I…

I always wanted to go to college and get a good degree. My hardest struggle was what I want to do after high school. What do I want to do for the rest of my life? If I start saving up money now I will be able to go to college. College takes time and dedication if you don’t have that then you are wasting your money. I been going back and forth to a couple of colleges that I would like to go to. To begin, my plans after high school that I’m going to stick with so far is to work for a year then…

I have lived my life with a drug abusing aunt that hasn 't had a job since I can remember. That always had me wondering how could she survive without a job. Now that I 've gotten older and had more understanding on the situation I can say my aunt abuses Welfare. Now knowing that it kind of bugs me that people out there can get away with using public assistance to live off and never lift a finger when the normal person wakes up every morning to earn their money. After some research and…

In the two articles “Do professional athletes get paid too much” and “Pro athletes salaries are not overly exorbitant”. They talk about the salaries of pro athletes. In the first article “Do professional athletes get paid too much.” They talk about how the salaries of pro athletes are to much. The article talks about how sports are for entertainment and Pro Athletes don’t deserve the millions of money they get by playing a sport. While in the second article “Pro athletes salaries are not overly…

The first scale I chose was the self-esteem scale. After filling out this scale I believe that I was high on that particular trait. But, I feel like the scale did a reasonably good job in assessing the trait of self-esteem. The only reason why I personally believe that the scale did not do a great job in assessing the trait is because of a couple of the questions. For example, the fourth question asks “I seldom feel blue”. This question to me, does not relate to self-esteem. Seeing that everyone…

“HUMMM,” I could hear the sound of the bus as it tore down the road.I sat on the bus cramped in-between my friend, Christian, and one of his friend’s, Ayan. They were talking about something, but I was too nervous to talk (or pay attention at all for that matter). We were on our way to our third cross country meet of the season. The reason I was so nervous was because last meet I had finished 18th overall, or second place sixth grader, and now I felt an overwhelming needed to finish at least…

Have you ever felt so alone that you drive yourself to commit crimes just so you can have someone interested in you? That’s how Roger felt in the story Thank You, Ma’am by Langston Hughes. In the story skinny Roger runs up behind big Ms. Luella Bates Washington Jones and tries to steal her purse. Fortunately for Ms. Jones, Roger falls back and she can regain possession of her bag. One would expect Ms. Jones’ next step to be calling the police, but she does quite the opposite. Throughout the rest…

I am privileged in the sense that I live in the United States of America in a single-family house share among my dad, my mom, and myself. However, I did not always have the idea that I was privileged though. Growing up I went to India plenty of time but I did not make much of it. My parents would donate food and clothes to the poor in India, but as an infant I obviously has no understanding of what was going on. This all changed. One day when I was about eight years old and traveled to India a…

An unexpected knock comes from the door and I almost don’t answer. I don’t want to answer it. I’m back in the room, I woke up for the first time as a demon in this stupid rebel base. There are two guards constantly posted at my door, and it’s been nearly five days since we arrived. We was easy to escape the lab once in the carrier and within an hour, we picked up Walker and Skye. Flying was partly terrifying since mine and Flich’s flying skills are horrible. Even when Jensen woke up, he was…

Kids these days love to get what they want. Most of them are shown that they need to earn it, or either wait for it. This causes children to flare and want to get a job, to earn the things they want sooner. Student’s should not be allowed to get afterschool jobs because it interferes with school, students are risking their grades to earn minimum wage. A job creates a less personal life for a student that it does not allow them to have leisure time or even a social life. Those who get a job at a…
