songs. The world makes them a big deal because they come on televisions, radios, and magazines so they must be idolize. Just because they have talent does not mean everyone should give them attention and care about them. Celebrities are not god figures, they are not as important as middle and lower class, and people should not follow into their footsteps. Celebrities should not be treated like gods and goddesses. When celebrities are treated that way, they think they own the world and the…

desks, gasoline, and shelters. However, these raw materials are limited, they do not and cannot be replenish, yet our human are extremely dependent on them.

This guy, my uncle on the other end of the phone, with his baritone voice, aggressively said, "Welcome to the World baby girl... 'Ain 't it Shit. '" I never saw the world of education the same any more after that day. I realized my best for high school was merely a filthy rag for college level work. This drove me as a student to do better than my expectations, to strive for something…

As my Mathematics professor always says, “Helping one person might not change the whole world, but it could change the world for one person.” For some people who live in the third world countries such as Ethiopia and Sudan, even a few dollars or a cup of water is a great help. However, in today’s society, most people only care about themselves and forget to think of others in need. Less and less people are willing to help others. Moreover, some people once accepted help, but they forget that…

going to change the world.” I remember writing this letter, only days after getting the news of my parent’s divorce. It held plans to myself of becoming a successful career woman and mother. Even at nine years old, I knew I wanted to change the world. Now, as an 18 year old headed to college, although my career plans may be different, I still aspire to change the world. And if what I do only affects one person, that is okay, because I have made a difference. Changing the world should not have…

anyone! There are tones of girls who were all over you. Most of them are way prettier then me, more interesting; just more everything. Probably less crazy, less sad, less miserable then me by a million times. I'm just an average person in an average world. You, you are a planet in an amazing Galaxy. I don't understand how a person like you could love someone like me. I don't understand why you choose me.. I guess you see something in me that I don't. But I'm happy for that! I'm just so scared of…

William is rude to…
