Asleep in the Bread Aisle

Self-Reflection In the middle of 8th-grade year, my Uncle Michael had a seizure and was put on life support. Even though the whole family knew that he had Kidney Failure and Diabetes, we prayed for a miracle. The whole experience happened rather quickly. In my family, it is our belief that if it is God’s plan let it be, so if it was His plan for my uncle to still be here, he would be. All of this happened a week before Thanksgiving, the time of the year when I should be thankful for what I have, something important to me is taken away. With this in mind, I fell apart on the inside. But on the outside I was still happy and cheerful Maia. I couldn’t fall apart on the outside because I had taken it upon myself to become the “rock” that my family needed. I hid the fact that I was hurting just as much as everyone else (maybe even more than the others) and it affected me greatly, even if it took almost three years to show. After my Uncle Mike’s funeral, a lot of family skeletons came out of the closet. These skeletons allowed my family to become divided, no one could talk to each other without some underlining remark or even have a civilized conversation. This went on for months but eventually things went back to normal, but with that, my depression slowly grew bigger and bigger. Fast forward to January, senior year. During this point, I was completely depressed but I was good at hiding it, an expert at this point. All I wanted to do was sleep and stay in my room, I…

Narrative Children benefit enormously from having loving and involved grandparents. Many youngsters are fortunate to have two sets of supportive grandparents. Unfortunately, I have one set of grandparents who don’t love me. I was in my uncle’s wedding this September and had to wear a dress and had makeup on. When I saw my grandma Offerman, She went up to me and said “doesn’t Addie look so gorgeous and you should be more like your cousin.” My cousin Addie is in kindergarten, and she is five…

move but his feet and hands were tied together. Tears were running down his rosy cheeks. He cried incessantly. Soon he heard weird breathing noises coming from somewhere. He looked around. It was still dark. The noises came closer and closer. They came so close that the boy could feel the breath on his face as the creature was smelling it. He was scared. Suddenly, the lights went on. They were dazzling as the sun and the boy couldn’t see but a dark shadow in front of him. At the first sight, it…

bang the door in anger. I shut myself in, glad the roach tribe lives outside my apartment. But the nasty creatures can penetrate walls. The moment the lights go off, they are inside, all over the place, crawling over my face. I jump out of my bed and switch the table lamp on, only to be surprised by the same formation I saw at the porch, the same terrorizing advance of the mama and papa roaches. Instantly they disappear in cracks I didn’t realize existed in my apartment. I have become a roach…

have been more excited to finally teach my daughter how to fish. It was an early Sunday morning , and I could remember the day like it was yesterday. The sun had just begun to rise, my daughter was still asleep, as I packed an ice chest full of snacks and water bottles, our chairs, and sweaters just in case it gets a bit chilly. Once everything was packed and ready to go, my daughter woke up full of joy and excitement, ready to learn how to catch “fishies”. I lathered her in sun block until…

a dollar a slice” these lyrics I felt like the most rymethic part of the song everything else was just about college nightlife and frat life.In the all and all I really enjoy the song, It’s my go song at any party event and It gets the crowd jumpy. word - music relationship Asher Roth really put his college lifestyle into this song, he just put everything that he did in college and loved doing and made it into a song. The was the beat hit every note throughout the song is…

avowedly anti-union. Mackey calls himself pro-customer but acknowledges that he runs a store with higher profit margins (and prices, often) than almost any other grocer. He is avowedly pro-capitalism but also pro-love. Asked once to list the principles he lives by, Mackey commented: “Love is the only reality. Everything else is merely a dream or illusion.” Mackey remarks: “Americans love to shop, right? We love to shop. And Americans love to eat. We’re the fattest nation on earth. But,…
