The person who has had the most impact on my life is not only my softball coach, but also someone who has made me push myself to my limits. Christi Weiser has had a huge impact on the type of person I have become. I have played…

A Stranger as a Sibling There I was, sitting in my father’s red truck. I was in Mexico for that summer, it was June. My father, who was sitting in the driver’s seat with his brown plaid shirt, was taking me to visit my sister. Trees flew by in the corner of my eyes, sometimes followed by the occasional cow or horse, as we drove off.

Picking up my life and moving to Wisconsin wasn’t the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. Over the past fourteen weeks, I have had the joy of meeting phenomenal groups of new people within my job, my GA position, classes, and volunteering. Although I have had a great time getting to know others, I have felt a little inauthentic. Like most people, when I meet new people, I try really hard to make a good first impression. I have remained acting like my scatter-brained, self-conscious, excited…

For example, we had to imagine that were were writing a literature review for our department’s undergraduate research journal. The primary readership would be fellow undergraduates in my…

“His tempo is off,” Sara mutters quietly to herself. It is minutes away until Sara herself will be in the same position as the boy with the off tempo. Sara is worried. She is afraid that with all her nerves of performing in front of the massive crowd, her shakes and trembles will hinder her performance, or even worse, destroy her performance. “I will be alright,” Sara says softly, “I am simply here once more to share the world my music.” Sara pauses for a moment. “My emotions.” As Sara looks…

It was almost lucky, in this sense, that he always wanted to bring a smile to his mother’s face to let her know how much he loved her. Williams was raised mostly by his maid who had quite the sense of humour, teaching him all of the jokes that got him started. Even if it…
