Child time-out

“Why did my mom and dad give me up for adoption?” Her foster mom said “because they thought , they couldn’t handle having a child.” She lives in a urban city in a foster home. She is 18 years old, she has long black hair, she is 5 feet tall, and she would do anything for chocolate . One day Brandie said “ OH MY GOSH! Why do I smell chocolate?’’ She said. “ I LOVE CHOCOLATE, I LOVE IT , I LOVE IT!” Chocolate drives her crazy, so she started following the scent. The smell of chocolate brought her…

As a child, everything in the world seems so clearly black and white. It seems like everyone just naturally gets older, goes to college because they have to, and work wherever they and up. Then I myself got older and started to question: But why do I need to go to college? What’s so great about it? It got worse when I went along and realized that I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, had no idea what I even wanted to go to college for. This then resulted in years of me being anxious,…

Elizabeth Sinclair was born to money, but money never owned her in the way it did her parents. Meredith, her mother, had old family money, dating back to the days of plantations and a time where horses weren’t an obsolete form of transportation. On the other hand, Edward was a self-made man. His family, like many other families in Maine, was a quiet, middle class family, with just enough money to put him through college. Of course, for a man like Edward, that was as much as he needed to get a…

John and his wife rent a colonial mansion out in the country side miles ways from the town. This mansion gives the appearance of a haunted house since it is isolated and is an older style home. John and his wife will face many issues while staying in the mansion such as, dealing with depression, seeing things, and being obsessed with the room. John’s wife is currently trying to recuperate and is forbidden to lift a finger, or even to take care of a child since she is recovering from some sort of…

on the trees. The bees were still picking the pollen dust on the field, where next to the brush laid a body. The body belonged to a boy with broad but childlike body. His face was peaceful and hopeful, and one might even think that this angel-like child just fell asleep on the field, if only his face wasn’t covered with dark maroon liquid… blood. That evening was calm and quiet, yet not for George. His face was hard and his eyes were blank. No one knew his torment, his distress. His soul was…

Your Honor, I am writing this letter in regards to boyfriend, David Matraj, for his trial/sentencing date set to April 10th, 2017. The reason why I am writing to you is to express my concerns regarding the events that took place that evening and the reasons why I feel that David does not pose a threat to myself or to my daughter, Autumn. I have been dating David for almost two years (June 20th), and just like any normal couple we have experienced a few bumps in the road. I am stubborn about…

gentle and impressionable song of a mockingbird, children are often blind to the true ignorance and hatred in the world around them due to their joyful demeanor and naivety. Yet this innocence dies as does the song of a mockingbird, and a once genial child begins to see the true nature of the interactions happening around them. During the three years which the book To Kill A Mockingbird details, the book’s main character, Scout Finch, battles a constant internal conflict caused by a loss of…

like discrimination, being looked down at, seen as worthless, or looked at as either teen moms or gangsters by society. All these barriers that Latinos have to deal with prevents them from coming out as an LGBTQ+ member because Latinos fear that they wont be accepted by their family due to culture. Coming out of the closet and being latino is really crucial because Latinos are not always accepted within their cultural grounds. Latino family 's tend to feel strongly about tradition, culture and…

used in your daily life? I have experienced another Microaggression recently which happened this Semester which involved a friend of mine making a Facebook Status about Coming Out. I saw the post on Facebook and wrote a comment expressing that I was happy for them and that I support them. Hours had passed and then I found out the status was a joke written by friend number two on friend number one’s account. Friend one also commented something along the lines of that he hoped he didn’t offend…

really close guy friends who are gay. In this paper I am going to talk about the history of the gay rights movement, personal coming out stories from friends and the bullying associated with it, and finally my opinion on the mater. On June 28, 1969 in the hours prior to dawn a riot broke out after police were called to Greenwich NY. Police we’re called because in this time period it wasn’t acceptable to be openly gay. On the first night the police won the battle. The following night more people…
