into you there’s no escaping. This powerful emotion ruined my relationship between my boyfriend and I because it caused cheating, accusations to be made, fights between us, and finally our breakup. Michael was my boyfriend’s name. We were exactly alike, as if we were one person. Our movements and thoughts were synchronized. People always mistakes us as siblings because our behaviors were so similar. I seriously that of Michael as my soul mate, he was heaven sent, designed epically for me by…

College athletes are considered by many other students to be very fortunate. With college tuition increasing year after year students are finding themselves strapped with an overwhelming amount of loan debt. Student athletes who receive the benefit of having their tuition covered by the university are considered, by some, to be employees. It’s important to identify what an actual employee is and what that employee does. An employee works for an employer based on an initial contract where the…

For as long as I can remember, there is a specific question that I have asked myself: Why am I here and where am I headed? The fact that I am unable to answer this question completely drains my energies. While I am sure that a number of individuals struggle with this question, I have found that I do not even understand the question itself, much less its answer. For the longest time, I remember being so lost that I no longer recognized the person in the mirror. Looking back on my high school days…

Truthfully, I never had much interest and had no plans on going to prom mostly due to the fact that I was really bashful and unconfident. Even still, my friends would constantly ask whether or not I was going to attend prom. I would tell them “I don’t know” every time, but since it was finally my senior year, my friends filled me with guilt, saying that I would regret not going to our final high school dance. After constantly thinking and being jealous of all the prom proposals that were…

Last two weeks ago, I remembered I was about to have a nice and plentiful dinner outside with my parents. Unfortunately, things didn’t go that smooth as I was expected before. “Pauline, grade 12 is an important year to you, have you decided to go to what kind of stream after graduated from high school?” “My Queen (my mother), as day went by day, I decided to go with Bio-chemistry engineer. And I would like to go to McMaster University as they offer co-op program in which I could gain more…

Pacific Islanders throughout history, as a whole, have gone through so much change that making comparisons to others are almost unattainable. There are a plethora of changes that range from far and wide; language, environmental, mental, and physical. A major change was literature in itself. Prior to western influence, literature was never around for most of the stories and song were done orally. For most people change in the end may be beneficial, but often times bring conflict and hardships,…

Faith in Action Paper I spent my 15 faith service hours volunteering for Feed My Starving Children and I helped the maintenance crew around the school. While I did this I made new friends and grew as a person as well as in my faith. I probably spent about 8 or more of my service hours volunteering for Feed My Starving Children. Before when I was younger, I would go in because my older sister needed service hours and scoop some veggies and powder into a funnel for an hour and a half. Then…

The heated debate of paying college athletes and the status of student-athletes as amateurs has been argued often and thoroughly in recent times. With testimonies coming from current and former NCAA Division I athletes about inability to afford basic living amenities such as being able to afford dinner, being able to see a movie with friends, or find time to balance athletics with academics and a social life, media and critics have been arguing whether or not it is time to start paying college…

Creating art is, as some say, the indication of mystery in excellence or God; it is a diversion in which man lets off an overabundance of steam [stored energy]; otherwise it is the outflow of feelings by man’s psyche, and most of all; it is pleasure; however, considering everything, it is a method of social unity amongst mankind; consoling them in similar feelings and forever extending the shared common visual language of the world. Through new visual ideas introduced by artists, categories of…
