Okay, so you want to be a writer? One thing you have to decide is if you ever want to be rich, because if you do, stop reading right now. Money will be in limited supply, roughly enough to keep you writing and alive. Procrastination is bound to strike you, the novel will sound so great in your head that your fingers and limitations won’t want to spoil the bountiful extravagance of your ideas. Soak up every little thing that you see or hear, wring out your sponge brain on the page and craft the…

My Literacy Adventure When I came into this class I had no idea what to expect. Was it going to be an easy class I would not have to worry about? Or would it test my writing abilities to a whole other level? I soon found out that I not prepared for what was to come. For the first time I felt as though I was on my own when it came to writing. In high school I did not take any advanced English or writing classes and I had the same English teacher for three years. My teacher was very straight…

Rows of Nan’s dresses now crush against each other in my closet, the same dresses that I had grown up admiring. My grandmother is and was my best friend, I grew up listening to her singing while she made breakfast for me on the weekends. I watched her sew and I fell in love with the things that she was able to create. She’s let me try on her dresses when I was younger, I would always tell her that one day I would create such masterpieces. She always told me that she had no doubt that I would…

Duquesne was actually the last place I ever thought I would end up for college. I never wanted to stay close to home and the city did not seem like the right fit for me. However, once I discovered all the opportunities it had to offer I realized it did not matter that the city location wasn’t quite what I wanted and that home was only forty minutes away. It could give me what I really wanted and enjoyed – a high level, in-depth education. The importance of studying and education was greatly…

I’ve always been the super shy girl; I was the one that was so scared of what people thought about her to the point where she’d hold back her dreams because she was too afraid. Freshman year changed the rest of my life for me. It wasn’t only the eye-opening year where I realized I’m more than my awkwardness; it was the year I did something about it. It was the year that I took the initiative to come crawling out from this outer shell that protected me from the harsh words that this earth has to…

My Experience: A Mid(Winter) Night’s Dream On November 16, 2016 at 8pm, I attended a play entitled A Mid(Winter) Night’s Dream. Since I myself know very little about shakespearean plays, I walked in expecting a dramatic, serious play, but was shook to realize that it was actually a hilarious comedy. I brought a friend to watch the play with me, and even she was saying how much she loved it while walking out of the theatre. Not only was the play overall remarkable, but it also showed many lessons…

I studied the girl sitting in the grass next to me. Her fingers brushed lightly over the dewy grass; the movement was so gentle that I almost attributed it to the light breeze blowing through the trees far above. The fluttering of the leaves caused the shadows on the forest floor, spawned by the faint sunlight of the approaching dawn, to dance serenely. The sky was dotted with streaks of pink and purple as the sun began to rise above the horizon. I watched the girl, whose name I had only…

During reading, I elaborate on the key factors of sustaining a promise with significant through a wishful dream of becoming someone in life. At sixteen, my first boyfriend was twenty three and a dealer. Mutually knowing my education has to be important and a priority. Dwayne made sure I went to school every day regardless how long I stayed up. Every day on time for school. I wasn’t about to disappoint my parent, nor break my promise to God. You know in the early on life was a fairy tale. I…

I’ve never felt so accomplished in my life before, I have been waiting since every young for this day to come. I always hated school because of its long hours behind a desk listening to a teacher lecture about a subject. It was the same routine for thirteen years, starting with kindergarten had to wake up early to get to school, after school then go home to do homework, and sleep. With being so eager to graduate, I never took a second to pause and just take it in to appreciate my life.…

Reading Response As I continue reading the novel “The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible” written by Charles Eisenstein, I begin to obtain the ability to break down the meaning behind each chapter that is written. The book itself is difficult to process, but after continuously looking into the book again, I begin to develop an idea of what each chapter holds for us. The beginning chapter, “Separation” went into detail discussing how the world itself was far from normal. I believe…
