“I know that he is a powerful necromancer and has practiced the black arts for over 800 years. No one is certain that Balthazar is even his real name and rumors abound that he is the Black Visage, the most powerful necromancer of all time and to be the same Black Visage believed slain by Kaylunse, the golden knight, thousands of years ago. The Black Visage, known to be over 2000 years old, and no longer mortal after performing mutilations and experiments on his own body, making himself a…

In this essay I will be explaining why I believe in the afterlife and what makes me such a strong believer of things we can’t always see. I strongly believe in the afterlife for multiple reasons. The best place to start would have to be back in 2005 when I was 7 and I lived back on Hidden Lakes located in front of Ingles near Baton Elementary School. Everything started at that place. During the time that we was living there we had many strange occurrences and I know that sounds cliche but this…

As said by Bertrand Russell, “War does not determine who is right - only who is left.” It took me by surprise when I was walking by a store there happened to be a young man in a ragged united states military uniform sitting on the ground with a coffee can in between his boots. “Spare change for a soldier?”, Asked the young man. He looked up and asked a woman walking by. “Oh, you poor dear, All I have is 5 dollars on me”, said the woman with a doleful look on her face. I happened to be…

How Nick Vujici is an example of a creator is that when people drag him down due to being born with no arms nor legs, he still got right back up and fought twice as hard right back. How instead of walking away from his problems he approach them and overcome it. At one point he did play the role of a Victim and just wanted to the easy way out from his misery. But every time he attempted to commit suicide it’s like God saved him. From the youtube video, he said “... I am here for a reason, sure…

There are many people who are scared to stand up for someone else because they fear of getting in trouble. In my opinion I think that people should just go ahead and defend what they believe in. If someone sees someone else dead in the middle of the road and they might want to help them. But they would be afraid to get in trouble, because if someone else comes they might think that, that person did it. If this would’ve happened to me then the thing that I would do is call the police. I’ll…

At the beginning of the semester I was pessimistic about this class. I did not know what to expect and I let all feministic stereotypes take control over what the course was going to be like. I humbly say that I was wrong. This course has forever changed my view not only about myself, but on my outlook on life. Intersectionality has been at the forefront on what I have learned in this class. Intersectionality according to Google is the “interconnected nature of social categorizations such…

What if I told you, you had the opportunity to go back in time? You could return two, three, five years, maybe even a week back. During this time you acquire the chance to change that one mistake, or the deep regret you felt when you believed to have ultimately made the worst decision of your life. Think about that moment and question what made this moment such a difficult time in your life. It may have been due to heartbreak, failure, fear, defeat, or maybe even a physical or emotional pain.…

Throughout the Old Testament, some of the most memorable stories are about the deity using nature to punish humans. Perhaps the most well known story of the deity using nature as a punishment is the Genesis account of the flood and Noah’s ark. Turning water into blood, the infestation of lice, swarms of insects, and hail are a few of several nature plagues found in Exodus. One of the first instances in the Hebrew Bible describing the deity as using nature to punish humans is found in Genesis…

It feels like I’ve been in this institution for five years now, it really has, even though it was really a couple months. The place is filled with phony’s and I wanted to get the hell out of this goddam place. Anyway, I was reading this book old D.B. gave me when he visited me last Saturday. It was pretty good. It was called I, Robot by Isaac Asimov. I would tell you what’s it about but I didn’t feel like it. I didn’t feel like anything in here. They had a lot of people in here trying to help…
