but scared because I had never had a baby before. I was excited because deep down I knew, this was the best thing that would ever have happen to me. I was nervous because I didn’t think I was ready to me become a mother. I had always been a good baby setter, but that is way different than having one of my own. As I drove down the long, curvy lake road, in the middle of April, with tears in my eyes and lumps in my throat, I had one question running through…
students, a family get-together, or co-workers at a new job, can cause my anxiety to strike. I actually get physical symptoms of anxiety. For example, I get nauseous, shaky, my whole face turns red, and my muscle tense up. My heart races and then my throat feels like there’s a lump in it. I have the hardest time getting my words out. It’s like I can’t even speak because I’m too worried about what will come out, what If it’s stupid? I don’t even engage in social media much due to being worried…
“There’s nothing that makes you more insane than family. Or more happy. Or more exasperated. Or more… secure.” (Jim Butcher). Family is the essence of life. You are born into a family and you will die with one that you have created. Family is the main life support that gives you the drive to succeed, but most importantly the joy to see tomorrow. I did not always have this outlook on life. The idea of family was something I craved. It was a crisp, sunny day in April. The birds sang and the…
it was stated, “Napoleon let out deep, menacing growls, and the pigs fell silent…(54).” This quote shows that Napoleon doesn’t flinch about scaring his own comrades into being mute. The power already is his main focusing, he doesn’t even care about the actions he takes as long as he is in control. Napoleon enlists fear and intimidation in the animals by threatening them with physical force. Napoleon ordered this to happen, “...the dogs promptly tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice…

shadows, they were human. As I walked in I saw someone run at me and I instantly took out my knife and stabbed him in the stomach. Just as I did that I ducked and I heard a gunshot. I ran to the noise and once I got a clear view of the man I slit his throat.…
would be isolated until the end of time That we'd never meet somebody who'd make us feel like the sun was their gift to us: something they created from their bare hands using nothing but their toolbox. Bent, broken heart strings irritated us from deep within our hearts Don’t tell me that hurts less than a broken bone That an ingrown life is something surgeons can just pluck out that…
Being raised on a farm in such a rural area such as Monroe County, West Virginia meant learning how to use a firearm was almost more of a necessity than a passion. However, for myself it happened to be both. I love to hunt all sorts of game such as: deer, squirrel, turkey, and dove to name a few. Hunting all these animals obviously requires the use of several different types and calibers of guns. My dad, a gun enthusiast as well, taught me from a very young age the dangers of a firearm as…
Kino changes about what is important about life as he copes by resolving his internal conflicts. In the beginning of the book, the things that are important to Kino are: his family and his boat. “Sometimes it rose to an aching chord that caught the throat, saying this is safety, this is warmth this is the Whole”(Steinbeck , 3). Kino’s importance was his family. He felt happy and safe with his family which was Juana and Coyotito. Kino always heard the family song which Juana sang softly (an…
Although people may think this is painful to write about, I have taken the pain and embraced it. I’m bold, independent, and a leader. This defining moment has humbled my life and my views on everyone. We don’t really know who we are until we dig deep down, and find out who or what shaped us. I hope everyone learns what makes them unique through memories. Without my family and peers, I would have never pushed to make something of myself. We have to take a step back and appreciate the little…
