I gained new knowledge on how much responsibility you have to take on when you decided to have a baby and how much you have to be invested in your occupation and child. Being a single mother, you would gain more responsibility then if you were married. Also, you would be in control for paying bills, supporting your child, and taking care of him/her. For this project, I decided not to work with a partner and work alone. I…

My arms were killing me. In an effort to distract myself from the pain, I began to mentally go through my favorite scenes from Harry potter, but even the thought of my favorite book couldn’t keep my mind off my discomfort for long.

In addition, In my interpretation of the poem the main focal point revolves around the idea of ageism in which everyone in this…

Roosevelt’s was right when he said, “the only thing to fear, is fear itself”. It all started in 2009, on Christmas Day. There my sister and I were opening our presents. After tearing through all the wrapping paper and thanking family members all that was left was an envelope. My sister and I didn’t think much of this bland,…
