Figure It Out

the kitchen and three other figures who are situated in a room in the background. Compared to the other figures, the server is secluded and, more importantly, distant from the figure who has a faint halo above his head—the Jesus figure—and therefore seems to be the lesser in the spiritual sense. However, despite his or her seclusion and distance, Velázquez places the server figure in the center of the painting. The unusual emphasis given to the server over the Jesus figure and his companions…

It wasn’t until later that I started to see that this is how they are trying to figure out who they are in this society. We are hardwired at this age to test the limits. As I was researching how the teenage brain works, I was overwhelmed with everything it does do. Over the years, I have discovered that we teenagers are resilient,…

It's like his parents wanted him to get picked on. He got them to call him Pas instead. "I saw you on your way back from Mrs. Patterson's house, did Pete get out again?" she asked.

is out in the cold, with rain pouring down, in order to bring back food, and for this I feel grateful. Better to be sick now than later, I conclude, aware of the fact that had I been sick at a different time, there would be no greater inconvenience. For now, I have no responsibilities, but four days from now I will be competing in figure skating on behalf of the U.S., and hopefully by then my weakened state will pass. I know I should practice, but currently I can barely move, let alone figure…

I come from a figure skating background. From a very young age, most of my time was spent at the rink. Growing up, I undoubtedly spent more waking hours with my skating coach than with my own mother. This cold damp place was home. It is where I trained, ate, did school, socialized, laughed, cried, and even took the odd nap. It was as familiar as my favourite pair of lucky socks (yes, us figure skaters are very superstitious). I knew the best hiding spots, for when I needed time alone or…
