longer fight. However, I was not always like this. The person that is me now is not the same person born on the 28th of May, 2000. That was me fifteen years ago on the day I took my first breath. Nor am I the same person from just a year back. I am Samar. Fifteen years, three months and eleven…

Seventh grade I simultaneously tapped my leg on the floor and my pencil to my desk. I looked around the room and examined all of my classmates. No one seemed as nervous as me. My teacher slid my test towards me and I felt my stomach drop as soon as I read the first couple of questions. I had no idea what any of the information was and I knew there was absolutely no way I was passing the test. What’s ridiculous is that even though I didn’t study, I felt bad for myself. “Are you okay?” my…

English has always been an easy subject for me as I truly enjoy reading and writing, for as long as I remember I have had a natural talent for English. The lowest grade I have ever received in an English class was a B at the very lowest. I believe my talent for reading and writing comes from my mother who has always been an avid reader and even read aloud while she was pregnant because she heard that it was good for me. While growing up, my parents took me to the library weekly to get books for…

Now 25, I had been out of school for seven long years. I had grown tired of going nowhere with my life and hated feeling stagnant. I was so nervous because I had completely forgotten how to be a critical reader, take notes, and write papers. So far, my experience has been great, my mind feels refreshed…

In my life, there have always been people who loved reading or writing, both, or none of the above. When I was little, I was that child who loved to read rapaciously but hated writing. Over the years I began to develop a disliking for school on the basis of teachers’ negative reinforcement. Their ideas and teachings made me question the value of education. Throughout my hardship however, I unearthed my desire to teach and it revived a love for learning and spreading the Gospel. Growing up I had…

My frequent trips to the eerily quiet school library started almost ten years ago, in my first grade class with Mrs. Yenser. Thick paperback novels, controversial science fiction, doomsday utopian societies, sappy romances, and even an educational biography every once in a while were some of my best friends throughout my elementary age. I flew through Tom Sawyer, the Alex Rider series, To Kill a Mockingbird, and several dozen other intriguing reads. Knowing I had become hooked on reading, many…

New Years’ of 2014 It all started on December 31, 2013. I had decided to bring in the year with a few friends, who at the time I thought were my true friends. Just to find out later on that they weren’t. I thought that this was going to be a great way to bring in the New Year; I was wrong. On the night of the 31st I was getting ready for the New Year’s Eve party that we have at my church every year. I’m always a part of the program, so naturally I was practicing. While I was practicing, I…
