The Giving Tree “Once there was a tree and she loved a little boy” (Silverstein, 1964, p. 1-3). This is the first- line of the very controversial children’s book, The Giving Tree. This story starts with a young boy and a full grown tree. The tree loved the boy and gave everything she had for the boy until all she had left was a stump and the boy was an old man.

One of the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life was giving birth to my only child, Sophia Bianca. This process started nine months before she was even born. During that nine-month period, I have to carry her and make sure she is safe and well-taken cared of. I gave up one of my pleasure, drinking coffee, to make sure she grows healthy and strong. I made sure I eat vegetables and fruits and get regular exercise as well. And then, I have to deal with these occasional bouts of dizziness and…

Not giving up on a goal is hard when everything is going wrong. It is like playing the same song over and over again. It is more tiring to do the same things and not change. For me, I am not giving up on my goals, I do not want to be a coward or dumb. I want to improve not to be lazy. I have to really achieve my goal, so I won’t be a loser. My goals have to be improved more for me to grow as a person in my love life, my education, and my work life. My first change is my love life…

Many people have different views of the experience of birthing a child. From my point of view giving birth to a child can be the most beautiful experience to a person, but it is also a painful experience. I believe so because it was the worst few hours of my life. On a Sunday morning, my stomach was hurting just a little, so as I was getting dress to go to church and I came to the realization that I had lost my mucus plug. I panicked. In my mind all I could think of was that I’m really about…

The value that is most important to me is service. I strongly believe that giving back to your community is essential. Not only is it essential for you as a person but it will also inspire other people to do service just like you. Most of the time service goes unnoticed, but that is okay because not everything you do will be out for everyone to know. However, you know that you helped your community and that you participated in the process of making it a bit more beautiful. Eventually you will be…

Giving birth to a child is a great accomplishment and milestone. However, after the baby is born, parents adjust their lives to meet the needs of their child. In order to adjust effectively within the postpartum period, I would join a group that consists of both new and experienced mothers, were we can share stories, discuss setbacks and achievemnets, along with share some of our goals and what we want for the future. Joining groups are a way to grow, learn, and interact with other people in…

When Demonstrating Selfless Giving Makes a Difference Who orders pizza at church? Apparently more people than you might think, since the Domino's driver did not seem very surprised that she was showing up to the Sycamore Creek Church in Pickerington, Ohio, with a hot pie. She also did not seem at all surprised that the pizza was not for a Friday night youth group or Saturday woman's retreat. This hot delivery was scheduled during Holy Spirit prime time, right in the middle of Sunday worship.…

Lost in my Memories The memories instantly rush back to my mind when I begin to read the book my mom used to read to me. The stories we shared will never leave my memory. I am packing up to head to the cemetery to visit my mom, on my list of things to bring with me is a pillow, a sleeping bag and blanket, so I can take a nap if needed, and last but definitely not least, Herald and the Purple Crayon, which always stays next to my bed. As I hop in the car the only thing that I double check that I…
