Hard Times

your balance, you must keep moving”. My junior year at Godinez confronted me with many obstacles that tested how responsible, creative, and dedicated I was. As a student, I did not know what I was capable of until this year. I did not comprehend that hard work is needed to succeed. I did not understand that the only obstacle that is preventing me from succeeding is the fear of failing.

back to Philadelphia and get her husband back so now my young brother and I have to be relocated to another home. I was broken at this point and now walls are begin put up with no trust or people at this point in my life only 12yrs of age. This is the time I would really start to be super mad with life and people I wanted to end my life. My brother Champ who had been with me all my life now deceived me and left me behind because he wanted to stay with his best friend. I was so…

Shannon Wallace 11/12/14 Ms. Koop. OO Down the rabbit hole “ I’m late. I’m late for a very important date. No time to say ‘hello goodbye’ I’m late. I’m Late. I’m late.” In Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, this is the chant the little white rabbit sang. As the rabbit runs by, Alice’s curiosity bests her. She tumbles down the rabbit hole after him and finds herself scared, alone, and frustrated. Though the story was light hearted, a much more serious matter loomed under the surface. Alice had…

Life is hard for everyone. For people in third world countries and in the slums of first world countries, the reasons for their lives seeming hard are more obvious. But for more privileged groups, it 's harder to understand why they are suffering. Cherry Valance, from S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders, says, “Things are rough all over,” (122). That is a simple enough quote, but it has a deeper meaning. No matter who you are, you understand suffering and pain. There are groups of people who…

While I’m at home not working on a career at the moment, I’m working towards a degree while I have time before my baby boy comes into this world. I would definitely have a greater financial stability that what’s I’m working with right now because I don’t have a job at this certain time in my life. I would like for my next job to have amazing benefits that will not only help me but help my children in their future. This will have a massive affect…

hours. We all have the same amount of time each and every single day. What we choose to do with that time is entirely up to us. My late father, Sam, who never promoted past grade school, managed to help his parents raise their family in the Philippines when he was a child, married and worked to get all of my half siblings to America “in search of the American Dream”, and along with his second wife, my mother, raised both my only full brother and I, to be hard-working, respectable adults. Until…

decreases burnout in teachers. However, even with these known benefits, students still do not have a time in the day to practice mindfulness. All you need is ten to twenty minutes a day to reconnect back to yourself to receive all the benefits.

Hawking states that this could in fact mean thee was a period of time where the universe was closer together, thus starting our universe. If there is a beginning to a single universe, there could inevitably mean a start to other…
