Freedom, and rights for that matter, is a giant teeter-totter. You never have quite the right balance to keep it even and up in the air without your feet touching the ground. I think that I’ve had times where I’ve had my rights infringed on,that my rights and my freedom had brought up debate, but I think at some point we all do. I guess a time where I saw that freedom is more defined by the person is when I chose not to stand for the pledge of allegiance last year. It was a personal choice,…

During the first few weeks of class I was unsure of what to do for my behavior change, there are so many things in my life that I could do without and that would help me live a happier healthier life such as eating fast food, drinking soda, Facebook and social media usage, as well as the habit of judgment. At first I thought the easiest thing that I could change would be to stop eating fast food. While fast food is a horrible habit that I have enquired due to my busy schedule, after the first…

The piercing fear in her eyes struck me hard. She was in a complete and utter state of panic, trembling uncontrollably and gasping for air. A tear fell softly from her eye and onto her hand which was throbbing and purple from the tight grip on her wheelchair. I knew I had an obligation to help her as a volunteer in the nursing home, but I wasn’t sure how I could connect to her or understand the cause of her distress -- she didn’t speak any English. Almost instinctively, I grabbed Bergita's…

The Challenge of Dealing With My Mother 's Behavior Since I was a child, I have received considerable affection from my parents. I am not an ungrateful daughter, but actually it makes me feel nervous. Sometimes, it was embarrassing me because my mother, Izabel, did not know the correct time to treat me like her baby, and I dislike when she talks about our intimacy out loud, talking with a different tone of voice, and with a peculiar semblance of proud mother in her face. Another thing that…

My Android Friend Elizabeth One day Emily and I was sitting on the baseball field at school during our break in between classes, talking to each other about how we feel about our friendship and what could do to make it better. We decided that we needed a third friend because we could never find anything to talk about anymore because we felt like we talked about everything we possibly could and that we knew everything about each other, so we started think about potential friends we wouldn’t mind…

The life of a military significant other is one ever so admired. Many people think this is absolutely something that they’d love, to be in a relationship with a soldier; others, wouldn’t ever dream of it. Though, many look upon it as such a romantic life style. Well, news flash, it’s a royal pain in the ass. You can go days, weeks, sometimes even months without having the chance to speak to one another. So many that are in this lifestyle, though they may hate it, they love it. They all know that…

The “Turn Up” “Where have you been??” My mentor sighed in disappointment on the other line. I had just got my license in June and by July I had saved up enough to buy my first car. It was a great deal (keeping in mind I work at a car dealership). Someone was going to trade it in and I simply bought it for more. By August, I finally managed to do everything I promised I wouldn’t, and in the end I paid the ultimate price. Totaled my car and learned a great lesson. The festivities were starting…

My education has shaped me to be who I am today; I use the power of my knowledge everyday. Like others, I have made many mistakes and have failed on different assignments. Let’s just say, i’ve been there and done that. I look at school and say I hate it, but I can also say I love it at the same time. I hate the work, but I love the relieving outcome. Today, I am glad to be where I am in my educational standpoint and that is all thanks to you. You are a very influential person to me when it…

Hey. Happy birthday! I hope you 've been having a great summer so far and it 'll be even better after your 17th! I kinda miss you and I 'm still hoping to get a text from you someday saying that we can give it another shot or start over but I 'm not expecting it. I really regret what I did. Everyday I regret it. I wish it didn 't happen. Good luck at GHP and with your subject SATs, and I already know you got a 5 on all your AP exams! I have no doubt that you will get a 5 on the national exams. I…

Nobody Believed “You will never do it”, my mom said to me. Everyone has goals in their life. Some people go straight to their goals, and they don’t look at hard times. They don’t give up in any situation. Other people give up when they have hard times. They never get what they want. It is better to be a person that goes straight to their goals. I am that person, I had three goals, lose weight, enter to a university and find work that I will love. Everything began when I was 14…
