mom puts gourds—" "Stop trying to change the subject. You can 't tell me you 're not at least a little curious." "I used to be," I admit. "But nothing 's worked yet." "You never know. I could 've done it this time," he says, stabbing a piece of hot dog with his fork. "Don 't you have to pick up Will?" I ask him, narrowing my eyes. "Shit, you 're right. Are you coming with me or staying here?" he asks, picking up his jacket. "Maybe you should take me home," I say, frowning and looking at…
It was a Beautiful evening in 1995 Sydney, Australia until it all went bad. A sudden crack of thunder raged in the sky and buckets of rain started to pour from the sky. A family in a car, unfortunately, got stuck in that rain on the highway back home. There was a sudden pothole that caused the car to pop up, slip, and roll over on its back while crashing into a wall. There were sirens everywhere while an inferno grew from the car. A firefighter, Jeff Charles, was able to save the girl, Angie,…
The Beginning of a New Me It was the 2nd semester of 11th grade when I realized what kind of an irresponsible immature I was. I was an ungrateful person who didn’t care about no one else but herself. School was not important not at all. I rarely attended to any of my classes it was boring in my opinion. I was lazy never did my homework if I did attend to class it was always late. I was never home I was always with my “friends”. I never listened to my mom I was just a rebelled teenager who…
Hi baby, I just wanted to type you a note. I would write it, but I figured a type note would last longer. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you how much I love you. Everything lately has felt so perfect. I feel like I am in a constant day-dream. I know it feels that way to me because I literally day-dreamed about being with you for so long. Now that it is real, I can’t help but realize how blessed I am. I always knew there was something special about you. From the moment I first saw you I was so…
After five days of nervous energy, at last, Malcolm is here in my apartment. I’ve uncorked a bottle of wine and prepared pasta with pecorino cheese and sausage for dinner. I pour two glasses of wine while he talks of how great it felt to drive the coast route. Something he hasn’t done in a while. And that he would have arrived earlier. Except Emese insisted to fix breakfast, and while eating, initiate him into the art of writing a screenplay. After dinner, we walk to the beach. “You seem…
A conflict is an argument between two people. Conflict can have an impact in our lives. It can hurt our relationships with the people that we love. To avoid the conflict, we should communicate and try to understand the situation. Don’t let the anger, frustrations and disappointments control the conversation between the people that you have an argument with. Don’t walk away from it, try to resolve the conflict before it gets bigger. In May 2015, my daughter and I had an argument about the boy…
I have always tried to live my life without regrets, so this assignment was kind of hard for me. I had to sit down and really think about what it is that I would want to tell my younger self. Then it finally hit me, one thing I would tell myself as a child is to take more opportunities that come my way. Not saying that we should take every opportunity, but to enjoy life a little more when we are given the chance to. I would explain to my younger self that we may not realize it now but we have…
I lived a very fortunate life. My life was not perfect, but there wasn’t much I had to worry about. Tragedy had never entered before. All of that changed when I was informed of horrifying news one January afternoon. There are two days that I can recall perfectly. The first one was the day my granny had a stroke. The second was the day she passed away. I was in physical therapy with my mom for my back. She got a phone call and I knew the second she answered it something was not right. She…
Patrick hated sleeping. It wasn 't because he couldn 't sleep. It wasn 't because he had nightmares. It wasn 't even because he was wasting time not making music. It was because of his boyfriend, Pete. Ever since Pete and Patrick moved in together, Pete had been taking trips out in the middle of the night. At first Patrick had thought it was because Pete needed to go to the bathroom; so he went back to sleep. However, one night, Patrick decided to stay awake longer when Pete was up. Patrick…
School is one of the worst places for me to be. It 's a place full of strangers and stress. Teachers throw all of this work at you, and each of them expect you to have it done. But they never stop to think about the individual. They don 't think about what 's going on with their students and whether or not they are capable of doing the work. Yes, you may be physically capable of it, but no one cares if you 're mentally capable. cafe People don 't care how you 're really doing. They may ask but…
