my life. For example the flag of China represents me being adopted. Being adopted has made me appreciate my family, and how important family is.It has also made me accept being diffrentthan the rest of my family. My birthname in the middle of my belt represents the ‘death’ of myself before I was adopted, it was just a name before I was adopted and it means nothing to me. Kathleen is crossed out because like my birthname it doesn't mean anything to me, so that’s why ‘Katie’ is written next to…

what, she will always cause me pain, so much pain. In "I, Too" by Langston Hughes, the line "I am the darker brother", reminds me of my personal experience of being a twin. People have frequently told me, to my face, how they like my twin more than me. I would dismiss this nonchalantly, but on the inside I'd be screaming.

Discussion Post The main emphasis of Dr. Thoennes’ lecture is that “God is for you.” He explains that the various attributes of God all work together for our good, and that “Everything that is true of God…is working on your behalf.” This is an amazing truth, and one that is sometimes hard to believe.

trying to do the dishes. In order to keep me from doing that, dad needed to play video games as long as they entranced me. One of the games he played was The Legend of Zelda. Growing up with this game and spending time with my dad while he played it fueled the love I developed for this game and it’s music. The first four songs on the soundtrack of my life, composed by Koji Kondo, are songs from that video game. The game and songs have become very sentimental to me for that reason. The first…

I viidly remember being told one day by my father, every failure In life leads you to decisions to get better. He told me that like everything in life, even the deepest, toughest scars can lead you to bettering yourself. As an athlete we are constantly told to never shy away. To never be in fear of injury. Prevention is a major key in our victories, But what about when injuries do began to tear away at our bodies? We fear more than ever that our goals and ambisions will be lost. As a high…

retelling the truth of Columbus’s history, which reminds me the question on the fairy tale my little sister asked me. Last summer, my uncle and his family came to my house for a family party, and I met my cousin. While playing with my cousin, she asked me a question “Do you know how the mother in the fairy tale name ”Coconut shell” got pregnant?” I answered “Because she drink the water from the coconut shell”. But my cousin told me I was wrong, and corrected me “The mother get pregnant because…

goes a long way. Every person has their own opinion on love, and if asked to give a definition on love you will receive a different definition from every person. This is because every person sees and feels love differently. I asked a simple question to twenty random people. My question to those people was “In your own words what is love?” My answers that I received were extremely hard to get. You wouldn’t think that my simple question would be too hard to answer, but almost every person I…

“Remind me again… Why am I naked in a field of weeds?” “It's a sacred grove, Arthur, not a field of weeds. And it was your bright idea to go on a quest. No one asked if I wanted to sleep on rocks for a month.” “Shut up, Merlin.” “…” “Oh, stop with the puppy dog eyes. That's hardly fighting fair.” “Nothing ever pleases you, does it?” “Of course not.
