the year 2021. You hear your name echo through the auditorium as you are called to the front of the stage. All eyes are on you as you walk towards the principal who is holding the piece of paper for which you have worked so hard; all of the hours of work, studying, and preparing. Accepting your diploma, you smile and think about your life ahead. You have just graduated high school- now off to college. How will you be remembered as a student? What will you have done? A legacy is how you are…
My Life as a Teen Mom I belong to a crowd of young, strong, independent teen moms. What does a “Teen Mom” actually mean? It’s a term that people occasionally bash us, teen moms, with. Most of the outside population blame us for being a teen mom because they say we ruined our lives and will never have a successful future. Some may say that a teen mom is just someone who gets pregnant and has a baby at a really young age. That 's not even close to what a teen mom actually is. There 's so much…
As the 35th and sworn in with democracy on his mind."Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country,” is one of the most important quotes you would have heard him say on January 20, 1961. This quote is presented by John F. Kennedy and he is an influence in my life. You could say I’m extremely into history, yes, but the life and bravery of Kennedy struck to me as exciting. This influential person is someone that everyone should experience through history! Before…
changed my families life, and forced me to grow up faster than usual. I was no longer the youngest child, no longer the baby of the family, I was now the middle sister, the older sister, a sister that my baby brother, Kevin now had to look up to for support, guidance, and maturity. I am the middle child of 5 children between my mom and dad. My dad has 5 kids including myself, but my mom only has three. Two older sisters, and two younger brothers, places my right in the middle of my family. My…
before is, when you are acting the exact same as someone to get the same effect that the person is getting. You may have heard your parents ask you this question... "If they jumped off a bridge, would you follow?" Another word for a conformist is follower. They tend to go with the flow and be in the "latest trend". So is Colin Wilson just saying we all follow each? Just because some does something new, does that mean that we're going to come to work or school with that on the next day? I think…
the last two months of my life, I have grew and learned a lot of new things. I’ve read some of the bible and learned a few verses that gives me a basis for vocation to be a psychologist. I have learned the rule of time management in Christian stewardship. I have learned, and still am continuing the development of my personality. I have learned the seven habits of Covey’s seven habits of highly effective people, and the value continuously practice them. I have learned what I envision myself doing…
When I first found out that I had to become Socrates and talk to strangers I got a little worried. I am normally very timid and I never talk to people I don’t know. I tried to think of different places I could find people to answer the questions and I finally thought of a place. I work at a flower shop in town and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to find individuals to ask the questions. I chose all of my people based on my first impression of them. I wanted people who appeared to…
has always had a plan for our lives. He knew who we would be and what we would eventually become. He knew that as time went on, we would need extraordinary people in our lives to look up to, and to learn from. This is why when we first were born onto the Earth, God placed us with a family who would love us and whose only desire is to help us become something more than what they could ever become. With this being said, family is not restricted to the men and women you were born to, but family is…
When my mom was 15 years old she was married to my 19 year old father. They got pregnant about a year later at the age of 16. This may seem irrelevant because she was just a typical girl living her life, but her life would be changed forever. Rachel Bragg was six months pregnant when she was in the fatal car accident, resulting in utter turmoil. My dad, mom, and aunt were driving in bumpy hills when they were speeding. The car flipped and continued to crush my mom, along with her…
My Way When I was at preschool, I was told that when I died I would come back to a tranquil place, but little did I know that was not true. I was youthful, full of innocence, and unaware of anything happening outside of the little cocoon I called preschool. I would always walk into preschool, with a foolish grin on my face, knowing nothing was awry in my world. One thing in particular that really frightened me at that time was dying. I was scared of the eternal silence that comes with death, I…
