challenger. I have worked and studied at the same time, taking classes while working a full-time job is daunting; however, it sounds a challenge, so many people try it, but they cannot because it ruins their lives. Multitasking has negative consequences: bad social life, lack of sleep, and tight timetable. A lot of the things i do in life are to improve the way me and my family live. I study, work, and make choices just to have a better social life. Like me people who…
My mother flew into a raging fury. She threw books and knocked items off the desk in my room while screaming til her face turned red; meat cleaver in her right hand, left hand in a fist. “Nǐ xiǎng sǐ ma?” Do you want to die? My brother was in his bedroom, located one floor down. My father was in his bedroom, located a few doors down. What was Hell for me was silence for others. For them this was the usual occurance that played over day by day. I remember this memory like it was yesterday,…
Kyle Devillier September 15, 2016 College Writing 1310 The Faceless Enemy The problem with life as we know it, is the fact that we are human. It holds us back because of the time limit that has been placed among everyone on earth. The reality of death makes us try to live each day like it could be our last. Music has helped bring this understanding upon me in a very inspiring way. Lifetime principles and important realizations are often transferred through music such as the simple concepts of…
I define effective goal writing as actively choosing a desired path, with the intent of accomplishing a given purpose. There are various ways to write effective goals, however the acronym “S.M.A.R.T.” can adequately be used to assist anyone with setting and achieving goals. S.M.A.R.T. fitness goals (2009), suggests to be specific with goals, track your progress, set short-term/achievable goals, set realistic/flexible goals and to aim for goals that are on a short-term time frame. In order to be…

rules, but a way of life to be practiced. Morality is the possibility for people to flourish in happiness, while considering the implications of those actions for future generations. The outcomes of our happiness will not be seen as instant karma for our children, but by what world is left for them to flourish in. Moreover, this world is not ours, we are only temporary residents of it, and consequently humans are the only species that are aware of this temporary existence. I believe that Berry…
The light is so much more than mere illumination. As I experienced, being in the presence of the Light was healing, loving, and fostered a sense of belonging, of home. This is because the Light is Christ, Himself. Also, according to His words, to know Christ is to know His Father. Christ is the way, the bridge to have a relationship with God. To know Christ is to know God. As there are many religions, beliefs, ways of believing in a deity or higher power, all are missing God’s divine truth…
It is important to life your life, to not to sit around and reflect about the bad when you should be focusing on the good, to live your life down to the last seconds so that at the end you will not have regrets. I chose to analyze an untitled poem written by C. Joybell. All of her poems inspire me and go hand in hand with my life. In her poem, she writes how you can be the most beautiful person in the world and everyone can see the light in you but if you do not know it, then that does not…

After I completed high school it was never in my plans to attend college because I always felt like I hated school and it simply just wasn’t for me or wasn’t something that I had planned on doing ever. After graduation, I played around, partied, and didn’t take life seriously. A year passed by and I thought to myself what are you really going to do to show your future children that success comes as long as you put in hard work for it. Fall 2016 I got into to college and it was the best wake up…
