I Live My Life for You

became me in this world, I would depart in full awareness of myself and all things around me, my life would flash in front of my eyes, I would live my final regrets in the presence of my greatest achievements. I would not face the indignity of the unknown, having to re-learn every piece of myself, in essence having to re-invent myself each time I awoke for the day. Instead I live to witness the heartbreak in the eyes of those who still remembered my love. Each day when I awaken I’m told the same…

Growing up in life we are all taught how to think, talk, act, and listen. Our parents shape us and mold us into who they want us to be, but whom and what we want to be is determined by our own direction. We live our life making choices and turning different directions in life. Sometimes we hit road blocks and distractions other times we cruse by full of excitement and thrills nonetheless it takes a thought process to get there. Through the journey of my life I’ve learned how to cope with my…

of me playing football I’ve had and met multiple coaches that I’ve liked of disliked, but at the end of the day you have to deal with them and play the sport you love. The first coach I ever had as soon as I started playing football was David Price and he was the best coach anyone could ask for. He was a tough coach meaning you had to work for your position but at the end of the day you could sit down and talk to him. Every year we played we had a winning season and never backed down from…

Everything is white. The last thing I remember is how I noticed that my club mate Satoru's older brother Naoto, the driver of the van, was reeking of alcohol. When I pointed it out to him, he turned around to the backseat, to assure us that it's alright and that he's used to drunk driving - while going at twice the allowed speed inside the city limits. He actually even let go of the steering wheel to gesture his case, so the outcome was obvious. Why did I have to learn this way that Satoru's…

Can you imagine being a veterinarian? You help animals who are need and save their lives, just based on symptoms that the owner tells you. Being a vet has always been a dream job of mine since I was a child. Vets not only affect the life of the pet, for better or for worse, but they also affect the lives of those surrounding the pet. Even though being a vet may sometimes be heartbreaking, the rewarding feeling you get when saving a life is worth it in the end, and it pays well too.…

Everybody has many influential experiences in their lives and some of them are more influential than others. Each single event in a person’s life will influence their development as a person whether they know it or not. I know of many influential experiences in my life, but only one of them has decided my future. I never would have thought one of those experiences would have happened on a family trip to Florida. We drove and on the way back, we stayed in a hotel in St. Louis, Missouri. Our…

The two of us have dealt with a lot of ups and downs in our relationship over the past two years, but he has always…

words into my head. "Everything happens for a reason," they say. My parents, grandparents, teachers, friends, and even my siblings have all given me these simple words of advice at one time or another. If asked to count the number of times I 've been told that, "Everything happens for a reason," I 'd be ninety years old and on my death bed before I could finish counting. They think that by simply repeating this phrase I will believe it, but no, I will not ever believe these words. In my head, I…

I got very interesting results from the VIA Survey of Character Strengths. My results established that gratitude is my top strength. I feel as though these results are extremely accurate. At a young age I learned what it meant to be grateful. At two years old, doctors discovered I had a very rare and severe heart condition. As time went on I began to value life differently. I learned that children with my condition normally do not survive utero, hearing that caused me to become grateful…

realities of people's lives and the paths that those realities cause them to live in his poem "Cause and effect." I strongly believe the reason behind the making of this Spiro poem is he is trying to get across the idea that realities like having meager income and going to sub par schools can be major contributing factors to why people go to jail and end up wasting their lives. I believe the messages of this poem are every bit as relevant today as when this poem was written. I agree with the…
