I Want to Hold Your Hand

renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2 (New International Version) I am pursuing a career in counseling as I feel God himself calls me to counsel. My intent is to apply for the Master’s in counseling program at Colorado Christian University to start in the fall of 2016. I will be using all my life experiences to help others. My hard times have laid the groundwork for me to go on to get my degree.…

wretched away by the hand of violence” (Jacobs, 913). She depicts an image of the tendrils of the heart being twined around objects to show how love is exemplified. The tendrils are the feelings that are formed by individuals. They are what connects one person to another. Jacobs draws the picture up of the tendrils wrapping around an object and then lets in her true feelings of love by saying, that any moment it can be “wretched away by the hand of violence” (Jacobs, 913). The hands of violence…

ahead. - It 's about the baby. Me, having a baby. You 've made yourself clear. We can 't keep having this conversation. I 've decided to do it. - I 'll have Smanga 's child. - Oh! - Excellent decision, my baby. - Now you 're thinking, my girl. Looks like I won 't be returning home just yet after all. But I have conditions. Anything. Speak, and we 'll make it happen. I can 't sleep with Smanga. - What are you saying now? - It 'll have to be IVF. What is that? What are you talking…

are the excuses for not wanting to change. For instance people talk about the excuses on how time, money, controlling portions, and not being motivated to live a healthy lifestyle is not attainable, but if you look it at, it really is. To prove that, I will debunk each of those excuses and show that obesity is indeed reversible. What is obesity? It’s when someone who is so overweight threatens their health. Statistics show that thirty-five percent of Americans are classified as having a…

drinking wine. I am avoiding alcohol, for the safety of my already fucked up mind and hormones. “Em’ knows it better…” Jess says making me get back to planet Earth. “What?” I ask confused. “You know, when we were kids and you forced that jerk of Matt to eat your cake…” my cousin says and I need a minute to understand. “Well, what you did Em’?” suddenly, after a night of silence, Brian asks in a seductive tone. “Not much… she poisoned him, on purpose” Liz shares laughing, but all I see are Brian…

I have pictures! And a summery! For some reason the fins look great in the picture but the perfectionist inside me can pick out every little mistake in reality. I guess you could say they are growing on me. ;) I have decided to just move forward and not worry about the paint. Summer is almost over I have got to get this done! I have been swimming in my monofin all year long and that has taken up some of my time as well. Like Ciriun said I can just make another one after I have more experience.…

boy that held my heart; I bet you’re wondering why you’re coming home to this notebook paper instead of me. I mean, I have always been there when you come home every Monday. Three years really is a long time. But, I guess some things change. And the truth is, I'm gone. And I’m not coming back. Because I can’t take it anymore. I can’t take you anymore. This is probably so pathetic to you. It crushes me to think that I’m breaking apart from who was once my true love. And I know I’m weak for not…

Her eyes flicker like an unreliable light globe, being filled with light only every few seconds. Her left-hand twitches through the nerves of her weak and thin arms. The blanket created a pattern on her face like it was drawn by a child while she has been asleep. The red and black alarm vibrates beside the thin mattress, never being too loud as she didn’t want to wake The Man Upstairs. That’s what we call him, The Man Upstairs. When you wake up in here you wake up slowly, so you don’t really…

they have control. The reader likes to think they can solve the mystery before it happens. This makes the reader want to carry on with the story to find out if they are right or not. Many writers employ and use this technique including Roald Dahl and Guy de Maupassant. My influences for this selection of stories are Shirley Jackson and Harold Jaffe. By using these authors as inspiration I was able to link my stories with a common theme. Both authors have a darker side to their writing for…

and in the term “hold my hand”. Her compassion shows through when she decides to look past her own desires by acknowledging the reality that he will eventually forget, not because he wants to but because life will distract him and pull him away. Not only is it human nature to forget, but life will simply require him to think of her less and less over time. The line by line analysis of this poem will serve to clarify the critical points set forth by the speaker. “Remember me when I am gone…
