In the Bedroom

I sprinted to the other side of the living room straight to my bedroom saying goodnight with a fake smile on my face. I jumped frantically in bed while adjusting the sheets I took a look at Aqsa sleeping innocently. “Just tell her what you heard,” I told myself.“No way! I didn’t even tell them to stop. I was eavesdropping…

The time I went to Tennessee It was close to the end of the of November and my little brother's birthday was on the 21st of November. We're leaving for Tennessee on 17th we were on the road but the drive was silent because everybody was occupied rather it was playing the game or listening to music. I was just looking out the window enjoying the view there were alot of trees and water around and the sky was a little bit of blue and a little bit of pink which meant the sun was leaving until the…

associated promises included a higher minimum wage and more support for childcare (both of which the Conservative Party have appropriated to some extent), stronger controls on zero-hours contracts, and the repeal of some benefit cuts, most notably the bedroom tax (BBC News, 2013). Miliband was clearly comfortable in this territory, highlighting some of the daily struggles for ordinary people that coalition policy had caused or exacerbated. However, as suggested above, Miliband’s attempt to…

In 1997 my two kids and I moved into an apartment. A two bedroom that was subsidized housing (based on income). My son was 7 and my daughter was 7 months old. Their dad refused to have anything to do with them because I chose to live for the Lord and not live in sin. I had to make up my mind, and raise them on my own. I had two jobs at the time. My first job was in childcare, and my second job was in the evening, at a grocery store. In order to work my evening job, I had to take the kids to my…

days brighter. Whimsically jumping to the gate of the cage as I saunter into the bedroom; Copper is always jovial to see me. In addition to all this, Copper has also proven to act as an inspiration to me as well; the very center of an event that has impacted who I live as today. One small, seemingly insignificant moment that has solidified my resolve to make the best of my situation. The modest, but spacious bedroom smelled of sweet, buttery sugar cookies. TARDIS blue, textured walls…

I Grew Up Here I as a young bouncing child grew up in Dickenson, Texas. I was mostly raised by my Nana Restivo, Uncle Mark, and Papa Restivo. My Nana and Papa are my grandparents who live in Dickinson and my mom is Stephanie ulen. But on the weekends and some other weeks I would go and live with my mom. Scott and she had already separated and Scott was in the army so he was away a lot. Scott is my birth father. This caused me some pain because my mom now had another boyfriend Brian who I now…

It is interesting to note, that the entire power play, shift in status etc is done through female characters in a domestic setting, devoid of any male characters or the socio-political puppets. The play happens to be much different than other of Chekhov’s plays for the environment here is of a Russian provincial city. The fact that the sisters dream of escaping the meaningless idea of existence and the humdrum of mundane life pretty much explains what the provincial life permeates. In the very…

mini ocean within one's bedroom would lead to a rotten seed. On the contrary, delaying the much-needed waterproofing of our house gave root to and was the direct catalyst for the independent adult I am today. The flood damaged most of my possessions, left my room dangerous and smelling of mold, and devastated what I called home, but it couldn’t have been a better example of a blessing in disguise. The flood was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I shared a four-bedroom house with my…

Lifestyle Change Project For the lifestyle change project, I chose to reduce my energy consumption. The primary reason for choosing this was to save money. Energy consumption was one aspect of the environment that had not paid much attention to. This change is also universal. Anyone can make a conscious effort to reduce his or her electricity consumption. It essentially requires awareness to the issue. Electricity use has “environmental implications, a reduction in electricity use by any means…
