In This Moment

Westcliff Wraith Hayden Andrews and her parents pulled up to their new house in Westcliff, California. “Well, this is it!” Hayden’s parents announced to her excitedly. What did they expect when they showed her this? “It looks like it’s 1,000 years old.” Hayden said, unenthusiastically. Hayden always seemed to have this sixth sense on getting good or bad vibes from people or places, and this place gave off major bad vibes. It was kind of weird, but Hayden decided to give it a shot. Her…

The Breakdown of Family Being a teenager is hard. There is school, and most people do not understand how much work that teenagers do. Teenagers balance sports and homework and church. With school, due dates are all on the same day, and it feels like everything is crammed together. School takes away any time that teenagers might have to have fun. Teenagers also have to deal with their parents. Their parents and family often do not understand all that a teenager has to do. Parents are…

I've never seen a grown up pretending to be a 13 years old girl on you-tube before, must be a new low. Oh, I think that is a compliment, how old do I look do you think? Now I'm a little confused, why did you think I was an adult? Was it the fact I challenged you? Communicated in a grown up way perhaps, I would be really interested to know.

This quote relates to Gatsby’s frequent mindset of trying to recreate his past. F. Scott Fitzgerald, the author of The Great Gatsby, uses symbols to establish the notion of not being able to repeat the…

Taking Life Step- By- Step '. For me, this law means that it 's nature 's assurance that I can achieve any goal by breaking it down into smaller, sure steps. It reminds me to not set a goal and follow through with it with the journey 's end in mind because that would be overwhelming. Instead, by breaking down any task into manageable steps, I don 't have to wait for success at the journey 's end, but rather create a series of small successes along the way. This way my goal would be more…

the garbage. A carefully planned day turned chaotic the moment I picked him up. Life is not a program we can schedule for. We cannot will away events once they have happened. But we can choose how we respond.…

“second best grocery store in Black Bear” (Fitzgerald 1). This is significant in of itself because it provides context to Dexter’s ambitious mindset. From the moment Dexter saw the “vital… radiant [and] artificial” (Fitzgerald…

every moment after that you could relive that moment?
