because he did what people said he couldn’t do “Funny it seems, but by keeping it’s dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air” (Line 5). This poem is simply about growth, how we must grow in our lives regardless of our environment. Life throws us many obstacles and society can keep us in this shadow, but it is our job to not slip through the crack in the concrete but grow as individuals to lead by example for future generations. When your dreams seem unachievable or unreachable you have to think…

I am about to tell is neither happy nor fun. It was literally one of the worst days of my entire sixteen year old life. It all started on a pleasant Sunday morning in Houston, Mississippi. I woke up feeling groggy from the night before as I had stayed up later than I probably should have. I peeked outside my bedroom window to see the sun shining and hear the birds chirping a beautiful melody. “What could possibly go wrong on such a perfect day?,” I thought to myself. My best friend, Saige, and…

The Streets that Raised Me In his book, Between the World and Me, Ta- Nehisi Coates describes his life growing up the ghettos of Baltimore. Paul Coelho once wrote, “I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.” Ta-Nehisi Coates struggled to survive in an environment that was designed for him to fail. He struggled…

This is my own personal philosophy paper where I will be talking about views on life, health, illness, attitudes, beliefs related to death and dying, experiences and attitudes towards grief and bereavement, importance of culture on death and dying, and expectations of health professionals.

that this tragedy would yield to her. In the scene where Louise is alone in the room, Chopin utilizes symbolism and imagery to illustrate how Louise is forever chained to her old life, and will never truly be free.

always been one of my closest friends and practically my sister. Due to being around her constantly, I did experience a lot of grief because of how perfect her life always seemed to be, especially when compared to my own. Anything she wanted, she got and she was always involved in amusing activities with her family. Walking into her big beautiful house with a big white fence, luscious green lawn, friendly neighborhood, a dog who greeted you at the door,…

the beautiful things and wonderful things- the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world; the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds- even those we love. because we see things so often, we see them less and less.” -Joseph B. Wirthlin. Plane wrecks, car crashes, disease, terrorism and natural disasters are a few of the countless tragedies that happen today. All of these rob us of our loved ones and steel the happiness out of life. We…

of our beautiful city. The streets were empty and posters hung limply on every wall. Broken glass littered the ground and the air was thick and smelled of death. I tried my hardest to justify my reason for being outside. I suppose in the end I am just sick of hiding. I think back to when it the La Grippe had first come.

not possible, except with time. You cannot now realize that you will ever feel better and yet you are sure to be happy again.” What Lincoln described was what happened to me when Baxter, my dog, died. On a Sunday afternoon, I was with Baxter, a beautiful, active Golden Retriever. Usually, we spent our time at the park together, playing frisbee. Since Baxter was so active, I always threw the frisbee for him, and he came whisking back to me with the frisbee in his mouth. Today, however, was…

Learning to live a Christian life is one thing, but living out what we have learned is another story. As Christians, I think we have a greater responsibility because we know how the world should look, and we need to step up and lead the people around us.
