Living Things

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). I believe that everyone goes through hardships in life. Some bigger than others, but we all have hardships. Growing up I faced many hardships. My parents divorced when I was thirteen years old. The most difficult adversity I have faced in my life has not ended yet. I thought as I got older I wouldn’t care so much, but from time to time I wonder what my…

aspect of the personality traits to career choices. Tan referred to the ENFJs as the Teachers/Givers and wrote, “As an ENFJ, you’re primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system.” I know for me that is how I tend to operate. I deal with things in a nonconventional way because I never…

career as well as her perspective on life and the pursuit of one's dreams, including her prospects for the future. RH: Why did you choose entertainment as a career? TK: Well, I got arrested when I was a teenager, and I decided that the way I was living my life was not really working out. Me fitting into the "nine to five," traditional, small-town world made me kind of a loser, but when I'm in the…

Opinions, personalities, religion, feelings are things that are similar and different in many families. Because of these things they make a person unique, and then that persons can become a family feeling, and that makes that family unique. One unique family is Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” In this story the family 's relationship revolves around their heritage, with difficulties along the lines. My family is similar in some ways, but mostly different when it comes to mothers, siblings, and…

and saw a really sweet girl that I thought I would get along with. She apparently also saw past my sometimes really bold fashion choices and my religion and saw someone she would be cool living with for a year. She’s a diehard One Direction fan (she and her little sisters) and while I went into that roommate thing appreciating the boys’ talent (and handsome faces), I came out of it loving them almost as much as she did. One of my most vivid memories was the night we were bashing naughty boy…

got brighter until it was close enough to realize it was a person. The person was a girl that looked around my age. She spoke with determination and grace,” It’s your choice, leave or become someone who matters.” I couldn’t move and she was the only thing I could see, the rest was pitch black. I was really confused…

As a young person, I have never really dealt with anything regarding with health, such as health insurance, co-pays, or anything else regarding that manner. My parents are the ones who usually deal with those things, though I must say it is very important to know how it works. This came to mind when I read the article “Bitter Pill” by Steven Brill. This article talks about why bills are so high when it comes to health. It show the reality of how these hospitals work. Something that is not…

and watched it for a while and found a much deeper meaning behind this simple grate. This grate caught my eye because as Bennett talks about in her writing on assemblage this grate felt like it had the power in my eyes, even though it wasn’t a living thing. Bennett said the world is filled “with all sorts of animate beings, some human, some not, some organic, some not.”(Bennett, 2005, Agency of Assemblage, p.1) So even though the grate wasn’t technically alive it…

luck in all future endeavors for someone she barely knew. Aubree Marden is one of the most well rounded, vibrant, strong hearted human beings one would ever meet. Aubree entered my life during my sophomore year of high school and was one of the best things to have ever happened to me. The first impression I had of Aubree definitely wasn’t the correct one. I had always known of Aubree, but the night I finally had the pleasure of meeting her was at a youth group one Wednesday night. I was a mess…

that has seemingly become less of a thing now a day. Being kind, loving your fellow man, with so much death and murder in the world, it’s easy to look at the world we live in now as hopeless. We always have a tendency of letting the bad outweigh the good. News telecasts usually open with the bad news and end with good stories. Whenever a celebrity is having a "meltdown" its front-page news and all over the magazine stands. We put so much emphasis on the bad things that happen we tend to forget…
