I know the backlash that will come with an opinion such as mine. Even so, I am only passionate about one thing. Nothing else drives me. Nothing else speaks to my soul. Only one thing moves me forward in life. It is what separates me and yet joins me with the rest of humanity. It is love… A love so vehement and unabating. This…

In one of Ray Bradbury 's best sellers, Something Wicked This Way Comes, he combines a few things people fear in real life as well as dark fiction. I chose this particular book because I enjoy the darker stories and occasional horror movie. With the upcoming Halloween day, I couldn’t have picked a more appropriate book. This story focuses on two teenage boys and an adult, all of which are preoccupied with their ages. Jim and Will are teenage boys who want to be more mature and older. Will’s…

The examination system can be traced back thousands of years ago in China, where it started in the year 206 BC. Considering that education was very vital by then, people were selected to become leaders based on merit by using exams. This was in a bid to eliminate the unfair selection that was mainly based on the connections that one had to a very well-known family either by wealth or even political affiliations (Kaplan). A person would be raised to a particular social status depending on how he…

this historical city. Along with my presentation, I also prepared my trip to not miss any point of interest in this city. Coincidentally, a close friend is an Athenian who moved to Ecuador as a teenager, but has managed to summers there. My friend and I met when we were college students and kept this friendship for more than 15 years. She was very excited for my trip and offered tips about places I should not miss in Athens. She also gave me two of her friends ' contact information for…
