until the following year. Harrison wrote “Something” on the piano during a recording of the White Album when the band had some downtime to finish some personal matters. The song’s first line comes from an opening lyric in “Something In The Way She Moves” by James Taylor; throughout the piece Harrison referenced various sources as his inspiration. After Harrison showed the others his piece, it took many practices, editing, and arranging to get it to the perfection it is now. Harrison…
Stories are a powerful way to get a message across. In the TED Talk, "If a Story Moves You, Act On It" by Sisonke Msimang, she talks about the limitations of storytelling and how storytelling can help make the world a better place. Msimang claims that justice is what makes the world a better place, not stories. The reason why she says that is because stories usually fail to paint the bigger picture. Although stories don’t make the world the better place, the audience can help by being more…
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to move. No, not at all. A fresh start was healthy for me, and the whole ordeal was just screaming at me to make some friends for once, to dive head first into a completely different lifestyle and become a new person. It would have been my intent to become one of those people who wake up at 5am and do yoga and drink water with fruit in it, and then go for a jog. But that would have been quite the change from who I was before moving. But still, this whole “moving”…

That time when I…
For my critique paper, I have chosen to critique “Bullies Move Beyond the Schoolyard” by Justin W. Patchin and Sameer Hinduja. This article was about the national problem that mostly affects adolescent students around the world on a daily basis. Bullying has been around for a very long time, researchers have been studying what goes on in our school systems, and how bullying has and is increasing in our school systems. Through decades of research that have been achieved we can look back and see…
My Big Move I have lived most of my life in the city. At that time, I lived in an apartment in Newark, Ohio. I saw people walking around outside, I heard the loud cars roaring by, and the noise from the sirens is incredibly noisy on most days. I have finally decided to move on with my life. I had been in three serious relationships in the past, none of which worked out for whatever the reason. I am glad because I have three kids now from that, no boyfriend nor husband though. I have just…
The Way Art Moves the Soul Many concerned parents and educators argue that art class it is a waste of the student’s time and that students should be focusing on their academic education.

Consequently, the art budget is being cut in many public schools. Jesse LaTourette explains that “The main reason for this is because of how costly it can be to the school,”…
I have to admit that, I’m so attached to my MacBook Pro and my IPhone that I even have give them name. To me, my phone and my laptop are an extension of myself, but before I move forward, let me say how I got acquainted to Apple and how I fell in love with it. Since I first came in contact with the digital world, my only point of reference was purely Microsoft and Pc and it was the only type of computers I knew. Years later, I moved to the U.S. and even here Microsoft was the only thing I knew…
useless and unaccomplished. My dream ever since high school has been to get a college degree and to do what I love. Getting a college degree would be huge not just to me but also to my parents. They never had a chance to go to a college but they did move half way across world so me and three of my sisters have an opportunity to further our education and have good careers. When I withdrew from school few years ago, I thought that that was it for me. That I will never get a college degree because…
