My Favorite Mistake

Throughout the first semester of my college experience, I’ve grown a lot in many ways. College change my life by giving me new obstacles to overcome like living alone and taking on a larger work load in a shorter period. One thing that helped me grow throughout the semester is my beloved fur lined crocs. My crocs are my favorite things to wear, and they’re my go to shoe even if it looks ridiculous. This footwear has helped me express my true self, being a little bit silly and most of the…

feel about the past; without it, one cannot have a future, which is the reason I find my memories more important than my dreams. In that same speech, Elie Weisel also said, “Without memory, our existence would be barren and opaque.” I believe this statement to be true as memories, particularly the merry and joyful ones, are something people, especially myself, frequently enjoy looking back upon. My favorite memories are…

whether that be supporting someone or something. For me, loyalty is staying by someone’s side and supporting their decisions even when you don't fully agree with it. This could be with your parents, in a relationship, or it could even go for your favorite sports team. Parents are a good example of this. Parents support your decision even when they don't think it is the best thing for you to do. Take for example when you start dating someone, most parents don't think that person is fit for you…

13 long years later, I am half way done with my final year in high school, the moment we all look forward to as kids. Yes I’m done with my k-12 schooling but I still have a long way to go with college. The thought of that doesn’t bother me as much though because I know I am well educated and have been preparing for this higher level of education for a long time. Even though my year is winding down I know when I am on my own at college there will definitely be somethings I miss and others I’m…

Martial God Asura had the potential to be an amazing novel but unfortunately Shan Liang de Mi Feng messed it up. Writing is very delicate and it is common for people to make mistakes when writing xianxia/wuxia novels. I hope to improve the writing of others in the genre by pointing out common mistakes. First, I should explain the genre. The genre xianxia/wuxia are primarily from Japanese and Chinese countries. The genres are based around cultivation. Cultivation is when people absorbs Qi from…

When one is asked what their favorite subject is, he/ she may say math or science. It is very rare for some people to hear someone say English is their favorite subject because it is tedious and boring. No matter what major a student may be in, there comes a point in most students’ academic careers when being a valuable journalist comes in handy. Some students may not acknowledge what it takes to be a good writer, and there are three crucial components to this. Initially, creativity is the…

is a sporting event that I grew up loving because it is a fun activity that people in my place of resident have all gravitated toward during holidays and simply for enjoyment. I love soccer because in my opinion, it is the best team sport ever and one has to be energetic and athletic to actually play the game of soccer. I have been playing soccer from a very tender aged and as I grew up to be a young man, so did my love for the sport. Soccer serves as a medium of unification, bringing people of…

Walls and barriers are often what slow people down, or stop them completely from achieving their goals. This cluster shows how these authors knocked down their personal walls and barriers and faced it head on, only making them stronger from it. My favorite essay in this cluster was The Movement by Anne Moody. Attending college in Mississippi in the 1960s, Anne is faced head on with her real life walls and barriers when she takes part in a local sit-in at a whites only…

“People are going to label you. It’s how you overcome those labels, that's what matters.” That is a quote from what is personally my favorite show ever, One Tree Hill. It shows how you can change what people think of you, and to be yourself in all circumstances. One Tree Hill was recently taken off Netflix, and there isn't really a reason, but it needs to be put back on because so many people watch it, many love it, and it is a life lesson filled, relatable show. One Tree Hill is a very…

comparing to other countries. THis situation affected my life. I had to struggle with everything and wasn’t informed with any school information. I play around all the time and didn’t really care about the school and were one of those that think about the job and a minimum wage to get money. I wasn’t that lucky to have cousins taking care of me, most of my cousins would have to take care of their own business and would just help me by telling me where my classes. I thought they weren’t curious…
