My Heart Will Go On

a major impact on the individual’s life” (Santrock, 2013, p. 5). For me, I remembered my own nonnormative life event like it was yesterday. 5 years ago, my grandmother passed away without a notice. I was 16 at the time when I first heard the tragic news about my grandmother. I remembered my uncle called my mom and told her that my grandma had been hospitalized in critical condition. My grandmother had a heart attack in her home where she hit her head on the drawer near her bed. She was in comma…

The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe is the text I’ve used as my related text in conjunction with my prescribed text, The Tempest by William Shakespeare for the area of study. Both texts texts communicate how discoveries initially impact oneself but increasingly develop to become far-reaching and transformative for greater society. Furthermore, they investigate how confronted about their culpability and provoked to take honourable courses of action. From Prospero’s small initial discovery of…

My heart is pumping a hundred miles per minute; I jump up like a frog to get some blood flowing to my legs, then it’s time to begin. “On your mark,” I prepare my mind for the pressure I'm about to endure; “set,” the signal to move one leg in front of the other; “Go!” My legs are going faster than I can even think to tell them to go. I begin sprinting to the first hurdle that signifies who is running the fastest; I’m shaking; my heart is pounding out of my chest; I feel the sweat dripping down my…

the first time when I was seven years old. There was an event for the students that give some presents, if they come to church. I was fascinated by the special gifts so that I could have a motivation to go to church on every Sundays. Even though I was telling everyone that I am a Christian and I go to church, I was not a true believer. In other words, I just went to church because it was Sunday morning and there were many friends that I wanted to hang out with. There was no opportunity to think…

Do I really want to do the violin as a career? Do I love the violin so much that I want to spend the rest of my life with it? These questions pondered in my mind as I looked out the window in my dad's car on the way to the Heifetz Summer Music Institute. Since I am 15 yrs old and going to college soon (time flies fast), I realized I really needed to think about what I might want to do as an adult. So during the summer, I went to Heifetz to spend time with other great string musicians and…

providing an education of mind and heart. This mission statement attracted me to Whitworth compared to the other schools I got accepted at. An education of mind seeks to help a student pursue a rigorous study that will enable them create solutions to make the world a better place, while an education of the heart seeks to kindle a compassion to heal, inspire, protect and provide for the weak, marginalized, and the poor amongst us and globally. After completing my first semester and looking…

The experience in my life that’ has helped me is, I have been going to bible study at the Halsey Valley Victory House. Paul Estro leads the Bible stud there on Tuesday nights. We would discuss certain passages in the Bible. We would have discussions on what the Bible is saying to us. He would also have notes written out for us to follow him. If I did not understand what he was talking about, I would ask questions. When I was going there, I was learning more about the Bible. We would also take…

the best decisions of my life to this day. If I wouldn’t have chosen to go on my very first bow hunt, I would have never been hooked on the sport that I love. Hunting is special to me. It is time alone with my dad and friends and I would have never been a part of until the day I made the decision to leave the small town of Orange City and go to a new even smaller hunting town called Bedford. I will forever leave a piece of my heart in this town I often call home. It is where my first hunt took…

bright day I woke up super excited my heart racin`````g and I was smiling. Today we were going on a field trip! Our class was going to DeSoto Caverns.
