My Heart Will Go On

When senior year comes around every senior is happy, it is almost time for them to graduate and go to college to start the next chapter of their life. My senior year would be different. I still remembered the day like it happened yesterday, a few of my family members and I had lunch at memaw's that day, we always have lunch or dinner there at least once a week. My Uncle Ronnie walked in and, I just felt this sense of something was wrong, Ronnie and I was close ever since I was born, so…

greed and envy with my help, because if not LLEH World will hold her soul. I remember seeing her once in my past too, on my travels through the northern cities of massachusetts before I died and became the reaper, she was six at the time galloping through the gravel like an invisible horse carried her, so innocent, and kind. Fun fact for you, young children have the purest souls of all ages than by the time their sixteen they become corrupted and full of despair. Yet I laugh in my own mind,…

sleep. I can’t eat. I can hardly breath without thinking about him. It seems silly right? To let an emotion take over my logical thought process. How is it that I can be so on course, so on track, but suddenly I see Mr. Right and I am fleeing in every direction like a madman? Unfortunately, as much as I want to sit here a preach, “You go girl! You go after your man! Follow your heart!,” that would be ill advised. The truth is that love is not enough for a relationship. You must listen to your…

Home is where the heart is. While many people take the saying loosely, stitching it on copious throw pillows, poet Savannah Brown takes it literally. Every body part has a room to correlate to. Throughout Savannah Brown’s “real estate,” the speaker continuously describes herself by comparing herself to a home. The speaker begins the poem describing the type of home she is. She says, “i am my own / i have built myself a one bedroom / single bed home in my bones” (1-3). Clearly, a one bedroom,…

How do I know if my decision is right? This question often comes to my head whenever I make important decisions. What if I make a wrong decision? How will it affect me and people around me? After that, usually comes a mini panic attack and I won’t be able to concentrate anymore. Overthinking used to be my bad habit back in my high school days. However now, whenever I have the slightest idea about the righteousness of my decision, I will just simply remind myself about my perception of what is…

That’s a line only a good guy could think of. Yes, a player could use it as a manipulation tool but if a guy says it with an ounce of sincerity you know he has a heart of gold. This tune should be the good guys anthem. He sings about getting over jealousy, raising kids, basically being the best man for this particular girl. I wonder if the girl in this song is a bit of a free spirit. With an opening verse referencing her “wandering parts” and the chorus’ final line being “I will hold you down”…

Since I was four, I dreamed of being a “heart doctor and fixing the world's broken hearts.” That dream quickly turned into my ultimate goal of being a Cardiologist. A goal that I am working toward every day and I am getting closer than I ever dreamed possible. I believe that being a Healthy Dawg Ambassador would help to further this lifelong dream of serving others. I am ecstatic for all of the HDA opportunities to come, but the ones I am most excited for are giving tours of the Health Center,…

ATP. Lactate threshold is when the body is no longer capable of taking out more lactate form the blood and the level start to rise rapidly. This calculation is used to measure the fitness of an individual. In this lab we will be comparing RPE with heart rate and blood lactate while increasing workload. For this lab we had two participants, both male subject two being very…

see people wanting to stand up for something, but don’t do it. People get so scared because they don’t want someone to judge them or lose someone they care about. I had stood up for my sister Hannah when “rumors” were going around about her. I had lost friends because of it and I would not change that. Hannah is my baby sister and no friend or person is more important than her. I wasn’t going to let people say things about her or call her some inappropriate things. I had stood up for in a…

The government states there is nothing wrong with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), U.S. Food and Drug Administration. (n.d.) then , what was wrong with me? Oh yes, how did I get on a healthier path when I eliminated it from my diet? I believe that high fructose corn syrup should be banned. I diagnosed with a nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFL) and was on the border of becoming a diabetic. That was two years ago. I went on a strict regimen of no high fructose. I do not mean just giving…
