My Life

is something that I learned to realize is important in my life. Positivity. It’s a choice but I believe it is important for each and every one of us to live by. Being positive is sending out good energy that people can feel, good vibes which people pick up on, and attracting great things. Being positive is having the pleasure of people enjoying your company. This is my grandma; she spreads positivity like a wildfire. When I was 6, visiting my grandma always brought me to joy. At her house…

In “My Meaning of Life” by Emily David she strongly emphasizes her view on life. The poem uses astonishing metaphors to express how she has an intake on her own lifestyle. She tries not to startle us rather to inform. David speaks of peace, love, hatred, and war. She gives us examples on how to explicate what she is trying to tell and ask. The author states, “The meaning of life has no definition, it’s never the same.” To me she is saying one moment people can believe their…

that life is not easy, but I can not give up. When I fail in something and I give up, I will not be successful because I stopped pursuing, my dream. Steve Jobs is a great example because he had a lot challenges like dropping out his college and leaving his company. If he had given up, we would not have a smart phone. When I was in the first semester in my university, I took a low GPA, but I worked hard to raise it. If I had crashed, I would not have scholarship and be in the US to complete my…

“Ah, but I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now”(Bob Dylan). When you are younger in life, you tend to believe you are better than you are. It is not until you are older that you can look back and realize there was much yet to learn. My perspective on life, illustrated through the lens of a backboard, exemplifies my growth as an individual. Swoosh! A young boy about four feet tall with wavy, blonde hair erupts with joy as he watches the orange basketball slide through the rim…

clique but my other has been through hell and back to get me to where I am today. My mother has been the backbone that gets me through everything I go through in life. She is the most inspiring person to me because she is my number one support system, she takes care of me, and she encourage me to battle my obstacles. The most admirable person on this planet to me will forever and always be my mother. My mother has been through thick in thin in life to give my siblings and I a better life than…

capture it or just let it slip?” This particular verse has crossed my mind hundreds of times and I ask myself what I would do if I was in a situation like that. Now, a couple of years ago, I would have chosen to take the easy way out and let the opportunity pass by. Unlike then, today I would have taken the shot and give my all to grasp the opportunity. Through determination, persistent, and courage, I have been able to break through my barrier of fearing failure. In the first place,…

Life was never meant to be easy. It constantly presents us with challenges, and forces us to adapt to the unpredictable curve balls it decides to throw every now and then. In addition, it can be said that how we choose to face these challenges, can show a reflection of our character. Whether it be rising to the occasion to overcome these life presented obstacles, working to avoid them, or sadly allowing them to overwhelm us, our actions can show a direct correlation to describing our character.…

A dream has been growing inside my soul for quite some time - first as a desire to have a studio where I could paint and write, and then developing to include a gathering place where people could feel encouraged, foster friendship, and find healing. After joining our families in marriage, my husband and I combined our dreams. His - of owning a farm and growing our own food - intertwined with mine of a studio and retreat. As we dream of High Meadows, the fragments of our ideas that once seemed…

“Tough love may be tough to give but it is a necessity of life and assurance of positive growth.” -T.F. Hodge. It’s difficult to aspire confined in nothing but negativity and disapproval but there is always a good in every evil that is found in this world. Over the years I would gain this unwanted despise toward my father, I loved him unconditionally but I didn’t understand why our relationship was headed towards such a dark path. We had nothing but memories full of happiness and joy when I was…

CNarrative Before, I used to think death was an awful thing to go through, and that I would never be able to deal with a death in my family. That death means forever gone never coming back, almost as if the world was ending coming to a collapse, and there would be no feelings left but a empty hollow shell after someone passing. From, what I used to think and perceive of death and how I feel about death during the process but how I view everything now has completely changed. When, I was…
