My World

In today’s world, many people try to define success in terms of having power over others, winning over others, or the ability to dominate others.

crayon I have been creating art. I colored on anything I could get my hands on, and was always adding more color everywhere I possibly could. My love for painting blossomed my Junior year of high school when I took an oil painting class and fell in love. I knew from the very first day that I had found what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I have been blessed with such a beautiful gift and I plan on using it everyday for the rest of my days. I plan on attending the Cleveland Institute of…

Plane? These are only a few of the many thoughts racing through my mind. When I got an email from Mr.Pergament, i’ll be honest, I was worried I got into some trouble.

He would be pleased. . . . . . . . . . . . . Thomas was excited for his first day of kindergarten. He was looking forward to new friends…

separate worlds in existence, there is one world where there are the material objects and then the other world contains the non-material objects or the “shadows.” However, another philosopher who followed Plato believed is the matter of the universe, form of the world, and the actuality and potentiality.

finding where we are in life, such as comparing one’s life to that of other’s. We must know that we are not alone in this world and that we have an obligation in taking care of others.
