The Turning of Revolvement Eight years ago on a gloomy day in June, I learned that the world does not revolve around me. It was one of the most significant events to have ever occurred in my life. The way I live my life today is because of this particular event. I was home with my mom, and it was just one of those days where nothing was actually wrong, but it still was a bad day. I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast because I did not want my mom to make me breakfast. She was very sick, and…

My Magnet for Miracles It was 9 o’clock and my sister and I were doing our nightly ritual of brushing our teeth, washing our faces, and making funny faces in the bathroom mirror. As the younger sister, I would do anything to make my sister laugh. I would stretch my face in the most impressive ways and pull the weirdest faces you can possibly imagine in the bathroom mirror. After my face could not move anymore without hurting, we’d go to our bedroom that we shared for 7 years. Kelsey, my sister,…

As far as I could remember the only people that come to mind when I think of literacy sponsors would be my father and my grandmother. They had the biggest impact on me when you talk about literacy.

When I was 14 years old, I realized my sister and I were indeed twins. It wasn't until after my mother's stroke that I realized how much we had in common. We grew extremely close and quite inseparable after realizing we had nobody but each other. Walking into a new school with nobody to call a friend, I looked to my sister as the only friend I had and she was there for me every step of the way. It was like I had found my other half, the piece I had been missing and longed to have. I found my key…

from their parents. Parents often times do not address moral issues, which offers their children no benefit. In Robert Coles’ “I Listen to My Parents and I Wonder What They Believe,” he demonstrates children’s difficulty in processing through different moral messages. Coles emphasizes the parent’s role in assisting their children in moral education. Because children’s vulnerability too many influences, parents have the responsibility to morally educate their children, but often fail. Parents…

Homely: being something familiar with which a person is comfortable and at ease. Comfortable is how I truly felt, I savored the last few bites of pie and slumping back in a recliner with my Nana and Lorraine that was the most incomparable moment in my young life. I felt more at home with those two wonderful women then I did with anyone or at any place. The day began with waking up before the sun and riding in the big black Pontiac that smelled like an old lady and cigarettes. The smell was…

to get job but the addiction keeps her from getting one. I have no parent involvement but plenty of friends. That combination is like a blanket that never fully covers you, you pull it one way it leaves the other side exposed. The last thing I want is to be sent to the…
