For example not seen them again or spending time with them. I think the fearing…

I abruptly sat up in my bed, coughing and gasping for air. All around me was darkness and silence. I remember being terrified as I tried to scream out to my parents. Luckily, my parents had awoken to my coughing and were able to rush me to the ER. Reliving this experience has been my greatest fear. For years my asthma and allergies were not under control. I was on multiple medications, and saw little to no relief. After speaking with our local pharmacist, my parents and I were informed that my…

Anxiety holds my hand while 3 a.m. holds my…

For those who have never endured these fits of terror, the physical sensation is comparable to that of a heart attack or the mental anguish of being buried alive, trapped. Although this anxiety has affected my life negatively, it has taught me to face my fears. While it has only been recently that I identified my symptoms as panic attacks,…

There are several features about me that describe who I am. For instance; I can be funny, kind, intelligent and headstrong. However, I suffer from acute shyness and tend to panic easily and at times it has caused problems in my personal life. Such as writing essays about myself or having the confidence to stand in front of a room of my peers and present, but my shyness does not define who I am or what I stand for.

Maya Angelou once said, “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” In her poem called “Alone”, she gives an extended example of a reason as to why some people are unable to thrive in life and why others do. “Alone” is about the fact that no one can survive in this rough, cruel world alone, and Maya Angelou depicts this through mood, figurative language, and symbolism.
