Living Legend? The first time I heard Kanye West rap was with his album 808’s and Heartbreaks. The first song I remember listening to was ‘Heartless’ by Kanye West. I was just a young boy, about 10 years old or so and I was relatively new to the to the music world and did not know much. I only really knew about the young pop stars that teenagers were all crazy about and the older music that my dad always listened to. But people at first told me not to listen to Kanye West because of his music…

Values of a person are the things that they believe are important in their lives. It is a way to know how the person is, almost like “judging a book by its cover”, except the cover is their value. I did not know what my values were. It was not until today that I found out. Although my values are different from the ones when I was a kid, I believe the values I have now are the right ones. At a young age, I can remember that my values were fun and friends. The values that I had back then are not…

You give me a healthy body, and you take it away. You give me a joyous spirit and you take it that away too. Now you give me love and you try to take it? HA! You THINK you’ve bested me. I want my health back. I want my spirit back. I want love. I’ll fight for it all, because damn it I’ve been too ashamed to know that I still deserve it. Now I’ve found someone that has it and not only that has it but can give it to me. So now I say to you God I’ll…

When a couple becomes parents for the first time, there are many issues that might need to be negotiated, for example, how the couple decides they want to raise their children. Society as a whole is made up of many different family dynamics so it is important that a mother and father have the same ideas about how they are going to raise their own children. A couple may need to determine how many children they are going to have, what their names are going to be, if they are going to send them to…

On May 9th, 2014, ALS took the life of my grandma, Nancy May, or as we would call her “Granny.” ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a horrible disease that slowly killed her through the nervous system by weakening muscles and affecting her physical function. In the month of March, 2012 she found out she was diagnosed with ALS, which happened to be one of the worst days ever for me. Even though she was battling with a disease she knew she would not win, she still managed to care for us. A…

I carried out a 25min-long interview with one of my classmates whose name is E.R. (from a different class) and her husband P.R. They both are Polish immigrants and currently living in a suburb of Chicago where dominantly Polish immigrants live. I visited them at their home to interview on the weekend. Before the interview, my classmate introduced her husband to me and had a chance to chat with them in advance. This was a warming process, which especially helped PR get to relax. Since he had not…

Wind bustled through the branches of the trees, making the leaves howl in their symphony. Walking along the gravel path in the woods makes you realize how intricate the clash between weather and nature can be. Two natural forces both in harmony and constantly fighting. The rain was going to come down any second; it’s distinct smell was filling the air. Plush, intertwining clouds pushed their grey front towards where I stood. The trees continued their protest against the wind as it blew their…

Since kindergarden, I have always struggled. Behind in most classes, the only friend I still had was Brandon, the boy who once saved me. Acting as a parental figure, I looked up to him for everything, depending on him for any problems I had. In fact, he was the one who taught me to listen to everyone 's problems. However, on March 3rd, 1995, an event occurred that scarred me for life. As school finished, I got ready to go to the park like I always did. I was already in 2nd grade, and was…
