Personal life

I make sure to get all of my homework done even if I am sick. I put a deep emphasis on school. I realize the importance of exceptional grades, but not only that. I feel that the knowledge I am learning now will help guide me through the rest of my life. I may not remember the Law of Sines, or who won the Trojan War ten years from now, but I will have learned important…

important role in their personal and professional lives. Having a good career provides them a more desirable lifestyle by making them economically stable and likewise it also strengthen their self confidence. And more often, education works as an instrument to be successful in this world. Being educated more often, changes an individual 's view on the society. In addition, the educational experiences a person gaining in their college life help them throughout their whole life. Because they are…

ago I found myself in Redlake, Minnesota. On that Indian Reservation, I became awakened to the idea that helping others is not selfless, which is contrary to society's perception that volunteering is strictly beneficial for only those helped. In my personal experience, I have gained just as much or even more than the people that I had the privilege to spend time with. My natural instinct has always been to assist people without even thinking about it, and I had been completely blind to the fact…

Throughout my life, I have had many formative experiences, some good and some bad. However there are few that stick with me today, dictating nearly everything I do. I am an avid hunter, outdoorsman, and conservationist, consequently one event that I can point to and say “That has had a profound impact on my life!” is the first time I went hunting. Hunting changed nearly my entire outlook on life; I feel more connected to my family, friends, nature, and most especially God. I have had many…

Because in the back of my mind I know that isn't true. Things only get better when you make it happen! When you take matters into your own hand, when you refuse to cry anymore tears or be hurt anymore. Some people live the perfect, magazine cover, dream life but some people aren't so fortunate. See, my father passed away when I was 10 years old. He was my world, shining day and my one and only true supporter. When he passed away, I felt like I was alone. My Mother and I relationship was more…

The car was packed with everything she could fit into the trunk of her mother’s vehicle, and soon enough Becca was driving through her neighborhood in Shelburne Falls, the town she had lived in her entire life, anxiously beginning her freshmen year as a Health, Wellness and Occupational Studies major at the University of New England. As she drove down the back roads she knew so well, she could not help but think back on all she was leaving behind. Her quiet home amongst farmland, the bed she…

I had what appeared a good life being able to live at home raising my three children while attending college, but on the inside, I was lost and lonely. My mother and first husband passed over within two-year span, remarried and found myself divorced four years later. A number one priority was to keep the lives of my children as normal as possible by putting their needs before mine. Yet I notice a cycle of being at the wrong place at the wrong time. How do I stop this? What am I missing? I…

During this time period I was honestly so bored with my life. I had nothing to do because I had no money I can waste, at least not mine because I don’t want to waste my money I rather have someone else buy me stuff than me buying it myself and wasting precious money. I laid in bed all day and did nothing productive in my life. I exclaimed to myself ‘’Ugh I’m so bored I literally want to go shopping if I don’t I’m literally gonna shoplift the entire mall’’ I yelled out when no one was home. I was…

Have you ever heard the saying, “life is hard, but we make it much harder” ; by Ryan Holiday? It is up to you to decide whether or not you want to succeed, and when you decide, it is up to you to figure out when you're going to make things happen. Everything and everyone is attempting to shape you out of your character, and it is up to you to decide what defines you, not what or who is around you. Becoming defined by the environment you were raised in, is basically becoming invisible. Meaning…

through high school, then repeats the cycle through college, gets their degree and goes out into the “real world”. They meet someone, have a family and move out to the suburbs. That is the path that most americans take throughout their long journey in life. Contradictory to that some of the wealthiest people took the risk of taking their own path and profited very well from it. “Have the courage to follow your own heart and intuition” (Steve Jobs). Steve Jobs, the creator of Apple did just…
