Personal life

Rashida Rowe tells us, “Life is unpredictable...Today you have and tomorrow you may not have, be thankful for the good that stays with you.” This statement could not be more accurate. One aspect of life I can be certain of is its marvelous and dreadful unpredictability. Nearly four years have passed since this became painfully evident to me, and still not a day goes by where it doesn’t haunt me. My day began like any other and ended like no other when I awoke on Monday, June 17, 2013 ready to…

Your life is the story of your existence. Each story is different, but they all contain the same variables. These include birth, growth, change, and death. Anything else is based on both your decisions and the decisions of the people around you. My life follows the same rule, although, I am typing out my story for you to read while your life will remain to be much of a mystery. Like most, my life starts with birth which, for me, occurred on December 5th, 2001 in the small town of Florence, SC…

amazing.” I have never heard a single person say otherwise. So now you must think I am of privileged few, a gem of reproductive success. I must tell you otherwise. That is not to say my experience as a twin has been bad. I would say quite the opposite. Life as a twin has been amazing. Ever since I can remember my twin brother and I have been inseparable. We obsessed over firefighters together, dreamed of being astronauts together, played on the same sports teams together, I do not remember a…

walked through multiple arduous roads. These tough roads have challenged me and have transformed me into the person that I am today. The most difficult and recurring challenge that I have faced all throughout my life would have to be being an immigrant. The challenges that have unfolded in my life due to my status have caused me to learn ways to overcome such things as discrimination, adjusting to a different environment, and the feeling of isolation. Thus, with overcoming such massive…

Personal object that encapsulates my personal life, interests and values is an alarm clock. The alarm clock in the picture, especially means a lot to me. It was a gift from my best friend from Korea a few years ago, when I told her I was going to move to the United States. She knew that I would need one to wake up in the morning. Alarm clock encapsulates my personal life, because I need it every single day in order to keep up with the schedule both with my friends and teachers. Without alarm…

I made it a mission to do everything that I could do to make it in life. I learned at a young age that I was on my own. I defended me since no one else would. I still got to defend for myself even now because I got no one. I know I seem like I know everything and that I got everything under control but…

The paths of life often lead to different directs, the path to take is up to an individual. These paths can be positive or negative and can potentially lead to good or bad. Over the past five years I have found meaning and purpose to my life. I have chosen many paths that have been positive for building myself in the past five years. The evolution of my life can be described by many theories. Many roles, such as family, culture, gender, race, and religion have help to guide my…

corner of this enormously distributed earth. Concrete existence of life through all these million years of our primitive brothers have confirmed fixed prospects of survival and resource-availabilty in the world. This clearly indicates that all of our basic needs are similar to one another. They include, finding food, shelter and clothing which is genetically hardwired into our instincts and comes naturally to all of us. But, on a personal view there exists name, identity, character, religion,…

Over the course of one’s lifetime, One typically transforms throughout the years as they are presented with new life situations and new varieties of people that help shape them into a better person. Throughout my 18 years of life, I have without a doubt changed for the better, and I am still transforming daily. It all started whenever I was in kindergarten, developmentally being a year or two behind the other kids because of my late birthday, I had to work harder to comprehend things due to the…

times in her life ( tests, sports, a vain attempt at artistic skills) it becomes a little delusive to continue to believe that one day I will "triumph." That one day I will "get my time to shine." You eventually grow accustomed to always hearing "no", receiving the letter that reads "we are sorry to inform you that..." or simply having another door shut right into your face, and after a while, per say my sixteen years of life in…
