One four year old girl named Sara picked a pillow with bunnies and carrots on it and named her pillow ‘Whiskers.’ During rough times, ‘Whiskers’ was always there to comfort Sara. “When Tameka knocked on…

This essay shows that I am ready for the early college setting. Describing an extra-curricular activity that I've been involved in helps demonstrate just how ready I am. I recall being in a summer camp a few years back where we explored our surroundings of nature. They even brought in animals that we normally don't see, such as, snakes, chamileans, rodents, and African cockroaches. When they first said that we were allowed to touch them, I got all jumpy and frightened, but as soon as they said…

a total of thirty-three hours of traveling, my body flopped on the cheap hotel bed in Athens, Greece. I buried my face in the pillow, waiting patiently my best friend to come in through the door. We planned on rooming together during the trip. Soon enough, the door opened behind me. I kept my head in my pillow, hoping to see my best friend. I lifted my head out of my pillow, to find not my best friend, but Ian Galey. My heart sank a little. I knew Ian in class as an acquaintance, but we were not…

Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. Gothic elements such as loss, monsters, and psychological issues are connected to Riggs’ novel, but also to well-known gothic short stories like “The Raven”, “The Black Cat”, by Edgar Allan Poe, and “The Feather Pillow” by Horacio Quiroga. For example, the famous poem “The Raven,” by Edgar Allan Poe, and Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs, share the same gothic element of loss.

clockwise spiral. I focused on loosening her body, allowing her to move, and willed as much energy as I could in order to unbind her. A golden mist emerged from my wand, and surrounded her.

Abi and I cheered! Nicole stiffly sat up, and proclaimed that was the weirdest feeling she’d experienced so…

Throughout my interaction with patients during clinical rotations, I have put in practice the skills I have acquired in the classroom towards an effective interaction with patients. During this practicum, there were two special moments in which I had the opportunity to make a…

safe. Barely enough room to curl up, dark under the blanket roof, and messy from weeks spent sleeping and working there, it looks more like a second-grader’s pillow fort than a teenager’s refuge from a stressful reality. I built it a few weeks ago on a whim; hauled the old white couch away from the wall and lined the new crevice with throw pillows and a soft blanket, topped with a cover to keep away prying eyes. I haven’t slept in my own bed since…

For years, a thin pillow with the details of my birth stayed wrapped around a baby bottle stuffed with hospital bracelets. This pillow was shuffled between the far back of my closet and various boxes under my bed. Though my own name was on both the pillow and the bracelet, Kathleen Sullivan was the name that always stood out to me. Kathleen Sullivan was the name of the person…
