experience in nature. The teacher tells the students to pay close attention to the story. My favorite experience in nature was spring of 2016 in up state New York. I was camping and loved the tranquil forest filled the sounds of the river and birds. The plush green trees and breathtaking views on the hiking trails. Swimming in the crystal clear waters, the large fish and fly fishing, the long nights laying under the stars with sounds of the owls at night. Waking up to the sweet smells of dew…

Every young woman dreams of the day her handsome prince charming will extend a proposal to enter into holy matrimony. In 1987, this young naïve southern girl named Melissa met a suave and debonair Air Force Sergeant on a blind date on her 19th birthday. After a tumultuous one-year courtship, Billy proposed on Christmas morning in 1988. Sit back and enjoy a tale that entails what most people believe would not end in a happily ever after story. Nevertheless, this story will take the reader on…

And so, each night Marilyn Monroe was left alone in her bedroom, the tone of a dead line resounding in her ears. Falling into a slouch, she’d glance down at the phone cradled in her porcelain fingers, then let out a soft sigh of disappointment, tenderly placing it onto the receiver. Maybe she’d try again tomorrow, but deep down she knew her attempts were hopelessly futile. Just as futile as trying to get up out of bed and face a new day. She didn’t want a new day. She wanted a new life. Towards…

smarts to understand either. I'd be flat out lying if I took the oath. While political oath takers swear to uphold the laws of our land, most of them (in my never humble opinion) set out to break them as fast as their backsides thump down in some plush chair. They will bully, connive, coerce, castigate, manipulate, bribe, seduce, bamboozle,…

For my interview paper, I decided to consult Ms. Jennifer Kalish who has worked at the Los Angeles Superior Court as the JusticeCorps Program Director since its premier in 2004. Justice Corps trains a selected group of college students every year to volunteer in several civil courts to provide litigation process and translation assistance. She has been able to engage and assist citizens of all walks of life, and I believed that her exposure to the inequalities in American society through the…

I slowed my BMW down and turned my music off as I shoved my map and directions into my Marc Jacobs designer purse and made my turn onto the crumbling road. An eerie draft blew in from my windows, which I quickly rolled up, as I drove past rows of devastated apartment buildings. Some of the windows on the apartments were hastily boarded up with plywood and through others violent shouts erupted; garbage scattered the street creating a trail leading to the overflowing mounds of trash falling out of…

car couldn 't spot us. Karlee frantically looked for the phone to turn off the ringer and the music; clever move. But what choice were we going to have to make next? The night didn 't start out crazy like it did, later on. I was lying on Karlee’s plush comforter, flipping through the different TV channels. Karlee came in with a mouthful of Cheetos and a couple of snacks in her hand. I have no exact knowledge of how long Karlee and I had been friends at that point, but I believe it was at least…

that Tom’s wealth comes from his “family” coupled with the fact that “even in college--” a time when most students struggle with money and have to work but only earn a little money-- Tom’s spending habits were quite extravagant, illustrate that Tom’s plush lifestyle is not supported with money that he himself earns and works for. Since Tom is not a self made man, although his lifestyle may seem ideal, it cannot be said that he is living the American Dream, thus creating the elusive character of…
