* Not wanting to bring attention to herself, Sarah sat at the back of the chapel. She listened to the eulogies, the Ashleigh they spoke about was bright and spirited. A little wild and prone to taking risks, but no one said that directly.

Strength in Femininity Embrace Though death is inevitable and expected in every human life, to most people, the death of a loved one is the hardest experience they will ever endure.

1953 Prediction of the Far Future “I woke up and everything was the same. I felt useless like always, unlike my uncle, who is doing so much.

In its initial form, memory relations are created when a person establishes some form of extension in conscious activity within the mind. However, memory gaps can be factored in and despite being the same person, people can sometimes forget an event in the past that links each person to being one and the same .

My prediction about Hillary Clinton becoming the president was wrong. Donald Trump won the election and defeated Clinton. Clinton did not get enough votes as predicted by poll data. Trump got votes from Clinton’s supporters that did not vote her.

Clinton did not get plenty votes as expected by polling data. My prediction that…
