The shogunate then agreed by signing the Treaty of Peace and Amity. It quickly grew and became the base of foreign…

I didn't know what an immigrant was until I was probably in the fourth grade when Mexican immigrants were all over the news.

Something I never expected to see in college was a dead body. At first, she was face down in a blue body bag, surrounded by preserving fluids that made some people nauseated. Her head was shaved and the first incisions were made on her legs, arms, back, and butt. Muscles were starting to be isolated and pulled away from the body that housed them.

Growing up as a biracial woman during a time of black discrimination from whites, she could never find her place in the world. She never belonged to the persecuted blacks or the…

There was no light, no voices or soul; just darkness. I felt every cell in my body panic as my air supply began to cut off. I felt my body sink lower and lower. The increasing pressure made it merely impossible for my muscles to contract. My body was immobile, in my head I kept screaming, begging my arms to move, I was pleading my body to desire life. Finally my eyes opened and I realized I was alive. The soil, air and sound where all the same as before, except I could feel every living…

Akira shifted the book bag, brushing her hair further back as she had her hair tied into a ponytail. In the very least, this way, she successfully keep her hair out of her face. "Riko?" The girl called out into the hallway. From down the hall, she heard distinct sounds of banging and muffled curses, but Akira was far used to the girl's actions. "Are you ready? It's time to head out." Riko emerged from her doorway, an excited grin on her face. On her back, was a bag two-times her size. ...…

It feels like yesterday I was still rushing to finish my essay before class in my first year of college. The way my leg shaked as I rushed to finish and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, but at that moment in time all my focus was drawn to my computer screen and I found myself dozing off a couple times as I finished a paragraph.
