The Time I Broke My Foot In 2013, when I was nine I was at my dads for father's day. It was a really nice spring- summer day we were out on the deck celebrating father's day. A lot of people where over. .After the party we had to clean up everything. Once we were done my friend and I rushed down the stairs to see who could get the swings first I was very agile. But instead of going down the stairs my flip flop got stuck in the crack of the porch and twisted backwards. It hurt so bad I felt…

Originally from Kenya, a country located in the eastern part of Africa; I grew up in a small community called Kitale. Kitale was known to carry people of about 40 tribes and refugees from Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan and other countries that has gone through war, crisis and despair. As the result of this, I was exposed to many different cultures and hatred between individuals. Growing up in a diverse community that has been affected physically and mentally by war; driven off its main course, has…

Thank you for gathering here today to honor the life of my best friend, Grace Wiley. We have been friends for as long as a can remember. She was such a caring, passionate, and loving person.

Although her snakes were deaf, she still talked to them making them feel like they were her best friends. She…

Ooh my gosh! I can’t believe the new I just got. My mom just told me, my older brother, and my older sister that we are moving away. I thought it was the best thing in the world because we were moving to Thomson, Ga. Thomson Ga is the nicest place and has the nicest people. I was so excited to move. One of the best parts was getting to see my other family members all the time, and also meeting ones I haven’t met. Thomson is that sweet place I visit every summer. I can’t explain how overjoyed,…

The demanding beneficiary is the most frustrating type of beneficiary an executor has to handle. A demanding beneficiary will abuse their rights as a beneficiary for the purpose of demanding more property than they are entitled to. As executor, I had to handle a demanding beneficiary which started with a wish list for personal possessions soon after the funeral. In the article The Mistake I Made in the First Few Days, I had mentioned that a beneficiary and others went to the second floor…

It is of human nature to have a tendency to be drawn to others that resemble ourselves. One example would be that people are drawn in circles of others of the same culture. A person of Vietnamese descent, would most likely be close to others that carry the same cultural background a Vietnamese culture. Not only do Vietnamese people enjoy having people that are similar in terms of language wise, but also because they can connect with them on a level that other people don’t share. They have…

My name is Valentine Ann Peters. I have brunette hair and green eyes. Most would recognize me as the tall, skinny, brunette chick who always gave out warm smile, but on the inside struggled with depression and was broken beyond belief. I am 15 years old, or at least I was. And my theory on life is - - um, I guess that is why I am here, in this black party dress and in this white room. I remember going to the jail on March 25th. To most this date wouldn’t matter, but to me, it is the reason that…

The lights flickered and then went off, then the sirens started, it was coming, we knew it wouldn't be the last time a tornado was going to hit our little town again. We knew we were going to hear those sirens again. Everyone was running around like chickens without a head, because this one of the biggest tornadoes we have had. My family and I were getting so worried because my dad was at football practice, across town. We didn’t know what to think, but we were trying to stay positive for my…

Over the course of the last four years, my life has experienced some pretty drastic changes. I know that everyone is bound to make little changes here and there over the course of four years. However, with the exception of a very few things, my life is the polar opposite of the way that it used to be, thanks to my son, Bourbon. I knew things would be different, but I had no idea just how different, and although he was not planned, I truly believe that God’s timing was perfect. Life before…
