Sophomore's dream

In our lives, there are many instances in which we know our lives may change. However, sometimes we don’t necessarily realize that this change has occurred. This change can be obvious or it can be subtle. It can be as obvious as moving three states away from home, or as subtle as discovering a new favorite song. No matter how great or small, this change will happen in every person’s life at some point. For myself it was a series of events, centered around one particular concept. An event that…

As I can remember, I had always hated English Arts when I was younger. I had despised the classes, despite my natural talent for spelling and interpreting rules of the language. I had never enjoyed them perhaps of the the meticulous grammar rules or the unsurmountable amount of exceptions to every rule. This all changed however, during my sophomore year of high school. I had low expectations of myself for another literature class, given that I had failed semester one of the previous class during…

Senior Scholarship essay: Describe the greatest challenge you have had to face or expect to face in the future. I position myself on the blocks, my feet in place, hands ready and holding on to all the potential energy I could. *Pow* the gun sounds and we are off. My last race on the track team for the 300 meter at Regionals competition. I had won first place at Districts and knew I had those in my district beat, but I had heard the other districts offered far more competitive runners. As I…

With my senior year coming to an end, I like to reminisce about all the wonderful times I have had. Earlier in the year, I wrote my “dragon” essay. Explaining my deep and personal years for my senior year. My two biggest dragons coming into my senior year were not being accepted into a 4 year university and not winning a state championship in basketball. Even though I did not win a state championship, I overcame both of these fears. My fear of not being accepted into a 4 year university quickly…

Forrester. Knowing that the necklace was all paid off, she saw no harm in telling Mrs. Forrester what had happened. With much surprise, Mrs. Forrester laughed and said that her necklace was only costume jewelry. This means that Mathilde gave up everything she had in order to pay off something that never existed. It was an allusion just like the entire life would be. The author themes this story very well, he told about a woman who wanted what she could never have, never realizing that what she…

When it comes to dream interpretation the first to come to mind is usually the well-known Mr. Sigmund Freud. Freud created that stepping stone regarding the hidden meaning of dreams. A supporter of his for some time, Carl Jung used the fundamentals presented by Freud to create his own psychological theory of the unconscious. He used the same structured concept of Freud’s unconscious principle but named it the personal unconscious. One of his novel ideas however, was the collective unconscious…

First, Santiago’s fear of failing to achieve his dream in the future causes him to be more reluctant in proceeding with his journey. During the journey Santiago’s heart “began to speak of fear. It told him stories it had heard from the Soul of the World, stories of men who sought to find their treasure and never succeeded. Sometimes it frightened the boy with the idea that he might not find his treasure” (Coelho 144). The fear of not being successful in a journey, backed up by stories of…

(502). Throughout Wuthnow?s essay, he states that Americans are complaining about working too much and not having enough time to relax; for those reasons, I believe that spare time is a crucial part of my American Dream. Most people who spend a majority of their day working are not truly happy; they wish they had just a little more time to relax and be with their spouses and children. It seems as if now more than ever we have less time to relax: ?Despite the fact that leisure time is less…

wearing shirts and sweaters from the bookstore. It was dark outside even though the sun should have been out since I was going to class and doing things that I would normally always do during the day. There were lots of different characters in my dream, most of them were in my class. I do not remember what subject the class was about but I remember it was taking place in an auditorium type of room. My classmates in my all sounded similarly and their faces where unrecognizable, I could not…

Why Do We Dream? Every night, dreams flow through the human mind. Dreams of fast paced adventure, dreams of vivid fantasies, and even dreams of a dark, creepy fears. Scientists yearn to know more about this phenomenon, something that humans have been doing since their very existence.
