Drinking was always a part of my life until one night that changed everything. It was a long night that into the next day. I started drinking when I was 14 and it steadily escalated into something out of control. In school I never really fit and was usually teased for different reasons. This eventually led to me becoming depressed. I don’t remember why I decided to try alcohol just that in the moments when I would drink I felt better about life. This steadily became more as getting a hold…

We all currently came through the door to school five minutes ago. Everybody in the band was high-fiving and talking to each other. All of a sudden, I remembered what day it was. It was Chicago day, and on this day, each person in the symphonic band and 8th grade goes on a trip to Chicago to have quite a bunch of entertainment. As we all boarded the bus, I kept thinking about what it was going to be over there compared to Alpena and I couldn’t wait to start our trip there. I mostly slept and…

The energy in Puri's air was very holy, and there I was given the proof of positive thinking that can be beneficial only when doubt doesn't exist and the moment is lived in an innocent state of mind, while wishing truly for the best for others without any return expectations. In India, I was surrounded by so much poverty, at this point it seems appropriate to mention that even though I was better off than the local multitude, I traveled for fourteen months outside my native country, Italy, with…

My watch read 3:15 a.m as I walked into a room full of tired parents and anxious students! As I looked around I wasn’t sure what surprised me more, the fact that I was on time or that I didn’t have the largest suitcase! Krista and I dragged our luggage around the gym looking for our red Grosse Ile bags filled with shirts and sweatshirts. After a good five minutes, we found our bags and joined Mara and Elle in the center of the gym. We got so caught up in conversation, that we barely even…

Why Positive Thinking Did Not Work for Me Many people believe positive thinking will lead a person to a perfect life; however, it is not completely true as it has its pros and cons. The reason why is because people request for things that they really want without really putting much effort into it and expect everything to fall into place. Today, society has gotten to the point where they make demands to God, and keep waiting to attain the stuff they asked or prayed for. For example, last year…
