The Hardest Thing

Over the years, a lot things have changed in our lives. According to Webster’s Dictionary, changed is defined as, “to undergo transformation, transition, or substitution” (“Changed”) Most of us experience different changes in our life, but they 're few people whose life’s aren’t changed because they don’t want it to. One way to explain changed, is my life. I had always been known as the “quiet girl” in high school. For that reason, being is because I always hid myself. I have always been afraid…

As a young person, I have never really dealt with anything regarding with health, such as health insurance, co-pays, or anything else regarding that manner. My parents are the ones who usually deal with those things, though I must say it is very important to know how it works. This came to mind when I read the article “Bitter Pill” by Steven Brill. This article talks about why bills are so high when it comes to health. It show the reality of how these hospitals work. Something that is not…

Emotions are what gives your life color. Memories are what give you feelings. Although being able to have feelings might make you enjoy life more, it can also make things really hard on yourself. In The Giver, Jonas doesn’t start to feel anything until he starts to receive memories from the current Receiver. In this essay I get to talk about three themes, which are Individuality, Memories, and Emotions. I think that these are the most important themes of this story and are the main reasons…

book, but naturally struggles to cope with it at times. Holden lost his brother Allie to leukemia and never really seems on to move on with it. Throughout the book, he gets stuck thinking about Allie, and when his sister Phoebe asks him what's one thing he likes a lot he answers Allie, and he truly loved him. Holden reacts to his death like any other would react to the loss of something or someone we love; Glorifying instead of moving on. Holden struggles moving on, harming himself and…

Throughout my life I have had to deal with some pretty scary things. As a child, and even now, these things take a huge toll on how I deal with other things. I have always been an anxious person and I can definitely say that traumatic experiences (like the one I am writing about) have changed my mindset and how I live my daily life. The day started of fairly normal. My friend had just got her license and she offered to take me to Washington, Missouri to go shopping and just have a fun day…

something. Other than reason, is sense perception the first and not teachable thing we learn when we are small. With reason we have to learn it first. So the difference between them is that a reason has to rely on something, so it requires a justification, while sense perception doesn’t need any justification. Reason isn’t always going to explain the thing that go on in sense perception. Like the mysterious, unexplainable things that we hear daily – a blind men is an artist, a deaf person can…

abusiveness in him. In a way it was a struggling effort to play two different rolls and with one being pervasive to the other is not fun. I can remember moments when growing up I had to give a show and hope no one doesn’t find out about me. The thing with my classes and growing up, a lot of students were Mexican American as well. You could say a lot of the populations of students of the schools I went too were Latinos. The problem wasn’t that but the fact that sometimes our culture carries…

Perhaps the thing that surprised me most at the end, was how little I missed social media, at least once the first few days were out of the way. I expected to have a large void left by social media, but what I didn’t expect was that it would be so easy to fill this time with more productive activities (at least in my own judgment). I played piano more, I learned some new tricks on my skateboard, and I got better at sketching, but most important of all, I learned that there are many, often better…

he should have trusted his gut. However, that seldom make for a good story, does it? So, our temporary thief makes his way to the location his wife gave him.
