The Little Things

Self-esteem seems to be a similar problem in both todays women and women one-hundred years ago. Although, women were not able to do things on their own, and had to depend on others for everything, and women today are able to do those things, self-esteem is still low. Women one-hundred years ago had to depend on their husbands for money and were more than likely stuck at home being house wives and taking care of children, which lowered…

I worked as a lighting assistant / stagehand. Personally, I think most of our live lab went pretty well and smooth, we got everything done and set up even earlier than usual, we were an hour ahead of everything, not only because we were very confortable with our positions and helping each other out but also because it was a single girl act instead of a complete band performing on stage, which does not really give me a complete perspective of how a live lab could actually get in terms of…

Half a dozen eggs waited, untouched. Ally rinsed off another shell. Arthur pricked holes into each end of the sixth with a stubby pencil. He blew into it, aiming the goo at the bowl on the counter. Don’t touch it with your mouth! Ally, that’s the only way it works. You’ll get salmonella. And then, for my next trick, I’ll drop dead on stage! You worry too much, you lawyer. I won’t kiss you, then. She focused on the eggshell, dabbed it dry. Humidity beaded the walls. Mosquito stained…

Ever since she was young Yunoha had always been an incredibly unsocial child. This was due to her extreme shyness, and the ideals that she would never fit in with the other children. Even when others in her class would try and reach out for her (in call of trying to befriend said girl or even striking up polite conversation) their advances would always be inevitably rejected. This unfortunately led for each and every one of her classmates to slowly stop trying. To this day, Yunoha regrets not…

Thankful What are you thankful for in life? I’m thankful for several things in life. Thanksgiving started way before I was born, which started on November of 1621. I am thankful for Michael’s, food, and friends. The first thing I’m thankful for is, Michael’s, an art store right by my house. I’m thankful for Michael’s because, without that store, probably about 98% of my art supplies wouldn’t be in my room. You know, I got to Michael’s so much, the employees remember me and know who I am! One…

are either a good person or a bad person. Most of the time there is no in between. Some people think if you are a bad person you will lie a terrible life and things won’t go well with you. In some cases, that isn’t true. Just because a person is bad or self-centered doesn’t mean their life will fall apart. Jim in “The Story of the Bad Little Boy That lived a Charmed Life” and Editha were very selfish people. Editha and Jim only cared about themselves. Edtiha was a very underhanded woman and…

The Right Thing to Do Today’s generation is made to believe that you have to get an education and then work hard for the rest of your life to be able to achieve success and happiness. In Mark Twain’s “The Story of the Good Little Boy,” Jacob was raised reading books of good little boys and how happy they were. Jacob in turn wanted to become the “good little boy” he always read about but despite his various attempts in doing good, he met his ultimate fate. In Ralph Ellison’s “Battle Royal,” the…

decide to take a little drive out on a dirt road and just cruise for a bit. As I start down this road a thought comes into my head “do you really want to be an accountant for the rest of your life.” I did not know what to think all the way through high school I had planned to become an accountant because it was a pretty easy job that got paid lots of money. The problem was I was taking an accounting class and absolutely hated it. I would go…

An Important event that I think is important to me would be, when I was a sophomore when did my first initiation. Everytime I think about it gives me chills right down my spine, I can remember every detail and every little thing I saw that I feel like no one would understand. The emotions I felt that day would have been something unwilling, mad, ashamed, amazed, and glad. I could say that end of it all was different feeling I never felt before. I would have to say it was one of the best moments…

explain what else happened in my story, I was as I stated before in a conversation with my fellow soldiers. But it's unknown to us at the time thing here was to get much worse, Harry saw the Overseer coming and stopped talking and saluted her. When I turned around I saw old blue eyes herself also I saw that she was coming towards us. This was not the thing that made me nervous, it was the fact that the person who was leading them was the Executioner James Franklin himself. He was leading them…
