The Order

It is a bit surreal to think that I will be a senior at Endicott College in the fall. It feels as if just yesterday that I was 17-years-old, applying to colleges and hoping that once I secured a face-to-face interview, that I would be able to explain why my grades suffered my freshman year of high school. I was hoping that once in an interview that a reputable college would take a chance on me, to take into consideration the bullying I endured, for me to showcase my academic abilities. Endicott…

I was born on February 20th, 1998 in Greenville, South Carolina. My parents were new to parenting because they were twenty years old when I was born. Once I turned six weeks old, my parents went back to work so my great grandmother took care of me. I learned a lot from being at my great grandmother’s house because there were always older people around me. “You and your Papa Pete used to sit on the front porch and watch the cars go by. That’s how you learned your colors. He used to hold you and…

Childhood At the young age of eight I became a very proud big sister to my youngest sibling, Hailey. I didn’t know what I was really getting into, I was to enveloped in becoming a sister. My brother, Mitchell and I are twenty two months apart therefore we grew up close, to close at times. My mother has worked a very hard job her entire life to support our family because my father has a heavy drinking habit which, has worsened over the years. Three years after my sister came into our family is…

My Grandmother’s Voice As a child I was always confused by the characteristics of my grandmother, whom I called Mommom. I was born an analyzer. My determination of whether someone was a friend or foe was always by process of careful analysis. Not that I would ever come to a conclusion of this analysis within a short meeting. My analysis of a person always had much thought and consideration. However, I found it difficult to analysis my Mommom when I was growing up. She was firm, a natural born…

Located in front of the Telfair Museum in Savannah, Georgia is a statue of the Greek architect-sculptor Phidias. The statue of Phidias fits in well with its surroundings. It is centered by four other statues. The surrounding statues are also iconic artists: Michelangelo, Rubens, Rembrandt, and Raphael. The artists’ statues are purposefully placed in front of the Telfair Museum because the Telfair is an art museum. All of the statues are lifted on pedestals. The Phidias statue is about four…

Your sister is relentlessly struggling from your sexual assault. Tears are flowing down her cheek and her mascara is ruining her beautiful complexion. It appears the alcohol she consumed is wearing off. It will be a hassle, if she remembers the the next day of her rape. Even more troubling, if she reports the rape to the police or your parents. -You need to think of another solution to make her more gullible. You release your hold on Katie's arms and sat beside her. You smile pleasantly to…

Siblings can quite often be the longest relationship someone will have in their lifetime. Though many people hold the principle that having one child is the way to succeed in today's society and economy, the benefits to having multiple children is vast and expansive. The benefits outweigh the negatives to having siblings. Just as author Jeffrey Kluger states in his article The New Science of Siblings, from the time that we are born our siblings are our collaborators and co-conspirators, our role…

Question How does distilled water, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2, stabilized, at 3% concentration as a dilute solution), and rubbing alcohol (70% isopropyl alcohol) affect leaves detached from their trees? Hypothesis If I submerge leaves in distilled water, then the leaves will become wet and softer (relative to their original state), because that is what happens to detached leaves after it rains. If I submerge leaves in hydrogen peroxide, then the leaves will become whitened and the distinct…

I strongly believe that it is beneficial for children to have siblings, and that only children have disadvantages in life. Siblings are an important part of a child's helping by improving each others social skills as they grow up. In the future they are people who will always look out for one another, help improve and achieve goals, and work from each others ideas. First of all siblings are a major part in a child's early years as they help stimulate each others minds. To begin with…

The relationship held by siblings is mystifying. It is full of wonder and in which one can fight for hours with them, but when the battle is over five minutes later they rejoice and at times end up doing something ridiculous but joyous together that only they understand. Sadly, at times the relationship can go to the extreme of sibling rivalry. This was the case of Jessica Lun She Evans in “coming home”. She had a fear that any other person might have when they understand there will be a new…
