Things Hoped For

the height of this shared experience with the Blaine, there is not much left to hold their relationship together. The old restlessness she felt with Curt returns, and with it a new longing for the familiarity of home. She cannot put into words the thing that is driving her back to Nigeria, but it is a feeling she cannot shake. It could be that she wants to return to her own people, or maybe it is the desire to reunite with her long-lost first love Obinze. It is hard to tell her reasoning, but…

different places, on fire, and if I got shot I’d have a rainbow as a trail. So yeah, I’m super gay. But, figuring out I was gay was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. I mean I didn’t even know the proper name for it when I was younger. I’m from a super selectively religious household, and being gay just happened to be one of those things they selected to hate. Now you have a little background information, so let me dive in. I don’t really know when it started, but I have some…

My Writing Process: When I received the prompt for our first essay I glanced at it, and tried to understand the main point, the thing we were being asked to write about. As you many others writing does not come naturally to me, so I knew that I would have to have read the prompt several times before I even considered beginning on the rough draft for my first essay. After reading the prompt in class I started to highlight phrases, questions, and anything that stood out to me. Mean while all these…

and then gives plenty of bible verses and explanation to help with understanding what each one means. I really believe that this was a useful tool and was very impressed by how much I actually enjoyed the results. I learned a lot of surprising things from taking this assessment such as that my top spiritual…

young, it never crosses your mind that you’re going to lose a lot of things in life: friends, pets, family members, or even parents. Although this seems like, and is, a sad and serious topic, I’ve learned to make the most of the loss in life. My parents were a lot older than most parents having a child when they had me. My mom always told me I was a “surprise” and I always got offended because it sounded like she meant it as a bad thing. They weren’t really prepared at all to have another kid,…

Aristotle, a convincing Greek academic, who was known for his carious identity. Being realist and expert, Aristotle had various supporters. He Thought in a school, while tending to and analyzing ideas.The word satisfaction in the Ethics is a clarification of the Greek expression eudaimonia, which passes on characters of achievement and satisfaction. For Aristotle, this satisfaction is our most noteworthy objective. By the by, Aristotle does not express that we ought to go for happiness, yet…

the handle of the door and part of the seat. My heart was racing and my head started to hurt from the spinning. It happened in mere seconds but it felt so much longer. The car skid across the pavement and then stopped as we hit the fence, the one thing that kept us from flying off the edge. Emotions were flaring and my dad was trying to calm my mom. My brother was crying and my cousin was scared to death, but.....I was fine. I didn 't know why, but.....I was just fine. The only fear that I felt…

louder that speaks about your bank account. Most people buy things as just something to do here in America. We are a particularly wasteful society. There is an uneven distribution of wealth and the poor can live right in the same neighborhood as the ultra rich. Most of the people here plan their lives around what will make them successful. They use the word success as a way of saying “well off enough to buy everything I want”. When the thing that will make you happy is what you should be doing…

know why because I never actually read them. Instead, I would always look at the pictures in the books and tell my parents what the book was about based on what the pictures it showed. I’d tell them I know what it’s about because I read it, but, the thing is, I never read any of it. I only lied because that was the only way for them to get me more books. When I was young, whenever I looked at a book, I only saw lines with random letters. Every book I had would translate into saying, “BLAH BLAH…

Bangladesh legal age to work is 14 years, he also saw the 14 year boys working hard, and they also don’t get paid that much” (Timmerman, 2008). The thing is to think about how bad conditions probably when those 14 year boys instead of going to sch, getting educated, playing with their friends, they are supporting their whole family (Timmerman,2008). Other thing is to think about that is mentioned in this book how are there mothers feel about their 14-year-old son is working hard and providing a…
