Things Hoped For

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…

Hope is a mentality that every human being is capable of, whether they know it or not. Even though at times it may seem as if hope is nowhere to be found, it is still there lurking in the distance. In her poem “Hope” is the thing with feathers, Emily Dickinson explores this exact concept. Using a multitude of literary and poetic devices, Dickinson establishes the optimistic idea of hope existing as an unstoppable unit throughout the universe that is accessible to anyone and everyone. One of…

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…

positive for both the workers and the employers. It is positive for the workers because they can now things faster and they can work faster too, because all their problems are getting solved as soon as possible. This is a good thing for the employers too, because now the whole company is on the same topic and if there is a problem it can be solved right away. However this can be a negative thing for workers. They may think it’s too large of a step and that may create shyness where no one wants…

One thing I am sure of is that my way of deciding to be nonreligious was a much different process than others. My father went to private, religious, boarding schools his whole life. As well as attending church regularly and multiple times week. If I ever had…

After I started reading The First Time Manager, I became sure that I would not make a good manager. I felt this way because, as I discovered managers have to be able to lead. I tend to sit back and let someone else have control when it comes to things such as group projects. I feel this is because I am not usually comfortable being in charge of other people, because I do not want to be perceived as bossy. I tend to want everyone to be happy and to avoid conflict unless absolutely necessary.…

Moving to Texas junior year was one of the hardest things I have ever taken part in. For the longest time, I never had a good thing to say about it. Texas was the last place I wanted to be at that point in my life. Thank you for making me feel more at ease and answering any questions I might have had. Thank you for telling me that I was the only junior in that class when in reality I wasn’t. Danielle Hansford happened to be the only other junior in that classroom full of disgusting freshman.…

A turning point come can at any time. It can determine which road you decide to travel down in your life, the things you accomplish, and the dreams that are reached. You can be faced with a predicament, but you choose how to react. You can either roll with the punches, or decide to get hit. Life is not an easy walk through the park. There will come times when you have to stand up and fight, or times when you should just sit down and let life happen. In my life there have not been a lot of…
