Things to Come

“As a man thinketh so is he”, a verse from the bible noted by my Grandmother in the interview. Providing the listener with some of my Grandma’s strength as a person and view on her life. Being able to overcome alcoholism is one thing, but becoming a counselor for chemical dependency is another. My Grandma is a very strong lady and has been a great role model for many to look up to, even me ever since I was a little kid. Simply looking at my Grandma’s history: being sober for 51 years, beating…

Well, it all starts with you. Yup, that’s right. All you baby! The only thing we can change is ourselves, not our loved ones, boss’, neighbors or anyone else You can only change yourself. So while the…

most of the time. If no mistakes were made then how would we know when it’s time to change? Exceptional men make mistakes everyday but they are wise enough to know when to listen to others. However, some guys just have to learn the hard way. One thing about exceptional men is that they are always looking to upgrade. If that means changing their circle of friends, family, and acquaintances, then they will do what’s necessary. People who are living for a higher purpose are focused on that…

According to the online dictionary of Merriam Webster, vanity is described as: “The Quality of people who have too much pride in their own appearance, abilities, achievements (…) The Quality of being vain” and “Something (such a belief or a way of behaving) which shows that you have too much pride in yourself, your social status, etc.” In my opinion, these descriptions fit the corrupted Dorian Gray perfectly. Dorian was a pure, innocent boy, until he was corrupted by Lord Henry, which made him…

The bags had already been packed and the taxi was ready to take me to Ricks. By the time I got in the taxi and left, it was nine forty-five, I was late again. “We said we were meeting at nine Leilani!” yelled Casper from the boot of the car where he was loading everyones bags. I went inside Ricks house to see Liv making cd’s on the computer for the trip. Trish and Rick were organising car food and drinks. We had all decided to go on a road trip to celebrate and say goodbye to high school and…

professional or health careers. I achieved many things outside form my education social light, and economic wise but, mostly in health. I have learned multiple things about health like STD’s Drugs/ Alcohol, Risky Behaviors, and your mental health and my whole life that intrigues me to become more and more involved in my community. The community should think and feel more aware of so many health risks that can be harmful to themselves and others. The thing that saddens me the most being that…

My Golf Cart Stories Some and or most of these should be relatable to you, because these are all the good times I had with my golf cart back at my old house when I lived near you. Hope you enjoy the memories! My Brother’s accident It was a cloudy day, and I remember it perfectly. Well… actually I was young so I don’t remember it perfectly, but the image of him getting absolutely demolished is still in my mind clearly and it’s glorious. Now, I remember that it was a few weeks before school,…

I believe in change. As defined by the webster dictionary change is to become different. And although simple and not very original I really love this definition because as you change you’re becoming different and you're becoming unique you’re becoming who you are. Change is what kicks us in the ass and makes us try something new. The four defining changes in my life were moving to New York, traveling to costa rica, switching high schools and now coming to SMU. So moving wasn't my decision as I…

other prisoner had tried a little bit to keep Curzon’s hat, before letting Sal have it. Although I enjoyed this production, those are just the few things that I would change. The Red Hat Crew did an amazing job at turning a book into a play, and for the most part, it was very well done. I liked at least one part of each scene, and I also had at least one thing to change in each scene. I am very glad that I have been able to see this magical production that really made me feel like I was…
