question the word life. I question my past journey ups and downs and if everything happens for a reason. I also look at judgement in the world today. People judge others for being evil or bad and treat these individuals as if they have always been this way. As I look at my 20-year-old son today, I think to myself where did I go wrong. It takes me back to the day he was born and what a beautiful baby he was. He was a happy baby and I exposed him to love that I never received as a child. That was…

I had no motivation to do anything. I started falling way behind on my school work because I could never convince myself to get out of bed. My family had to put him down the week of finals, so I missed almost all of my finals in my classes, which made my grades suffer even more. Luckily, most of my teachers were really understanding and let me take incompletes in the courses so I was able to complete them after the semester…

Alexandra, Marissa, Julianna and Cassandra were all really great friends that do everything together.

my time to give back to my community that I live in. In Mt. Zion Illinois, lays an assisted living facility known as the “Glenwood.” When I went into their office to ask them if it was permissible for me to do volunteer work, they made me aware that this is an organization is a for profit organization. That means all the employees are getting paid to do all of the work that they do, and the price to live here is going to be more expensive for the residents due to having staff members available…

For about the past week now, former NBA star Lamar Odom has been in the news. Odom was hospitalized after being found unconscious in what was said to be a brothel. For those of you out there who are confused on what a brothel is like I was, it’s simply a house where men can visit prostitutes.

Both characters are centered on obtaining Daisy’s love who is currently Tom Buchanan’s wife…
