self-confidence. I didn’t grow up with a father figure, but my mom made up for it by giving me enough love and devotion for two parents. Although I really appreciate it now, I used to resent my father for leaving me with one less person to go to when I thought there was a monster under my bed. I have since realized that my desire to have approval from my peers stemmed from the lack of approval that I experienced from my father. As I coped with the absence of a father figure in my life, I began…

know that she had turned on. I thought she was going to start off crying or something but I was wrong. It took her a minute to start crying. I was in my parents room with my mom and my siblings when the baby started crying and yelling. I kept telling myself not to freak out and to just go through the steps. Right when I didn’t want to panic I…

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to never be able to feel sick or running for miles without feeling tired? Imagine if you can start your car with just a thought or maybe speak to your lover telepathically? There are scientist who associate themselves with this movement or culture called transhumanism. But what does it mean to be human? Well, we all know a human would feel extremely exhausted after a marathon run and we know what a full bladder feels like after drinking a large glass…

create the monster, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I didn’t know what horrible things he would do to the ones I loved. This isn’t what I wanted. I thought I was making something beautiful that everyone would love. I’m sorry, I should have listened to you. From the start, you knew what I was doing was wrong and unnatural, I thought I could play god. You knew that…

have enough time to do. That school year was one of the hardest for me. I was able to stay on track and handle my workload by writing down everything I had to do. To-do lists were very helpful for me and I found my tasks to be more manageable than I thought. The next year, I struggled in my Honors Precalculus class. It was very difficult for me to adjust to my teacher’s ways and I felt very overwhelmed at that time. He gave plenty of assignments…

where they plan on going the following year, and what exactly they want to do. Just like all the others, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted, too. My family and I thought it through exhaustively, or so I thought. I visited several different campuses in a few different states. I had studied the extent of many different majors, I considered many backup options, and I questioned what I thought I would enjoy, love or hate. In May of 2013 I felt like I knew all the answers – that being…

society’s requirement that women should be submissive to men. When thinking of the outcomes of her husband’s death, she lets herself become completely infatuated with the idea of being a widow. Other than her first initial attempt to stop these thoughts, Louise shows no resistance to being happy with the years she will now spend alone. In fact, “she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome” (Chopin, paragraph 13). This “weak will” and lack of ability to restrain herself from becoming…

At least that was the outwards appearance. On the inside I started noticing things about her. How could I not I was with her the entire day sometimes even stood watch outside her bedroom. She wasn’t exactly what I had initially thought. She was smart and knew how to treat people to get what she needed, maybe even manipulative of I was honest. But the most important thing that I came to realize was that she had to be that way, it was the only way she would survive. I could tell under…

When it comes to comparing people it is a very difficult thing to do. This is because everybody is different, but somehow people always see flaws in others’ personality and way of living. This causes them to judge people as inferior. One of the greatest misconceptions is that extroverts are superior to introverts, giving people the misunderstanding that it is better to be social, outgoing, confident, and inclined to lead; this causes introverts, who do not possess these attributes to be…

Experiment I, in which the participants were waiting for reward objects. The only difference came after the child had answered the usual three comprehension questions correctly and the experimenter instructed the participants to think sad thoughts or fun and happy thoughts as a form of distraction (Mischel et al.,…
