repay his sins as an allegory for Penance. Hopeful remembers his Penance, saying “Yes, and fled from, not only my Sins, but sinful company, too… as Praying, Reading, weeping for Sin, speaking Truth to my neighbors, etc… but at last my Trouble came tumbling over me again” (157).

“Goal!” Sports have existed for centuries and people have always associated them with violence and for ways to have fun. While these are both true, sports have also taught me lessons that I can apply towards my own life. Throughout my entire athletic career, I have been involved in Cheerleading and Volleyball.

Our mastermind-like scheme had been established not five minutes before; I would get off at Donnie’s bus stop, smoke an unknown amount of synthetic cannabis, and then proceed to my house where I would ride out the high. Donnie had the synthetic cannabis, the spice. Neither of us deemed the plan as full…

I was formally diagnosed last year with PTSD, Social anxiety, Generalized anxiety disorder, Panic disorder, a sprinkle of OCD, and severe depression.
