Wake Up

“ Hannah wake up, wake up.” My mom said as she was shaking the life out of me. “What? Why did you wake me up?” I asked as I was yawning. “The airplane is landing put your seat up,” she told me.

There was also a man tied on a surgical bed, every time I was punched his scars would heal, and his anguish slowly…

While the songs are about two different types of conflicts in an individual’s life, “Wake Up Time” and “2!3!” both describe personal struggles an individual would feel after disregarding reality and having to accept their situation. “Wake Up Time” portrays the struggle whilst realizing mistakes…

Wake up everybody by teddy Pendergrass is an inspiring art to me because of what the songs message is. This song is morally true because it illustrates how it takes more than one person to change and make the world a better place. With Hatred, poverty and war so easily seen in the world the approach on how we lived in the past and present needs to change in order to see progress. Although there’s a lot of people who play a big role in the betterment of the world and many organizations who…

The Freshman Wakeup Call A great deal led up to me graduating in late spring of 2016, which will from now on be known as one of the greatest accomplishments in my life. While in high school my mother always told me that dedication was the key to success. She explained to me that if I worked hard enough for the next three years my senior year would be nothing but smooth sailing.

The process starts in Middle School, gets more defined in High School before coming to a crescendo in college. (Stanley Fish; “The value of education made literal”, Rebeckah Nathan “Lessons from my freshman year”, Theodore Sizer “What High School is”. Our very identities hang in the…
