What Happened

Being that I never liked to work in groups, because I feel that I’m very independent. My past group projects didn’t go so well because it’s always that one that don’t want to work. There were lots of problems that happened within our team because of lack of communication. I wasn’t sure what I can do about it, the understanding and planning just wasn’t there, especially about the media log task. We all seemed a little overwhelmed by this assignment and it made it very hard to complete. I became…

Dark images remain etched in my mind. During the time I entered my teen years something happened to alter my life. The memory echoing sounds heard at the beginning of that faithful night. A symphony of snaps and the soft crackling sounding in chorus effectively expressing a non-threatening occurrence taking place. The smoke was intoxicating, consequently, lulling us to sleep. Gently, I would wake unable to move; unsuspecting to me, my body being consumed with fumes. I could hear a still slight…

The great traumatic event has negative effects towards the family's wellbeing. The impact was greatly dealt with the lady of the Brennan family. Tom's mother has not been able to forget the accident and move on. It is impossible to change what has already happened, therefore the individual must move on in order to achieve happiness. You are unknown to the future, although the past can be just as bewildering. Kyle is often seen as a person who gazes into the future and does not agonise the past.…

captured in the flow of thoughts about my American Studies class, which I enrolled last semester, I realized that there is no need to look further to see how much I gained from this class. What I obtained was not merely the knowledge and skill the instructor conveyed, but also the alternative way of viewing what happened around me. Despite, beyond my expectation, being one of the most challenging classes I have…

Plot Twist I really wanted to go to Baba and tell him that we had to leave Kabul. Of course it was that or Hassan and Ali leaving Kabul. But I had to do what I had to do, we could not be here together, it was not right. It had to be the perfect time, also when Ali and Hassan were gone. So that day I had waited till they had to go to get food from the market. Than that was the moment I had done something I never had done before, I lied and black mailed my brother ,the person that fed from…

that it was bad news or my mom wouldn’t pull me out of class. My stomach was in my throat. Each step I take my heart races faster. I got to the office and my mom said, “Let’s take a walk.” “Okay,” I said. “What happened?” “I resigned today.” I was breathless. I couldn’t form words for what I was feeling. It was like my whole world had taken a sharp right turn and fell off a…

It had finally come. The letter that determined whether or not I could make it in this world, if dancing was what I was born to do or just some extra curricular. It was the letter from Juilliard Dance, one of the best dance schools in america, and I couldn't bring myself to open it. What if I didn’t get in, then what would I do. I cant go to any other schools, I’m destined for this specific one. I finally built up all my confidence to open the letter and read it, skimming over all the minor…

It was a shock to me, but I didn’t let that situation overwhelm me. I ran to call the maintenance man to report the problem. I was a bit annoyed about what happened to me, it was my bad luck that was following me that day. After lunch the time for the departmental “cook” came quickly. It was almost as if “Father Time” sped it up for the cook to happen quickly. Everyone was outside and contributing to getting…

details that might have taken place. A person cannot simply recall every small detail that already happened because you could combine memories together. When I recall a memory and I am not sure what exactly happened, I tend to ask someone who was there with me. For example, if my sister was there I would ask her what happened that day and she might have a different response. Both of us would say what we remembered and if the stories are different we would fill in the gaps. In my opinion, it is…

were driving down the road, heading back to his house to bring him home. We were driving on a county road, listening to music, with the cruise control on. I reached back to grab my cd case (At the time I told my parents I swerved to miss a rabbit). What a mistake that was. When I turned around again, my friend said watch out you’re going to hit the mailbox. Of course being 17 and in a suv, I over corrected. Next thing I knew I was feeling like someone was hugging me, protecting…
