What You're Doing

school. As I grew older, I often wondered what happened to the young girl that was so full of dreams and intentions. I thought I could change the world. I did very well in my professional life at around 28 years old and was financially responsible. I was proud of myself and felt as if I accomplished alot at a very young age. I wondered if I needed to further my education afterall. Life was pretty good and if you 're doing financially well, then what would be the purpose of going back to…

I wrestle. I am also a girl. I’ve never been one to brag much, but in this particular case, I am very proud of my accomplishments. I almost always tell people about them. I love the sport of wrestling, and I spend every day doing it. It has given me quite a few characteristics that make me unique and that definitely set me apart from others; these include perseverance, boldness, and humbleness. These traits are very good to know when dealing with my everyday life. Perseverance is one of the…

"Adina, you are only asking me to come with you out of sympathy", but in that moment I realized my true motivations, and she was wrong. It was my freshman year and I had all the worries and uncertainties of most new students in a new school: doing well in my classes, making friends, finding my place in my grade and in my school. There happen to be many restaurants right down the street, and after spring break freshmen are allowed to leave the building to get lunch. Everyone, including myself,…

confidence to finally get out of my comfort zone and started doing what regular kids do, which seemed impossible the year before. For such a young person, I sure did realize how mature I was. I learned the habit of not complaining about what is wrong and instead getting up to actually fix it. Having experienced this, I learned that my passion was in making a difference in other people's’ lives. I know I am driven to spend the rest of my life doing it. I want my career involving connecting with…

he writes, “Once her daughters gave her birthday cards of insufficient quality. Chua rejected them and demanded new cards”(58). Brooke includes this to open the eyes of the viewer, and see how a woman can be so hard on her kids even though they are doing something nice for their own mother. By using this approach, he has enabled us to turn against her, and draw our attention to her astringent parenting…

mountain of success? It’s infinite. You can climb as long as you like. Knowing myself makes college so much easier. I know numerous students who are still trying to find themselves and figure out what they want to do with their lives. I have a plan, I know what I am doing everyday, when I am doing it, how I am doing it, and I know my limits. I will be successful. I will do great things. I will never give up, and I will always try my…

siblings if they were the oldest. Learning how to cook, clean, take care of the household while the parents worked, and still had to care for themselves also. Growing up too fast can go hand to hand with getting someone pregnant and impregnating someone, doing grown activities that they should not even be thinking of. Either living with their partners, partying, drinking, or smoking weed are piling in on today’s minority. Little pageant girls to the ages of three through eight are wearing caked…

irony is shown in two literary texts, a short story titled “Jacob's Chicken," by Milos Macourek and a poem titled “Porphyria’s Lover," by Robert Browning. Irony is an expression that is used to insinuate sarcasm; it typically signifies the opposite of what is said. In other words, irony is seen as appearance versus reality. The short story “Jacob’s Chicken” is about a passionate child who draws a unique chicken that others do not initially appreciate due to its unusual appearance. Specifically,…

In what follows, I will analyze Hitchcock's film Rear Window. It is my thesis that the film clearly shows that scopophilia leads to living a different kind of life. When being intrigued by someone else’s life, it is pretty easy to want to know answers. To defend this thesis, the essay will show specific scenes from the film to demonstrate how easy it is to be interested in someone else’s life. In the beginning, we figure out Jeff had broken his leg and is casted all the way up to his waist, and…

language used. It is very casual and simple with no distinct accent. “Not knowing how to drive,” is the most important line of the piece since it describes how he is driving yet does not know what he is doing exactly. This represents how people move through life without knowing exactly what they are doing. They do not always have a plan or know where they are heading but they keep going into the unknown, driving without knowing how to drive. There are no set rules for how to live so no one…
