Dad has always been taciturn and would sit on a pavilion bench talking to mom as they watched over Angel. There’s a gentle breeze as Angel and I walked hand-in-hand along the cobblestone path. “How is Teddy?” I decided to ask Angel. Teddy is Angel’s beloved pillow. They’ve been pretty much best friends since the day we got him for her fifth birthday. “He’s fine,” Angel nodded. I, of…

If You See Something, Do Something Many generations view music as a form of entertainment only, so our society tends to overlook the messages behind the music. Some artists use music to promote their beliefs or inform their listeners about overlooked issues. Music spreads awareness about misfortunes in the world, and Martina McBride used her celebrity status to promote her own concerns about child abuse. In 2002, Martina McBride recorded a song “Concrete Angel” to spread awareness about child…

The main tone of the song is sad, but the song also consists of more specific tones. Some of the specific tones include hopeless, brave, peaceful, sorrow, neglect and many others. An example of this would be in the first stanza of the song, “Bearing the burden of a secret storm / Sometimes she wishes she was never born”. The tone of that specific line is hopeless. Another specific tone can be found in the fourth stanza. “Somebody cries in the middle of the night / The neighbors hear but they…

“Mom hurry up I am going to be late!” “We get you here 30 minutes earlier so you can prepare spiritually for the service, I think you will be fine” “Finally here!

failure in life and what did you learn from it? My biggest failure in life was in my first semester at Fanshawe College. During my Strategies for Success course I was to submit an assignment in paper to the professor and did so on time and did very well on it. Later after the semester was done I deleted all work from that class as I needed extra space on my laptop. Of course the teacher lost my assignment and gave me a zero since she had nothing to mark.

something. I bet you could pull them out of your pockets or purses right now. (and, if your key happens to be to a Lamborghini, I would completely love to take it off of your hands) What we don’t all have is the key to success. There is an immense problem in our world today surrounding the belief of the non-existent, one and…

What would you do in this situation? Well, since you are here, I’m guessing you are in this situation. If you follow these directions, you will not only survive, but also thrive.
