    this way. You feel like it’s your fault. People judge appearances, it happens… but not like this. Not like this at all, all of who you are should not be judged by the first glance or second. We are not equal. We are far from it. We come into this world all the same, and leave from the same door. Mirrors will show each one of our reflections, mirrors show how diverse we are. Mirrors don’t show how people are treated. People should be treated how mirrors reflect, exactly as we are. Nothing more,…

    should take care of our own before helping others. “We are not responsible for the rest of humanity” (539). It might sound greedy in a way, but sometime we have to do certain things and think for ourselves sometimes. There are many resources in the world that I believe can be useful and helpful in theses situations. I kind of disagree to because we should all help each other no matter what. Because if on some point we have enough for our own we should help others without thinking twice because…

    me out of that dark hole, but he has lead me down a path since then that I would never have imagined. Having lived a life of hope for many years, I always knew I could do anything I put my mind too. Little did I know, that one person would enter my world and literally drag me down into anger, fear, and self-loathing. I do not want this to be a bashing session on my ex-husband Jeff,…

    “Good luck out there,” said Tom, or at least I suppose that was his name. He was my guide, leading me to the most terrifying and exhilarating moment of my lifetime…. No one in the world has my name. It is one of a kind, and that is just one aspect that defines my individuality, that is why not many people forget about me. There are multiple unique adjectives that depict me from others, such as education. It is a huge contributor to the many reasons that I am who I am, it is what drives me…

    “Heros represent the best of ourselves.” Being a hero takes selflessness and couragousness, but heroism is not getting in the way of others hopes and dreams. Heros put others before themselves. For example, the poem “Frederick Douglass” states, “...with the lives grown out of his life, the lives fleshing his dream of beautiful, meaningful thing,” which proves that Douglass is selfless. Also, in the article “Love Triumphs”, Demonte Love rescues his family from Hurricane Katrina. “...6 year old…

    Heroes are special, in the way that they can help others while putting away their own needs.

Hinton’s book, The Outsiders, are the teenagers Johnny, Sherri, and Ponyboy. Johnny can be defined as a hero in the book, because of what he does for other people. Johnny proved that he could be a hero, when he dashed in with Ponyboy in the…

    Once upon a time the Red Baron was my greatest enemy. Snoopy, my wingman sat atop his war bird of a three foot dog house and together he and I could accomplish anything we put our minds too. Where a simple “theres a snake in my boot” or a “to infinity and beyond” could not help but produce an innocent smile or giggle. Anything our imaginations could think of could be assembled with the sea of lego bricks found scattered across my own childhood room. A time full of breathtaking innocence that…

    Perfect American Body

    I remember growing up and having this set standard of what my body was supposed to look like, what clothes I would wear, and what makeup (or lack of) I had caked on my face. Each country has a specific type of woman or "Barbie" that little girls desire to become, that men adore, and that other woman envy. However,I've come to realize that what is "beautiful" in one country is not necessarily in another. America and Japan are two excellent example of this. Ranging from the expected body types,…
