words they said to me. "Temmy, you are no good." "You will just humiliate yourself in front of the judges." You are not pretty and there are lots of people that are prettier than you who are also auditioning." All these words start pouring through my brain and made me freeze onstage.

My mum tells me these all the time: "those…

Holden's story resonates with the reader and makes he or she feel that they are not alone. Holden…

We must continually try to align the two so that those around us can easily see who we are. The juxtaposition in my life can be seen through the definitiveness of a tree and the malleability of a shadow, but the significance is the consistency I attempt to show between the two. Similar to a tree, character is rooted into the ground and grows naturally in the process of life.

“If Your Parents Are Still Paying Your Bills, You 're not alone” May 21, 2015 The piece that I’ve deicide to write about is on how students like me are still having to ask their parents for money to make ends meet. The reason why I chose this article is because I think it hits home for a lot of us. As a college student, life can be never ending rollercoaster.
