Last April, I went abroad in order to see the Beyoncé new concert in Paris; what I didn´t know is that I was about to experience the most stressful journey in my whole life. When the tickets came out on sale, five minutes where enough for the on-line page to sell them out completely worldwide, so I thought I wasn’t going to be able to see the show. Desperately I entered to a ticket re-selling site on the web and I bought two tickets for a very exorbitant price (four times the value of the official page price). Two months passed and I didn´t get the tickets that the web page was supposed to mail me. I spent at least a week trying to call the manager of the page but it was quite difficult, but a week before the date I planned to travel, they told me that they were going to deliver the tickets at the entrance of the concert. A week after that we went on a plane to Madrid and the stopover was so long that we had to spend the night over at the airport; I remember I slept on the ground because I was terribly exhausted. The next day, as soon as we got to Paris we went to the stadium where the concert was on, the next day. We went to the stadium´s ticket-office and told them our little inconvenient and the lady told us that the specific web page we used for buying the tickets was a scam, and that she wasn´t sure that they will appear the next day to deliver the tickets. The next day, we went to the stadium at 5 o´clock in the morning to make the line for the standing position at the concert, 200 people where there a week before us so they could be up front, we were totally resigned. But then somebody told us that if we had to pick up tickets we had a different entrance, so we made a new line at another gate in which we were first. Five hours late we found out that the concert organizers had a strike a few days before and there were a lot of tickets that weren´t delivered so they told us that in order to make up for that, we were going to enter before

    I had enough money saved up to pay for a lawyer to fight and win against those greedy bastards trying to stop my father’s disability and had even won some compensation for them causing me pain and suffering and for my attorney’s fees. I took that check and gave it directly to the hospital. My father was still in bad shape, and it was going to be a long hard journey, but on the mend. The people at the hospital were kind enough to transport him to my graduation at no cost. I knew once I start working at the Trystan’s Corporation, I would be able to pay for his care. Once again, just as everything was looking to go my way, it had changed once again.…

    We see animals every day. They are our pets, companions, and, to some, family. They are also our dinner, new jacket or bag, and the pain behind our household products. So when does it qualify as cruel, or even inhumane? What is animal cruelty? According to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) “Intentional cruelty, or abuse, is knowingly depriving an animal of food, water, socialization, or veterinary care. Maliciously torturing, maiming, or killing an animal.” Three major examples of animal cruelty today are found in the food industry, shelters, and testing facilities.…

    Imagine constantly being asked “Why can’t you just pull yourself together?” Being told “You have nothing to be depressed about, you have so much going for you!”, “But you don’t SEEM depressed, you were just laughing an hour ago!” For those struggling with many of life’s abundant obstacles, suicide seems like the ideal compromise for the self-destruction and agony to end. I believe that suicide is not the answer because I’ve overcome it myself. I’ve had to learn in the most difficult of ways that suicide is exceedingly traumatic for the friends and family members. 90 percent of people who have taken their own life have a diagnosable mental disorder. There are countless alternatives for people who struggle with these disorders, long before suicide is even being contemplated.…

Like deflated air in a defeated balloon it was screaming and I couldn't let you hear so I shut the door, knowing damn well you didn't have a key but can you call me?…

    * #5 Adrenaline Rush: As a law enforcement officer you’ll probably saves someone’s life every day you come to work. An officer may have to make a life or death discussion in a split second. They could also save someone from potential harm when they issue traffic tickets or responding to domestic violence calls. This would be an extreme rush for me since officers are in a high risk job at all times. I understand the risk and wiliness to put myself out there for others and having only a spilt second to react. This is very similar to my position as quarterback on the football field, which I have enjoyed since I younger, and have handled it well. In this position you are a leader and a role model for community. Which I believe will transition over to me becoming an officer.…

    The United States has a history of discrimination and that has greatly influenced many parts of our country. Even after the Civil War racial inequality was still a way especially in the confederate South for a hundred years. Discrimination greatly affected minorities in all aspects of their life. A minority was any person who was not a white male. It mainly affected their education and job opportunities and say they had in the government. However in 1964, the United States passed civil rights laws. It was called the Civil Rights Act. The act banned discrimination based on a person's color, sex, national origin, and race. It mainly protected the rights of African Americans and other minorities. The Civil Rights Act said minorities have the right to vote, use hotels, restaurants, movies, parks, and any other public place. The law also said that public schools had to be desegregated. Also funds from programs the promoted segregation were taken away. The act also included the prohibition of job discrimination and the creation of the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission. The equal employments opportunities commission was a great step in ending discrimination. What it did were ban employers from discriminating against someone for any reason. Even though the Civil Rights Act was put into place a problem still remained. This problem was minorities lacked skill and proper education to do jobs which would put them on the same playing field as whites. So President Kennedy came up with Affirmative Action.…

    There is no universally accepted definition of art. Although commonly used to describe something of beauty, or a skill which produces an aesthetic result, there is no clear line in principle between (say) a unique piece of handmade sculpture, and a mass-produced but visually attractive item. We might say that art requires thought - some kind of creative impulse - but this raises more questions: for example, how much thought is required? If someone flings paint at a canvas, hoping by this action to create a work of art, does the result automatically constitute art?…

    Sometimes being different is not a bad thing. From a very young age I was labeled “different” I started reading before the start of kindergarten, I would rather read then play outside and I actually liked homework. I did not mind being “different”. I never thought being smart would be such a bad thing. In school I always tested high I was above average they said, so in fifth grade they placed me in T.A.G., the Talented and Gifted program. What should have been such a great thing in my life turned out to be a bad experience, just because I did not want to be different for the first time in my life.…

    Being born in a very small and boring city, Angel Quiles didn’t think it was really all that fun. There were times that he just stayed home all day doing nothing but watch television, play video games, or practice his instruments. It wasn’t until he was eleven, when he had to move to Florida so that he could be closer to his father. He was raised to be a Catholic, but all of that changed when his Father took him to his Pentecostal church one Sunday morning. He couldn’t help but notice so many people crying, shaking, and running around the whole church like it was a playground. Also, while the service was happening, there were so many people swaying their hands from side to side, shouting out “Glory to God” and “My soul worships you Jesus.” He wasn’t used to that. He thought to himself “these people are crazy,” because in Catholic churches they recite verses from the bible, sing quietly, and sit down the whole entire service. There were a lot of times when he thought to himself “this isn’t a church, because these people are acting like it’s a carnival or an amusement park.”…

    When I was a kid, I was living in West Roxbury small town near Boston, Massachusetts. I had many events happen in life, some good and some not so good but in the end it was a learning experience and part of my history. At the age of 7, I was sent to another country to live with my grandmother in South America. I had to leave my family due to medical reasons that my mother was going through. Many things were hard, but taking that experience has made me realize that good things can come out of what was then a bad experience in the beginning. Trying to adapt to a new school, new friends, new environment, new family in the sense that I didn’t have my parents with me, wasn’t what I was used to but what did I know about that I was only 7 years old although if my memory serves me well, it was somewhat hard but not impossible to adapt to. Change is not an easy thing to adapt to especially if life has been a routine; it’s a cycle of experiences that with every step we go in life.…
