His past which is full of traumas and few happy or funny moments, here he sit on his study table, with an assignment to write. A life’s descriptive essay, given options, that if he wrote about, will only reveal secrets that his not ready to let slip out of his graveyard of memories closet. Here there he sits paralyze with thoughts, as he stir confusedly on the questions that he is unable to answer in life. There he sit like a pastor being tempted to steal the church offerings to pay for his dying father’s surgery, but keep on asking himself, should he take the money and save his dad’s, and lose his soul , or should he be honest and let his father die, he wonders from thought to thought. Silently he sits with a flood of questions but a rain drop of anwers, as he try to find questios that life asks which he is unable to answer.
Al of a sudden he remembers a childhood memory that sends him back into the past.
Is this real he confusedly ask himself, as he try to come back to reality, but the force of the past seem stronger than the present, so he remain in the past. His brain gets even flooded more with an ocean of past memories! He once again tries to fight back but the force even get stronger and stronger. His head start to pain terribly as if it’s about to explode, his brain start spinning,”Oh my god I am I going insane, can this be real, (again another question which he is unable to answer)”he desperately ask himself. Than he gave he let his brain wonder where ever it chooses to. As he let the past have its way with him, it starts to feel real and more real. “OH fuck am real in the past “he exclaim. He looks at his hands and they look young, oh fuck, oh fuck he repeated exclaim. He ran into the bathroom and look at his face in the mirror. He got surprise at what he sees,
He sees himself as a young boy, oh fuck, am I turning loco he ask himself once again. He desperately looks for facts that will make this ordeal untrue. He knows for sure that it can’t be but he just can’t justify it. No man can go back in the past
Still a little boy but flooded with adult questions.
With hats how he feels should I let go of my most priceful memories,priceful in the sense that it can make me look humble like a poor rat,(if they ever get poor),or should I choose the easy way out and plagiarize
I got this inspiration to go back where I come from
Sometimes questions we ask in life are in our pasts
The past can not be deleted only edited

In the story "No Memory Comes" we see The Boy that doesn't adapt juxtaposed to his friend that does. Both boys are in similar circumstances yet one chooses to be backward looking whilst the other looks to the future. Both boys grow up in a small town which throughout the story develops into a commercial tourist spot with high rise apartments all the while losing its country feel. The Boy always talks about the past he "bores people at parties, he tells them everything he remembers" and through these constant reflections the reader is given the impression that he is not embracing the present or the possible future. Ultimately, this ends in his destruction when he tries to open one of his Dad's old beers (a symbol the past). Whilst doing so he slips and cuts himself in the groin with the opener. Symbolically, where he cut himself is very important by castrating himself the reader is again entrenched with the idea of The Boy being unable of maturing into a man. His friend, on the other hand, adapts to the changes in his town, and although he doesn't like them he doesn't let them consume him, he accepts them and gets on with his life. He struggles for the things that he wants and it pays off for him as he gets a girlfriend and becomes head boy of his school. The comparison between the two boys is strong and so is the…

Many mysteries lie in moments that we cherish with little to no feeling whatsoever. The littlest memory can hold the most value. A moment suspended in time that a glance back, is all it takes to realize the potential it holds. A mother, caressing the face of her three month old baby daughter, a father lovingly holding his child close during a thunderstorm because she can’t sleep, a brother hugging his sister close after a hard long term in the army. Or on the other side of the spectrum: a man who holds no value of his wife, a mother who abandons her nine year old child because she holds drugs much more closer to her heart, a sister that gave her life due to extensive bullying. Any memory, every memory, holds either despairing value or precious.…

I’ve been in AITE since my freshman year, I walked into the school not knowing anyone and now I’m walking out knowing everyone. I have built so many different relationships throughout my four years being here. I’ve experienced my good and bad days here. I’ve had accomplishments and failures. I feel like I matured a lot, not from the school itself but the road and path I took in this school which is something I hope no other student ever experience. I honestly have nothing against the school but some teachers in the school I feel some kind of way about. Everything that I know now that I didn’t know my freshman years feels like I taught myself, my learning method has always been in trials and errors before I actually learned from it and progressed and that’s what my four years have been. I never really had good grades in this school and it wasn’t anything due to my behavior or me not being smart but I can most definitely blame it on my laziness and if I was to really put my mind to it without a doubt no questions ask me Carolyn Fogle can do the work that was handed to me. I am a pro at procrastination, which usually leads to me not accomplishing what needed to be done, so I just totally gave up on myself and began to walk around with this “I don’t care” mentality. I don’t usually regret things because I obviously went through them for a reason which is to learn from it and I did but I wish I can turn it all around because now I’m sitting here stuck on the edge not knowing if I will be walking on June 22nd Weds. After noon which is a really scary feeling. It’s sad how when the time officially approaches reality begins to kick in when it should have a long time ago. I can sit here and blame myself and not anyone else for everything I brought on myself.…

Life is an opportunity. It is a cycle of most valuable and treasured memories that even a ninety year old and a crippled person will not be able to erase and forget. It is an endless road that is full of laughter, sweat, tearful and most of all loneliness. The land was extremely barren for my eyes. The blue angry waves of the sea made me feel so anxious to paddle my daddy’s canoe to collect sea urchins and sea cucumbers, that I could sell to earn a little bit of money to feed my firstborn three months old baby.…
