Since the day i met you
Through life's wanderings, people have passed me by;

Never once sparing me a second glance.

My life was black, white, and shades of gray.

Cold and colorless was the world around me;

I felt so alone. Something was missing,

Until you came into my life.

Your eyes sparkled with a joy I'd never felt before.

Your smile lit up everything around you.

You opened my eyes, showing me the beauty of this world;

A world I want to share with you.

When I laugh, you laugh too.

When I cry, you comfort me.

When I fall, you're there to pick me up.

You understand how I feel;

You're sensitivity, endearing.

We're made for each other.

Two hearts beating in unison.

Since you came, I'm not alone anymore.

The world has color now, it doesn't seem so big.

My life has changed, for the better of course,

Since you

    The speaker in this poem states, “I am the only colored student in my class” (10). Therefore, he didn’t feel like everyone else in his class when he should have. Later on in the poem he states, “I guess being colored doesn’t make me not like the / same things other folks like who are other races” (25-26). He connects himself with the other white students in his class. He finds similarities between himself and the others in the classroom. After all, he is just an average student like everybody else. Like everybody else, he likes “to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love. / I like to work, read, learn, and understand life” (21-22). Relating to his classmates and teacher, he…

    You knew I was scared of the dark so you left the light in the bathroom( you still do that every time we come over) and you put a chair next to the bed so if me or Kasia fell off nothing would happen to us. Then I became homesick and scared of the night and the dark and you stayed at the bottom of the bed talking to me until I fell asleep and I do not know how you accomplished that. You slept near me the whole entire night in case I woke up and you cared for the slightest need, that I requested. As your eyes were half closed you made sure I was always happy. Then the next morning you made the breakfast that is now the usual at house (Nalesniki, bacon, eggs and homemade blueberry syrup). I will never forget how you cared for me because you influenced me to care for others before myself and everyday of your life you follow…

    While I look down at it, I think of a boy I once knew, of how, for a short time, he was a dash of color in my monochrome world. I think of how I drew him flowers; how one morning, he stood silently behind me and watched me draw them with a broken pen; how he swiped the card I drew them on away from me and held it close to his eyes, smiling, telling me how much he liked them. I remember going home that night and painting flowers the same strawberry pink as the tulip resting in my fingers, and I remember drawing those flowers again in black and white a week later. Those I drew on an envelope with his name written in large cursive letters in the middle. Inside was a goodbye I knew…

    As she entered the local supermarket, everyone’s actions came to a standstill. They all watched her as she walked down the aisle minding her own business. Their eyes pierced into her dark flesh, discovering the humility that the woman felt as they watched every single one of her moves. The humiliation that she experienced caused her to question how one’s mind could be so immoral to the point where they discriminate people from society because of their skin color. She perpetually wondered what it would be like to be born a different skin color. It was challenging for the young woman to be a part of society without feeling discriminated by others. She longed for the time where color would not create a rift in society and instead would unite people…

    In the film 12 Years a Slave the institution of slavery affected all other five social institutions: the family, economy, religion, education, and the legal/justice system in many ways. In this film, what we learn in this film is different from what we were told as children. I was taught that Africans were brought to the United States of America and sold to individuals of all races. I cannot recall that some Africans were free in the Northern States and kidnapped then sold into slavery to Slave owners in the Southern states. This film is a true story of Solomon Northup in the 1840’s.…

    I grew up in a very loving and caring family who always made sure my basic needs were met. I never went hungry unless it was my own choice; I always had clothes on my back and a roof over my head no matter how tough things got with our finances. All my clothes might have been hand-me-downs, I never had the new toys or gadgets, I never knew what it was like to have cable television and when I finally was able to start making an allowance it was only two-dollars every two week because that was all my parents would spare. Now as a young adult, I am very grateful for my childhood and how I was raised with the values that were instilled in me. All my…

    Should We Say Forever

    The problem with commitments is not so much making them, but keeping them. Judging by human behavior, at least, that must be the harder part. So our subject matter for this chapter moves from commitment to the question of fidelity. First we will inquire into how fidelity and commitment are related, then we will analyze the components of fidelity, and finally we will attempt to situate human fidelity in its religious and theological frame of reference. In comparison to fidelity, commitment seems to be a brittle category. In comparison to fidelity, furthermore, commitment plays a relatively small part in a person’s conscious life, it seems to me. On the other hand, I believe most of us expend a good deal of psychic energy trying to figure out what is entailed in order to be faithful to the reality we find ourselves in. For those who have already made their commitments, commitments might no longer be a significant category. Commitment is like a door to be gone through, but once [page 151] through it, fidelity or infidelity is the moral shape of the land entered. In other words, for one who has gone through the narrow gate, commitment is likely to be a nonproblem. Once inside the reality of a committed life, the problem of commitment passes over into the interaction between the primordial direction of one’s life and the ways one chooses to express this by word and action and relationship. In other words, I think there comes a time when commitment recedes as an operational aspect of one’s life. We might call it a self-consuming artifact. It can re-emerge at any point, for a number of reasons, as a vital question. But the sooner one gets beyond it, so to speak, the greater the likelihood that one is living a committed life.…

    1. When I watched the movie “Pirates of Silicon Valley,” I was reminded of the theory of survival of the fittest from my Anthropology class. Although Anthropology is a drastically different course than Entrepreneurial Foundations, this concept certainly applies to this movie. Survival of the fittest can be related to business competition as well in the sense that when two or more businesses compete for business, the better equipped business will outlast the other. This drives prices down and improves quality of many products or services in hopes of gaining more business than the next guy.…

    Early one morning

    • 645 Words

    I awoke slowly to the sound of birds chirping in the distance, the soft rustling of trees as they swayed in the morning breeze and the soft sound of waves as they gently lapped on the lake shore. This was Mother Nature at her best and I suddenly realized that my life couldn’t possibly get any better than this. Every year in June, I come to Lake Tomahawk to fish, swim and relax. To me, Lake Tomahawk is my home away from home, my paradise here on earth. Forgotten are my monthly datelines, sales targets and overbearing boss. Forgotten is my monthly ritual of paying my credit cards and rental. Forgotten is my life before Lake Tomahawk. My annual retreat to Lake Tomahawk relaxes me both mentally and physically. I have been coming here faithfully for the last 20 summers. I usually spend around 10 days here, 10 glorious days of doing nothing except basking in the sun, fishing, and sleeping. Every year I arrive here feeling utterly depleted and disgusted with life in general. City living, survival in the corporate world and staying one step ahead of the bill collector had all but exhausted me, both mentally and physically. The clean, clear, pristine waters of Lake Tomahawk have the miraculous ability to wash away whatever ails me, body and soul. At the end of my vacation here, I leave with a happy heart. I leave Lake Tomahawk a rejuvenated man, rejuvenated mind, body and soul. I feel young again and ready and eager to take on whatever challengers or obstacles life may decide to throw at me.…
