Prejudice is something that no one thinks they are fond of. I have never found myself to be in a situation where I thought that I was being bias or making an unreasonable assumption in the moment. However‚ after pondering over certain situations‚ I realized that I have found myself to make assumptions in a few circumstances. I met one of my best friends last year during field hockey season. As a junior‚ I was very excited to start the season and see what the freshmen had to offer. During the

I got asked if I was gay in middle school gym class by prying girls as they saw me repeatedly miss foul shots. My answer was always “no”. Looking back‚ I’m not even sure those prodding questions had any merit.

At what point does “gay” become more than a juvenile insult? Ever since I was little I knew I was different‚ but I assumed I felt just as

Trying new activities especially if it is something different from my own culture is what I have always wanted to do because I have this curiosity to explore what is around me.

Personally‚ it is the first time me attending

Dear Journal‚ Today is September 20‚ 2030. I woke up in this strange and desolate place. The last thing I remembered before waking up was seeing my husband‚ Anthony‚ and my son‚ Angel. We were boarding a spaceship to the moon‚ the last spaceship‚ because Earth is no longer suitable for life. I heard the moon was wonderful and full of life‚ well at least that is what the government says‚ unlike Earth which is now dead and looks like a giant dumpster. I looked all around this place searching for

Purchasing a new car can be a gamble. There are many factors that play part in a car buyer’s decision. Take for instance a 2010 Ford Fusion and 2010 Honda Civic. Both are great cars‚ and will most likely be worth every penny a person puts in to one of them. But‚ taking into consideration‚ gas mileage‚ features‚ and price‚ which would be the better buy? Now‚ of course‚ different people have different requirements and expectations that must be met by a vehicle. But there is probably not a single

Veronica was actually shocked that she’d enjoyed the date so much. When it had originally been brought up by Sarah and Jake that Jake had a single friend she had waved off the idea of a bind date. Eventually Sarah had worn her down though and now as well as the date had gone she didn’t think Sarah would ever let her forget this. She smiled slightly at the man sitting next to her as they made their way down the street she lived. Glancing down at the slim gold watch that circled her wrist she realized

A couple of days latter I found myself dialoguing with him via text message. I exchanged texts with him while working‚ on and off for an entire day. There was no attempt on his part at flirtation‚ suggestion‚ or trying to negotiate the boundary that I put in place. I wondered if I was giving him mixed message since in fact I was not being clear with him. He did put his toe in the water in terms of starting a flirtation‚ though it was after I accidentally gave him an opening. I referred to myself

This was not a normal day; my mind knew it and so did my thin pale body. I had a sick awful uneasy feeling in my stomach. The day had come that I talked to my doctors about the daunting IFV. For many months‚ I couldn’t keep my mind in one place‚ ideas were always flying around and I would always struggle to catch them. I had just turned the big 4 0 and decided I had to do something before it was too late. My hair has started becoming multi-coloured‚ my face is starting to crack‚ my skin doesn’t stick
