Being Alone
YEAR 2008….THE PAST; HOW DID I SURVIVE? YEAR 2009…..THE PRESENT; WHAT WOULD BE MY DESTINY?

According to Chinese Calendar, year 2008 is the year of rat exactly the same as calculated as equal to my birth year and happened to be my lucky year, the very reason for it… the blessings that I received up to the end.

Early quarter of 2008..I remember how I supposed to be disciplined in terms of everything, I was starting to list all my target goal including my new year’s resolution, my plan after passing the CPA board exam, looking ahead of my future….in the midst of my preparation for the last chance of taking board exam because my father’s pride was part of it…I was shocked and emotionally depressed for my love one begun to break my heart..it was really difficult not to mix my heart with my mind over my priority to be a CPA…I prayed believing that I can survive, no matter what happens, all I wanted was to give the crown of joy for the family whom from the very start never surrender their trust and support for my crafts. I had been touched for my childhood friend , Rochelle for she had made finally the nursing board exam, I witnessed her victory.,realized to continue my life without special someone who ‘s I thought that he would be there until my final celebration..still bitter? Not much like before....

Confidently moving on..trying to push myself enough not to hurt anymore but even though I’m trying to be free...the rule would never like the way I wanted to be..definitely myself is not exempted…I am opened for any wounds that possibly could hit me…It was like torturing my own self and at the same time, prolonging for my agony…not worst., I won the battle..I got the title at last..the one my father had been waiting FINALLY CAME…Now I’m already Certified Public Accountant…no amount of money can be compared for the happiness I brought to my family including my clan in both side of my parents. I’ve realized that being a rat of this year refers to my

    Loner Manifesto Being Alone Analysis

    To be alone, is being able to learn not only yourself, but to learn to love and appreciate the whole world around you. Like the way when you walk through the forest and the newly fallen leaves smell of fresh rain and the upcoming winter. When you look in the mirror and see that you’re beautiful even with your imperfections of acne and scars. Being alone is okay, it lets you appreciate what’s around and helps you learn to love your imperfetions acnce and scars and the world before you find your love. I saw a video once and great words came from it, “lonerness is okay, it’s okay if nobody believes like you, all experience is unique.”…

    Modern Day Solitude Analysis

    Solitude was one of the main disciplines Jesus engaged in throughout His ministry (Luke 5:16. NIV) The sole purpose is to commune with God alone and get rid of things in life that cloud your sight and hinder you from hearing God. It is in this place of close communion with God, the soul opens wide to listen and receive . It is achieved by eliminating anything that can distract you from focusing on God including people. Because I am now aware of this discipline of solitude, it has become a prominent discipline in my life.…

    Loneliness OMAM

    In “Of Mice and Men” Steinbeck shows the life of ranchworkers and other characters in the early 1930’s and shows how people are willing to achieve their dream. There are specific words such as “Soledad” and “Solitaire”, Soledad connotes loneliness and Solitaire is single man game. This makes it clear that all men who work on the ranches are lonely, while others more than each other. At the beginning the path is described as “a path beaten by hard boys coming down from the ranches to swim in the deep pool … beaten hard by tramps…” This creates a setting and shows how men who work on the ranch have had temporary, isolated and lonely lives. Many men have must have walked through this road towards a lonely and miserable life, moving from ranch to ranch searching for jobs. The initial descriptions of George and Lennie convey their status in life as “the first man was small and quick” with “sharp, strong features” which means that he is the dominant and confident character in this relationship and can stand up against the world. Juxtaposing with this, Lennie is described as ‘a huge man, shapeless of face’ which could suggest that Lennie is quite unsure about the world he lives in compared to George. As they enter the ranch they are separated into two different environments as George mixes with the ranchmen and Lennie is most of the time alone. This shows that George is able to survive in this harsh world while Lennie is alone and vulnerable. This relates to the theme of “survival of the fittest” as Lennie is sentenced to death by his loneliness and contrasting characteristics with George which is very similar to Candy’s dog.…

    What I felt through reading this essay, I regretted my spring semester in the college. Until June, I was fine and had full of hope and enthusiasm that I would be able to cope up with my work and school. Since June, I started the part time job in the restaurant. At the beginning, I felt so comfortable with me because I earned money, which helped my parents and me a lot. Then gradually, it forced me to commit myself overworking. As I reflect myself now, at that time, I was totally lack of the balance. Mentally and physically, I was at the extreme. Some teachers kindly advised me to reduce the working time, but I…

    Personal Statement: A Career As A Nursing Assistant

    Since I was young, I knew I wanted a career within the health and science world because I was fascinated and excited to learn about it. The exact profession I wanted to enter switched frequently but always landed into the previously mentioned parameters. I finally had decided to become a nurse and was dead set on that for many years. In high school, I enrolled into an online class to become a certified nursing assistant. I loved the course material and learning how the health facilities were run. When clinicals started, however, I found my feelings changing more negatively towards the class. I loved working with the residents but had a hard time not getting too emotional. I decided that nursing wasn’t the path I wanted to go on and started…

    Opposite of Loneliness

    For every teenager, stepping into the world of adulthood somewhat gives them a different vibe and ambiance whereby they go through different stages and levels to finally be where they are today. They can never be aware of what the future holds for them but to only be prepared for every impact that might hit them along the way. Its like a test, being graded based on your performance and to distinguish whether or not you’ve achieved your success. In the article “Opposite of loneliness” by Marina Keegan, it explains about the life of a young adult who started her adulthood in Yale University. A place she had found happiness and most certainly the opposite of loneliness. Moreover, she finds herself completely attached to it as she had said in the first paragraph “What I’m grateful and thankful to have found at Yale and what I’m scared of losing when we wake up tomorrow and leave this place”. This phrase shows us that Yale brought out the best in her, something she fears losing and that she is actually very reluctant to have to leave. She is afraid that all her memories and experiences she has gone through would be gone once she steps out of Yale.…

    But before I could achieve acceptance, I had to complete the application process. a daunting pile of applications, essays and deadlines that would encompass most of a three month period. weeks of stressful forms to fill out paired with seeking letters of recommendation and writing multiple personal statements, I found myself in a state of constant stress. All the while there is an ominous shadow of doubt hanging over my head. “Will I get in anywhere?” was the question that poisoned my brain stunting the process and adding more stress. Instead of moving forward, I seemed to be getting infinitely further away from my goal. However my mind was still on the goal of acceptance. But it was slowly becoming my white whale. I had this one seemingly unattainable goal that was slowly consuming me becoming my sole purpose for existence.

I had not been accepted yet and self doubt shrouded over me. Although I seemed to have made it out alive, my stress was still a constant factor.
