income environment‚ blah‚ blah. I said all of that to say this; those factors haven’t plagued my life or my future. I embraced those negatives and turned them into positives. I had a really strong mother who made sure that I stayed on the right track in terms of my future success‚ and she did a great job. I joined the military the day after I graduated high school and haven’t looked back since. Life in the military has brought me many experiences‚ some good and some bad. But for the most part‚ the

Life in Kansas. Well‚ it’s life‚ but in Kansas. If I ever talk to someone from another state or anywhere else they always say something about it being flat‚ even though I never thought it was flat because there are the beautiful Flint Hills of Kansas that are not flat at all. Also‚ if I ever travel outside of Kansas and somebody knows I am from Kansas they will say “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore” as some kind of joke‚ it’s a given. The Flint Hills are absolutely stunning and it is my favorite

Man in the Mine A life in the ghetto is no life at all. Especially in Molesville‚ Pennsylvania‚ a town left in the dust by modern society. Ever since I can remember my mother has been sick‚ this terrible place is the cause. With little sanitation the streets are rat infested and the poor die young. We had not had enough money‚ when my father left us‚ to afford food to live with‚ let alone go get help from a doctor. After my mother’s pregnancies she gradually became more and more sick. I thought

I still remember his deep brown eyes that day‚ almost as if his soul was shining through them. They screamed innocence and confusion as we walked through the doors of the veterinarian’s office. He was so ignorant of his own fate‚ yet he still shook like he uniformly did just as if he was only going in for an annual check up. I was stuck deep in the paradox of wanting him to be set free from all his pain‚ but selfishly‚ I wanted him to stay. I yearned for the dog that he once was‚ but he was too far

Last year in 7th grade we went to Washington D.C and saw the washington monument‚ lincoln memorial‚ we went inside the Capitol building‚ The Changing of the Guard at Arlington cemetery‚ saw The White House. That didn’t really interest me‚ I don’t even have any souvenirs! Even earlier in the year‚ we went to Buffalo‚ New York. We saw a football game (the team we were rooting for lost‚(TO THE JETS

I was questioning myself when I read about the four job options from Joanne B. Ciulla’s Work and Life. I chose the “a well-paying position in an accounting firm” with a little surprised (Ciulla‚ 83). I know I want to earn more money‚ but I do not expect that I put money in the first place when I choose a job. However‚ it is true and I cannot ignore it. Money is quite important when we live in this world. As Epicurus said‚ “Wherefore both when young and old a man must study philosophy‚ that as he

The fire escape saved Nikki’s life. Before falling off her aunt’s coffeehouse‚ she grabbed hold of the black railing and righted herself. Black smoke rolled out of the chimneys‚ doors‚ and windows. The explosion had left the place intact‚ but the initial blast was great enough to bounce her into midair. Who knew if more were on the way‚ or what had caused it in the first place. Nikki coughed as she heaved herself into the open hallway window. Unsteady on her feet‚ she groaned and rubbed her tired

to ESY to make up my English class‚ we have been reading articles about valuing life. I have done some stuff that I regret. I want to make up the time lost that I could have with my family but because of basketball I was mostly tired all the time‚ so i didn’t want to go out with them. If I were to know that I had only thirty days to live and want to change something‚ it would definitely be valuing those who make my life so much easier and love me. Lately‚ we haven’t really been able to go out and just

The start of a mundane life began as usual a bus ride to school‚ but today something else happened a flash of yellow a soundless luxury sports car zoomed bass by a Lamborghini. As the car passed by everyone looked at it with amazement as the never seen a car pass from this part of the street. I began to wonder when will I get one with imaginary job I will live the high life. The bus hits a bump on the road I am begging to rationalize who much work

It was a sunny afternoon in the spring when 9th grader Paulette’s life was forever change. It started as an average day‚ for an average girl‚ in an average town‚ as though we all thought. As the school day was over at Immaculate Conception‚ Paulette Raney approaches her bus to Orange (a town in New Jersey). She takes her seat in the back‚ just like every day. While reading a book‚ she’s interrupted and looks up with her beautiful hazel- green eyes to find a young man in front of her. His name was
