Almost eight years ago I was abused physically and mentally‚ I didn’t think that even now it would haunt me‚ or that I’d have to go to therapy because of it. I won’t go near that house for as long as I live. Because the pain still lingers even if it was in the past. I lie on the floor of a hoarder’s bedroom‚ cluttered with trash‚ dirty cloths‚ spoiled food‚ and food stains in the cream colored carpet. The roar of a busy highway a little less than a mile away makes my ears hurt. I had slept on the icy

While colleges take in account your GPA and test scores‚ I have also found that colleges look into character and how a potential student will make a positive impact at their school.

I think a medical office administration assistant would be a very good career for me because I am very

and women are equal. They have the same opportunities‚ same rights. I wasn’t really keen on the ‘feminist’ name tag either. Mostly‚ due to its association with single‚ angry women burning bras and holding sign boards saying “We don’t need men to dictate us.” It took me a while to reflect upon my purpose for calling myself a feminist. It involved intensive googling at 3 am and long discussions with friends in coffee shops to

Growing up‚ I watched my mother work from midnight to well into the next afternoon. I watched her endless strive to pay the bills every month‚ all while cooking dinner for our family. Reflecting upon her hard work has made me appreciate her even more that I already do‚ making her the woman I want to strive to be for my own family. This brings to me to my drive to help others. A smile on others is what motivates me to help others even more. Not only does it make them feel loved‚ but it also makes

In If I Die in a Combat Zone ‚ author Tim O’Brien argued that the Vietnam War was unjust through his depictions of violent events during the war‚ how the war affected both the soldiers and innocent civilians‚ and the inhumane duties required of the soldiers.

TO CUBA Cuba has been on my “must see before I die” list for about ten years now. Something about the impossibility of it made it more appealing to me. I wanted to experience a country that wasn’t dominated by consumerism‚ a place where new trends rarely reached‚ and most of all‚ I wanted to experience what it meant to live a Cuban life. And now‚ since President Obama took a trip to start mending the not-so-stable relations between both countries‚ I knew it was my last chance to visit before McDonalds
