    Our motivations are what get us up in the morning and get us through the day. They are also more long term in that our specific motivators may determine the direction in which we take our lives and what we decide to do with our time. It can often be difficult to identify these motivators in ourselves. One way to see these motivators is to compare and contrast oneself to others. In Liz Murray’s memoir Breaking Night, she describes her hard and challenging life up until the moment that she was accepted into Harvard University. Although Liz’s life is quite different than mine, some aspects of ourselves and our motivations are the same, but of course there are also differences between them as well.…

    Don’t you hate these cafeteria meetings? I asked Peter. “Yah man, I know what you mean”. “I’m confused at the idea of gathering a bunch of classrooms filled with 8th grade students in a cafeteria, and making them listen to Principal Barton talking about how the school is making budget cuts and switching to the cheap stuff”, said Peter. But soon enough the Principal Barton's announcements were interrupted with a huge and echoing SMACK!!! I looked around, everyone was in awe as the pizza that was splattered on the principal’s face drooped down to the principal’s cheek and the gooey cheese rolled down his gray suit.

    Night terrors are episodes of fear, flailing, and screaming while asleep. This disorder is more common in children and can last between a few seconds and several minutes. According to an article, “The person cannot be awakened or comforted, and they may believe people or objects in the room are dangerous. The person does not usually remember what happened in the morning.” (Helping Hand, “Sleep Terrors and Sleepwalking”, 2004-2012) Night terrors are relatively rare, affecting only a small percentage of children between the ages of four and twelve, and a smaller percentage of adults. The Detroit Medical Journal states, “Night terrors are divided into idiopathic and symptomatic. Silbermann characterizes the idiopathic kind as a transitory hallucination…

    Sarah was in her fourth year of college and about to graduate. She felt very accomplished as the graduation came closer. As she was signing up for her cap and gown, she dropped her pencil. She reached for the pencil and noticed someone reaching for that same pencil. As she looked up to see who was helping her, she almost fainted. She whispered "pinch me" and turned as red as a lobster. The young man said "Excuse me? Well, you dropped your pencil." It was Dreamy Steven. As he was about to turn around, he added: “Hey, you're Sarah, right?" Sarah was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said: “I meant to ask you to dinner freshman year, but never got to it. The offer is still open, if you are willing to take it." She finally opened her mouth to respond to his request. As she smiled, his face shifted in a weird manner. He then said: "On second thought, my girlfriend wouldn’t like that" and he walked away. Sarah was devastated and ran to a bathroom to hide from the embarrassment of being turned down by Dreamy Steven. She decided to shrug it off. As she was about to leave the bathroom, she decided to re-touch her make-up. She applied the lip-gloss and smiled in the mirror. She was horrified! Her smile showed a piece of lettuce in between her two front teeth from her lunch earlier that day. As she stepped out of the bathroom she was surprised to see that Dreamy Steven was outside waiting for her. Then he said: “I’m sorry I was trying to funny, but I guess I came off more cruel than funny. This is why I want to make it up to you. How about I take you out this Saturday to your favorite restaurant?” Sarah, surprised, looked up at him and answered, “YES!!”…
