The glaring white walls that scare most others bring comfort to me. During my life I have spent a profound amount of time wandering the halls of these mazes. Each room in this building has a story behind it‚ a path of hope‚ pain‚ and resilience. To me‚ hospitals are one of the places I feel most relaxed. My mom was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis is 2003‚ just as she completed her PhD in psychology. As she finished what she thought to be the hardest portion of her life‚ she was dumped into a

The poem says it is for “Michael Lonlgey”. I assume this is one of a group that Heaney wrote with and exchanged poems with. The first stanza conveys his compulsion to play around wells.

Like most people‚ when it comes time to decide on where there’re going to eat‚ I’m plagued by indecision. One thing that everyone in my family can agree on when all else fails is Mexican food‚ so when asked where I wanted to go eat today‚ I picked Gringos. I keep hearing positive talk about it‚ and thought I would see what all the fuss was about. It’s important to note that I moved from the Dallas area where my family and I would eat Mexican food at several times a week and since moving I have yet

As I crossed the road with my dog Henry‚ I could feel the frigid winter breeze on my face. Then I felt a snowflake land on my nose like a plane landing after a long flight. I didn’t like this cold weather at all but I had heard many children around me cheering and laughing. I heard things like “woohoo it is snowing” and things like “oww don’t throw snowballs at my face”. That last one made me chuckle a little bit when I had heard it. Then I heard someone yell my name‚ which is Brian by the way. So
