The worst job I ever had Many of us have to go through different hurdles in our life and one among those is having the worst job. All of us have to work in this world and the jobs that we get may not be the best job that we like. “All things are difficult before they are easy” (Fuller‚ Brainy Quote).

The Hardest Challenge I Have Ever Faced I have meet with more than my share of difficult challenges. This one will remain with me always‚ occasionally playing over in my mind when I look at my son. It was April of 1993‚ the eve of Easter Sunday; my children and I were coloring Easter eggs in anticipation of the big hunt the following morning.

In the spring of 2001‚ I had my first and only panic attack. I don’t remember a lot of details other than uncontrollable crying (the really ugly kind) and gasping for every breath as if it were my last. I was 24 at the time – barely out of college – and I’d already survived a lot of early 20’s angst‚ so what triggered the attack was pretty tame by comparison: I thought my boyfriend was on a short list for a promotion‚ resulting in an imminent move to Charlotte‚ North Carolina.That’s it.Not usually

We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No‚ no… I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

“I Have a Dream” Big city‚ bright lights‚ loud noise are all a small town girl like me dream about. Being born in a small town and living in the country most of my life I never had a chance to see what the big cities were like other than on vacations. Although‚ it was like biting into a piece of my favorite pie and then throwing it away‚ in other words going on vacation to places like New York and having to come back to the country was a tease. I appreciate where I come from though. It has its

I have a dream 1. What indicates that King’s words were meant primarily for an audience of listeners‚ and only secondarily for a reading audience? To hear these indications‚ try reading the speech aloud. What uses of parallelism do you notice?
