English Assignment: Autobiographical Piece In an instant‚ I was wide-awake. An asphyxiating‚ crushing pressure and dark‚ dank air felt like my only company. I was dying‚ or so every part of my being was telling me. The immense‚ clutching pains radiating from my chest to my jaw could be only one thing… a heart attack. I lay there silently‚ overwhelmed with crippling fear and panic; frozen‚ immobile‚ waiting for what my mind had deemed inevitable. Wait…the pain was beginning to ease. The powerful

In this photo by Lewis Wickes Hines titled “Riveters attaching a beam”‚ we see four men working in a dangerous workplace‚ on top of the Empire State building mid-construction‚ with no visible safety measures in place.

I concur with that which Ralph Waldo Emerson once posited: "Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered‚ you will never grow." It is important to try new things that one has not already mastered because growth is essential‚ the challenge encourages resilience‚ and there is enjoyment to be gained by doing so. Challenging one’s self is what teaches us to be resilient. Without challenge

I wake up surrounded by suffocating darkness‚ gasping for a breath that won’t come‚ my heart pounding. I don’t know what time it is and for a minute I don’t know where I am‚ I’m still trapped in whatever hellscape I was in. It takes me another minute to realise that I am home in my bed‚ and another minute to calm my racing heart and even out my breathing. In and out‚ in and out‚ over and over again until I’ve calmed down. At this point I’m too exhausted to go to find my parents so I settle for trying

My proudest moment was when I was 9 years old. It was the first day I had been back to horseback riding lessons since I was 6 years old. I had stopped riding when I was six because my horse had thrown me off‚ the winter was pretty harsh on my asthma‚ and my riding instructor told me I needed to take a break.
