Change is a fussy thing in the stomach that can bring tears to the eyes‚ sweat to the palms‚ and jitters to the feet. It can also bring about laughter in the heart‚ a pounding in the chest‚ and a strange desire to open a door so often overlooked or ignored. See‚ change is scary; everyone knows that‚ but also necessary. Every single second births new ideas and concepts that were only a dream before‚ so seemingly far away from reality. My whole life has been shaped by change; moving to America‚ finding

Stride after stride after stride‚ I was oblivious to the pain in my calves or the sweat dripping down my forehead; the only thing on my mind was outdoing my summer’s best time. After running close to six miles every day‚ I had no intention of breaking that streak. However‚ that hot July day I had no choice but to end it. At the halfway point‚ as I turned my body to look behind me‚ my left knee underwent a full lateral patellar dislocation. My hopes of becoming a UConn athlete subsequently came to

I have a clear vision of my career goals‚ and the culinary arts program comprises exactly the skills and tools I need to succeed. Because I am determined and focused‚ I do not need anything more than the training and education the Art Institutes will provide. A commitment to a full-time four year‚ or even a part-time eight year degree program does not suit my personal or professional needs for several reasons. First‚ because I know exactly how I want to apply my new skills‚ I do not need any extraneous

Scars are left in our bodies and our minds as a reminder of harder times. As we grow older we are marked by our experiences. Some scars are forgotten about and others will always be there as a reminder. Just like any person I have scars that were left on me from my mind to my body. Like all we have scars that will never heal and others that are left as a joke. But I am here today to talk about a scar I have in an odd place‚ it is on my left butt cheek.
