I have always grown up in the shadow of the spotlight. Through sports‚ school‚ and social life‚ I was not the best player‚ student‚ or friend. My senior year‚ football season changed all of that in a matter of a few days.

Sometimes‚ I feel like I was born to dream‚ live‚ and even sleep thinking about basketball. Basketball is such an amazing sport and I cannot fathom living in a world in which the sport did not exist

Dear Prof. Pretorius‚ I passed this course with flying colours because I learned to study smarter‚ not necessarily harder. I now realise that I haven’t always studied correctly. When I started this course‚ I thought I knew exactly what terms such as “competitive advantage” and “positioning” meant…but I soon found out that I had so much to learn. I have made mistakes‚ but as Hugh White said "When you make a mistake‚ don’t look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then

How do we foresee death? How do we as humans accept fate‚ that all living must die? Sometimes its is hard to understand as shown in the poems‚ Janet waking by John Crowe Ranson‚ Because I could not stop for death by Emily Dickenson‚ and Barbie doll by Marge Pierce. Death can be seen differently by everyone and these authors definitely had different views. In the poem “Because I could not stop for death” the author has personified death‚ as if to make it easier for the reader. If we can imagine something

Things that I have learned so far about high school is that the more you will realize who your friends are they will really start showing you their “true colors”. Furthermore balancing the workload is a very hard task because you have extra curriculum and other responsibilities dealing with your household.

I thought the movie Paris‚ Je t’aime (Paris‚ I love you) was very well put together with the different scenes about love. Love is such a broad topic which made the movie more interesting to see before I watched it.
