Maybe it was time that I expressed my feelings towards him‚ and stop being a so called whimp. I moved from Mississippi when I was 10 year old and leaving Emmett was even harder. We were both raised in Chicago and we had always been together‚ even our families were close. This summer Emmett will be visiting soon for his two week vacation with his relatives‚ and had called

A library and a book are very different things. I love books. However‚ I hate libraries. This may seem contradictory. How can someone love a book so much but hate its natural habitat? The answer lies within a bittersweet story of seeing my future‚ not so long ago‚ that tells the story of my education. It was January of my freshman year‚ and my classmates and I were brought to a library to be introduced to the pieces of paper that would follow us forever: our academic transcripts. My classmates joked

Dear. Mr. Lac Su I would like to start off by saying Thank You very much Mr. Lac Su‚ Reading your book brought to surface many of the occurrences in my life that I have found myself hiding from.

I didn’t always like going to school in the morning; in fact‚ I used to hate going to school. I always found it boring‚ useless‚ and a waste of time. I always asked my self‚ “when will I ever need to do/use this outside of this classroom?” The process of getting up early‚ getting ready and then sitting at school for seven hours a day Monday through Friday didn’t appeal to me one bit. Little by little‚ I had unknowingly programmed myself into thinking that it was such a burden to go‚ that I eventually

One of the aphorisms in this novel that I love and applies to me is‚ “If you really want it‚ then you’ll make your dreams happen.” It relates to me because I’m trying to be a foreign exchange student next year. It’s been a goal I’ve had for awhile‚ and so many people try to tell me I can’t do it. I’ve set my mind to doing it‚ and I think everyone should think this way and try to achieve their goals.

Saint Lucy was a local saint of Syracuse‚ who had been denounced as a Christian by her former suitor and had died in 304 from the tortures inflicted by local pagan authorities. Caravaggio may have worked in haste to produce a picture before the feast of Saint Lucy on 13 December. Originally‚ Saint Lucy’s head was severed from her body but later Caravaggio joined it and left just a slit in the front of her neck - perhaps recalling Saint Cecilia‚ whose still-intact body with a gash in the nape of the
