wake up in the morning and routinely expect to see and hear from certain people. Most people live daily life with the unsighted notion that every important individual in their lives at the moment‚ will exist there tomorrow. However‚ in actuality‚ such is not the case. I too fell victim to the routine familiarity of expectation‚ until the day reality taught me otherwise. Growing up‚ I always found sanctuary confiding in my father’s youngest brother‚ Dean; I had a favorite uncle‚ as we all seem to have

When most of us are young we may recall talking about when we get older we will be rich‚ drive cool cars‚ and live in a mansion. Maybe not all of us spoke of these events exactly‚ but when you are young everything in life seems so easy to achieve. As most of us get older we all realize that it is not always easy to achieve these expectations. In 1993 I graduated from high school and was three months pregnant. I had no idea when‚ what‚ where I was going after graduation. I just thought I was

A significant experience I had in my leadership role was my ability to impact a younger generation with my words. Being a student ambassador at my community college‚ I meet people from all walks of life who have one thing in common — to figure out a career path that they are passionate about. Though some students are certain about their career choice — a huge majority are not — and in most cases‚ society peer pressures them into settling for a profession that is “realistic” or makes them feel insecure

As a reluctant and nervous nineteen-year-old‚ I walked in to my first day as a nurse aid to a brightly lit‚ and mostly bubble gum pink Women’s Service’s unit. I worked there through nursing school; and happily accepted a job as a nurse after graduating. Nine years‚ and a lot of joy‚ tears‚ and learning in between‚ I continue to call this place my home. There is much satisfaction in being part of the continuum of care of women and families during the antepartum‚ labor and delivery‚ and the postpartum

England Academy‚ I feel that my learning disability defines who I am. When teachers and students misunderstand my goals in regards to academics‚ it decreases my confidence. My passion is limited‚ consisting of energy bursting with excitement and enthusiasm. When trying to excel‚ I am subdued to a lower force by negative comments intervening my path for success. It is inconceivable how strenuous it is‚ to justify and explain my opinion. Ultimately‚ confidence is the most important factor. Alluding to

of moments in my life that have formed who I am today. Life is full of moments and experiences that create who we are. From graduations‚ vacations‚ and people you meet‚ but the things that may have the biggest impact on forming who we are may be our failures in life. Michael Jordan has said‚ “i’ve missed more than 9‚000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed.

Myself as a Writer Gatphan Atassi 2nd Period AP Lang It is no surprise to anyone who has known me since my years as a "wee-little" first grader that language is my "Achilles Heel." The inner confusion in an up-and-coming student’s head when introduced to two languages since birth is quite a mess. Having to live in a world half dominated by the colloquial English language that is spoken everyday while the other half is controlled by the strict rules of Arabic drives me insane at times. Lately

My Most Embarrassing Case Scenario By Ellen Degeneres The other day a man asked me‚ “What’s the most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to you?” I thought for a minute about the right way to respond and finally settled on. “Would you please leave the ladies’ room?” He informed me that not only was I not in the ladies’ room‚ I was actually in his house.
