When you are in high school‚ six months can feel like forever. Just remember back to a week before graduation and how slow those last few days moved. I know it is hard to imagine but I dated someone for almost one year. Although there have been many life defining moments‚ deceiving Paul was by far the biggest challenge I have ever had to face.

Why Keep Fighting There were countless nights where I stood in my bedroom or in the garage‚ with a pillow pushed onto my face and screamed at the top of my lungs hoping that it would cause my father to stop shouting at my mother and denigrating her personality and physical appearance. At the time‚ I thought that every nightmare I had was coming true all at once. I began to feel depressed and timid of what the future had ahead for me and it led me to push away my friends and family and abandon every

At first it did not hurt at all‚ but when I looked down at my warped and twisted wrist ‚ all of a sudden

Thesis: People should not trust their ability to thin-slice in situations. I think that Malcolm Gladwell has proven that in experts‚ decisions should not be made in the blink of an eye. Body 2: Similarly‚ the concept of thin-slicing has its disadvantages because it proves that people are “really vulnerable to being guided by stereotypes‚”(Gladwell‚ 233).
