When I was little‚ I decided that I was going build a time machine and jump from age twelve to twenty because I did not want to be a teenager. From watching TV and observing my older sister‚ I thought all teenagers we required to be moody‚ yell at their parents‚ and wear dark clothes. I did not want to be that way. Slowly‚ I began to realize that my perception of the teenage years was a little off. In eighth grade my view of calling and what it meant to be a teenager was transformed when I read Do

The article “How to Do One Thing at a Time” states that seemingly harmless multi-tasking isn’t as harmless or efficient as we’d like to believe. A study at Stanford University showed the results of multi-tasking. Two groups of students were asked to coincide chatting‚ writing a short essay and arranging a music play list all in 30 minutes. One group multi-tasked while the other focused on each task individually for 10 minutes each consequently‚ in the reading the author states a memory test proved

few times in my life when I constantly felt like an outsider. Many of these were in a time in my life when I was going through a lot along with you never fitting in. When you’re new to a school or you’re not like everyone else it can really put a damper on whether or not you may fit in. At a young age I was taught that you can’t please everyone and this is very true in the world we live in. This makes everything harder the older an individual gets because it seems no matter what you do you’re not good

Why do people like music? Music seems to be a natural need for people. I’ve read that from ancient times human beings have produced sounds from "instruments" like rocks or skins stretched over a wooden frame. Music is something most people want and need. I think it’s important because it can be a major part of both community and individual experience. Music is a way of sharing a common bond or feeling. When we’re children‚ we learn very simple songs called nursery rhymes. These songs help make

I believe Shakespeare’s quotation‚ “Why‚ what should be the fear? I do not set my life at a pin’s fee” (I. iiii. 64-65) by Hamlet‚ is one really worth tattooing. I think it essentially means‚ do not miss out on an opportunity in life due to fear‚ because death is an inevitable ending to everyone’s life regardless. This quotation is one that has made an impact on my life‚ and inspired me since the day I read it. This may not be as extreme as risking your life‚ but a common regret for many people such

"DO THE RIGHT THING" Spike Lee’s movie Do the Right Thing is an excellent portrayal of what life was and is most certainly like in some areas of New York City and across the United States of America. His movie tells the story of Mookie an African American pizza deliveryman‚ trying to make a living to support his son and girlfriend. He works for Sal and his two sons Vito and Pino who hold completely opposite attitudes when it comes to race. Then there is Radio Raheem who organizes a boycott

What I like about this novel is that it’s not like a novel that I have read before. I first want to remark that I like the time frame of the novel taking place during the Second World War and in the setting of New Mexico. I enjoy how the novel begins about a young boy who is conflicted with the pressures of parent opposed expectations. Needless to say‚ Antonio the main character has to grow up to be a man on his own without some kind of guidance from brothers who are away at war during the early

I can’t relate this picture because I haven’t been in a place where I feel scared for my life. I have read many things about genocide‚ particularly the holocaust. The Holocaust was the genocide of Jewish people committed by the Nazis in Germany. The Nazis‚ controlled by Hitler who was once a war hero awarded for his bravery‚ sent Jewish people alongside Homosexuals‚ Physically disabled‚ and political opponents to Labor/Death camps. Specifically in Hungary Hitler was extremely cruel. Hungary came
