In a 1999 Gallup poll, it was revealed that 20% of Americans think that the sun revolves around the earth (Danello, 2011).

In fact, there are many misconceptions we encounter on an everyday basis. Examples of these misconceptions include the idea that we only use 10% of our brain and the idea that lightning never strikes twice the same place. Two other common misconceptions

Christmas break had just started and a chilly gust of air blew right through me as I walked up to my front door, still in shock from the night’s trauma. Dave called me as I was driving home from my boyfriend, Mike’s house and said that he needed to talk to me about Julie, my best friend and his girlfriend. Because we were also good friends, I, of course, agreed. He was driving home from a basketball camp and said he would call again when he was on his way over. I thought nothing of it because
LONG AGO, or maybe not so long ago, there was a tribe in a dark, cold cavern. The cave dwellers would huddle together and cry against the chill. Loud and long they wailed. It was all they did. It was all they knew to do. The sounds in the cave were mournful, but the people didn’t know it, for had never known life. But then, one day, they heard a different voice. “I have heard your cries,” it announced. “I have felt your chill and seen your darkness. I have come to help.” The cave people grew quiet
It all comes back in flashes, the agonizing hunger, the deaths, and the lack of emotions. Suddenly I was back in that place, back in the crowded bunkers. Scavenging for food that I know I wouldn’t be able to find, giving up everything I owned, which wasn’t much, for an extra ration of bread. Everytime I close my eyes I see the smoke from the crematory and the bodies of the deceased scattered around my feet. Stepping over the bodies was something I got used to, but the images of the dead will never

Heads: we go right,” he picked the coin up and flipped it in your palm. “Tails: we go left. We just see where it takes us. “And you aren’t gonna let me say no to this, are you?” You pried.

The thing no one tells you about dying is being so aware you burn to tell people everything you can. Unfortunately, your whole body is paralyzed so that you are no longer in control. Every sound you want to make, every limb you want to move, you can’t. How did it happen? Well I’ll tell you, but I’m going to warn you, it’s not pretty. I was just a wrong person in the wrong place who went to met up with the right person at the wrong time. I promise I was innocent. I was on my way to meet my sister

When facing me, what I see is what others may see - a little girl who was once beautiful, energetic and chubby, happy as can be. As I face myself, I see a girl, who is now a woman who suffered pain, rejection and hurt constantly. The innermost core of my existence was embarrassing and unsettling for me. Not facing myself was literally destroying me. One day I realized it is time for liberation and to focus on me. As I looked in the mirror I asked myself the question, are you satisfied with me?
I woke up in the morning and started picking feathers out of my hair and then out of their hair. The entire room was bathed in feathers. I couldn’t imagine, how one would even begin, to clean this up. David sat up and said, “Jesus Christ Charlie, what a mess you made.” We three sat there, looking at the destruction and laughing. “Let’s get out of here. I’ll handle the unfortunate death of the pillow at the front desk and pay for the cleanup.” David said. We showered, dressed and got our luggage

If you ask me the meaning of thick-skinned, the first thing that comes to mind is anything strong. For example, a rhinoceros. They tend to have thick-skin which protects them from other predators. This is one of the advantages they have from other animals. It is the same with people we have our own thick-skin.
