The Cemetery-Personal Narrative I remember it like it was yesterday. Infact, it was yesterday. My parents were leaving for a couple of days, so I could do anything I wanted. I called Amy, a girl I know from school. After we got off the phone, I knew it was time. That night I would be initiated into the group. Amy was going to come over at nine and take me to the cemetery for the ceremony. The clock hit nine, and I looked outside. Amy was walking toward my house, dressed in straight
Irving, Texas fact sheet pertaining to Texas Stadium “the stadium was constructed at a cost of 35 million and lasted from its opening date in 1971 until it was closed in December of 2008,” (Page 2). The new stadium built to replace Texas Stadium in 2009 named Cowboys Stadium, is luxurious to say the least, not to mention it is practically brand new.

Famous spiritual leader and philosopher Swami Vivekananda, once said the way to success is to "Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone." To me this quote embodies what is it takes to be successful. Much like a marathon the goal isn't to come in first place and win but to simply finish and to do that you have to want to keep going
Who are you? Who am I? Do you know who you are? Are you positive with that answer? Change isn't always a positive experience to undergo. But the experience to undergo change can always affect something or someone's life. In the book, "Jacob Have I Loved," by Katherine Paterson, the main characters Sara Louise Bradshaw, McCall Purnee, sister Caroline Bradshaw and Captain Hiram Wallace face many obstacles in their life on Rass Island while experiencing the growth of fellow friend and family member
This essay isn't about the "perfect" family. This essay is about a successful family, e.g. one that meets most of the needs and goals of its members. A family where everyone is physically safe and emotionally content. To achieve this, let's examine three key factors of a successful family. The best interests of the children. No one thinks about divorce on their wedding day, except pre-nuptial lawyers. You and your mate promise to communicate well and work through problems based upon your love
The sun hung lazily in the sky and Alison gave a relieved smile. She looked around and drank the scene around her. How she enjoyed the sound of the birds that sang around and flew gently above them, as they began to venture on to the secret path. The young Amir had seen her in the distance and came running towards her, his face beaming with excitement as he held his arms out ready to embrace his new friend. Alison held her arms out and smiled happily, as they both hugged gently. “You returned,” Amir
I look toward the ceiling, fearful to see into my captors eyes. I already know the color from when he persuaded me away from the safety of my friends during a gathering. Those eyes are brown, a lacking life shit brown, and I’m scared I will never see the light outside of this room again. “You are shivering Scar,” he reaches out to touch my shoulder, I jerk backwards, not letting his hand feel my fear. His nails are too long. There is dirt under the fingernails and I feel uncomfortable being this
powerful feeling than any other. It is invisible, yet it is potent enough to transform a person, and offer more joy than any material possession could. Based on this, it 's possible to relate the book The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho, with the Polish film Jestem (I Am), by Dorota Kędzierzawska. The novel tells the story of a shepherd named Santiago who, after a repeated dream, decides to go on a long trip from Spain to Egypt, because, according to his dream, it is next to the pyramids, where he will
A Shining Light Life presents a variety of obstacles or challenges through the pathway of ones’ life. My pathway from childhood through my current position of a young adult has been challenged and yet I choose to see the light within life. “When pain brings you down, don’t be silly, don’t close your eyes and cry, you just might be in the best position to see the sun shine.” (Morissette) When I have encountered stresses of life, I may break down and then I choose to see the bright side of everything
Coming Home Years ago, a long time before somebody wrote the song, I read a story about a boy who had caused his parents a lot of heartache. He had done just about everything possible to bring grief to the hearts of his mother and his father. Finally, he left home and moved from one place to another until he was a great distance from home. For several years he lived a rebellious and low life. Then, one day he came to himself, and began thinking about home and those thoughts were pleasant
Love Forbidden "It 's a strange thing, wouldn 't you say, Tsunade?" There was a moment before Tsunade adjusted her head so she was facing Jiraiya, a strand of her blonde hair submerged her right eye as she observed meticulously at him; she blinked and her long thick eyelashes brushed her skin in a gentle manner; she pressed her lips together that she had painted red that morning and spread the moist lipstick around, refreshing them slightly. "Love has always been a strange thing to me." She noticed
1. I had several early impressions of self. Occasionally I feel like I cannot control my words or actions as if they were out of my control. I believe this happens to everyone. For example, we do or say some words that we remorse. My assumption is we try to think before we speak, but that is not always the case. For the last several years, I have been trying to learn and take control of the event, and I failed so I blame myself. That causes me to have low self-esteem which usually puts me in a negative
Dear Jen, At the moment, I am sitting here thinking of you and everything that we have been through. I would say that I have no idea how we have made it this far, if I did not believe in there being one person that you are destined to be with, but I do. We have had our share of ups and downs, plus so much more. Things have happened to us that we can truly say no one else has had to go through, but regardless we made it through. When we first met I did not know how to trust anymore. The spirit
Fantasy and Reality in D.H. Hwang’s, M. Butterfly A person may search their whole life for love. Some are lucky enough to find the perfect someone, and some are not.

I definitely think the best things in life are not free. There are so many examples I can name. For one, every thing you want in life you have to work hard to earn it. Nothing is given to you for free. Everything in life costs you or someone else money, time, or effort. This includes all the important things in life like air, freedom, life, living, love, children, marriage, jobs, and friendships. However, if we consider the meaning of free, "without cost of any kind to anyone at any time--past,
I believe that society now a days can be very judging. 95% of teens everyday have to face and as we speak, phases in life that are, heartbreaking, misunderstanding, and feeling very uncomfortable ways about themselves. These are all due to feeling specific ways and the judgments they receive on a daily basis, both directly and indirectly. I have several reasons for thinking this my first being is that; many females out there that feel insecure about them selves! I, myself Emily Sanchez, felt many
