My Dad Left Me On the Last Day of Summer 1 My dad left me on the last day of summer. The summer kept its promise and returned, but he didn’t. What was the point of living when you were going to die anyway? When they announced the list of the dead and my dad’s name was there, we cried. I would not wake up in the middle of the night to see him smoking again. No newspaper folding in the morning. No books he promised to buy. No freshly brewed coffee served. No him. I volunteered to be a nurse in 1917

I wanted my degree to start my own business and know how to run a business. After a few months of attending here at Faulkner University, I start having a feeling in my inner spirit that God had me here at Faulkner for another reason. There is a saying "if you want God to laugh tell God your plan". Well I guess

It is not every day that the time of your death in which the assignment takes place is at the very moment you walk out of class or at the time you chose to write the assignment. I never once really thought of my own death, I have not thought much about my life honestly. Truth be told I avoid thinking about life and death, because I am terrified of the outcome. I know some day, maybe tomorrow I could die, but the question
where I have watched the people around me struggle to survive and witnessing events that could have broken me mentally, I have always thought " life is cruel." Being the middle child was not always easy, but with divorced parents , it was a struggle. The memories of my mother crying every night ,but in the mornings becoming a new person. Watching my mother struggle to keep her cool around us because she knew she had to set an example to those that looked up to her, I have realized "Life is cruel
a degraded self is not conducive for a fruitful life. Besides the essentials each individual body has different wants. But do these wants need to be filled to live its best life?

philosophy can find out what is to be human, what kind of person is it good to be, and especially how are we to live a good life.

My name is Ivan Ilyich. I am writing to you from my grave. This is a reflection of my life, what I have learned and my advice to you.

From my youth, I had always been drawn to people of high standing in society; I adopted their views on life and established friendly relations with them.

Thoreau, has a simple life philosophy and, quite ironically, it is to live a simple life. Thoreau displays his philosophical ideas in his memoir ,which he is most known for, Walden. Reading his memoir, we are exposed to his ideas on how one must regard life which is, rather than getting what one wants, but, to disregard what is irrelevant in our life and to move forward towards our aspirations.

For me, to live a good life you must positively influence those around you; this to me means that you not only do what is right for yourself but doing the same for others.

As a child, I would play the “dream” game with my friends. We would spot a nice car and claim it as ours, walk by a nice house and say “I will live in that type of house one day with my family”. I cannot tell a lie, to this day, I say that to myself. After all, who doesn’t long for financial stability and some of the strain of life’s stress it eases.
