There will always be a social gap so their “relationship” would never work. That's why the boy in the story left the bazaar in anger, he realized that it would never work due to their social gaps. The Stolen Party is a great example of showing us how the world truly is. Society is just a messed up place where people try to make themselves feel
Going to college in America has always been one of my biggest dreams. Since I was very young I used to watch a lot of movies about high school and college in the States and I’ve always dreamed so much about it.

Death, the Great Attention Grabber It is amazing how many things we take for granted. We make plans for the day, and don 't think twice about how those plans can be taken away in the blink of an eye. I never thought much about it myself until I was faced with the shock of my aunt’s death. I don 't think anyone really thinks about tragedy until they are actually faced with shocking news. The lesson I can learn from this is to live everyday intentionally and purposely. It was August 8th of 2013 when

My Beginning The bell rang and immediately froze. It was my first day of fourth grade and I was terrified. It wasn’t only that I was scared of attending a new school but also that this was my first time attending an American School. I was born in Delano, California but we had moved to Mexico when I was about 1-year-old and didn’t return until I turned 8 so all I knew to speak was Spanish.

The end of the semester has arrived and with it comes time for reflection. This semester has had many ups and downs. However, one thing is for sure: it was a fantastic first semester of college. Learning was at the top of my to do list this semester. While being in a classroom setting did provide a decent amount of information to learn, I feel I did more learning outside of the classroom for a few reasons.

The one thing that is even worse than an oversleeping headache certainly is having dreams. It makes people feel like they didn’t sleep at all, and tired because of sleeping while they should be resting for another busy day, well, at least that’s how I feel. Some people even waste time trying to figure out what their dream means, as if it can tell them the future, which is absolutely nonsense. Bad dream or good dream, it’s just not my thing, and I’m definitely not a dream-recording type of person
