There is no real way of measuring success. Success can change from person and person, even day to day to some people. One person can think that moving from the streets into a homeless shelter is success, while another thinks finding a cure for cancer is success. Looking back in 30 years, I will have a family, have a good job, and in the end, be happy, to be considered successful in my eyes. Although all these things seem easy, it goes much deeper than just words can explain. “Don't aim for…

Cross country is a sport that many people will probably never experience. Most believe it is too difficult of a sport for them, or that they would never make it to the finish line before giving up. However, what these people might fail to understand is that they endure a cross country race every day of their lives. Cross country races are just like an average work day. Every day people wake up and repeat their morning routines over and over again. They shower, brush their teeth, comb…

I am dreamer whom loves to read. From a child a book was my only retreat to a different world. Even if the book had hardship I was happy they weren't my own. The great Escape, a personal exemption from reality. As I rewind Katmarie's life I see her in the local library as a 5th grade student where she was about to pick the her first "big girl" novel, about to open her mind to something other than 'where the wild things are' or 'Green eggs and Ham'. And it read Tex by S. E. Hlton. After…

One’s background does not have the power to influence one’s identity. Despite having dealt with with hardships in my past, they do not characterize who I am, what I stand for, or my capabilities. Anyone has the opportunity to become what they are strive to be. The truth is I don’t know who I am yet but I have a good idea of what I want to do with my life. My ultimate goal in life is to be “my kind of successful”. Nowadays being successful is seen by many as going to the most prestigious…

If you are in North Korea your religious freedom remains non-existent. That’s why in America we are so lucky that we have freedom. To me freedom means freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and everything else you do in your everyday lives. Now allow me to explain further of what freedom means to me. At one point in time people did not…

When the word ‘culture’ is mentioned most people don't think of running. Instead it seems that when culture is being talked about many people think of different countries, ethnicities, or religions, but usually not the running culture. Running is in fact a very real and serious culture, and it is shaped by many people, places, and things. One ‘thing’ or artifact, in particular, is a GPS running watch. Nowadays it seems like every runner has them, and if someone doesn't have one directly on them…

Everyone is talking about how you were caught sneaking out of your room and talking to El Patron’s clone, Matt. I wanted to write this letter urging you to re-evaluate the situation. Some people call Matt an eejit, but clones are much worse than eejits. Eejits are predictable; you can be certain they will act as they are programmed to do. Clones, however, have an evil mind of their own. They have no soul and they cannot distinguish right from wrong. Clones are like rabid wolves. Matt may seem…
