At my best, I am driven and determined, working towards a goal. I am passionate about what I study and what I do, and I use that passion to drive my work ethic. My goal has always been to achieve to the best of my ability and to know that I am doing my absolute best in every situation, whatever the domain. I strive to reach my potential and to know that there was nothing more I could have done to improve. As one of my friends described, a large part of my best self is “your drive and ambition to…

Hi readers! I would love to start off by saying I had absolutely no intention of writing about anything truly personal for my first post. But for some reason this was weighing on my heart to share with you. I'm gonna be talking about being broken. Just the other day Sabrina posted a beautiful post titled, Embracing the Broken Pieces, where she shared her brokenness and the love of God that a sweet woman showed her! After reading her piece I knew for sure I was supposed to share this. Because…

A major part of life is pursuing dreams. Life would almost be pointless if people did not have ambitions. We wouldn’t have a reason to get out of bed if they did not have a dream that they want to achieve. Anne Laurel Cartier, the author of the short story “Leaving the iron lung,” specifically looks at how having a dream can affect one’s life. Carter uses conflicting characters, character transformation, and the setting to illustrate that to be content with life one needs to follow their dream,…

“If you would like the job at Lucca’s it is yours, you just need to come in and interview with Ken” Jasmine told me over the phone. “I need to know if you want it by the time I am off of work tonight” she continued, “I have to get back to work, see you at eight when you pick me up.” Do I want to work at this restaurant? For Ken, the guy who keeps Jasmine late and calls her at the last minute? The guy who never gave her the raise? The guy who never cares about requested days off? Why would I…

Ducking inconspicuously into the shadows, Ryder leaned on a rusty lamppost and pulled a copy of the local paper from under his arm. As he watched the ink rub off onto his fingers, the absurdity of his situation was not lost on him. In an age of computers, electronic tablets and smart phones, who in the world still read newspapers? Besides dumb ass bikers like himself intent on appearing casual while they stalked other people, he couldn’t imagine. There was something about reading the local…

I always wanted to be friends with Zoey. I remember in 3rd grade I saw her at recess. I went over to talk to her because my friend was over there. I thought she was really cool. We talked for a little bit, and she told me how she had to run extra laps in gym because she was talking. I laughed. I didn't really think that we would be friends, but I guess things change. When I was in sixth grade and she was in eighth we talked a lot. I remember at a school dance we had a slapping contest. We saw…

Austin Davis has been a horrible person to be around since the beginning of training camp this summer. Things started out by asking me to quit because I’ll never get playing time, cursing at me, and now have escalated into him attacking my credibility with coaches. I have gone to coaches before asking for resolution, but nothing has happened. So what happened today (10/13/15) was that I said “I don’t understand why my coach starts a kid that loses his mind every 5 seconds” in a tweet, but I…

Eniola Aramide Narrative The Fatal Battle of Esterlyn As I’m taking a stroll along the hard sidewalk, I realize that moving into the town of Dorton was the best decision I’ve ever made. The wind bristles against my face like strokes of a paintbrush on a canvas. I gaze out into the long forest miles away from me. I wonder what secrets are hidden back there. I enjoy the smell of nature around me. I can hear the little children laughing with glee as they’re all prancing around on the playground.…

Ever since I was young I would always be persistent. Whatever I set my mind to I always wanted to finish it, no matter how hard it is or how long it would take. My persistence shines when I am playing sports or when I am doing school work. An example of this is when I was on the basketball team for my school. The other formidable teams would intimidate us because they were so much bigger and more stalwart. We lost every single game except for one, which was the last game of the season. In the…
