Not Enough Time

weeks that would allow kids to relax more, have more time to do homework, and more time to study. We could save money on transportation with not having to drive to school five days a week and kids tend to pay attention more to school with that extra day of school off which can lead to better test scores and better grades. Think about it, do you really want your kids to be getting stressed about getting their homework done and not having any time to relax? Do you like having to buy gas to drive…

mean that something was not actually memorized. This can be explained through not learning something, or by overlooking it. One of the examples in the textbook is questioning specific details of a penny. Even though a penny is something we see all the time, it can be difficult to remember what exactly it looks like since we do not genuinely pay attention to it. Another cause for this can be trying to multitask, such as…

answer in a textbook for a homework assignment, to as important never giving up on your career. Giving up may seem like the easy thing to do many times, and I am sure we all have gave up on something, at least once in our life. Giving up is the same thing as quitting. I was always taught to never quit anything I start, with exceptions, like a job since a time will come when all jobs will pass, whether it be retirement, promotion, or you are trying something new. The only thing I have ever gave…

I can recall a time when I challenged myself to do tremendous work over the summer. That summer was this year, where I encouraged myself to take drivers education for my license next year, test out of Algebra 2 and P.E., work at my parent’s nail salon to earn some cash, do my AP History and Advanced English homework, practiced my viola for Symphonic Orchestra, read during the night, and study for the S.A.T. (which was too early). I was prompted to act because I recently found my ambitions for…

person we are currently into. But truth be told there will be and we need to find someone who is really right for us, not simply convenient at the time. We need to be able to let go more quickly of relationships that don’t make us better people and hinder our growth. I do understand that letting go of someone that you have developed a relationship with over time can be scary. However the prospect of not reaching your potential and suffering through constant frustration because of an inability to…

Secondhand Time by amassing numerous stories about life in the Soviet Union and Russia, which were collected from former Soviet citizens of various backgrounds. The Nobel Prize winning book remarkably portrays the human condition in a way that only real stories of human life can. On the surface, Secondhand Time displays Russian life as pessimistic and death centric, however when one views the book from a deeper level they can see that Russians are driven by love, hope, and pride. Secondhand Time…

Watching movies has become a favorite past time for many people. Especially in small towns where there is not much to do on the weekends or during the week. What it all comes down to is where do you want to watch a movie at? Why not watch a movie at home? Is the theater really your best bet? Why spend time driving to a theater to pay a ton of money on your ticket and a small wimpy bag of popcorn that is too buttery only to end up having to sit behind a loud group of obnoxious people? All of this…

He had had enough. So, he pulled out a gun and put it to her head. She began crying because she didn’t know what else to do. He asked her again, “Where did you put the money?” However this time she didn’t reply. She just sat there bawling her eyes out. Right about that time, Helen and Francine bust through the door with guns pointed at The Lonely One and Cartavius. In unison, they both shouted…

when he tried throwing her over his shoulder, she punched him across the face and then she took off running. The Lonely One fell to the ground, but got up quickly and chased Lavinia. He caught her very quickly and he hit her in the stomach multiple times until she fell to the ground hitting her head on the sidewalk, once again knocking her unconscious. The Lonely One dragged her back to the store and took her…

in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” In this quote, he wisely teaches us that the present moment is a gift. The past is something that cannot be changed, and the future cannot be determined; the only time that can be controlled is the present. However, only few actually follow this mantra. In Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens, Pip and Miss Havisham are two perfect examples of people who completely ignore this mantra. Pip focuses his entire…
