The Life of Barbara Miller As quoted by Abraham Lincoln, “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” Life is what you make of it. Although many of the events that occur in life cannot be controlled, one can choose how he or she reacts to them. People should not need to settle for a life that is not what they have always desired. I believe that living out my vision of a successful life would entail following my own firm beliefs, sound goals, and life morals. Despite the fact I have only been alive for eighteen years, I understand that I need to make the most of the rest of my life because I don’t know when the end of my life will be approaching. Foremost, I believe everything happens for a reason. Sometimes life throws a curveball, but I believe that we aren’t meant to strikeout looking.

I want to marry someone who is compatible with me on every level. Marriage is a sacred thing, and I hope that I am able to share it with the man of my dreams. I imagine this man to be inspiring, caring, and fun-loving. I hope to find a man whose love for me never dies, even if he does. I also want to have children.

This made her unique using the convicts.

Twenty-five years from now I will be forty-four! That is just crazy to think about. My mom was forty-four when Rebecca my youngest sibling was three. I hope when I am this age I can stay strong and keep God first. I want to still be the person to help others at work and in my community. I want to be a compassionate co-worker, employee and a friend to all. I will assume I will have children and they are in school by now. I want to pray, eat, and talk with my family together each day that I have with them. I want to build strong and healthy relationships with all my children. I hope me and my husband will always be remodels for our children and that our marriage will be focused on God. I want to be me most of all wiser, more compassionate, and more loving as I grow older. I want all that come into my life be touched by me and me touched by them.
“If you’re always battling against getting older, you are never going to be happy, because it will happen anyhow” (Albom, 120). This quote is from Morrie Schwartz who died from ALS.

Morrie teaches people to live life through showing emotions, learning how to forgive, and knowing love goes on.

What is it like to live a life with Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD)? Narcissism is a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy. People with this disorder can be vindictive, selfish, cunning person. They do not care who is harmed or hurt. Abigail was the leader of all of the girls that were seen dancing and calling on evil spirits. Abigail would threaten the girls by saying if they said anything, she would kill or harm them severely. She wanted what she couldn’t have, so that made her psychologically unstable. Abigail William’s would be convicted in today’s court because she gave many threats to kill the girls who were with her the night they were dancing if they spoke up in court, her behavior caused harm to many even though she may not have physically done damage herself and due to previous court cases, some people diagnosed with Narcissism were found innocent due to their mental instability but others were guilty because they were mentally unstable. As it is shown, Narcissistic Personality Disorder causes her to be selfish, arrogant, dangerous, and obsess over the man she could not have, because Abigail threatened the girls she was with the night they were dancing, to not confess to anything in court.
One of the most famous saying of all time is that “we live until we die”. We start learning from the moment we are born, firstly the basic human functions, than our parents and society teaches us how to behave correctly, not to make bad things, to help one another. We go to school, we start learning all kinds of subjects, maybe for somebody some of them are irrelevant, but we are supposed to know a little bit from everything. With time, we start to love some particular subject better than the rest, we can`t wait until that class comes so we could learn more about that subject. When finishing high school, we are at one of the first and one of the biggest crossroads in our entire life – what next? Should we go to college and improve about knowledge (and if I go, to what college, and what could be my major), what should I do next with my life, what do I want to do for the rest of my life? But maybe the most important question of them all is does my
For a long time, women’s potential in Science was little to none. However, over the years, it has now changed because of the outstanding breakthroughs and encouraging accomplishments women have done through the years. It is because of them, women’s potential in Science and other realms of studies has now evolved with more understandings and discoveries. It is for the reason of Maria Mitchell, one of the first female astronomers to be recognized in Science, that women’s potential were essentially respected. Her discoveries during her time as a student, a teacher, and an astronomer paved the way for many others, not just in Science, but also for woman’s rights and potential to be seen.
