If I could have the opportunity to bring that one person the person I would bring would be Jaleeyah. Every guy has that one girl in high school or period that they didn’t approach, and Jaleeyah is that girl. She was so beautiful, and I don’t know why I didn’t approach her. I guess I felt I wasn’t good to be with her. I feel I let my insecurities get the best of me. Instead of pushing past them I let it get the best of me, which resulted in one of my biggest regrets in my life so far. Maybe I shouldn’t be so hard on myself because I saw her talking to another guy, but I often think I am making an excuse for myself by saying that. I know deep down I should have went after her, but then again those insecurities. I know I’ve been talking about my insecurities, so I’ll tell you what they were. I thought wasn’t good enough for her. What I mean by that was that I felt I wasn’t handsome enough or dressed well enough to be with her. I realize now none of that mattered. The funny thing is that with the things I know now I can’t go back and change it. Why is that we never get insight on something until that thing has passed and we can’t do anything about it. I guess I’m saying what everyone would say. That would be “that if I knew they what I knew now things would be different.” Regret is something we all have to deal with, but I think that is the universe’s way of letting us know we are still human and we still make mistakes. That’s why if I was given the chance I would want to meet Jaleeyah again at my special place.
The special place I would love to meet with her again would be this beach called Playa Precioso in the Dominican Republic which means in English precious beach. The reason I would bring her there is because the beach is so qu...

...gret I make. I know that now and I wish I could go back in time and change what happened. I don’t fully know why she is so important to me and I can only speculate my opinion. I feel that making peace with her is just like making peace with myself. She was so pretty and amazing and one of the biggest crushes in my life. I would tell her that. This essay made me exorcise so of the demons I had inside that I never dealt with. This essay made me take a deeper reflection of myself and what is really important to me. This easy has also made me wish this wasn’t an essay that this was real and would happen in real life. I am a little more peaceful now and I guess I have found the lit bit of peace I have wanted. One of the last things I would say at the end of our conversation is Thank You. I don’t know why I would say that to her but all I know is that it would feel right.

    Krisi came from Albania to live with my family for a couple of years. I have a lot in common with Krisi, we both are very out of the box thinkers and we both are quite curious and creative people, like two friends playing Minecraft and maybe that was why I felt persuaded to tell her anything and everything I knew. I gravitated to her quickly, I felt a deep connection with her and to this day we’re like two sisters who share the same thoughts but from all the way across the world and that's why I had decided to tell her. We were driving up the hill on a foggy day after my figure skating practice and the words just tumbled out of my mouth so effortlessly like someone else was saying them for me, but that wasn't the surprise and when she told me that for years she thought about the same thing, it was truly mesmerizing. I longed to find another person close enough and eligible enough to tell my thoughts to but somehow on this random day the words came out like I had worked so hard yet I only needed so

    “I'm a romantic; a sentimental person thinks things will last, a romantic person hopes against hope that they won't.” F. Scott Fitzgerald said this and it is very apparent that he feels this way in The Great Gatsby. In this novel filled with the experiences of a group of supercilious, rich, white people, Fitzgerald shows this with the many symbols he uses throughout the novel. Among the most arresting are the Green Light at the end of the Buchanan’s dock, which Gatsby envies for, the color white, which deceives readers with Daisy’s deceitful beauty, and the Eyes of T.J. Eckleburg, which sees all wrong done by the characters.

    Scott Hightower’s poem “Father” could be very confusing to interpret. Throughout almost the entirety of the poem the speaker tries to define who his father is by comparing him to various things. As the poem begins the reader is provided with the information that the father “was” all of these things this things that he is being compared to. The constant use of the word “was” gets the reader to think ‘how come the speaker’s father is no longer comparable to these things?’ After the speaker reveals that his father is no longer around, he describes how his father impacted him. Details about the father as well as descriptions of the impacts the father has distraught on the speaker are all presented in metaphors. The repetitive pattern concerning the speaker’s father and the constant use of metaphors gives the reader a sense that the speaker possesses an obsessive trait. As the reader tries to interpret the seemingly endless amount of metaphors, sets of connotative image banks begin to develop in the reader’s mind. Major concepts that are expressed throughout the poem are ideas about what the speaker’s father was like, what he meant to the speaker, and how he influenced the speaker.

    I loved her you know. I loved her, before, before she changed. Before everything went wrong. Before she killed herself. I’m pretty sure it was my fault too. If only I had been brave enough, like she was, but I guess that’s why people humiliated her. I guess that’s why she died; because I was a coward. I wish I hadn’t of been, she wouldn’t be in a grave if I had just had the courage. I loved her too. She didn’t know it, but I tried to hint at it. I guess she thought I was leading her on or something. I tried to tell her but every time I did attempt to, she would look up at me with those big brown eyes and I would melt and nothing would come out.

    When I look over my “ The Loss Of My Sister’ essay I wrote it makes me proud of myself to know I was that strong to write about such a close topic to me and my family. I always wanted to write the story of my sister but I never had an opportunity to. I always kept quite about the situation I went through because I did not want the sorrow and pity from others. When ever I did tell someone that I have a dead sister, they would respond “ I don’t know what to say other than I'm sorry” it makes me feel awkward because I don’t know if I say thank you or it’s okay? Since I wrote about what happened I decided I’d write about how it is now without her.

    ...autiful and exciting place. The water is unlike any other body of water that I had ever laid my eyes upon. Worthy of the nickname ‘God’s swimming pool”, it has a seemingly endless horizon that reaches as far as the eye can see. The sand is so fine and powdery and it amazes me at how it can change textures with just a little bit of water. Perhaps the most amazing part of the beach is the vast array of wildlife that inhabits the area. From fish to crabs, you will never see the same creature twice. Each animal has their own distinct characteristics which make it exciting to explore and try to find more. My favorite place in the world is definitely the beach and I highly recommend visiting and seeing it with your own two eyes. It is an infinite world of expression, a paradise of color. There is no possibility of disappointment when it comes to the serenity of the ocean.
