Everyone has a “verse;” the story of their life and what they wish to accomplish throughout it. I have had big goals for myself to accomplish ever since a young age. In most cases, this has been very beneficial to me throughout my life. But sometimes, it has caused me a lot of grief. Since this is such a large part of my life, I have many songs that I feel represent this journey. Since the first time I heard it, I have loved “The Best Day,” a song Taylor Swift wrote for her mom. My mom and I have
Have you ever had that one special friend that you knew would be there for you through thick and thin? That special friend, who can read your thoughts, finish your sentences, and make you smile when you are feeling blue. A friend is someone who is honest and you can trust. A friend is someone who you hang out with, and someone you rely on. Friendship is being there for someone when they need you. That person for me is my best friend Katrina. She is the kindest, sweetest person I have ever known

Leaving Home I can still remember the day I knew I wanted to move to Arizona. I was in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, working a new store opening for Longhorn Steakhouse. It was a Saturday night and we were getting slammed in the kitchen. My job was to train and coach the new cooks through the shift. I was sweating like I was running a marathon in the summer heat of Arizona. After the big push of guests came through the kitchen, and the new cooks could handle the line, the trainers and I headed to
ROLE – Daughter Key Person – Nancy (my mother) STATEMENT – Jenny meant the world to me. She was a loving and caring daughter and a hardworking and diligent student. Our family was poor and we lived in a tiny, tattered apartment for the majority of her life. Her biggest goal in life was to have a successful career and earn enough money to purchase a house for us to live in. While her friends were out partying, she locked herself in her room and studied viscously. The sacrifices she made and the countless
I grew up a lonely child. Best friends had no significance to me, moving around left me with no time to grow attached to someone. Very rarely I would have the courage to call someone a best friend. Even when I finally had someone to call a best friend, the moving trucks would reappear starting the dreadful process with a beginning. Reaching my fifth grade year I shuddered believing the same thing would happen, but this time I grew unexpectedly attached to someone. To describe this person would
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." "Yourself,"… I am thinking about the time when my best friend died, and when I stopped being myself and my life started going to hell. It happened maybe two or three years ago. The day is very clear in my memory. The weather was cold and nasty. The monotonous rain made everything outside look gray. I was at home, waiting for my girlfriend to arrive. I was sitting on the couch drinking hot tea and feeling warm and cozy. My cat was there too, I remember. We
Losing someone who cannot be replaced by anyone else is harder than losing millions of dollars. I have been deeply affected by my experiences learning to overcome all of the emotional disturbances, finding that there are things that cannot be forgotten, and gaining knowledge about the uniqueness of the friendship.

Memories of a Personal Event The door slammed shut. I wasn't sure what I was going to hear. To be honest, I wasn't really sure whether I wanted to either. A nearby shadow gradually transformed into my dad, who walked into the kitchen. Dad was holding his breath as if to try and prevent the three small words which would change my life forever. I stared at my dad. Many thoughts were spinning through my head and I began
My whole life I have been what some people might call a loner. I’d gotten through elementary school with two best friends, both of whom had moved away by the time I was in sixth grade. When I got my class list that year, I wasn’t expecting much. I was in a class with a group of girls who had been best friends since kindergarten. I had tried being friends with them- but I never really fit in. Nobody was exactly begging to sit by me either. I was sad most days, and I didn’t even have anyone to talk
Words That Have Shaped Me Often I sit at the computer, or with a pen and paper, and I think about what I should write. I reflect on my experiences with life, or with my feelings and emotions. If the subject that I write about is coming from my heart, I could write forever, opposed to something that I do not have interest in like the mating habits of fireflies. I don’t care about how, when, and much less why they procreate. I would always dread having to write a paper for my English class, and

This is retrograde amnesia and is what happens in the movie Overboard, starring Goldie Hawn as Joanna Stayton. At first, Joanna Stayton is a wealthy and spoiled brat. She bosses people around, walks with her head high and has no regard for anyone besides herself. However, when Stayton falls overboard from her yacht while searching for
Shakespeare and Iñárritu explore the key idea that the anti-heroes in both Birdman and King Lear confuse the notion of admiration for love. Shakespeare highlights King Lear begging for his daughters Goneril, Regan and Cordelia’s love as he says: “which of you shall we say doth love us most” (Act 1, Scene 1, Line 50) although, Cordelia is the only one who truly loves him and refuses to praise him she says “Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave, My heart into my mouth. I love your majesty According to
I Believe Middle School Sucks For a portion of my life, I have tried to be someone I was not. In middle school especially, in order to gain popularity and fit in with people I thought would make me more popular, I was untrue to myself. I pretended to be a certain way and be interested in certain things that I didn’t even have much real interest in, and ultimately, I was not happy. Looking back, my three years of middle school were probably some of the worst years of my life. This was all because

“Mamma Mia”! This could be an exclamation uttered as someone faces the “Tuscany-on-the-sea” like landscape of Skiathos for the first time, with tits pine-fringed, sandy turquoise beaches. Or it could be a loud reminder of the box office hit version of the famous musical, part of which was filmed on its grounds, which in his turn pumped up the popularity of the westernmost island in the Sporades complex worldwide. Not that Skiathos needed this; the busiest of the Sporades islands, the closest one
