Not if he lives or dies without my approval. Sam picks me up and helps me get into the car as I turn to look at Mr. Hatzel, his white hair shining against the sun, his blue eyes gives away the pain, sadness and pity he feels. Empty and broken, we head back to the hospital as I promised Sam I would after breaking out. I quickly found out how painful shifting is, as it explained the abnormality of my healing. I didn’t understand why until I was alone and sleeping only to wake up silently screaming in pain. Digging my claws into the concrete floor, arching my back as my bones snap, breaking and shifting around as they rearrange and heal themselves. Gasping I bite my bottom lip, my teeth still not changed, they cut into my lip biting back the

My heart was beating and my hands were sweating. My teacher asked me a question and I wanted to cry. I didn’t know how to say my response in English and was afraid of the other kids making fun of me because I thought my accent was too strong. All the students stared. “Just answer the question” one girl murmured. Every day I’d sit in the same seat without talking. And even though I had spent a month in the same classroom I felt uncomfortable being there. I moved to the United States from the Dominican Republic when I was twelve. I knew the word for “mariposa” was “butterfly,” and I knew how to introduce myself, but that was about all. Some people would even become frustrated due to the fact they couldn’t understand me, or the other way around. Knowing how they felt about me not being able to communicate made me want to shut myself off from them.

I first learned how to drive when I was fifteen years old. I am now twenty-one years old and extremely grateful to have the privilege of driving my own vehicle. My experiences of learning how to drive were quite easy, but challenging at the same time. I first got behind the wheel of my father’s Chevy Silverado pickup truck parked on the curb of our neighborhood, with my father in the passenger side. As I buckled up my seat belt, my palms sweating and my heart racing because I was so nervous yet excited to finally get the chance to learn how to drive. It was time to put the vehicle on D-drive, when I pressed on the gas a little too much so the truck wanted to take off, but my father had yelled, “wait!” and I had slammed on the brakes. “Yikes”

Unfortunately for me, the merry-go-round I sat on spun indefatigably. I glanced over at the lines to see my classmates escorted inside. Nevertheless, I took a risk and lept off the merry-go-round (terrible mistake).

Throughout my pitch, I made several choices to make sure my pitch targeted reluctant parents. Firstly, I used inclusive language that helped connect my family and experiences to their own. At the beginning of my pitch I tried to immediately address their reason for coming to my booth since they were, “unsure if online English is the best fit for [their] son or daughter”, and I also wanted to make sure them that, “my parents felt the same way before I started this course.” The use of inclusive language is a key persuasive technique to engage the listener since it makes them feel like they are being directly spoken to. In addition, I also directly related my family to theirs which helped to further solidify that I was there to talk directly to

We all woke up that saturday morning hearing a cacophonous cry of sorrow, I closed my eyes in terror of what might have happened. As I opened my eyes I see that Anne Marie was crying on her stand on top of the shelf, looking down at Adam, who was on the floor with his arms and legs chewed off by that mean dog, whom they call buster.

You said it wasn’t working because I wasn’t happy, but you already knew that. I have depression and it literally blocks my happiness. Since you already knew that, why did you wait so long to break it off? And why didn’t you come up with a different reason? One that hurts less… Did you really think that you could cure me, fix me up, in one month’s time? That’s not how mental illness, nor life itself, works.

For the first several years of my life, I was just like any other child; I achieved all the typical developmental milestones, cultivated new interests, made friends, and began to familiarize myself with the world around me. By the time I started elementary school, I was already enrolled in theater classes, ballet lessons, and a youth soccer league. It was also during these tender years that I began to develop an interest in learning, beyond that of most other children my age.

It is surprising, but true that motivation for people comes from money, power, and fame. Not quite for me, I was motivated by my loving grandmother. She instilled in me to “Stay Gold”, work hard and be honest always. When you combine those together you can’t put a limit on what you’ll be able to do in life.

There's no questioning that the essence of society has become notorious for being unforgiving and cold to all those who encounter it. Some individuals are buffeted by it while a select few rise to the occasion to defeat it. In the so-called "adult world," few genuinely care about hardships faced by others previous to their concurrence and instead are only concerned with making personal gains. This concept is a rather disquieting one, but entirely relevant nonetheless. Personally, I’ve fallen victim to such conditions and have chosen to brave the storm. I come from a background saturated with difficulties and obstacles that I’ve never once used as leverage, or for the purpose of constructing excuses for my actions. And, I plan to continue in

Going into this process, my initial strategy was to remain as objective as possible, while still seeking out my best interest, as well as keeping the children in mind. Deciding what I would need, as well as what the children would need was a major factor in this negotiation. But, I also had the intention of keeping things fair, seeing as though the marriage had existed for 20+ years, and that Jim deserved his fair share as much as I did. According to an article from the Harvard Program on Negotiations, this negotiation style could be described as mostly cooperative, with a small amount of individualistic tendencies (Staff, 2018). While I was focused on keeping things fair and objective, I also was looking out for myself, aiming to get what I needed to continue living as a co-parent.

When you look back on your life, what do you remember most? Personal achievements fade from memory as you age; setbacks and failures aren’t there; arguments argue their existence away; simple daily tasks blend together and take care of themselves. Only one thing remains – moments of fulfilment. Some things make you feel pure joy, but you wouldn’t want to do them again. Fulfillment is different. It’s when you’re so unbelievably happy you could do that same thing over and over again for the rest of your life.
