Recommended: An essay on aesthetic experience

This weekend I engaged in a lot of aesthetic experiences. I could’ve chosen a variety of things to write on, however the experience that stands out to me personally the most is my walks. I walk to clear my mind and to find peace. Normally, I have so much going on throughout the week that I’ve recently found myself longing for a walk. As I walk I speak to God as if He were walking beside me. I pour out all of my frustrations on Him. Throughout the trails, rant to God about things like how I was hurt on Sunday and how on Monday I snapped at a friend. After I get everything out, I walk on in silence. I take in the beautiful sights and embrace the stillness. For the most part, I’ve figured out that I am an introvert which normally means I

  • Personal Narrative: The Dwarves In The Stable

    My life so far has been like a good hiking path. A path that is winding and twisting and encompassed with plenty of beauty. A path that is lined with trees like angels protecting you from the mysteries in the deep forest and that keep you rooted on the path you are destine to take. One that is filled with deep troughs and the most beautiful peaks you could ever image. Sometimes the path is rocky and hurts the soles of your feet until they crack and bleed, but other times it’s covered with a soft green moss that lifts your steps and revives your spirits. Through the last 17 years of my life, I have traveled that path and endured every step. I have gone into the dark abyss of the trough and have found in it the most precious grace of light. As I have gotten older I have come to recognize that the scary and shaky steps of my path have indeed been “fearsome blessings” (Buechner, 92).

  • My Italian Immigration Experience

    There was one time in particular I found myself in a situation which in the past, would have rendered me unable to cope. My Au pair family asked me to take the train by myself to travel to their uncle’s home and bring back their child. I had only been there for a little over two weeks. I still didn't have a good understanding of the Italian language. I was worried I wouldn't make myself understood if I needed help on the way. On my way there, I got off at the wrong station and found myself lost in the center of the town’s piazza. I had never experienced anything like this, and though I was afraid, I kept calm. After an hour of backtracking, I found my way back to the train station and boarded again and was able to find the right destination. I retrieved the child and brought him back home. What an adventure! Later that evening I reflected on how unnerving and stressful the event had been. I was pleased that I’d persevered in the midst of such an anxiety-ridden and intimidating situation. This was one example where I proved to myself how capable I

  • A Life-Changing Experience: My Journey To Las Vegas

    890 Words  | 2 Pages

    Allow me to explain, I had recently transferred to a new school, where I didn’t know anyone. While I had made a few positive friends I continued to feel lost and miss home. My grades in school began dropping and I felt unmotivated to be productive. So as I stood staring at the Grand Canyon I realized that my life was like a canyon. My present life represents the river and the canyon serves as my past life. The river paves the way, just as I pave my way for my future. The canyon represents my past because it shows the choices and mistakes I have made in life. I know that I will continue to make mistakes, but if I put my best foot forward and work hard for what I desire then I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. This includes overcoming my greatest fear of heights, which was something I never believed I could overcome. If I hadn’t conquered my fear then I would have missed out on other opportunities that involved taking

  • Personal Narrative: My World Series Ring

    That drive was for Christ. Before that weekend my sole focus in life was myself. Every single time I did anything I was focusing on the personal benefits. I was not actively doing anything to make myself better, only living to sustain myself in the now. After that weekend I realized that I need to do everything with one goal, to please the Lord. He created me. If I work to please the Lord, in return he will give me eternal life in heaven. When someone accepts God into their lives, God automatically takes away their sins away and makes them perfect. I learned that I need to make the invisible God visible by being a mirror image of Him. This means giving my one hundred percent effort in order to do things as Christ would do them. Christ is perfect, and I know that perfection is unattainable. Yet, I learned that I need to strive for this impossible perfection in order to take on Christ-like qualities, such as faithfulness, humility and

    Whether during gentle times or fiercely dark ones, throughout my life, I imagined standing on this path. At times, I stood in that spot, focused and having a direction. In this case, I clearly recognized the setting as when I was in kindergarten. It was dark outside and I was there for an event at my school, Concordia Lutheran. It stands like an old movie remembered by from a few frames from a film reel. It was a shimmer in time; gone in a flash.

  • Personal Narrative: My Personal Identity

    518 Words  | 2 Pages

    I identify as a sixteen year old Egyptian American high school senior. That’s quite a mouthful! For a large portion of my life, I attended a private school, NUIA, and at the beginning of fifth grade, they offered me an option to skip fifth grade and go to sixth. I immediately said yes. Although, when I look back now, the only reason I said yes is because the middle-schoolers had lockers, and I thought I would look cool if I had one too. This, along with the fact that I started school a bit early accounts for the age disparity between me and my peers. Although, quite often, I find myself behind my friends in sports and fitness, I more than make up for it in personality. When I ran for Senior class president(where I placed second of four) last

While the fact remains that my husband’s work and my studies takes a demanding toll of our time, we try to ensure that at the end of the day, we spend some time together. We have realised during our five years of marriage that when we keep God and family first, all the rest of our priorities fall into place the way they should. This room has helped play a role, albeit a minor one, in granting us this goal. It is an added boon in that it has granted solace to our weary souls and bodies.

I look up to see my husband standing at the door, smiling and telling me that breakfast is ready. I smile back. I am home.
