by phonies. Every one of them, the bros gulping down foamy beers as if it would somehow prove their masculinity, the crashers getting stoned in some dark corner, the girls clustering together because they can’t stand alone, even for a moment—every single one is so typically high-school, so full of shit. Where am I? I’m sitting on a couch with two couples who have clearly disregarded my presence, so, trapped in between and unsure of where to look or what to do, I stare into the depths of my red cup
Her. My best friend, my un-biological sister, the calmness of my drama. She has many titles to her name, well from me at least. But unfortunately bad friend is one of them. It all started last year. Our first year in a new school. Our first year in middle school. I can just remember about how we were wishing things wouldn’t change. But they did.

This would show and give the pupils a rough idea of how working life is. Also it will help them in the future on what they would be interested to achieve and what they would desire to be. In Kelmscott School they send us to work experience in Year 10. I worked in T.K. Maxx during my work experience. In my work experience I was
As I begin this assignment, I really don’t know what to write. Should I begin with how I was born and rise up in a country that is far away from American? Maybe talking a little bit about my background will help my classmates get to know who I am, and that is the least thing I can do now. I was born in Saigon City, Vietnam, a country located in Southeast Asia, within a big family. My parents have five elder brothers, two sisters before they have me. I had problems after my birth; a little disorder
Nowadays, people get so pre-occupied with their external environment that they don’t feel attention to themselves. This typical scenario has been the concern for almost every person in this planet. The ones who are affected are mostly those who belong to the urbane society. Professionals, self-employed individuals and students belong to this social order. The paradox of our time as shown here affects us always in our daily activities. We tend to forget ourselves and pay much interest on our day-to-day
It was my aunt who taught me the meaning of honesty. Not because she actually was honest, but because she lied all the time. I think she felt that the easiest way out of any given situation was generally the best way out. For her, that meant telling a lie that sounded believable.

The Battle of Two Halves - Original Writing The wind whistled in my ears as I sat on the windowsill. Tears ran down my cheeks. I couldn't believe what I had been told. I was in shock. I couldn't believe it. I wouldn't believe it. My heart felt like an iron weight; it felt like it had sunk down beside my stomach. So much information in so little time; my brain was overflowing. The pressure was high, yet my hopes were low. Life felt worthless. My sheer existence felt meaningless, as though
