There will always be a social gap so their “relationship” would never work. That's why the boy in the story left the bazaar in anger, he realized that it would never work due to their social gaps. The Stolen Party is a great example of showing us how the world truly is. Society is just a messed up place where people try to make themselves feel
Going to college in America has always been one of my biggest dreams. Since I was very young I used to watch a lot of movies about high school and college in the States and I’ve always dreamed so much about it. When I was sixteen I decided that Europe and Italy were not the only places I wanted to see and live in during my life.

Death, the Great Attention Grabber It is amazing how many things we take for granted. We make plans for the day, and don 't think twice about how those plans can be taken away in the blink of an eye. I never thought much about it myself until I was faced with the shock of my aunt’s death. I don 't think anyone really thinks about tragedy until they are actually faced with shocking news. The lesson I can learn from this is to live everyday intentionally and purposely. It was August 8th of 2013 when
Once upon a time there was a kid named Alfred. Alfred was in the 3rd grade and he loved playing on the schools playground at lunch. Alfred was kind of an awkward fella and he had no friends.

My Beginning The bell rang and immediately froze. It was my first day of fourth grade and I was terrified. It wasn’t only that I was scared of attending a new school but also that this was my first time attending an American School. I was born in Delano, California but we had moved to Mexico when I was about 1-year-old and didn’t return until I turned 8 so all I knew to speak was Spanish. Now I was in a total new country and I didn’t understand anything around me. Everything looked different and

The end of the semester has arrived and with it comes time for reflection. This semester has had many ups and downs. However, one thing is for sure: it was a fantastic first semester of college. Learning was at the top of my to do list this semester. While being in a classroom setting did provide a decent amount of information to learn, I feel I did more learning outside of the classroom for a few reasons. The first lesson I learned is that being away from home with a bunch of strangers is not a

The one thing that is even worse than an oversleeping headache certainly is having dreams. It makes people feel like they didn’t sleep at all, and tired because of sleeping while they should be resting for another busy day, well, at least that’s how I feel. Some people even waste time trying to figure out what their dream means, as if it can tell them the future, which is absolutely nonsense. Bad dream or good dream, it’s just not my thing, and I’m definitely not a dream-recording type of person

Friends Forever My way of life has never been what anyone would call normal. It’s only second nature to hear the words “peculiar” or “weird” when describing my family and friends. The funny thing is, it really doesn’t bother me. If everyone were the same or what the world refers to as normal, life would be pretty boring. There are several contributing factors as to why I am the way that I am, but more recently, I can say that a group of friends that I became close to during my senior year of
