The key to any kind of dream in the world is having a purpose. Having purpose is the key in enabling anyone in the world to do anything they aspire to do. It gives anyone the power to work harder, strive further, and have meaning in whatever they do, and having purpose is the sole meaning behind living life, whether it’s living for someone, something, or even yourself. One of the main purposes of my life is to live for the people who have shaped me into the person that I am today.…

Winter break last year was an experience for me that I will never forget. It is when I found who I was and who my real friends and family were. I went into winter break that year as one person and came out a totally different person. Many people do not know why I changed so dramatically, they questioned a lot. I tried to explain but no one understood. It was a blistering cold winter morning when my mom called me and explained to me that my cousin Leila was going to come over to my house…

Walmart Deli The job itself aint bad, depending on the shift and day anyways. What we do is cook food in a fryer or oven or rotisserie, slice meat and cheese on a slicer, server customers, wash dishes, and the list could go on. Like if a night shift there 's a long list of stuff we have to clean. Depending on if we work as a team and have are crap together then we’ll be able to get out on time. Like for instance last night. We only had Megan and I closing last night. We are normally supposed…

I walked outside the hut and by the height of the sun I could tell that it was about six in the morning. It was time to get my brothers up and ready for a busy day of work and school. Ravi and Daruka were still passed out on their matts despite the sun shining directly on their innocent little faces and rightfully so. They had stayed up most of the night waiting for Mama and Baba to come home. “Ravi, Ruka, come on, wake up.” They didn’t budge. I said it a little bit louder this time, “Ruka,…

Childhood, that sound like a good thing right? Have you thought of what can happen during that time of being a kid and turning into an adult. Just imagine all the worst possible things that could happen and all of them happening all at once. That 's how i felt at a certain point in my life. I had a couple friends during school and of course they are awesome but most people know that you can only have one best friend. That pair of words “Best Friend”. When you think about it, it 's the person…

Waking up on a sunny bright morning, all I can think about is the special day it was going to be. I was still in bed, I looked over at my phone and see my phone light up, as I look it was my boyfriend Marco texting me. While reading his text saying “Good morning beautiful, happy one year anniversary” in that instant I felt butterflies in my stomach, my cheeks turning red like a tomato, and not resisting of smiling. It was the greatest feeling in the world, which I had spent one year with the…

The walk home from the local football club was dark. Simple as that. It was a clear winter night, and there was no moon in the sky. The only relief from the darkness was the occasional streetlight. The cold air was refreshing on my body, warm from the copious amount of alcohol I had consumed tonight. Georgia wasn’t going to be happy. She thinks my drinking is a bad influence on the kids. She doesn’t want them to grow up like me. That’s always a comforting thing to hear from your wife. I know it…

An autumn afternoon, a watercolor sunset streaked muted pastel shades across the sky. It was a bitingly cold chill that belonged to winter. My eyes were focused on the Manhattan skyline, a beautifully grotesque thing. Nature, half obscured by looming manmade structures. I wasn 't sure what was uglier. What an outlandish thought, to find nature so unnerving. I had been so preoccupied by my own devices that I hadn 't noticed a small girl on a crumbling concrete stoop, her eyes intently focused on…

This weekend has been pretty thought-provoking for me. We have heard stories regarding how others have found God and the different ways He can be perceived. And it is with this talk, I will expand on both of these notions. I want to share, the results of my friendship with God. Everyone has had different experiences, and He speaks to us in very diverse ways. In my life most often, in the form of something I least expected. When I am out and about and meet a stranger, or when I spend time with…

“I can't breathe, I can’t breathe,” wheezing between words as I yelled at my mom for help. While it felt as my lungs were nonexistent and an elephant standing on my chest. I looked at my mom fearfully. I didn't know what was happen and what the future holds. As she picked me up and shot to the door. It's the night before an exciting day. The day that has been impending closer and closer everyday since the start of summer. First grade, exciting for more than just me. As the 130 others attending…
