It is a truth universally acknowledged that human pride causes human pain. Whether this is the pain of soldiers in vain battle, the pain of individuals isolated by social statuses and social demands, or the pain of young boys in shallow, barren graves, pride causes it by blinding us to the humanity of others and convincing us to accept their pain and our own pain in the pursuit of avarice. The breadth of pride 's effect on humanity is apparent in its thematic presence throughout literature. In…

The broke college kid Now I apologize for writing about such a cliche, honestly the phrase itself is synonymous with the word college, followed by ramen noodles, but that 's a different story. Many individuals use the term rather loosely and assume that every college student is in fact broke, but I beg to differ. Durning my time as an undergrad I did not seem to be surrounded by many "broke kids". They were very much well traveled, vehicle owners, Thursday night bar night college…

First Plane Trip The first time I went on an airplane, was when I was twelve. My family was traveling to California for the first time, to visit the family on my father’s side. I remember being nervous, but, extremely excited at the same time. It was a long trip, about six hours give or take, and my family was not prepared one bit. Yet with all the chaotic things that happened, it was still a memorable and fun experience. Of course for the first time on a plane, you’re going to think the…

At this time, we didn 't think it was worth the fight." Alright, if your going to talk like that, I 'm going to need a new therapist. It was March 2012 and I had been asking for a bike all year. Why a bike? Because it was a part of the Pre-k Curriculum. So basically, every student who was in pre-k had a list of goals. One goal on the list was for students to sit on a bike and pedal a bike. Nadia being in a wheel chair could not sit on a regular bike. So, she doesn 't need this goal right…

I couldn 't believe it! My family had started Christmas without me. According to my clock, I still had minutes left before I could get out of bed and yet I could hear my sister chattering and laughing with my parents. Quickly slipping from my room and down the hallway, I passed my little brother 's bedroom, noticing his door was still closed. It seemed he was missing out too. Still pitch-black outside, Santa had left the tree lights on, transforming the front room into a Christmas…

I got a rush of excitement and jumped. My body was filled with adrenaline as I glided through the clouds. All three members of my squad were below me. The land below me was getting closer by the second. I could still hear the faded noise of the rotors above me. I quickly made a check that I hadn’t forgot anything. I had my sniper with me, which is the most important thing to have. I checked my altitude as I pulled my parachute. I was jolted upwards, and was now slowly descending towards a…

Ever since, she said she has lived by herself scavenging for scraps, just like my sister and I. Then she said that's how she ran into me, that she saw Generals coming while she was looking for food so she tripped over a loose board on the cellar door and that's how she found it. Right as she is finishing her story I hear the door open, It kinda felt like Deja-Vu at that point. The door creaks everything is silent until the silence is broken. “Hello?” “MARLEE!” I couldn't contain my excitement,…
