My Story

ability when experiencing pain and suffering. Whenever I would be going through a dark moment in my life, I would often blame God for not loving me. Kairos helped me discover the truth of God, showing me that bad things are when we need God the most and must not doubt His plan. Always thought that since I turned myself off to God, God would do the same. Kairos showed me that God never turns His back on us. In my life, God is a larger part of my life than He has ever been. No longer looking to him only for help, I feel His presence every day as He blesses me with the fortunate life I now live. I am truly thankful for Kairos for allowing me to realize God’s goodness and love.…

Keep facing pain, fears and flaws, so I can break through the barriers of automatic patterns and see what’s possible beyond the beliefs I have about myself and others. When I…

My first love story is different from everyone else's love story. It is a tragic love story, so tragic that it turns the most ungrateful people into grateful ones for having the chance to live a happy first love relationship no matter how long it lasted or how bad and cruel it ended. February 28, 2014 I went to dinner with my friends and they asked the 8th grade girls out to grab something to eat. At this dinner I met probably the weirdest girl I've ever met before. She was just crazy, talking…

IN THE BRIEF MOMENTS FOLLOWING HIS DEATH, Senator Donald Welt was sure of one thing, he was dead. That much he knew for certain. But there were other things he didn’t know of course. The small things, the details. Who had shot him? Why had they shot him? What was next? That final question seemed most pressing for the time being, a question he claimed to know the answer to throughout his entire political career. It’s so easy for the living to talk about death, but for the dead it was no laughing…

Greetings. I am a seventh grade student at Brickell Academy. I created a narrative based on traditional literature of a certain culture.

It is a modernized story based on the origin stories of Native American tribes. My narrative story is titled “How the Dab Came to Be” for the newer generations to enjoy. The purpose…

autobiographical writing functions at the mode of heeling” as a “scripto- therapy”. It includes the process of both “writing out and through traumatic experiences in the mode of therapeutic reenactment” (202). Kamala auto journey in to the past proves cathartic and catalyst for heeling. She says “I have written several books in my life time but none of them provided the pleasure the writing of My Story has given me” (preface, My Story). My Story includes her traumatic experiences of childhood…

The bigger presence of family over the lives of children demonstrates that race is not as important as familial…

what i just have done I hung my cat pluto. Why must I lash out and do actions like this. I leave the room and while i'm walking out of the room to the bar to get a drink I yell at my wife to be quiet and go do something slamming the door behind me. As i'm walking down the street to the bar I see this stray cat pondering down the avenue. As I try to walk up to it I realized its eye is missing and I immediately think of pluto as I storm away to run from my emotions. As I walk up to the bar I…

Death of Love or Lies T. Coraghessan Boyle, author of “The Love of My Life,” seems to have a point to get across in his short story about the unwanted being that the lovebirds have made. With the presentation of this couple in a descriptive and non-verbal way, one can see how the story seems to be intended for young adult readers who will be able to recognize the young, but powerful love that is shown. However, these loving notions are not to be seen without a conflict that seems to create…
