So Many Things

whomever they want them to be, but at the end of the different factors come into account and life ultimately runs its course. A perfect example of this is a child being sheltered their whole life, and when they graduate high school and go to college and are finally on their own. They see themselves changing and they learn things about themselves that they never knew before. I don't believe anybody is born any type of way. We change as time goes a long and with time things happen. Those events over the course of time make us the person we are today. Identity can be destroyed when we try to be…

I have thought and talked about my dream job in great detail many times before. My dream job is intricate, and way too complicated to ever become a reality but a girl can dream. It has many parts to it and would take an estimated 70 years to get all necessary degrees and experience to be able to achieve but it would be so worth it. The first part of it is I would be a climber-photographer for National Geographic and get paid to travel, climb mountains, and take pictures. Then, in the next stage…

It is hard to place a single definition on a topic as broad as the One and the Many. Many people interpret what it means and how it can be solved in a variety ways. As I researched this problem I came across a definition that became glued to my mind: the problem of the One and the Many is finding the balance between something being unified and differentiated. In this definition, a researcher is seeking the relationship between unity and diversity. Many early Philosophers believed that everything…

I Believe in Facing Your Fears I believe in facing your fears. I have always considered myself a fairly brave individual. I can hold a snake without flinching, climb to the tops of tall buildings, and sleep with the lights off after a scary movie. Yet, there was one thing that at the ripe young age of thirteen absolutely terrified me, and that was airplanes. As a child I heard many horror stories of catastrophic plane hijackings and crashes. It scared me to think that so many things could go…

Have you ever thought about of losing a love one? If so, it would be the difficult experience, and you would have to learn to accept it. For myself, when I was eighteen years old, I could not believe the day that my grandfather would be gone forever. Along with my grandmother, he was the one who raised me; he taught me how to become a good person. Therefore, when it happened, I could not stand on my own two feet. However, I must learn to accept the truth because it is fact that no one can escape…

My one remedial math class is the reason technology is not good in class rooms. I am the type of person that needs to see things for me to understand and comprehend it. This class is all online, with a bunch of different levels in it. The way they teach you isn’t a good way to learn anything. You sit there in a big class room with all different groups. You watch the videos they give you that are online and its up to you to figure out how to do the math. You can’t just watch a video and expect to…

“Your dad is dead!” I remember the statement so vividly. I remember the looks on everyone’s faces. I remember it all like it was yesterday. I was nine when my world spiraled out of control. My dad decided to take himself out of the world and leave us behind. He was in a lot of pain, and he didn’t know what to do with it. At first alcohol was his answer to the pain; but in the end it just left him hurting more than anything else. Things weren’t always miserable in our house. There were plenty of…

Taking things one day at a time will help you worry less and let positivity come in Sometimes bombarding your schedule with an amazing amount of things to do has negative consequences, because as soon as deadlines come closer and you feel you will not be able to accomplish anything , this adds up to other stuff you will have to do the next day or week. This tendency will build up unnecessary stress, and unfortunately, negativity, because you 'll feel that you can 't keep up with anything.…
