Why do banshees scream? A long time ago, a boy sat alone. He had nothing, but his own thoughts, rattling around his own evil mind. He hated his family, for they were awful to him. His sister was the worst, but he tended to ignore her. She antagonized him over and over, the rest of his siblings did the same and his parents ignored what was happening. They just assumed that he was being tormented for a reason, that the almighty Zeus had a reason. The boy did not believe in gods, he didn’t believe in what everyone said, what they all claimed. One day, his sister was provoking him until the boy became very vexed. His rage took over and he grabbed the nearest rock. He loomed over his sister who still held her own, looking competitive as always. He threw his arm up and crashed the rock into her face, she yelped in pain. The boy did not stop until his sister was a bloody mess lying on the ground, her face torn to shreds, unrecognizable. She was dead. He stood up and dropped the weapon, he watched as the blood on it turned to ichor and he froze, staring. He counted the seconds. 178… 179… 180. Suddenly his sister’s hands went to her own throat as she gasped and her lungs pleaded for air. He looked down, staring. What just happened? She was dead just a minute ago, and even worse, he didn’t care that she was dead. In fact, he kind of preferred it that way. So when his sister woke, he did not feel pleased or better that she was okay. No, he felt rather angry. He looked to the sky,…

I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior when I was eleven years old and believe strongly in attending a university that reflects my belief system. I attend church faithfully for both Sunday morning and night services as well as Wednesday night bible study. My Sunday School lessons further increase my knowledge of the Bible and the Christian walk. I have volunteered for Vacation Bible School for the past two years and have even gone door to door passing out fliers inviting children to attend.…
Looking back at my Happiness Project, there are positives that I’ve gotten and things that I would change if I were to do it again. The big question though is did I become happier from this? Yes, and I will explain why; on the other hand, there were many flaws that affected my progress. A major issue I had in my project was managing my time. Although I had more time to spend with friends, I began to spend more time than I had, which affected other parts of my project. As for the success, most of…
“Looking good and feeling good go hand and hand. If you have a healthy lifestyle, your diet and nutrition are set, and you’re working out, you’re going to feel good.”, this quote was written by Jason Statham and it was the quote that helped me to constantly stay on focus of my goals. Staying motivated while trying to improve areas on wellness is key to success. For my personal wellness project I tried to improve in three areas of wellness. I have learned so much in these past couple months…
location and lack of direct competition in the Fredericksburg City boundaries are key advantages to the project. The proposed club, Lights Out: Glow Bar and Club, is designed to provide a local solution in the absence of live music and dance venues within the Fredericksburg area for audiences between the ages of 21 and 35. The particular brand name, Lights Out: Glow Bar and Club, was chosen for this service because it encapsulated the characteristics of the…
We did not have a happy marriage. When my daughter was born six years later, she became my salvation and I started feeling very spiritual. I read up on meditations but failed to realize the power of white light. I also failed to realize my own power in meditations! I didn’t realize I could do it so well. One night, after so many sad days of marital fights, I meditated and asked for help. I would feel my body taking roots into the earth. My roots extended all the way to the core of the…
The cajita project lets me went back and reflects about my past and the people who were a part of my life or used to be a part of my life. Through this journey of working on the cajita project, I choose things that I felt that it represents me and what I went through to be where I am today. It was hard to find objects that represents me or that shape me to be who I am today. In my cajita box, I have 5 items in it. Each items are what represent me and shape me to be the person that I am today. In…
myself a good leader. A leader, no matter the experience, can always become better. There are many projects that I have participated in that focus on strengthening leadership abilities, and many roles I have held that have allowed me to grow as a leader. Over the past summer I was accepted into the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership Seminar program (HOBY). This intensive three day program focused on further developing the leadership skills of student participants. Now I am currently enrolled in the…
Because it is so easy to overlook some factors that define who we are, it seems as though, today, students are solely defined by their GPA and ACT scores; however, unbeknownst to most others, religion has been a big defining factor in making me who I am today. My parents have always made religion a priority, so naturally, religion, and all that I learned from it, is very important to me. I began my schooling at a catholic grammar school and when I attended a public middle school and high…
