Self Identity During the early months of 1997 the calls from my guidance counselor increased and became disturbing while I was in class. Within weeks our discussions went from “Antonio you need to stay out of trouble and focus on your studies” to “is this college offering your major'.” My mother brought me to America at the tender age of thirteen, with the intentions of furthering my edu

Valued Out there in this world some one is crying, out there in this world someone is dying. And we are living, breathing, surviving. We all value something in our lives, but I cherish life itself. What we take for granted another man wishes he could have. On a day to day basis so many people all over the world die, die because of natural and unnatural causes, but we live on. At one poin

Uplifting Personal Experience Uplifting Personal Experience Through hours we spend learning at school, nothing can be more indelible than the personal experiences we undergo in life.

Was It Worth It' It was a shadowy night with low cloud cover; it was perfect for the task at hand. My friends and I were ready and confident. My hands were trembling, my eyes were looking back and forth across my friends, and my smile was so big it almost hurt. The night would be invigorating. I could read the faces of each of my friends; I knew what each person was thinking. Jamie’s

What Inspired Me To Succeed (essay) Through out my lifetime I have met many people who have inspired me and made me want to follow their footsteps. I have gone through situations where the decisions I made have greatly influenced the way I have carried out my lifestyle.

What It Feels Like To Go Home The Four of Us As I get out of my buddy Roe’s small, cramped, late model Integra, I thank him for the ride and grab my laundry bag out of his tiny trunk. My legs feel like I have weights on them, tired from the 3-hour ride home. I wave at Roe, and then walk through the front of the lobby of Silicon Valley Inn and Suites. I look out at the clean blue and g

What My Grandmother Means To Me What My Grandmother Means to Me Nana, it is amazing how one word can mean so much. It has always been true that the most down to earth and informed person in my family is my Nana. I have always looked up to my Nana and she is definitely a person that deserves to be looked up to. She is always there for you when you need someone. She is the best listen

When Divorce Hurts When Divorce Hurts Moments are like rocks. Events shape our lives like stones tossed into a pond. Most days just hold pebbles for us, but every so often a boulder plunges into out life. That is exactly what happened to me as a freshman in high school some seven years ago. While studying with my tutor at the dining room table on a random spring afternoon, I hear

When Your Hero Falls When Your Hero Falls The year was 1998 when it finally all fell apart, although the chain of events leading up to such a dramatic event in my life was set on course years prior. The location was a common, quiet small town. A young boy had lived in this current location all of his life, and it was all he knew. This was soon about to change...

Yellow Wallpaper What a Night! It was a beautiful, warm Thursday evening. I was wandering foolishly through the neighbor’s gardens in search of glowing fireflies. I stumbled across a group of three fireflies, all with their lights shining, except for one. As I knelt down to pick up the helpless little creature, I heard a strange and unfamiliar noise. I flung myself to the ground as

“Between A Rock And A Soft Place” Although we live in the twenty-first century, has the debate about stereotyping men and women come to an end' In the essay “Between a Rock and a Soft Place” the author categorizes genders, male and female.

“On Broadway” A Show To Remember It was a breezy night in November of 1994 at the Center of Performing Arts in San Jose. Inside as the curtain came up we all started to smile with excitement and hope of doing well filled our hearts.

Would You Rather Be Deaf Or Blind Would you rather be born deaf or blind' As she whispers in your ear it tickles, but you know it’s a passionate moment so you don’t laugh, instead you return the favor and whisper “I love you” in their ear. A little while later, your loved one decides to slip into your anniversary gift, a silky material that seems to enhance every part, every movemen

Annoying as a Mosquito Annoying As A Mosquito To most people and alarm clock can be an object of joyful noise awakening them to an exciting new day. To me an alarm clock is more like an annoying mosquito flying around my head waiting for that right moment to strike its unsuspecting prey. The repetitive beeping of the alarm clock compares to that of the bothersome sound a mosquito ma

A Bum Rap A Bum Rap It’s interesting how most people tend to categorize others into groups by certain personality traits. At one time or another, everyone is guilty of this kind of stereotyping as a means to describe someone else. In many instances, the person being evaluated is not even known. Who are only being judged on appearance, or by a quick glance from across the room. In th

A Dream “IF A PERSON WERE TO WAKE UP IN ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE, WOULD THAT PERSON STILL BE THE SAME'” It was an average night in mid-July, nothing was different, the same as many nights before. Usually I spend my summer nights drifting in and out of consciousness, but on this night, I can\'t sleep. I\'m lying in my bed, eyes closed. The television is playing off in the distanc

A Letter A letter. The sun is about to surrender to the darkness of the ocean as I stand here watching the waves slowly caress the seashore. With my eyes glued to the view I’ve been standing here for hours feeling at one with the ocean and all that surrounds it. And for the first time in months I’m allowing myself to recognize the feelings that are coming to me. I no longer wipe aw

A Little Something About Me A Little Something About Me With millions of people in the world, each one different from the next, I wonder how someone can assume anything about anyone without first getting to know that person. Everyone is different: from character to interests and personality to goals. Getting to know someone can prove to be difficult; the best way is to talk. When c

A Mid Summer’s Night A Mid Summer’s Night Imagine yourself in the mountains on a mid summer’s night, with your friends drinking beer and roasting hotdogs not a care in the world. Not up there to find anything in particular, just up there to have a good time. At that time in my life I was nineteen years old and thought I was doing okay, although I did not have a job and no prospec

A Walk Through The Woods Towering trees surround me as I walk through the woods. I can smell the refreshing scent of the outdoors. The fragrance of fall is in the air. I can feel the gentle nip of the whispering wind upon my cheek. Forest sounds sing a comforting lullaby when I walk on the bed of leaves beneath me. I can hear the trickle of water as I draw near the stream. I can feel the
