There is only one time I can think of that I experienced failure. It was in 2010 and I was at the recognition ceremony for the Prudential Spirit of Community Service Awards Ceremony in Washington D.C. This ceremony was the last big thing of our time in D.C. and was definitely the most important to […]
The clouds were absolutely as puffy as they could ever be, compared to any other view. I wanted to jump out the airplane window and bounce on the clouds as if they were trampolines. Along with the excitement of now, my second trip on a plane was the constant anticipation of how much longer it […]
“Shut up, Dette.” That was the final I noticed of that individual earlier than the massive funeral. As I stood within the cemetery, I appeared on the wreath that I used to be holding. “Dette, the man by no means actually appreciated you, so why trouble?” I believed to myself. I had no reply to […]
Earlier than addressing something, I’d prefer to say that I absolutely perceive the intent of your writing immediate: I’m supposed to judge one thing that most individuals round me don’t discover about me and the way it’s formed me into who I’m immediately. It’s an attention-grabbing Question Assignment. Nevertheless, I’d be vastly appreciative if I […]
Sweat did not accumulate in light droplets on our foreheads; it gathered in great pools, drenching our leotards. Although we never noticed it ourselves, everyone outside the studio could see that the air was dense with moisture and heat.

The Life of a Spectator I grew. I grew up out of the mud and into the daylight, the air, the land. I sprouted leaves and buds; my roots grew deep. I knew the names of the flowers beside me, and will establish the calls of the birds. I used to be transplanted at some […]
In The Communist Manifesto, Marx describes how the capitalist bourgeoisie, owners of the means of social production, exploit the proletariats. A capitalist society only enables those with property, or those that own the means of production to succeed. Proletariats are affected in many ways by this abuse.When capitalism controls society laborers are nothing but “a […]
“Beep,” the car screeched and a middle-aged man popped his head out of the window and yelled at me then drove off. That car horn marked the beginning of a realization that the decisions we make and the paths in life we choose to follow should be reflections of what kind of people we are […]
In the balmy summer night air, a shadowed figure sat motionless. As I approach, I see the person’s profile; she is looking up at the stars. It is a common activity for us, to just sit and watch the stars shining upon the grass surrounding our home for the last month. I come up and […]
