...that one day I would meet my prince charming. That one day he would take me away, love me, spoil me and grant every wish I had, and that we would live happily ever after. I grew up on fairy tales and M&B novels! It is everyone’s desire to have a life partner, a companion to share his/her life, dreams, joy and sorrow with. And I was no different in nurturing this desire. Every time I attended any wedding I used to wonder when it would be my turn; when would I become a bride. Most importantly: where the hell is he, my prince charming? Time passed by and still there was no prince charming in sight! I resigned myself to the bitter fact that I am doomed to spend the rest of my life alone, without love. Being physically disabled I didn’t want to be a burden on anyone, especially as a financial burden. I threw myself in my career, secretly holding on to the assumption that there is someone out there for everyone. Besides, Allah in the Holy Quran says: “Among His proofs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves, in order to have tranquility and contentment with each other, and He placed in your hearts love and care towards your spouses. In this, there are sufficient proofs for people who think.” [30:21] There is someone out there for me also. My prince charming will come. When? Then I met this falcon-eyed man with the most beautiful voice I had ever heard. With just one meeting I had slipped, stumbled and fallen head over heels in love with him! He was everything...

...I was plodding my way home when I passed by the university patio. Its old abandoned atmosphere made it deemed for a quiet benevolence—perfect for rough moments like this. Again, I remembered my Nicolai. Not longer than yesterday, thinking about him used to sweep away the confusion in me. But now, it burst forth more puzzling array of questions about this phenomenon. Emersion of tears started to fog my eyesight but I still continued to walk. Until suddenly, tickling arms wrapped around me from behind. Another sense of déjà vu came crawling in my heart. I knew from that moment that it was him. Apparently, I was on the edge of tears but I still needed his explanation, his clarification, so I lifted my head up to prevent tears from falling and faced him without any hint of fear. “What are you?” I asked in an evident...

...One Night With Justin January 17, 2007 is a night I will remember forever. It is the night my dreams became a reality for one night and one night only. On this day at 7:30P.M., at the Save-Mart Center in Fresno, California, I saw the man of my dream, My Love, Justin Timberlake. What made this night even better was the fact that I was about 20 feet from the stage. I had floor seats to the most amazing concert ever. My roommate and I were in heaven. Justin came to Fresno on his FutureSex/LoveSounds tour. Joining him on tour was female singer Pink, who was the opening act, and producer and rapper Timbaland, who joined Justin on stage for a new numbers, including a monologue of his own. Pink opened up the show at the stroke of 7:30. She came out in a denim tank top and denim pleaded skirt. She got the party started. Her performance was energetic and amazing. She even performed an acrobatic routine in the air. At around 9:00P.M., the teasing began. The band members slowly made their way to the stage and they began to play a little interlude. The arena, already lively, began screaming their heads off, crying, shaking, jumping up and down, and anticipating the moment when the most amazing man in the world would reveal himself. The first song started up. It was the title track FutureSex/LoveSounds. Justin emerged from the center of the stage, dressed in a black suit, with a white guitar around his neck. Silk screens were surrounding the entire round stage. The stage...

I want this to manifest, I want this to happen in my life in every good ways or means I can. As I’ve said on my recent posts, I love to go somewhere, I love to experience different culture, and I want to meet new and different people. There are some times in my life when I face mirror, stand classically and gracefully and try to imitate flight attendants posture and speaking. I used to act like there are passengers and I am orienting them with safety procedures inside the plane. To train to become a flight attendant costs so much, that’s why my parents wasn’t able to send me to those schools...

...English essay A teenage-life isne Isaksen like an adventure. Each day brings something new and you never know what to expect. For me, a teenager-life is hard to live. I can feel how the body changes. Many thoughts go into my mind. Many problems accurse; problems I did not have to deal with when I was 13 years old. Problems with my boyfriend and at home; that is a new task for me. It is hard to focus when these problems are in my head. To pretend to be happy at all times is difficult in the age of 13-17. All kinds of problems pop into my head and I have no idea how to handle them. For me the exams are just around the corner and it is not exactly easy to cope with the pressure when I don’t feel ready. Perhaps I grew up to fast; I did not focus on my schooling – it was much more fun to smoke and drink with my friends weekend after weekend. I am paying for it now. I really want to make an effort when it comes to my schooling. My parents are divorced and it is not easy to be a child and listen to what they have to say to each other. My parents’ divorce was stressful to me and I never wanted them to separate. My mother moves to Dubai for five years – I will see my mother ten times during ten years. I wish I could see her more. Love is difficult. It has been a struggle for me to find a boyfriend but I have been very lucky to meet a young man who loves me. He treats me like a princess and I feel happy and safe with him. I have made a lot of mistakes the last two years and...

...TO MY FIRST LOVE I can’t say that I loved you from the moment that we met. I can’t say that we were meant to be or that after years of separation we’ll finally break the walls that separate us and be one once more. I can’t say that in the time we’ve been apart I’ve become a better person, better for you….better for us. If I said anything along these lines it would have been a lie. There’s much I want to tell you and a lot that I know I shouldn’t. Let’s start at the beginning: I remember when we met. You were one of the popular people. I was not. Everyday prior to our meeting I was nothing more than a background image on a less-than-boring wall. But for some reason on this day you chose to acknowledge me. On this day you chose to talk to me. I’ll probably never know why, or care why for that matter, but you did and since then my life has never been the same. As if you pulled me into light from the dark, or as though you created something out of nothing I had existence. I had meaning in my life. And that meaning was you. I would wake up every morning just to see you smile. I would miss my bus on purpose just to spend a few extra moments in your presence. I would shed the few nickels and dimes I had to give you whatever happiness money could buy. I would have given you the earth, the moon and even the sun if it so pleased you. I would have done it all. When you’re young everyone tells you to shoot for the stars, but no one tells you how dangerous ambition can be. No one...

...audio script. Comprehension activity: In each case, match a summary of what was said to the speaker. The speakers are in the order in which you hear them. Speaker Martina Rachel Romesh Mark John Summary statement I have a clear policy on when I can have distractions. I was surprised to find I couldn’t work like I had expected to. It’s often difficult for me to find the ideal working conditions. My expertise makes it easier for me to listen to music while I work. Whether I listen to music or not depends on the amount of attention the task requires. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. a) b) c) d) e) Martina: “It depends what I’m doing. I can listen to music of any kind when I’m doing a translation, I like it, it helps me even, but if I’m doing some complex maths then I have to have silence. It depends on the level of concentration that’s needed, I guess.” Rachel: “No, it has to be complete silence for me. It’s a real problem actually because I live in a shared house with lots of other students in the middle of a noisy city. It’s very difficult to get real peace and quiet. When I can I go back to my parents who live out in the country. It’s good when I have lots of exams to study for because it’s so peaceful out there – no disturbances at all!” Romesh: “A bit of background buzz in the office is essential for me. I like working in a lively atmosphere, people around, chat, the radio on perhaps. It generates an energy which I find helps me concentrate. I once came in to work on a Sunday when I...

...HMaegan Fields HIS 121-451 Essay 2 My Dearest Emily, I am writing you a series of letters, good and bad, of what my life was like. You have just been born and are a mere 3 days old and I am gravely sick. I wish for you to know what your mother’s life was like so you can use it to learn and love from and to also come to terms of your own if times have not changed. I have asked your father not to give you these until you are of age at the year 1213 or so. This medieval society will have evolved greatly by then. Your father and the lords will have already chosen your husband and I hope you love him as much as I have loved your father. I never want you to be unhappy and as an only child you should have the life I would have dreamed you to have. Ultimately our family is wealthy enough if you choose to serve god and join the nunnery and your father may not mention this because he has never been a fan. (Kagan, 217) I gained great skills as young child baking and sewing and until I fell ill I was able to help your father bring in plenty of money for us to sustain a good life. I had always dreamed of being able to become a doctor or veterinarian someday, hopefully you may have such dreams, but they would not allow us as women to have learned professions of medicine, law or scholarly concepts. (Kagan, pg. 218) You should never just consider yourself homely to make children and take care of your husband. Use your skills and try and be free, as your father always allowed me to be...

...September 9, 2014 Life Lessons Life is full of obstacles that you have to figure out how to maneuver around. It is full of challenges that you have to overcome. When you lose a loved one, you feel like it’s the end for you as well. Hopefully you can overcome the sadness and learn how to deal with not only the pain but also putting your life in order as well. I grew up with an older sister and a younger brother. Our parents were constantly gone. Busy working or out with friends. That left my siblings and I alone a lot. We taught ourselves to take care of each other. Mentally, physically and emotionally we were all each other had. That made the relationship we had with each other stronger than it could ever be. A promise was made between the three of us that we would always be there for one another. We would always help each other no matter what the circumstances were, and we would always protect each other. On January 7, 2009 my world changed forever. My brother was in a severe single vehicle accident that killed him. Alcohol and speed were both factors in the accident. Neither my brother nor his passenger was wearing their seat belts. Both were ejected from the vehicle. My brother lived long enough for me and my sister to get to the hospital and say our final goodbyes. His passenger lived, but sustained a broken neck that has healed. My brother left behind a one year old daughter and a daughter on the way. He had life insurance but did not have a...

...“the day I lost Louise, a day I prayed I would never see,” he continued, “I did my normal morning routine. On my way out, I kissed Louise goodbye. There’s no doubt that I loved her. I had no idea that would be the last time I saw her wonderful smile. Such an amazing woman, inside and out. Sometimes I felt like giving up on her because of the heart trouble, but I quickly fell back under her spell − so kind-hearted and loving. I learned to deal with such…oppression, that is, knowing that it was something she had absolutely no control over. She was genuinely the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. At times, I wish I had been the one to go that day. Then I imagine how she would have felt if I would have been the one to die. She sure wouldn’t have been any better off than I was in that moment. She sure wouldn’t be any more depressed than I am now…sure wouldn’t be any more uncertain about the future than I am,” he explained. “It was such an unfortunate loss, Brent. I just can’t even imagine how you could live and move on from that,” Richards said. “Well, Rich, it’s certainly not as easy as I thought it would be,” Brently explained, “and, not to mention, I still feel somewhat responsible for her death.” Brently felt guilty for sure, but not so much as relieved, after the passing of Louise. It was almost as if he had been suffocating in his marriage, and now that Louise was out of his life, he could finally breathe after so many years of not being able to. Brently had...

...Wheel of Life Strategies and How They Will Be Applied In My Life I am beginning my applied wheel of life strategy with Les Brown’s “You Gotta Be Hungry” video. I was very skeptical about listening to any motivational speaker over the years of my life because I did not feel anyone could tell me how to improve myself. I have always been a hard worker striving to reach the high pillars of any job I worked. Went to work early, stayed late and did whatever was asked of me by my supervisors until I learned to do things without asking or being asked to do them. This was what I thought living was. As I listened to Les Brown, I began to realize I don’t know jack. Even though my work ethic is stronger than most, I haven’t even scratched the surface of reaching my full potential in life. The first thing that hit me hard was hearing Les tell me to overcome negative conversations and stop listening to the critics and myself and just say ‘NO!’ to them all, including myself. That hit me hard because when I go to an interview I have second thoughts and psych myself out and then I’m all nervous and the interview isn’t as smooth and solid as it should be. Takes me about 10 to 15 minutes into the interview to begin to relax. I know I have what it takes to rock interviews and ensure I am the best candidate for the position I applied for. I have to learn to replace the negative conversations with positive ones. While I am in school, I have been looking for a job until I finish my schooling and get...

...Greetings from the past! If you are reading my letter then that means you have found the time capsule that we have left for you. I am hopeful that you will enjoy the new information you learn from me. My name is Brandy Taylor, I am writing this to give you my perspective and my knowledge of my present life and the society that I currently live in here in 2013. My hope is that with the information I tell you, you will gain a better understanding of how life is for me and my family during this time.

...“actually good”. I feel that what I need to be successful is hands on learning. At ITT I plan to achieve a career, not just to float through life one “job” after another. A goal that I started to attain before leaving high school is developing the ability to see the value in maintaining a positive attitude, regardless of the circumstances. When I include my goal in the curriculum, I have a better understanding on how positive words, positive character traits and positive thinking can impact life immediately now and in the future. Another goal of mine is to be happy. To be happy is the most important thing there is because you only have one life and if you go through it fighting, competing and struggling you have wasted your one life. Being a human on this planet is like winning the lotto and if people would act that way we could all help each other and try to make the time we have not be a waste. I think that's my ultimate goal... I don't know that it's everyone's, if it's THE ultimate goal or even if there is a THE ultimate goal. Also I was thinking that there is a difference between being happy and being gratified. To me being gratified is having enough food, money, air, friends, love, support, a car, a vacation every couple of months, and maybe chocolate brownies... Basically to me being gratified is about having enough good stuff come my way. Whereas being happy seems to me to be the effect of having good stuff come out of me, like kindness,...

...Narrowing down to on person who had had an impact on my life is a difficult task, and one that requires a lot of thought. There have been many, but as I travel back through my memories, one person stands out above the rest, my mother. Whether in the classroom or at home, that one individual continuously shines. She knows how to help me when a problem arises, she is there to pick me up when I fall, and she is there as my biggest supporter when all is going well. She always seems to know when to push me or when to just step back and allow me to learn life lessons. One example of her driving me to do my best is a time that I had an extremely tough exam in Chemistry. This was a must pass test and to make it worse, it was over a chapter where I struggled. I came close to giving up and failing the test, but somehow my mom knew I was fighting this battle. She came to me and explained how giving up would interfere with my dream of going to college. It might not keep me out of college, but it would set my standards lower than they needed to be. My mom did not force me to study, but instead, she allowed me to make a decision that would effect me right then and possibly in the future. My mom has made a huge impact in my life in such a positive way. She has pushed me to where I am now. Through her example and our many talks, I have learned that hard work and perserverance can and will take you a long way in this world. I did pass that...
