that something so silent, on paper, could make so much noise and mean so much to me. It became the instrument of the performance that I am allowed to perform every day and hopefully to the end of my days. Writing is an object, a subject, a talent, and a path. The way you see it is entirely up to you, but for me it is and always has been something I could never stray far from. My life began when I was born, but the life I am talking about is the one I was dealt at the age of five. My mother and father

through my mind as I prepared to begin the Unplugged Challenge and disconnect from the internet for five days. Several questions crossed my mind before I began. How will I stay connected with people? What if I miss an email naming me the Publishers Clearing House ‘Grand Prize Winner?’ Could I live for nearly a week without the search capability of Google or the hilarious videos of YouTube? It seemed to me that living without the internet was akin to losing an arm. Would I be able to survive without it?

viewing the results I realized that I needed improvement and quick! Since I scored low on two questionnaires it was dire for me to focus on being generally more satisfied in life and any situation that I may come across. I sensed that my whole perspective on life was jumbled up and it required serious modification. Past events caused me to be more closed off and it stopped me from going on adventures with people I hold dear to my heart. There were many variables that facilitated my motivation for

like I have never had a break. I was never able to concentrate on school because I was just always worried about what everyone was saying about me. I was in and out of school, skipping class, hiding in bathrooms just to ignore the akward step of walking into a classroom. I never had anyone to talk to about these things, so I just kept everything inside of me. My mother "then", was not focused on us. She didnt wake us up in the mornings, she didnt get us ready for school, she wouldnt take us to school

their unexpected questions. One such thing happens to me sometimes back. The T.V was on but I wasn’t really watching, my mind was plastered on the meeting that I was going to be held tomorrow, but my daughter’s curiosity had the better of me. It was 19:30 and during the news report it was inevitable that the PM had to be mentioned. My daughter precipitously looked at me with a puzzle face and asked “Dad, what is a Prime Minister.” It took me sometimes before I could response; my daughter was only

Memories I Hold Dear It was August 24, 2010 – hot, hot, hot, and my first day on the job for Gary Stark. I parked my beat up, brown and cream, 1980, Bronco, in the trailer lot near two, very large, fancy stock trailers, and walked up to the front of the barn where it met with the arena, as I saw Stark riding a small, sorrel, gelding around, working on his stopping, backing, and his general ability to move off of his hind end, my life began to be put into perspective, and I knew nothing, but I so badly

Money buys food to eat and electricity for light. Money buys new cars for transportation. Without money, it would be very hard to live in this world. There are people that are homeless and live under bridges, but those homeless people go out every day still chasing that dollar, whether it be panhandling or recycling. Why? Well, that’s because they need to eat and drink and they simply can’t do that without having money. But in the end, does money buy happiness? Gertner (2003) states money can buy

Because I had a goal in mind, I was persistent despite the obstacles. For example, students in ESL were taken out of the classroom at a certain time around of the day and be placed in a small room. We would miss fun activity because of our thick accent. Instead, we would practice our speech with each other. I felt it was more of a punishment to be in ESL than getting the help that it was supposed to provide us. I
