It was a stormy, Tuesday night at ‘Walmart’. I walked into the store looking for one thing, and one thing only. A couple minutes passed and then I saw her. I instantly thought she was the one and no one else could satisfy my desperate needs for her. As I walked into aisle 5 I noticed I was not the only one after her. I was insistent that she was going to be mine, so I fought hard and strong for her. The fight felt like it lasted days and nights, but it truly only was about 5 minutes. Fighting for her was challenging, but at last she was mine, I walked up to her and took her to the register. I payed $14.87 for her (including tax), but to me, she was priceless. I looked into her eyes on a Friday night at 9:30 p.m. I was beginning to

I just sat there for 15 minutes spacing out until she slapped me in the face and walked away, at that moment I knew she liked me. The next day I told all my friends, they all said the same thing “It was just a coincidence”, I thought otherwise. The next morning I walked up to her and asked her how her day was. She responded with “Good” while yawning. I could tell she had a rough time falling asleep last night. Almost like a weight was on top of her the entire night. I took her to the movies that night and we watched ‘Minions”. The movie was 1 hour and 47 minutes, after the movie we went to ‘Potbelly’s’ on a romantic date. After that we headed to my house, things were starting to get serious. I walked up into my room and found her already lying on the bed, she was in a short red nightgown. We start talking and she tells me how romantic the movie and the dinner was. We laid down in bed together and watched cartoons for a while until we both …show more content…
The only reason it lasted this long is because I did not want to take the risk. Something inside me finally cracked, I decided to take the ultimate risk. I am going to clean the love of my life in a questionable way. I took preliminary precautions that I would have normally never done, for example putting in bath salts, child friendly bubbles, and of course brushes. Just before I cleaned her she said one last thing that I may never forget, “This may be the end of my life, but may our relationship exist forever.” The next day I moaned and cried for hours, that day I wanted to go hide, escape reality, or do something. Although I could not let this happen, things are meant to happen, and they all happen for a reason. This tragedy acted as a coming of age to me, I decided that I need to go out into the world and meet people. Although I was too sad to let this happen, all I thought was “WWWHHHYYYYYY.” Then the thought dawned on me, a thought so meaningful it was like I was being brought back to life, ‘she’ was just a

    The imaginary invention I like the most is “Dreamaker Pillow”. The purpose of Dreamaker Pillow is to help people with insomnia by creating dreams. All you have to do to make a dream is downloading your favorite scenes from movies onto cell phone, taking selfies and sleeping with Dreamaker Pillow. This will make it easier to sleep. One thing I like about this pillow is that I can create my own dreams. Though it takes time to create dreams without given plots. But this pillow is definitely going to help me with my sleep problem.…

    Her reasons traveled with her to her grave. I suffered from that. And then there was that former soulmate, who went around telling really tall tales about me. When we broke up, my heartsickness settled in for a long, long while. I can only describe that sorrow as suffering. By the time her rumors came to light, I didn’t even care anymore, thank goodness! Nevertheless, It’s impossible for me to forget how I vowed to never let anyone else in. And how I reversed course, only to be disappointed again. This is life—joy, pain, learning, forgetting, and starting all over again.…

    Since I own a muscle car (Dodge charger R/T), It was easier for me to explain to him why I was siding on the side of muscle cars. I was very confident that I was going to win this argument and quite frankly I think I did (self-imposed prophesy). The text Looking out Looking in explains in chapter two that “self-imposed prophecies occur when your own expectations influence your behavior. I also knew that for me to present my case properly I had to use Identity management. The text Looking out Looking in defines Identity management in chapter 2 as “ the…

    Trying to go to school the next day. Standing in the shower thinking maybe if I dont get out I wouldn't have to start my day and move on with it all. But as the water turns to a shivering cold I realize it’s all too real. Pushing through the first five periods of the day, the last three seemed as too much. Feeling as if I will never be able to be happy again. All these gloomy days crafted me into who I am today. This whole experience making me grow up just a little bit faster, and a little more mature and understanding seeming as I already live the life as an adult, but only being a…

    I was a camp counselor at Camp Wabikon ‒ a co-ed overnight summer camp located in Temagami, Ontario for children who are 6-15 years of age. Along with teaching Red Cross swimming and lifesaving and Tennis, I was my cabin's 'parent' for six weeks. Therefore, I was present with the children at all times. In essence, I was the leader of my cabin's the physical, social and mental development. The main things I learned were the importance of time management and organization , as I had to plan lessons for swimming and Tennis while taking care of my cabin; conflict resolution between campers; and the ability to plan and foresee events (I had to plan camp-wide events and activities for all campers).…

    As I walked into the Montgomery, Alabama bus station, there were people swarming all around me. The air was hot and humid because it was mid-July, and in Alabama the summers can be very uncomfortable! I could smell the coffee cart brewing its morning batches of coffee and the cookies and scones that would be served throughout the day. As I was debating about buying an iced coffee and a muffin, I saw her. She was walking toward me with a steady gait and her chin held high. Her coffee colored skin glistened from sweat, and her black hair was pulled back into a severe bun probably to make her feel cooler. As she got closer, I stood with my hand out ready to shake her hand.…

    My first initial thought of her at first glance was that she is the most beautiful individual on the face of this planet. Once I was given the ability to fully observe her in her ever so captivating glow, I instantly knew what it meant to feel unconditional love. I began to feel a sense of ownership as I wanted to do anything in the world for her and to protect her by any means necessary. It was truly a remarkable and wondrous cognizance in which I experienced that faithful day. She gazed up at me as she wrapped her whole tiny hand around my pointer finger. I tell her I love her gently as I have never meant anything so much in my life. As we hold one another, I start to contemplate different aspects of my life. At this point, I then decided that my child is what really matters to me now and that I need to be the parent that she deserves. Never have I had another person to care for or take care…

    When I first glimpsed you amidst the crowd, I thought that my eyes had deceived me. Before I laid my eyes upon your charming face, I had never imagined that such beauty could exist in a woman. As I continued to stare at you from across the street, you caught my eye and feelings inside me that I never knew existed bubbled to the surface. A love that was deep, red, and pure engulfed me. Since that encounter, I have dreamt of a day that we would get married, have children, and live a long and happy life. Those happy thoughts flooded my mind, and I was swallowed by the love I had for you.…

    The next day I was getting ready to leave for class when she walked in the backdoor. She had brought home a few groceries so I helped her carry them up the stairs. It was then I began to ask her about her day at work. She first began to tell me how she had a rough day because some of her co workers came in late. She wasn’t in the best mood but I still kept inching closer. After about thirty seconds she gave a confused look and awkwardly began backing up. I couldn’t help but to laugh at the look she gave me. I started explaining that it was an experiment for my sociology class and it wasn’t until then that she found humor in the situation. We laughed together for a few seconds and she asked me why did I choose her? I told her that I knew she would give the most honest response.…

    The day after the Presidential Election, my girlfriend Amanda and I discussed how we felt the next four years might go for our country. Due to our slightly opposing views (I say that very lightly), the discussion quickly turned heated. One issue that was brought up in the conversation was abortion. I am very Pro- Life, whereas Amanda is wishy-washy when it comes to the subject. Whilst beginning our excruciatingly draining chat about a touchy subject, I naturally went on my “defense mode” and used Position #1: “I’m right you’re wrong”. I started a rant of how abortion should be abolished in this country, and how inhumane it is. I was raised in a Catholic family that has always viewed abortion as murder, so in my mind, how could there be any other side? As the conversation progressed, I calmed my speech a little bit and let her take center stage. Amanda brought up, “What about the cases with rape and incest? Also, if the government makes abortion illegal, they are going to go back to old-school methods of termination. Think about how dangerous that is. People will find a way to do it, whether it is legal or not” I started using Position #2 of “You’re right, I’m wrong”. I said, “You’re right, people have been having abortions for thousands of years. Making a law that would abolish it would do nothing.” This is where we came to Position #3 together. “Both right, both wrong.” She agreed that I had good points to my side, and I agreed that she did as well. Also, we agreed that some of our own views were a little bit extreme due to past experiences that we both had during our lives, thus making each of our arguments biased. This led me to Position #4 that “the issue isn’t important”. Although this issue is still extremely important to me, I decided that I was not going to get so heated to the point that I was going to let opposing views ruin my closest friendship. Lastly was Position #5, “There…

    It’s midnight and as I expected, a black Ford F-150 Truck with tinted windows pulls up to my house. I walk outside holding a backpack with my portable speakers and a baseball bat. However, I quickly change my mind and leave the baseball bat inside the house. I hop into the back seat of the truck and am greeted by four large burly kids. “What’s up Matt?” says Ben who is sitting in the drivers seat. With music blasting, Ben takes off the parking brake and presses his foot down onto the gas pedal. Soon we are heading down dark winding roads as we listen to music from Captain Murphy, which contributes to our mischievous mood. Finally we arrive.…
