New York is a very popular city that everyone is familiar with when they heard of the names of Statue of Liberty, Time Square, and the Broadway, but this place to me is not only just an ordinary city; it is a home that I most feel safe and protected. It has a very special meaning in my life since it was the first home that my family and I resided when we came to America ten years ago. New York was filled with such wonderful memories such as when we tried to adapt to a new life, culture, new people

My family reminds me of Christmas hectic but at the same time merry and full of joy. Growing up my parents taught us that family always came first. I have always been proud coming from the family I come from for a variety of reason. I have the type of family that regardless of the situations we get into we manage to overcome them together. My parents are the type of parents that want nothing but the best for us. As a child I strongly believed I had the strictest parents I could have ever asked for

“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” -Christopher Reeve. Everyday we are all given a new obstacle or challenge to overcome, how we handle that obstacle will determine whether or not it gets solved or it defeats us. People tend to lose their composure and give up if they can’t figure out how to conquer something in such little time. Our society has degraded over the years and it seems that if we can’t get something done

when people think of courage they think of a knight in shinning armor, or a strong military leader but far more often, courage is in the little things like staying calm in the face of danger.What courage means to me is that it gives you the strength to say what ever you need to say no matter what situation or struggle your going through. When i think of courage i think of someone who would stand up to a school bully because others are to afraid to take that stance. We admire people who go out and

I have so many wonderful reasons to be thankful. Being thankful allows you to experience life to the fullest. I believe it is important to be thankful for my family and friends. Thankfulness allows you to appreciate what you have so you take care of your things. We should appreciate what we are given and use them with care. When you receive something new and valuable you should keep it in good condition and not let it be destroyed. We should all be thankful for everyday objects we use because many

Today, we took the farm over from Jones. Snowball and I are assuming ourselves leaders, because, quite frankly, we are the smartest on the farm. So far, the rebellion has been a huge success, and I hope I can aim towards being in full control of the farm. I have visions of an ample amount of money and food for the farm. The other animals are so stupid that they will not see a decrease in rations. They are so easy to convince, and as long as it fits within the rebellion’s goal, they will believe

Is there any of your friends, who loves smiling and keep saying ‘hello’ to everyone in a very cheerful way? There are people with such character and we can notice that they are the kind of people who have lots of friends. They deliver cheerful ambiance to their surroundings, so everyone always expects their presence. They make up their mind to be happy all the time, and they deliver positive energy to others. Believe it or not, some people with such character, whom I have known so well, are successful

The courage to venture into the unknown is a quality found in the hearts of those who bring opportunity into our world. This pure, unblemished faith is seen in revered explorers throughout history. Marco Polo, Ferdinand Magellan, Lewis and Clark, and Neil Armstrong were each faced with impossible tasks, and each enlightened humanity through their endeavors. Our restrictive sphere of knowledge is grappled with by these individuals, is twisted and expanded, constantly in a motion opposed by skeptics

Dictionary definitions could suffice, but to me, the word “courage” has more potential than that. Courage is learning to first ride a bike; an uneasy road with many bumps and scrapes gradually turn to into badges of strength and determination as you speed down the same road months later. Courage is standing in front of your classroom peers, with shaking hands and a trembling voice, to deliver the speech you worked on for days at end. Courage can take many forms, whether it be the strength to do,

Eventually, the eroding of identities and sense of agency eliminates the ideological resistance needed for a genuine uprising. Duncombe continues that the creation of a “’false consciousness’” occurs when an oppressed group is indoctrinated with a belief in the justice and uprightness of a system that oppresses them (2107). In fact, this same “false consciousness” seems to apply to Aunt Lydia herself, as she shares misogynistic values. She does not seem to consciously acknowledge her own oppression

“The tragic consequences of life can be overcome by the magical strength that resides in the human heart”, as said by Ultima. Antonio has this realization in chapter 22, when he realizes that Ultima has been trying to teach him all along.

Ask yourselves how much courage does one need to stand up and fight for what you believe in. As Nelson Mandela once said “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it, the brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers it”. Courage is the ability to do something that frightens one. Courage can also be defined as bravery, valor or even heroism. There are different types of courage, such as physical courage and moral courage. For example a firefighter

To me, courage is the strength to take a leap of faith even though you don’t know what might be lying below. I once had the courage to do what fear and anxiety were guiding me away from. This courage was jumping 16 feet off of Jaws Bridge into the dark, rocky, thrashing sea. For years I had toyed with the idea of jumping off Jaws Bridge on our annual trip to Martha’s Vineyard. At first, fear took over my body and forced me to say, “No way am I jumping off of that bridge!” But as the years progressed

‘Wish’ by Carol Ann Duffy is about wishing to resurrect a body. It presents death in rewind and undoes all the suffering that has to do with death. ‘Wish’ is a very personal poem compared to the other poems Carol Ann Duffy had written. However, although it is quite personal, it is also a mixture of being personal and connecting with the public, since it relates to the themes of mistreated women from earlier in her collection of poems. The ‘wish’ in this poem is to undo every suffering; to resurrect

Emily Dickinson is a well-known poet in American Literature for her poetry about nature and love along with her weird relationship with God. I enjoyed her poems because it made me think about my own life. She was pulled from school when she was a child by her dad and stayed home for a while and started making poetry bundles at a time. She studied mostly nature and the environment when she was in school at the age of 15, knowing how she feels about science she then went to a Seminary for school and

Do you lead by example? If not you should and if you do good, because not all people lead by example! Most people copy others they think are are cool, or are their friends. I have been there once. I am fourteen years old and I have seen many movies, and read some books, and seen people on the news doing many wrong things then many people follow. In movies and books the main character does something and like at my house my little brother follows. Leading by example is put into two groups reality and
