Today I am going to tell you all a story about the time I was over dramatic, which is basically all time. Anyways, let me provide you guys with some background. My old eighth grade class and I went on a trip to the east coast and during this time in the story it was the sixth day of our trip and we just came from Washington D.C. and we just arrived in Williamsburg, Virginia.

...relapsed for many times. According to investigations, there are around 25 millions of people in Japan got this illness and in Hong Kong also reaches almost 5 millions of people. What I am talking about now is not a cancer, not an AIDS. It’s a psychological illness -- the depression. Today I would like to share what I've learned about the affect of depression about the transformation of mood and willpower. People who got depression, most of times are in an obvious and persistent low mood. They lost interests of life and thinks that all the things need to do of life are missions, which is tough to accomplish. It was like, as Andrew Solomon said, the opposite of depression—the vitality of life, seems to seep away in that moment. Imagine that if a person finding his life is meaningless, without vitality, remaining painful and suffering. What would they do? After knowing how it changes a person’s mood, we’ll pass to the willpower. As the saying goes, willpower creates people, so to say the destruction of one’s willpower is also destroying one person. When self-abasement attacks a person directly, reducing his confidence and the person keep on blaming himself, all of these could disaggregate a person step by step. Here are one example, she's a poet named Maggie Robbins, who got major depressive disorder, said that she need to sing ’Where Have All The Flowers Gone’ over and over to blot out the thoughts of ‘you are nothing. You are nobody. You don’t deserve...

I rushed off the train as fast as I could, and everything around me felt like it was in fast forward.The day we arrived was my dad’s birthday. We got dressed and waited in line for our reservation at the Eiffel Tower. Everybody crammed into 1 elevator. Nobody had any expression on their faces about how little personal space they had. I slightly looked up noticing a sign that said, “Please keep your belongings close and watch out for pick pocketers,” which shocked me to even realize they have to put up a sign telling you not to trust the people around you.I was very...

As soon as eighteen rolled around though, the appointment was made. It was something that was always on my list of things to do. I went out and got a tattoo on my eighteenth birthday, my excitement was shared with everyone, but it lead to anxiety, bullying from classmates and disappointment in myself. The one thing that was etched on my skin forever was constantly on my mind. Troubles arose when choosing what design to go with. I had thoughts of a bird and flower for the longest time, but the idea changed right before the appointment. A simple flower and leaf design is...

Could you look it up, please? Receptionist: Hmmm... ok, let me check on the computer. It's physics, right? Wait, did you say physics 403? Student: Yeah. Receptionist: Er…I'm sorry, but it says here that it was cancelled. You should have got note letter from the Registrar's office about this. Student: What? I've never got it. Receptionist: Are you sure? 'Cause it says on the computer that the letter was sent out to students a week ago. Student: Really? I should have got it by now. I wonder if I threw it away with all the junk mail by mistake. Receptionist: Well, it does happen. Er… let me check something. What's your name? Student: Woodhouse, Laura Woodhouse.

...The last spring I remember once I had someone very dear to me, someone that left deep traces in my life, someone that would live in my heart forever, someone that I will never forget. In order to preserve the memory of this angel, a divine human creature, I devote this story to my friend because her innocence and her fragility has been inspiring me for years. I hope that many people will understand the hidden message once they've read the story. It was a wonderful spring dawning. The air was poisoned with nothing else but the strong smell of the spring flowers and the joy of the birds' songs. We were holding our hands and happily as happy can two little girls be, we were bouncing and jumping in the park. Spring could be seen in our eyes, sunshine could be recognized in our smile. It seemed to us like we were flying in the air as two colourful butterflies from a flower to a flower, each of them more and more beautiful, each of them more and more attracting, as if they were the last days of our lives and each of them was more and more challenging. Smiling faces everywhere, people could envy our happy childhood reflected in the deepness of our sight. We were so excited in those spring rainbows above our heads without knowing that this would be our last spring together, remembered afterwards as the coldest one and the darkest one in my life. It's funny how Marta and I met at a beach resort. We could never imagine that we were going to be inseparable friends. Although...

...A STORY OF HONESTY A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his directors or his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young executives in his company together. “It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO,” he said.”I have decided to choose one of you.” The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued. “I am going to give each one of you a seed today – a very special seed. I want you plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO.” One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed. He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story. She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed.Every day, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow. Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing. By now,others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn’t have a plant and he felt like a failure.Six months went by – still nothing in Jim’s pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing...

...Sister Flowers vs. Fish Cheeks Lakisha M. Couch English 121: Composition I January, 10 2014 Instructor: Brad Trolly The story of Sister Flowers by Maya Angelou and Fish Cheeks by Amy Tan gives us two different examples of how two young ladies manage to overcome embarrassment and cultural differences. Although both have labeled their situation as “embarrassing”, it is clear that both situations are coming from two different aspects. The story Sisters Flowers depicts educational differences, whereas Fish Cheeks describes a young lady facing the embarrassment of pride and cultural differences. According to our text book, the idea of descriptive writing is the kind of writing that describes person, place or thing in such a way that is forms a picture in the readers head. In order for one to capture such an event one would have to pay close attention to each detail by using their five senses. As I read the story of Sister Flowers, I felt as though this story definitely follows the guidelines of a good descriptive story. For example: Sisters Flower by Maya Angelou discloses a revelation of an important mentor in the life of Marguerite. The character, Sister Flowers, is painted as an individual who was kind, respectful, educated, and inspirational. She was an aristocratic and highly cultivated person who had the ability to reach out and bring forth a positive impact on the lives of those that resided in her community. Marguerite was a young girl who was trapped in her...
