“I got up and pretended to study the pictures on the walls like I was a lover of religious art. When I got to the Merciful Mother right above Sinita’s head, I reached in my pocket and pulled out the bottom I’d found on the train. It was sparkly like a diamond and had a little hole in back so you could thread a ribbon through it and wear it like a romantic lady’s choker necklace.

At the age of 16, I had won the Junior Canadian National Championships in my division and qualified to be on the Junior National team. Being on the junior national team gave me the opportunity to represent Canada at the 2016 Junior world taekwondo championships, which made me feel very content, thrilled, but as well very nervous. The world championship was to be taken place at Burnaby AB, Canada which made it even better, being in your hometown and being able to represent the hometown country. Since Nationals had taken place in May, and Worlds would be in November, I had quite a while to prepare for this large event. I had trained 2 hours every day from Monday to Thursday, and on Saturday I would train 5 hours. This continued throughout

He looked at the snake stamped against the packed earth.

I finished the last of my soylent supplements and threw them viciously into the trash can, I wiped off the leftover on my face and clawed my way for another bottle.

Taking stock, he noticed she wore two of the prettiest, crystalline blue eyes that he had ever seen. He had caught them briefly when she looked up his way while examining some trinkets on a nearby rack. The store manager, Rick Hawkins, had liked to keep what he called “pocket items” and some other cheap, frail plastic children’s toys near the counter. He hoped that by placing these poorly made and quickly disposed of novelties in direct view of the younger clientele it would entice kids into asking—no begging—their parents into buy them something while they stood in line.

I was born in Manhattan, before there were efforts to introduce New Yorkers to “green spaces” and “street trees.” Concrete and steel held me in their grasp; I could have walked multiple blocks without seeing the color green beyond an occasional glimpse of dead grass and limp shrubbery from a “secret garden.” There was comfort in the noise of traffic, the rumble of the subway, and the clamorous conversations.

Being the first born to both of my parents, I have a deep understanding of what lab rats must feel while being experimented on. Whether it was my refusal to pull out my loose teeth, or my passionate, undying love for putting legos in my mouth, I was constantly surprising my mother. I paved the way for my two siblings, convincing my parents to let me have a phone at the ripe age of twelve and a half (my sister would get one at eleven, my brother at ten), pleading with my mother to not make cheese covered broccoli (such a dish has never been placed on our table since), and even championing the movement to repaint our bedrooms (pink is so 2011). But the most shocking, and perhaps the most important, astonishing feature I posses is in my two

It had been 30 years since Antarctica had melted and society in the mainland was beginning to break down. Buildings lay dry and burned down, except for some places which got tropical storms almost daily. Minnesota had been washed out, all the rivers flooding. The buildings lay abandoned, sinking into the swampy marsh that the state had become, along with Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa. All this had been the result of the Great Lakes spilling over into the land because of rainfall. Living here was not possible. It was where you were sent to prison from the Ocean Districts. The prisoners never came back after they were sent to the Midwestern Marshes. Along the mainland, about 200 miles out in the ocean at the most, there were tremendous

After gaining insights of the history of the development of the SMEs and the motivational factors of young entrepreneurs to establish a business, there is potential obstacles that young entrepreneurs might face in financial options from the start-up. SMEs have difficulties in having access to formal finance and are more financially constrained than larger enterprises. According to Beck and Demirguc-Kunt (2016)’s survey, “the probability that a small firm lists financing as a major obstacle (as opposed to moderate, minor or no obstacle) is 39% compared to 36% for medium-size firms and 32% for large firms.” The result shows that SMEs have a harder time than large enterprises in accessing to finance options. For a reason, Beck and

Wars have been waging on the Earth as far back as written history in its various forms of art could document. In the past, military conflict was far more unforgiving than it is today as modern international humanitarian laws have regulated war to a certain extent. Civilians are now protected against various war crimes such as genocide and therefore distanced from the wars waged by their nation’s government against enemies. This distance and protection given to the civilian population has numbed them to the various horrors of war going on overseas. People do not have to worry about their safety or the lives of their children when the closest thing to war people experience is provided by images and video from limited news coverage in the
