Dear family, mother, father, dearest grandmother, and beloved cousins, if my misfortune is your happiness, then I'll gladly suffer. If my wails at night are music to your ears, then I’ll write you a symphony. If my blood, sweat, and tears keep you shining, then I’ll bleed you an ocean. To my family of whom I would do anything for, if the Hannah Pham in front of you doesn't meet your standards, then, I’ll gladly see her out. Almost every Asian child is taught the most fundamental principle of our
Many experiences through my life have shaped me into the person I am today. Some of them are so insignificant I can't even place them, but others I will remember until I take my very last breath. I will never forget what happened to my family and I since the time my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. Because my grandmother had cancer for a good portion of my childhood, I became very mature, gained a new respect for people, and I have developed a new outlook on life. My grandmothers diagnosis made

Another Life The message rang in my ear. I could not believe what I was hearing. My body had gone completely numb. I no longer could feel myself sitting, but only felt sharp ice cold pains that the table was sending through my body. This just can not be true. I do not have time for this. How could I have this happen to me? I wanted to speak but could not find the words. What was there to say? I sat on that cold icy table, his eyes watching with concern.

An Autobiography by Lee Iacocca might be similar with My Early Life by Winston Churchill, however Churchill’s text is a memoir while Iacocca’s is an autobiography. Both texts are aimed at those who might be inspired by the two great leaders famous for their achievements in history, or to those who want to become them, or simply those who are interested in their stories.

the most out of life. It is an open path that can be taken a number of different ways. Out of the seven billion people in this world, you were born to be someone, not born to try and live another person's life, but to live your own in the distinct ways that describe who you are.

AlSamari. Pursuit Of Happiness When I was a kid I believed that life will go on no matter what happened, and money was not an issue.
