Comedy is a universal language. The world was meant to have laughter. However, the definition of comedy can vary from one country to another. What may be hysterical in one part of the world can seem dry to another part.

We went to see what it was, but we don’t remember what happened after that. This morning, we woke up, but we never went to sleep.” “What do you mean you never went to sleep?” Montague asked. “I mean, we don’t remember going to sleep.

of pills just because my ego got out of control and when I couldn’t get my way, I did the unthinkable. I was mad and disappointed, and my granddad came into my room trying to calm me down; after I explained to him just how much I wanted to exit this earth, he went and did the craziest thing and told me that watching over me was the only reason he was still alive…… Why the heck did he go and say that?

Let 's start from the beginning. High school for me was a period of transition in my life. A stage of growth, hormonal changes, molding of the personality. Going from middle school to high school I realized that it was not the same thing: we had a different building, we crossed the hallways with older students; the teachers were different. t was supposed to be focused on getting good grades, making my parents feel proud of me and taking advantage of the great opportunity that was given to me which

My mother is of Italian descent and both her parents were born in Italy. I have always been proud that I am the son of an Italian immigrant and feel that my Italian heritage has helped me to develop my character and my work ethic. I was named after my grandfather, Alessandro. There is an older
years, you start with nothing. And you can’t expect to figure everything out by staying in a place you have always known. I’m in college now, and I’m yearning to know who I am more than ever. What will I be out of college? Will I be okay? What will my career be? Why am I in college in the first place? These questions haunt me, and I don’t have answers for them.

It was a small surprise in the middle of a park in Fort Lauderdale on a scorching hot day. I recall playing soccer on the grassy plains, receiving gifts and the abundance of laughter in the air. The only problem is, I only remember vague images in my mind that I pieced together, instead of concrete details. Images and videos allow us to see ourselves
