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
death at any age is difficult, but for Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and John Sullivan, it came early, resulting in two essays retelling their experience. In their accounts of these situations, the author can see they both want to emphasise that death can come in very unexpected situations. To My One Love, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, begins on page 17 of 50 Essays by Samuel Cohen. In her essay, set in present day, she has flashbacks to her relationship with a boy “from the wrong side of town” named Nnamdi
I believe in love. Love is a very strong thing, and I believe that love can be the most obvious thing. But I also think that love can be completely blind. I believe there are different types of love. I am going to tell you about my experiences with these different types of love. One type of love I experienced was my very first encounter with any type of love. It is the loving bond of family. I am a momma’s boy myself, but I also couldn’t live without my dad. My mom and I have a very close relationship
I was loved even before I was born, that is what my parents always told me. To be loved and fully accepted without reservation is their greatest gift to me. Raised by Christian parents who modeled Christ’s love, my early life was uneventful and peaceful. I followed the rules and never got in any serious trouble. So for the first ten years of my life, my faith was not tested and had no chance of maturing. My life of ease did not incite me to seek God or his purpose for me. God was in the background
people who would be described as “bookish”. The moment a book has charmed me, I am fully engrossed by it. Throughout my life, my fondness for books has reflected on my reading and writing abilities. Early in my life, my literary skills were already being developed. My best teachers were my three older sisters. They loved to teach me words and read to me as much as they could. My mother recalls that I knew the alphabet by age two and by preschool was learning sight words and nursery rhymes. There
first book I read. By that I don’t mean the actual first book I ever opened, I mean the first book that actually meant something more than just a few words on a page. I can still feel the unfamiliar rush of excitement that flowed through me every time my third grade teacher said it was time to read. To many people literacy is defined as the ability to read and write. For others, being literate means being educated or it means some sort of social status. There are also people who believe that literacy
fall in love with reading. No one in my family was an avid reader in their youth, in the same way that no one in my family was the type to make perfect grades in all their classes. But I was the one to break this stereotype formed by my family. They didn’t know what to do with me, a slightly chubby girl with her nose up a book at all times, who would read as she walked, as she talked, as she ate, as she laughed. Although I have certainly grown from being that young girl and have found my outlet in
My Love, I can 't express to you how much fun I had with you this weekend or how much I am looking forward to our next adventure together. So I 'm at least going to make an attempt here to tell you how much this trip and this time with you mean to me. I loved everything about this trip...except maybe our late night detour in the Pisgah Forest Walmart. Even then I 'm just glad I was with you. I will definitely never forget that night or how unbelievably happy I was to see that tow truck. I 'm not
Having a first love can change your life for the better in so many ways. My first love did that and much more. The best part of it I didn’t expect any of it. The first time I was introduced to her I was working at a place called smoothie king. I remember her walking in she was stunning basically, breath taking. I've never seen anyone as gorgeous as her. When she first walked in the first thing I noticed was her long slick hair and a smile of an angel. Her eyes where amazing as a result I would just
fell in love at first sight. I recently moved to the village to learn magic from a famous wizard sage. I went exploring to get familiar with the place and I somehow wondered into the forest This is where I met the love of my life and I saw the most beautiful creature I have ever laid eyes on. She was sleeping under a big oak tree with a book on her chest and like a creep I hid behind a tree and watching over her in case any wild beasts comes to disturb her. As years goes by I used up all my luck
