Personal Narrative: We Talk About Living Intentionally

In addition, people are losing focus on the main importance of life and they only focus is technology and what benefits it brings them either bad or good.In ready player one, the author shows corruption through Nolan Sorrento, IOI's Head of

This past year, I have been apart of Naperville Central’s brand new Special Spaces club. When my friend approached me and asked me to join, I agreed even though I had no clue what I was involving myself in. In retrospective, I can honestly say that becoming a part of Special Spaces has been one of the most meaningful, fun, and fulfilling experiences I have had in high school.

Over my years of school, one big influence on me has always been sports. Ever since a young age, I have always enjoyed playing and watching sports. In my four years in high school, I have fell in love with the sport of lacrosse.

I woke up and took one bite out of my pop tart but that one bite was all I could eat. My legs were shaking, and my heart was pounding. My dad told me, “It is a true honor to even make it this far so go out there and have some fun.” Once I heard this statement, I knew I was ready to go. I arrived at school and boarded the bus. The car ride was an hour and fifteen minutes of hearing the squeaking of the wheel on the bus. My teammates were getting their heads ready for the big game.

When we aren’t honest and our societies pick that up our communities will break down.According to Simon Gachter “people from more corrupt societies were likely to be more dishonest than those from societies where rulebreaking is frowned upon.” (Gachter,2016) This proves that without honesty and admiration our community breaks down.Although when we do we inspire future generations to be polite and run our nation right.This show that honesty is key to a successful

I quickly swallowed my homemade authentic Indian food leftovers and gulped down my chocolate milk. Looking down at my watch that read 11:28am, I knew that I only had two minutes until my most favorite part of the day: recess. This particular day in 5th grade, I had run a lap around the playground before getting the rest of recess to myself. As I started walking for my warmup, another student ran up and said, “My parents said that your people caused 9/11.” Completely caught off guard, I held back the tears in my eyes and tried to shake off his comment. I had never encountered something like this.

     Everyone is so corrupt beyond words could describe. I don’t know where to start? To start on the fact that no one can walk on two legs? Or that they’re between them? The gossip that goes on is so shallow. Looks, status, a large bank account is all that anyone cares about. What about beneath the surface like character and responsibility? These people throw morality out the window without the slightest bit of hesitation or consideration. Just as long as they get what they worked so hard for. The only time these despicable people

Walking away from everything you once knew and starting over is never a picnic. Leaving Iraq, and moving to America has impacted my life more than anything. I was only 4 years old at that time, and the only English I spoke was “excuse me, water please.” My family and I did not know it then, but our lives were going to change; we would become “Americanized”. Learning English was one of the massive changes that occurred, the way I dressed (culture), and even the way I had power to go to school and educate myself.

I’m fairly new to the adult romance genre, and after reading a few that I adored I got a blogger friend of mine to give me some recommendations. On her list of recommendations for romances that are more rom-com was Melissa Foster’s The Real Thing. This was my first Melissa Foster book and I absolutely loved it! I’m so glad I decided to pick up this one as one of my first picks. he Real Thing takes place in a small town called Sugar Lake and features Zane and Willow who have a somewhat complicated history. I loved that they technically started out as friends and kept in touch all those years before getting together as it just made their chemistry and relationship all the more steamier and swoonier. And while the fake relationship trope was used

Morals, values, and ethics are one of the most important characteristics of a person. These features define who we are and what we believe in. Many different factors come in to play when determining a person`s morals, values, and ethics; childhood upbringing, later life experiences, family, friends, culture, religious beliefs, race, discussions with others, and many others that have an affect a person’s beliefs (Head, 2006). There are times when a person`s beliefs do not agree with someone else’s, which does not mean that one of these people is wrong, it means that we, as individuals, do not all think the same. As a whole, most people have a good sense of right and wrong, which is to say that for the most part most people have good morals,

Waking up to your mom screaming is never an ideal way to get up in the morning. However this time she wasn’t screaming because she was made at me but because she was shocked. Still somewhat groggy, I jumped out of bed and rushed to the kitchen. This is where I saw the dishwasher spewing water all over the kitchen, glass shards all around the floor, and my mom with a monstrous cut on her bloody hand. As the initial panic began to set in, I felt frantic and unsure of what to do as my mind raced to all the different ways to handle these problems: should I clean up the glass, call the plumber, help stop the bleeding, or to call someone else who was more capable of dealing with circumstances like these.

Have you ever been so desperate for something that you modify your motive in its entirety? Throughout my life I’ve found myself placed in this frightening situation multiple times; the most confusing of which would be what I’ve endured this year. People in their 20s have it rough. We’re old enough to feel like we’re supposed to know what we’re doing, yet young enough to roll in the tide aimlessly and clueless and it still be acceptable. Then there’s those of us who believe we’ve got it all figured out only to be proven tremendously wrong. I have learned, however, that being tremendously wrong can lead you right where you need to be.

‘Corruption, embezzlement, fraud, these are all characteristics which exist everywhere. It is regrettably the way human nature functions, whether we like it or not. What successful economies do is keep it to a minimum. No one has ever eliminated any of that stuff.’

Throughout the history of mankind there has been one thing that has always been around. And that thing is power. From the time of cavemen there were alphas, B.C. there were rulers, and now we have monarchs, prime ministers, and dictators. And with these owners of power came an inevitable con. And that con is corruption.

Think about your life, as to how you want to live the rest of your life. If you decide to continue living the same life, no one can stop you nor help you. But if you are sincere to start a new life; you are willing to give all your effort to change into a different person, help is always available. Believe me, you are not beyond help.
