Somewhere for Me

University in Virginia was the first time I have moved away from my home. For the most part I enjoy where I live even though sometimes life can be a bit boring. However, when I’m bored, my family is always there to keep me company. My mom, dad, sister, and brother are all very important to me and I love spending time with them. My dad has always said we are a family that sticks together like glue. This is true; I am always there for my family and I know they will always have my back. My sister and I are…

Roger And Me Roger And Me is a documentary that carries a considerable economic significance by presenting a modern version of capitalism, and by depicting an interesting example of Gunnar Myrdal’s theory of the circular and cumulative causation. Flint, the hometown of the filmmaker Michael Moore, has been built around the factories of one of the largest auto corporations in the world – General Motors. For decades on end the company has been prosperous, making high profits and keeping its workers…

The Greatest Emotion In the poem “somewhere i have never...”, author E. E. Cummings personifies the feeling of love and the almost mysterious and uncontrollable supremacy it seems to have over men. The poem is referring to the ability of the author’s, what seems to be, lover to affect him with “[her] most frail gesture[s] are things which me” (3). And yet, the author starts the poem by referencing his inexperience with love and almost expresses a wonder to this new experience (Cummings, 1).…

finding the ground of yourself, knowing where you come from and the elements that make you what and who you are. Yeah, for some people it does seem pretty easy. But from where I’m coming from, it’s a whole different story. Let me start off by sharing a little biography about me. My name is Denice Mikaela Bayson Mendoza a..k.a Mikee. I’m 20 years old and I live in Makati City. I studied pre-school, elementary and high school in St. Scholastica’s College Manila but got kicked out after my freshman year…

Me as a student “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn”. A quote by Benjamin Franklin that has always been important to me, and in following it I have grown to be more and more confident in my learning. This led to a growth in my confidence, and inevitably allowed me to learn in a way that suited me. To believe in myself has and will always be my first priority. Throughout the last 18 years of my life, I have come to have many regrets, and have faced a range of…

himself when he beheld himself in the mirror after gazing at Cosette for the inaugural time. It was the look of love. “Answer me!” He pleaded in desperation. “Um-somewhere to hide-“Marius spluttered in surprise. “She would go somewhere that was special to her, but somewhere she would think no-one knew about. Except, Enjolras…as close as I was to Eponine; she would never tell me that.” He frowned in sympathy as the hope in Enjolras’ eyes began to die. Not all would be lost, Marius would make certain…

eye. Nothing is dearer to my grandfather than family and everybody in this family treasures nothing more than his character. My dad’s attitude towards my grandfather is worth quoting. “I have never had more respect or trust towards a man. He gave me a foundation to live. He is a sense of home. I know I can always go to him for help.” You could not ask more from a father. My grandmother, Rachael, had her own words to describe my grandpa. “He is gentle. He is caring and loving.” Robert gave her his…

And that is, I believe, a true love. That is true love. Accepting someone despite all his shortcomings and errors in life is a big sacrifice. It is being selfless. It is heroic. And a person in love will bear this kind of sacrifice. But what worries me is that despite being very much in love with each other, eventually, the couple would part ways. And this is surprising. Many stories have been told about couples who have been going steady for many years and in the end, they break up. What must be…
