However, one twist was involved: college classes. I am taking four college classes this semester. Among the practices mentioned before, I added on many college level essays and research papers.

I used to work in a grocery store, there was a man who would come in fairly regularly and I would bag for him but we never spoke. I would greet him with a smile and a friendly hello but he never reciprocated. Over time I grew to resent him for it, I began to think of him as someone who was “too good” to speak to a bag boy. This went on and I became so engrossed in my own anger that whenever I saw him it would ruin my day. I hated this man who hadn’t given me any real reason to.

true here’s something that I think is funny. A Comedian named Jim Gaffigan. He’s so funny!

It was just before the sun set and you could smell the stench of each individual in line. Some smelled like year old gym sweet and others smelled more like the sickly sweet aroma of the bakery where they had no doubt spent their day. I sat down upon the small brick wall that I had been leaning upon for what felt like an eternity. Of course i did this with the help of my broad shouldered father who was almost as tried as I, a small blond four year old.

I wished for sleep, to escape the hoards of people, the extensive lines, and the most annoying of all, the screaming children being micromanaged by their unintelligent guardians.

In high school, everything was laid out for me, but in college I had to make many decisions for myself some of which did not go well. In addition, during this time, I had to work part-time. I also had significant responsibilities at home. My parents were not familiar enough with the English language, so it was up to me to handle all of the family bills and help them complete any paperwork. In addition, things became even more difficult when my mother went back to Egypt for six months leaving me the responsibility for managing our house. All of this additional work left me little time to handle schoolwork properly and my grades suffered. From my sophomore year on, I have been able to dedicate more time to my schoolwork and learned to manage my time more effectively which has improved my GPA from 3.1 to a

I continued to scrape through school until I had an exceptional science teacher, Mr. Patinelli for Freshman Biology. He was way ahead of the mindset curve. He told me I could learn and be smart. He invited me to join in his early morning Advanced Biology class, which I did. Suddenly, not only was I taking more classes than my peers, I was in class with upperclassmen. The more he believed in me, the more I believed in myself. By the time my freshman year was over, I knew I would be going to college, and I would be a

In a more modern era, however, comedy has taken storm to the television systems that were readily becoming more popular in the common homestead, with more and more comedy-based shows being created every day. With the rising growth of comedy in the television industry, new forms of comedy were being presented to audiences, in a form that was not possible before. Improvisational, skits, stand-up, sitcom, and more types of comedy have become exponentially easier to access following the creation of the television, and its growing popularity became evident early on as the amount of people tuning in daily increased. Television networks that were attempting to make a name for themselves tapped in on this growing trend of comedy, coming to the realization that it gave people to relax and enjoy a judgement-free environment where the whole purpose of the show was to
