When I was around ten years old, I had a slight obsession with eating steak. Anytime my family and I would go out to eat dinner at a restaurant I would always order steak. In retrospect, doing this was probably not very healthy (or good for my parents’ wallets.) Anywho, one day we had gone to Cracker Barrell and you can only imagine what I ended up ordering. Yes, you guessed it. Steak. Since I was used to eating steak from the countless times I had had it before, I started taking larger bites than

I, for one, am a highschool student in the Universal American School of Kuwait. This year is the first year in which the BYOD program is in use, the Bring Your Own Device program. Last year, you couldn’t use your device unless the teacher tells you to do so or you will get punished. This year, you are required to bring your device and if you do not bring it, you will get punished. What does this tell you? It tells you that the Universal American School, a college preparatory school, is trying to

Chapter One: He was sleeping, anyway with a gun inside his boots next to the bed. Silence, it was everything. In the middle of the night, he heard a breath. It was not his breath. He realized that wasn’t alone, so he tried to stretch his arm to get the boots, but they weren’t there. In that moment he sat on the bed prepared to fight. Lights on. It was someone pointing to his head with a gun, he didn’t know who it was because that person had a mask. - Are you Luck? – The man asked, but the boy didn’t

Sire, there was once upon a time a fisherman so old and so poor that he could scarcely manage to support his wife and three children. He went every day to fish very early, and each day he made a rule not to throw his nets more than four times. He started out one morning by moonlight and came to the sea-shore. He undressed and threw his nets, and as he was drawing them towards the bank he felt a great weight. He though he had caught a large fish, and he felt very pleased. But a moment afterwards,

Heartbreak on the Welcome Mat The atmosphere of the ominous Wednesday night left me in discomfort. The feeling of the humid air pressed down upon my skin. That night replays in my mind constantly. As if my spirit wasn’t unsettled enough, I walked to the dark SUV to find my dad in the driver seat. Dad never picked me up; something had to be out of order. Half way home I decided to break the silence of the dark car by telling my dad about the recent fight my mom and I got into. All of our fights were

I Told You So. Now before you get too comfortable with the simple little title listen up buttercup and allow me to let you in on a little secret. I’m not what you would call a nice guy I might walk the walk, but deep down once you get to know me on a comfortable level I can come off as a dick and often times I don’t think before I talk. It’s good that I’m getting this out of the way because according to Mary Karr in her book titled “The Art of Memoir” she mentions that “the best writers make you

What was the bridal payment really like for Jesus? Luke 22:39-42 KJV lets us in on what Jesus really thought of the price that He was about to pay for the church, "And He came out, and went, as He was accustomed, to the Mount of Olives; and His disciples also followed Him. And when He was at the place, He said unto them, "Pray that ye enter not into temptation." Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but thine be done." At this moment, Jesus is engaged

When I finally hit the ground, it was too late. Mike had already beaten me down. There was no turning back from here. I made my choice, to love my family more than anything else. And I don’t regret my decision. I should probably make myself comfortable, I’m destined to be here for a while. If only I was able to go upstairs and talk to our father. I would tell him how much I love him and how I could never see anyone as his equal. I’m better than all of them ,he has to know that, he’ll notice this

According to Chopra, "The Law of Dharma states that we have taken manifestation in physical form to fulfill a purpose"(Chopra, 1994). Everyone that is living in this world has a purpose in life, even if they haven 't realized it yet. People all around the world have a reason for being alive. We all have a specific, unique talent that no one else has, or at least something that we do better than anyone else. Each person has their own unique way of living in this world and has many ways of doing things

Whenever I thought about going to high school, I always thought about the mean high school kids from movies. So imagine my surprise when I found a girl that I could trust completely. This girl is my best friend and her name is Jasmine. Some people may describe her as mean and a little loud, but I would say she’s just an outspoken spirt. Jasmine always says what’s on her mind, even if no one wants to hear it. Jasmine is always pretty free spirted and adventurous. She’s so adventurous that she always
