Half-orc

I come from a place where people are determined. Determined to surpass the difficult times, determined to make their families proud, determined just to live. Where I 'm from people could hardly manage to balance buying food and paying for rent. People walked to school, to the grocery store, and to work because not everyone could afford to have and maintain a car. Kids grew up with one parent or none at all. I had both of my parents, a roof over my head, and food on the table. So I was one of the

Bill Cosby, an American comedian, once said, “Is the glass half full, or half empty? It depends on whether you are pouring, or drinking.” Nowadays, when one mentions of Africa, picture of a continent with a vicious cycle of war, poverty and hunger immediately appears in people’s mind. Thus, over the past 50 years, millions, trillions of dollars were sent to aid Africa from developed countries, or organizations. However, poverty and hunger still remain as issues as if nothing has changed. Trying to

Essentially, postmodernism is a very unique literary style. This is because, there are not many boundaries when it comes to these types of works. The themes involved within postmodernist works are often unusual and off-the-wall. By using aspects such as unreliable narrators, maximalism, and pastiche, authors within the field of postmodernism are able to create works that bend reality and provide very unique stories that intertwine countless themes. Within other genres of literature, pessimism and

“Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present.” wise words spoken by Jim Rohn. Happiness is the state of being happy. It is a simple as that. Being happy is feeling or showing pleasure or contentment. For some of people happiness doesn't come easily, but I believe that it could. I believe that people can be and make their own happiness. When I was younger I would go visit my biological dad. He was not and still is not a good man. He only

Who am I? Who do I hope to be? What are my goals for life? These were all questions I was asked in fifth grade during a project. My answer was, when I am older I want to play in the WNBA, own a big house, and be super rich. Of course, as times have changed I have gotten older my hopes, dreams, and goals have quite a bit. Today, when I am asked about who I am and my answers have changed a lot since fifth grade. Physically, I am a freshman in college. I play women’s basketball, and plan to

College is a big step for anyone looking to attend. Anxiousness kicks in throughout the whole senior year. That one word is what defines me these past few months, that one word is constantly in my head: anxious. This is the point in time where it is my time to grow and mature into a successful student as my parents and family want from me. That is part of the reason why I’m so anxious for the next step in my life. I want to make my family and friends proud of me by continuing school and actually

Is the glass half full or half empty is a question that many people ask themselves to determine whether they are more optimistic or pessimistic. It is easy to see every glass as half empty, but with a change in your mindset, you can see every glass as being half full. At every football game, cheerleading competition, and band competition, having an optimistic mindset has helped me have a lot more fun than I would have had with a pessimistic mindset. It was a chilly fall night. I stood on the sideline

The glass half full can also be the glass half empty at the same time. People can look at things in different ways, with neither viewpoint being incorrect. The two views can exist concurrently; the top half of the glass is empty and the bottom half is full at the same time. In the case of rituals, there is a cyclical relationship between referential and constitutive views. The referential view on ritual is that the participant has certain preexisting beliefs that all ritual actions are based upon

Do you look forward to the birth of a new day, or do you see it as the death of the last one? If you lean toward the former than you have a high level of optimism. Optimism is the form of positive thinking that insists that a person can control their own happiness. (Williams Yolanda) In other words, optimism is basically looking at the good side of reality rather than letting it bring you down. Optimism in some cases is a desirable trait due to its fundamental nature. Being optimistic allows people

Many people ask why is there such thing as optimism, or why are there optimist? Well, many people believe that if you don’t think good about yourself or life, you won’t push yourself toward your goals. They are right, without optimism there won’t be any goal setting, people will just be doubting themselves. In the very famous speech by Martin Luther King Jr. I have a dream speech, he states that he wants all segregation to just go away. That is his goal in life, to just make everyone’s rights equal
