People become passionate when the subject of weight is brought up. Women and men are sensitive to being called fat, overweight, heavy, “big-boned”, dense, often the word curvy can be taken the wrong way, and some are even offended when someone says, “you’re healthy looking”.

Fahima woke up before her alarm went off. Today was a big day. It was her first day as a second grader at her new school, East Pennsboro Elementary. She got out of bed, brushed her teeth, got dressed, and put on her headscarf. When she got downstairs, she saw that her dad was making her favorite breakfast, pancakes. She sat down at the table, and her dad gave her a big good morning hug. “Are you excited for your first day at school, Fahima?” he asked with a smile. Fahima nodded. Although she
Conformity and death are the only things that are ensured in life. You look around and you see conformity everywhere, from the way people dress, the way people act, who they spend time with, what their hobbies consist of, and the music they listen to.

It was a dull Monday morning. I was sitting in religion class and looking out the window. Suddenly, I heard my teacher say the words "Midnight Run." Little did I know, this would forever change my perspective on the way I saw the world. A Midnight Run is when many volunteers come together and distribute goods for the homeless.
