Un-Break My Heart

My head would be the cause of my death. The shuffling of my feet on the cold, dusty; yet moist ground sounded to me as it sounds to be under water. My ears rang like a bell; it felt like I was a hundred feet under water. I looked to the man next to me, he seemed to look familiar, but I couldn’t think how… I could hardly see him. Was it the dim light that shadowed the mysterious room? Maybe it was the dust and mist that surrounded me in the dark. Maybe my head was just hit into another dimension.

My bedroom was a big mess! Gail was right. I really needed to clean my room. There were many piles of books, boxes, magazines, and others on each corner of my room. Too many clutters were not good for your sanity, Gail voice was ringing in my ears. For a full hour, I was busy sorting and tossing my stuffs. Piles for ‘donated’, piles for ‘keep’ and piles for ‘trash’. The text from Lindy and Susan, my best friends since junior high did not stop me. Usually I liked reading their texts because they

The final sweat from my performance dries and I’m left with the salt that was expelled in the process, leaving an irritating trace on my skin. Listening intently to the final band of the afternoon, I can’t help but be lost in the low brass choir performing in front of me. The graceful way the baritone glided to the high notes and the falsetto of the trumpet soloist. The music is carried away by a slight breeze and in its place comes the laughter, applause, and awe of the rest of the band kids that

Syed Muhammad M Jafri COMM 100W Spring ‘16 03/15/2016 Benazir Bhutto It was night of December 27, 2007, before my ninth grade final exam, I was in a tutoring center when we heard many gunshots outside; it wasn’t just one person who was shooting in the air but several. We were frightened for our lives, as they started approaching the stores and small shops to shut them down forcefully. The cell phone signals were jammed, and we were unable to contact our parents. After about half an hour, we heard

love and peace. It just only can buy for us only food, clothes, jewelers, but with success we can achieve and get everything we need and want in our life. Money is not everything in life. Money is a main factor for too many crimes un our society. It can cause a person heart attack and too many other diseases. Money creates envy and hatred among people. A rich man is nothing infront a successful man. Money can't buy happiness but it can buy a good form of misery. If you work only for money you'll never

‘Edward II plantagenet King of England, Whose incompetence and distaste for government finally led to His deposition and murder.’ The Elizabethan drama, Christopher Marlowe’s, Edward the Second is, according to Aristotle’s definition of the word, a tragedy. That is to say it concerns the fall of a great man because of a mistake he has made or a flaw in his character. During this essay I will demonstrate how this definition of tragedy applies to Edward II. Edward II was king of England, and

fourteen I started to practice yoga, and because of what it has been able to do for me I continue to practice almost daily. It all began as I wanted a way to relieve everyday stresses with a form of exercise that I could do at home on my own schedule. I started my journey by purchasing a yoga mat and VHS showing the basic poses and technique to practice at home, while the mat is used to keep sure footing during practice. Although, I have to admit initially following along with the pleasant woman

Ultimately, the phenomenon of animals that are less attractive or appealing to the public being ignored is a greater reflection on society as a whole. Too often, it’s easy to overlook the “ugly” in favor of the more attractive option. In 2010, the UN released figures stating that anywhere from 150-200 species go extinct every day around the world, and while these numbers may vary, the general message is the same: we are losing animals at an alarming rate. In fact, scientists refer to the “Anthropocene”

It was un expected to me to see how William and his mother were simply curious and hopeful about the Deaf community apposed to brutal as some of the other characters such as Janice’s boss who seemed to think that deaf people were just a nuisance. Another thing that intrigued me was how important a deaf persons hands are and how hard it must be if they are to break it. I always have thought about how important hands are for reading brail
