I can build myself up and tear myself down faster than any one else around me. I can reject fear, but never silence the demon. I can channel my nerves, but never rid them. I can criticize myself and push my limits until they meet no end. The question is this; if I can present my biggest passion and become the most vulnerable with my worst enemy, why not present myself to the world where the criticism has no comparison to myself?
The spirits hath told me not to fear, for none born of woman shall harm me. So i shall not! I will remain with all of my composure and I will not shake with fear. I will fight until they hack the very flesh from my bones! They will need to pierce my armor first.
I learned to understand the stressors which cause my Cystic Fibrosis to flare up. It’s not long after that I begin to have many good days; they turned into months of remission. I begin to blossom letting nothing stand in my way; living the life that many would envy. I mature into a strong confident young mother determined to instill within her children let nothing stand in your way. Looking back upon the day when my life truly changed forever I wouldn’t change a thing; I see the world differently than others.
I feel that I have some greater calling and reason to be on this earth. I am in the dark on what it is, but really no one gets this many chances or does not die for no damn reason! I came to this realization one day, and it probably is complete bullshit. Too bad I do not care, that is now my whole reason for living and my
Polo Barfield Engl, 1301-900 Mrs. Harrison Oct 15, 2012 Stay Strong and be Unbroken. Finding the strength to overcome an addiction, is one of the hardest tasks anyone can confront. If someone were to discover that strength within them, only then will they have the power to destroy that addiction, and discover a whole new outlook on life. Having an addiction, is never a good thing to carry on your shoulders. It can be hazardous to your health, and in some cases, it can even lead to suicide.
Thrust into the real world with our confidence almost permanently shattered, we are expected to be successful and important when prior to that we were always told the opposite. Bullying harms us not only in our youth, but for the rest of our lives. In the poem “To This Day” by Shane Koyczan, we hear the story of children who have faced the effects of being bullied. A little girl for something as foolish as a birthmark on her face and a boy for thinking pork chops and karate chops were the same. Age did not change the words that cut through that poor little girl.
I especially hate having to deal with them but like Beowulf I will face them head on. I hope to emerge victorious and to stand strong to any other monsters I am yet to face. In conclusion, I will stand, regardless of what I have to face, and not let my monsters decide my
For example, in the article “Should All Convicted Sex Offenders Be Required to Register?” by Josh Farley, the sex offender here was required to register as one for the sexual/mutual relationship he had with a minor while in his 30s. Okay, the child was under 18, but he is not to blame for a sexual relationship that both parties agreed to at the time. I hate to say it, but unfortunately a lot of children make these “grown-up” decisions without understanding the consequences, and to get them out of “trouble” they blame the “other guy”, which in most cases, like this one, the “other guy” is the one who pays because of what laws state. Even though the child knew what was going on and wanted to engage in a sexual relationship with this man, the adult gets charged because the child didn’t want to take responsibility so they used the easy way out and played victim. Of course one may argue, she was 15 and didn’t know what she was doing.
Rashaunna Nelson November 30th, 2012 Juvenile Justice and Delinquency – Professor J. Roman A Paper on the Topic Nature v. Nurture The course Juvenile Justice and Delinquency has taught me a great deal of information. There are many at-risk (extremely vulnerable to negative consequences such as school failure, substance abuse, and early sexuality) (Siegel & Welsh, 2011, 3) youth, that yearn for a sense of direction and a helping hand. With a plethora of research collected, studies from The United States Department of Justice show that “as many as 100,000 children are currently involved in prostitution, child pornography, and trafficking, but the true number may be in the millions” (Siegel & Welsh, 2011, xiii).

The use of drugs such as cocaine, crack, heroin and marijuana has been proved to cause unbelievable damage and harm to the body and brain. In the Article “Info Facts-Heroin” reports that thousands of heroin addicts die from overdoses each year and heroin users are also at great risk of getting aids from the use of unclean needles. By legalizing drugs every one would have the right to consume drugs without any restrictions which would lead hospitals to be more filled, more school dropouts would occur, and more crack babies raise the stakes of legalizing drugs. Knowing what drugs do to users has been the solid basis for my saying no to drugs and why I believe they should not be
