An Essay on Faith....
So we had to write a essay on anything we believed in. The sample essay included- Barbie, barbeque, flowers of graves, America, and atheism. So, I started writing an essay on imagination but decided that faith was a stronger one and a better argument. It’s only a few paragraphs, 500 words, so take a moment and tell me what you think.

At the beginning of 2007, I was miserable. The only person I ever truly loved was not with me and I felt hopeless. The first few months we ( Read more... ) -
No Oxford...
No Oxford. My mom told me that she refuses to plan my wedding alone and not to leave her or my fiance for two years to go across seas. It's disheartening but it makes sense.

When I was 12, I ( Read more... ) -
