Drinking to that extent was never my intention. My drinking did not always end in disaster, in the begging I was having a ball. Let me explain how drinking, defined me. Prior to drinking, I was shy, insecure, unhappy and self conscious. Too scared of being rejected, I rarely spoke to anyone, or held the gaze of another person. That all changed

Why was I complying to people’s wishes? Why was I hurting someone I didn’t want to hurt? Why was I taking karate to get revenge?

Your aunt and uncles

guilt tripped by you. I didn’t make any hateful comments about you because I don’t know who you are Abby. Your name was mentioned twice.

As a new and young manager at McDonald’s I had a lot of responsibility and stress on my plate. I worked for them for about a year and a half before I was promoted and I got to know the crew and got close to some before I moved up. One of the hardest things to do as a manager is run a shift when you are understaffed. The excuses you get from people will have you rethinking your life and the position you’re in. Having kids is a beautiful thing but when you use your kids as an excuse to call off

In her book “Gender Hurts”, Sheila Jeffreys writes: “Radical feminist theorists do not seek to make gender a bit more flexible, but to eliminate it. They are gender abolitionists, and understand gender to provide the framework and rationale for male dominance” (Jeffreys 85).

I believe the top three moments from The Shadow Club, a book following a junior high school student in a club with others who are second best to someone, were when Tyson watched one of their club’s meetings, when Randalph was rushed to the hospital, and when Tyson set his house on fire.

When people feel their family or friends is not doing good at something, they don’t want to hurt their feelings and lie to them that they are doing great. People want to protect them from getting injured by some facts that hurt their mood, emotion, or feeling. In this case, people want to make their friends feel better in mood, they could lie to them.

just driving into Clermont. And it happened. Another car collided with mine. There I was, realizing the trouble I had gotten in, when all of a sudden I was pained and bleeding.
