Celebrations & Holidays > Celebrations & Holidays (Other) Your most meaningful family traditions

53 of 348

I never quite understood what what so great about traditions. In a world that is constantly reforming and rethinking what is right and wrong, it is hard to come to terms with tradition. Everywhere I go I am reminded of modern concept and evolution, yet every year at Christmas I can't help but fall in love with my family's tra... More..

Food & Drink > Food & Drink (Other) Why food is the ultimate gift

34 of 58

Every Valentines Day, birthday, and Christmas, people often ask themselves the age old question: What is the ultimate gift? It is easy to assume that it might be a fancy car or a studded pair of diamond earings, but what we all long for the most in a gift is nourishment- whether it be for the mind, spirit, or soul. Food is th... More..

I think a lot about society and issues concerning it, and this was one of those thoughts. I was sitting in the parking lot for Dairy Queen late one night when one of my old friends went zipping by on a bike. He turned and came back towards me. While talking about life in general, I asked him if he was coming to my party the ... More..

"Reality: A Mere possibility" Every night I go to sleep I think "This world does not exist. You have no responsibilities." As crazy as it sounds, I have to keep reminding myself of that fact. People are so obsessed with having everything in excess when really all you need are basic cornerstones of truth. I read in a book ("T... More..

15 of 16

I remember the first time I scrap-booked. It was a sunny day in late August. The trees had yellowed with warmth. The grass was cool and wet with morning dew as I ran barefoot around the yard outside the barn. Chickens clucked and cooed as I hooted and hollered during my skipping. Finally, my mother caught up from behind and I... More..

Education > Educational Philosophy Is competition in school helpful or harmful to the students?
