Society & Lifestyle > Gender Issues Assessing whether women work harder than men: 8 of 25
As a woman, I find it hard to answer this question. Do women work harder than men? They could quite possibly, or they could work just as hard. I believe that it goes down deeper than working harder than a man. When a woman goes to work, say in a company, she takes her maternal instincts with her, her feminism with her, and h... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting (Other) Who said parenting was easy?: 18 of 55
"I can't wait until you have your own kids. Then you'll be able to see where I'm coming from." My mother uttered these words to me when I was only ten years old. I never fully understood what she meant by that, until I first learned of my own pregnancy. It was then that I realized every word my mother had ever spoken, had tr... More..
Relationships & Family > Grief & Loss How death of a loved one can help you appreciate life: 7 of 20
Everyone has a hero; an idol, or someone they admire. When I was sixteen, I believed that I was a hero to myself, but someone changed my beliefs in that forever. Maybe it was just my imagination, but, it seemed to me, when my parents walked into the house in May of 1998, there was an uneasiness about them. Dad was the first ... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Sisterhood: 18 of 48
I have been blessed (and cursed at times) with three beautiful sisters. Being the youngest out of everyone, I always found myself admiring each older girl, wanting the things that she had, but wanting to create a path of my own at the same time. My father had my older sisters from a previous marriage, and then he had me and ... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Problems Parents Face Single parents: What to do when you can't make ends meet: 5 of 13
When my husband and I first split up, the kids and I were doing okay financially. About two months later, my husband decided he wouldn't watch the kids anymore for me to go to work. I struggled to find a babysitter, and shortly after, I lost my job. Raising three children, paying a mortgage, along with bills became quite a s... More..

Entertainment > Music (Other) The importance of music in our lives: 47 of 108
Music has always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I used the lyrics of songs to express what my heart couldn't say. I learned how to play the guitar at the age of ten, and started to enter music competitions. I was always so afraid, to get up on stage, but when I was done, I was filled with such exhileration, that it... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections on miscarriage: A silent loss: 20 of 45
When I first found out I was pregnant with my fourth child, I was less than ecstatic. My marriage was already in trouble, and most days I felt overwhelmed with raising my children and trying to make a career for myself. I was angry with my husband, because I had asked him to get a vasectomy a year earlier and he had still pu... More..
Arts & Humanities > Arts & Humanities (Other) Rediscovering your creativity: 17 of 38
I have always been the 'artsy' type. My parents bought me my first guitar when I was ten years old, and I went to weekly lessons to learn to play the instrument. From there, I taught myself how to sing and play at the same time, and eventually started to write little songs that sung straight from my adolescent heart. Over th... More..
