Im so sorry

Dear mom,
    There's something important you must know. I apologize for any inconvenience that this letter may cause. First off I'd like to say that yes, indeed, I am very ashamed. You always told me to not do it, and I should've listened. Now there's a bigger problem amongst us. The pain is starting to come back writing this letter, in which is so horrific I feel I could not live with myself any longer. My words are not able to speak unless I could unleash this dreadful secret of mine. I'm torn limb from limb within my mind. I have gained weight from the stress, and have isolated myself from most of mankind. I have no money to get rid of this problem. I'm sorry that I must live with this consequence for the rest of my life. Especially at a young age mother. I feel I must see a doctor right away. Indeed, because lately I had swallowed a watermelon seed. What should I do?

Supernatural

Supernatural had the most effect of the Gothic era. I believe this to be the most effective part included in the gothic time period because supernatural, in dictionary terms, is an object or person pertaining to, characteristic of, or attributed to God or a deity. In other words, a spirit of some sort, whether good or bad. Supernatural creates a horrific vibe within a passage or story because human beings are terrified of what they do not know, nor can do. Supernatural beings have certain powers and can do things that human beings can not. In almost every gothic story, the supernatural plays a significant part. From, someone being possessed, to the dead coming back to life, supernatural presence makes up the entire setting for a gothic story. This is why I believe that supernatural is most important attribute to gothic literature

To Fly or Not to Fly

In class we had to choose whether we would prefer to have the power to fly, or become invisible. I chose to fly. When the thought of flying is relevant, people often relate it with freedom.

Preparation

I would use many ways to prepare to for the OGT testing. One way that I would prepare for the OGT testing is that I would take many practice OGT test specifically online. This is helpful because the practice test would help me get an idea of how the OGT tests would be like. Another way that would help me practice for the OGT is to use past information that I've learned from my classes and put then into separate study guides. This would help me as well because it could refresh my mind of what I've already learn and help me use that recognition of information on the test. This is how I would prepare for the OGT tests.

Before you go

"Andrew, there are so many phrases I wish to share. Yet my fear of your judgement afterwards hold my tongue below. Preventing even a slur to escape my lips. The thought of you being gone forever wraps around my chest and squeezes tightly around my heart. Relieving it to ever function again. With emotions of the weather and the strife of a widow, I try hard not to let this devastation make its way to my sleeve. Though I am certain that with you, I am only as strong as a string amongst a boulder. So as my tears flow down my cheeks and my lower lip quivers, I declare to you that this is not the end. Oh how my mind will lose all consciousness the day that you leave. But for your sake, I will walk with a valiant posture. I linger still, here in front of you, only to spare us the grief. To spare us of the great farewell that is to come. I encourage you to recognize that right now, right here. Today and forever, you will continue to live on in my heart and mind. Yes you are worth millions while your body beats strong, and will be worth much more way after you are gone. At least, to me."

Imagining thanksgiving

Imagine I am responsible for this years thanksgiving dinner.

This year I am making thanksgiving dinner with my family. As my mother whips out the ingredients and my cousin drugs out the pots, I begin to tell them what I plan on cooking. For dinner, there will be mounds of mashed potatoes with even bigger mounds of butter on top. There will be pernil with skin caramelized with seasonings. A rotisserie chicken about a foot thick and a foot wide. Mustard greens will be boiled in a pot along with peppers and ham. Oh the sweet smell of candy yams will envelope the kitchen. Pumpkin pie with be cooling down in the fridge as the peach cobbler will too. As thanksgiving dinner is complete, the family will gather around the table, say our grace, an begin to dig in the food we have prepared.

If only I was to actually create thanksgiving dinner, it would be really fantastic. Instead our dinner had much different foods and I wasn't apart of the cooking team. Even though my imaginary thanksgiving did not come true, I am not disappointed of the dinner that was made. For I am grateful that I even had food. I am grateful for every part of our thanksgiving. Hence, the meaning of thanksgiving day.

Faith

     If I had to fight for something, or even die for something, I would fight for my faith. I would most definitely rick my life for my faith. I know I'm not perfect and I know I mess up, but i will not give up faith in myself or in my refuge to help me do better. My refuge ultimately is God. I do things that I know I am not suppose to, yet he forgives me and helps me to move on. God gives me faith that life would be much greater with him in it. I would fight for my faith because I am loyal to him who gives it to me; God. I always stand up for what I believe in. Even if it means handing my existence into the hands of the enemy in order to prove it. My faith is strong and will continue to grow stronger. The day my faith dies is the day I die with it.
