   In my opinion personal relationships are a key ingredient to this mess we call life. Personal relationships provide a sense of peace and serenity. In the lives of many people patriotism is nonexistent; I didn't even know what it was until today. Lastly personal relationships are apart of being a human. It's in our biology; patriotism is not.    Many times when things go wrong in our lives we run to family and friends. They comfort us when we are in need of comfort. When we are hurting deep down inside, patriotism wont do anything for us, and what you believe in will not fix your broken heart. Sometimes people just need to know they're cared about, so let's be real, you can care about your country as much as you want, but it will never care about you. Some people may argue that when they think about their country it makes them feel better, but in reality this country is not even comparable to how your loved ones pick you up when you're down. In my opinion thinkin...

I'm so sad. I am in the last paragraph of my essay, and now I have writers' block.

In the presidential debate tonight I observed many fallacies. For example Hillary about Trump, " Donald has consistently insulted Muslims abroad". When she made this statement it was distracting from her argument and highlighting faults in Trump. When she did this it led me to believe she didn't have anymore hard evidence to back up her argument, so she turned to insulting her opponent. Another fallacy I saw in the presidential debate was when Donald directed his comment, "That was a mainstream assumption, put out by her". To Hilary. When he did this his credibility decreased, not that there was much to begin with. When he made that statement he played the finger game. He pretty much said "no that's her fault she did it not me". When he made that statement I saw him as a child; not a presidential candidate. The final fallacy I saw in the presidential debate was when Hilary said, "policy of the united states, democratic and republican, is to do...

Why do our parents expect so much of us? They expect things that they couldn't accomplish. If they couldn't do it why do they expect us to be able to?

An ideal mentor is not someone who is perfect; in fact it's the exact opposite. An ideal mentor is someone who is everything buy perfect. Someone who has gone through tough times. An ideal mentor is going to be your number one fan. They will push you when you are positive you can't go any further or do any better. An ideal mentor you will hate at time because they are going to push you to your limits and push all your buttons even the ones you didn't know you had. An ideal mentor will be there to comfort you, but will put you in uncomfortable situations that they know you can handle. Pretty much an ideal mentor is someone who will be there for you, but will push you when you can't do it yourself. They are your guide down your rocky path you call life.

Why am I investing so much time into something that will never matter?  I don't care about the American Revolution or who beat the Spaniards what I care about is my future and my success  but here I sit raising my hand in this desk what I learn this year is shit what matters to you is that my name is ranked number one on a list a list of people who all feel the same as I do  mentally confined longing to learn something new  right now you expect me to sit down shut up and listen to what you have to say but when I graduate I'm expected to make choices for my life every single day my work must be perfect if I want to turn it into you  should I require you standing up there to be perfect too? I know it's not your fault you just do what you're told  but this common core shit is really getting old I'm sick of school but then again I want to be successful so I'll sit here and I'll shut my mouth but watch, one day I'll be something special *this ...
