Falling in Love with a Foreign Exchange Student

Through life, people experience many kinds of love. Many people often believe they love someone, when they actually do not because they may not know what the word means. As much as we want to understand love, it is still simply indescribable. As C.S. Lewis tries to explain it in his book, The Four Loves, it is still a mystery as to what love truly means. I believe in order to know what love means, one must experience it. It is quite true that went two individuals are in love with each other, they know it and can feel it. No matter how much love is studied and looked at, every individual must experience it to understand it. Along with this love lies circumstances which lead

This was quite an experience physically, and emotionally for me. Although my neighbors and I have gone on countless trips together, this one was different. I got up the first morning of spring break and my mom said: “pack your bags we’re going to Florida!” I wasn’t sure

Love exists in the short story “The Bear Came Over the Mountain” by Alice Munro and in the short story “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” by Raymond Carver. in Munro’s short story the plot is that of a mentally ill wife, Fiona, who falls in love with another patient while her husband still tries to hang on to their old love. Her husband eventually wants to have an affair with the wife of the man his wife is having an affair with. Their love changed because of their circumstances due to ill health. Carver’s story discusses the different definitions of love due to the type and quality of relationships; everyone has a different definition. Love also exists all over the world within different environments and cultures. The concept of love depends upon the environment in which it inhabits. Love is dependent on the life of the people in love and it also depends on their current environment. Nature and nurture are also huge factors into the development and process of love. What nature and nurture mean is whether it is due to how the person lives and acts along with their personality compared to whether it’s all in their genetics beforehand. Love is more on the nurture side instead of the nature side of human experience.

I'd get a job as a waiter and go on auditions during the day. Who knows? Maybe I'd be an actor. I just knew that my part-time job teaching karate to half-retarded kids wasn't exactly my idea of the life. Oh, and also I answered the phone and checked people in at the desk.

Love is a powerful thing. It is a force within the universe that cannot be dictated or demanded. Love is free. It is not something that can be bought or sold and has no boundaries. Some will experience love several times in their lifetime, while others will search the earth to find it perhaps just once.

Love is a feeling that cannot be defined in words. It’s an expression; an unsolicited expression. It is a feeling that comes in our heart in an unanticipated manner. It is indeed an expression which never follows the laws of nature. The passions seems to be inflated when someone happens to fall in love. Love is unpredictable, it cannot be justified, but can just be intensified.

instead all I wanted to do was go home. I had no family there, I was stressed to the max,

When we finished packing we celebrated a special dinner for them before they left. I thought when they left I wouldn’t be able to see them for a while .I also had a decision to go to Texas with them later on or stay in Kansas.It was very hard to go or to stay with everyone.

When we were allowed to pick up our school keys, Heather met me in my classroom and help me organize and showed me where different equipment was. Throughout the whole first semester, she stayed in

Leaving my family and friends was the worst part. A couple of buddies threw a big party for me, which mant a lot. The thought of meeting entirely new people was frightening. I wasn’t sure of I was going to fit in or not. The whole trip there, I was overthinking.

When the day came to leave it was December 23rd just a couple days before Christmas which was the start of this emotional trip. My wife of 10 years, my five year old daughter, and two month old son drove me to base where I would say goodbye to the people I loved most in the world. On the way there, you could just feel the emotions all of us were trying to hold back. I knew it was going to be hard. We stood around until it was time to go and I walked them to the vehicle where I said goodbye. My daughter was the first to break, she tried and tried not to but couldn’t take it any longer. There are no words to describe knowing this could be the last time you see any of your

I was shocked by her massage. I messaged her back. “I liked you ever since I saw you”. This was the truth.

I would start each day by greeting my coworkers. One of my favorite thing about Shady Hollow was how nice the employees were to one another. Then I would clean my desk. The front desk becomes kind of a dumping grounds for many different sort of things, whether it be lost and found items, packages, or mail. Once I deal with anything that may have been left on my desk, I move on to checking the phone for messages and the computer for emails. Often these are members calling to make reservations for our dining facilities or an upcoming event. However, since the front desk also holds the main phone lines there are many times when I needed to forward the voicemail or email off to the appropriate person. The task of phones and emails then continued all day. I would also greet prospective members and answer questions about the club. All of these member relations tasks helped me to fulfill my objective of customer relations and service. I also had to deal with any salesman who came in trying to sell us their product. Most of the time this just involved taking their business cards and passing it along to the appropriate manager. However, I definitely believe learning how to deal with these salesman and all of my experiences at the front desk in general had me fulfill my objective of communicating effectively and professionally in business

It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life, no one can explain to a 2 year old “Daddy’s Girl,” that this was only going to be for a couple weeks at a time. I honestly thought during this goodbye period, of just staying home and forgetting the opportunity. In reality, I knew this wasn’t an option as soon as I thought about the bills that we were in debt to. I unhappily gave a goodbye hug and kiss to my wife and daughter, got in the truck, and drove away, my house disappearing slowly in the rearview

Is love a special connection or is it something more physical? Throughout many centuries the perspective of love has always revolved around an association that the two people have in common. William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, we see how love is diverse; Romeo talked about Rosaline. He mentioned that he was very depressed and even offered her money to marry him. Today, love is a crave, something that people do not take much time to think on.
