When a person has one, it doesn’t mean that by this time next week, it will go away. It means that they will continue to deal with the symptoms of that disease until the day they die.

Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson battles it daily, yet is currently serving a 10-game suspension from the NFL for cannabis
Jesus is like the water a person drinks, it is a must to survive. I believe, that everyone has their idealized image of a social figure he or she does not know such as Martin Luther King, John F, Kennedy, and Malcolm X to name a few. Each of these people at one point has been portrayed in entertainment and people do not know if what is being portrayed is true.

walked into her mother’s room quietly, trying not to wake her if she was sleeping. Her mother was getting ready for the day, brushing her hair and putting on makeup. Maya decided to ask her mother what would be best to do today. “Mom, do you think I should do the TCAP today, or visit grandma?” She asked. Her mother gave a shrug in response. “What do you want to do? Do you want to take the test? Or visit your grandmother on her last day? Both are good, you’ll get a great education if you take the
