My Big Decision Every day, from the minute we wake up, till the time we go to bed, we are faced with choices. The choices we face on a day-to-day basis range from getting out of bed and starting our day, to investing our hard earned money into buying a new car or house. We make so many choices in just one day and most of the time we don’t even ponder the decisions we end up making. Recently, in the past year, after being involved in an automobile accident I was faced with, what seemed to
I walked around unsteadily all day like a lost baby, far away from its pack. Surrounded by unfamiliar territory and uncomfortable weather, I tried to search for any signs of similarities with my previous country. I roamed around from place to place and moved along with the day, wanting to just get away and go back home. This was my first day in the United States of America. A few months before all of this I was pleased with my calm life in a local city of Taiwan. I settled there at the age of

Miami, Florida where his brother lived. His brother told him we could stay over his home to get a feel for the place. I was not fond of the idea of moving as I’ll be leaving behind my friends I’ve known for many years and the memories made here. The days go by as we started moving our things to the storage facility to empty the house. We only had a few minor necessities and our clothes to take to Miami. Looking inside our house, there was just the plain tile floor with cracks and the brown washed walls
Muqit khandaker Moving from place to place not much other than family remain constant and that too takes a different shape with time and makes me both accustomed to change and more importantly, prepared for it. Moving every few years is a gift and a curse, giving you a clean slate when you both need it and when you do not want it. It is always difficult to move away from good friends, teaching me to remember all those who left a mark on me . When I was in kindergarten, I made a small handprint

A seemingly difficult job to deal with, packing frequently gets delayed up until the last minute, forcing
Abandoned places are always ready to tell a story, even the newly deserted ones. In Susan Glaspell’s play “Trifles,” the setting is the still, recently abandoned kitchen of a recently dead Mr. Wright. The story focuses on the sheriff’s and witness’s wives and their slow realization of who killed Mr. Wright and why. These realizations could not have happened if the wives were anywhere other than where they were. The time period, the kitchen itself, and the cheerlessness of the house all assist in
take over on that first day of school. I was relieved to be moving out of Oelwein, the town was filled with drugs and bad people. The reputation there was terrible, and the sports program not being very good, it never gave kids the chance to find something in their life. Although, at the same time, I was sad to be leaving. I thought I had finally found some good friends. I was about to move again though; new life, new friends, and new opportunities. It was the first day of school and I was extremely
