Life is full of risks. And not all risks are predictable. The first and the biggest crisis in my life happened a few days after the fifteenth birthday. I was diagnosed with a kind of cancer and took a year off from middle school to have chemotherapy after surgery. Fortunately‚ I was on the mend after hospitalizing for the first three months‚ so I received the outpatient treatment after that. Now it was time to go back to school. However‚ I had a lot of different thoughts running through my mind.

Easing the Pains of Balancing the Income Side of the Budget Just last month‚ the executive arm of the Government presented the budget estimates of the current financial year‚ to the national parliament for approval.

lived the last three years of his life “to the fullest.” He pushed away his loved ones‚ drank‚ and drugged the rest of his life away. He made my mom promise to name her unborn daughter Silvana‚ and then died the day after his 34th birthday. The irony is‚ he would have lived longer if he had not known he was going to die. While he was thinking “I’m dying anyways‚ fuck it‚” to me it seemed that he allowed a fear of death to drive the last of his life. To live life without a fear or desire for death

The Sculptor of Life After reading "The Open Boat" and reflecting back on my life‚ I realized that I am who I am mostly because of the environment I grew up in. Right when I was able to run and jump‚ I followed my older brother everywhere he went‚ most of the time unwanted. However‚ the time I spent with my brother and his friends truly molded my character into part of who I am today. Fishing‚ playing hockey‚ and just "chilling" with these older people‚ I think‚ enabled me to mature much faster

My life philosophy has always been to impact the world and help people. Growing up in Haiti where more than half of the population live in extreme poverty and two out of three Haitians lives on less than US$2 per day according to the world food programme‚ I quickly realized how the people around me and my friends didn’t have the opportunity that I had in order to reach their potential and achieve their dream.

bit my whole life. My husband makes me confidant. It’s easier now. Until I moved in with his Mormon parents. I’m not going to lie I really just wanted them want them to like me.

My whole life for some reason I just thought that all people were the same in the way of not not liking people or judging them until you know them no matter there life style. At least

I had no clue three years ago how much reffing would become a part of our life. Reffing is life in our household. Honestly‚ reffing takes up about 9 months of our life. From November-March is basketball season. May-July are camps where he is away on the weekends. October is when he has all the clinics and scrimmages. Basically he is off April‚ August and September.

once I got there I soon realized it was highschool 2.0‚ and not the right environment for me. The reason I chose KU was because everyone in my family had gone there. They all told amazing stories of campus and Greek life. I had also been a fan of KU basketball almost my entire life‚ the words “Rock Chalk Jay Hawk” had been engrained in my head since birth. Sadly‚ I didn’t base
