Creative/Literature Nonfiction

"How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Myself" by K. Miller

I chose this literary nonfiction story to be meaningful because it's one of the problems that teenagers go through their lives. I believe that everyone of went through a phase where we felt so indifferent from others. Sadly, some teenagers attempt to do suicide and kill themselves to end their lives becaue they never got to open up and ask for help. Thus, the authot of this nonfiction realized that suicide was not the way to her problems, but loving herself was one solution.

The Full Moon

It was a cold night. As I look at the full moon, it reminds me of a big ball. But the moon looks more a big white marble. As I drive home from work, different thoughts are going through my head. Whatever I get in my TEAS test this month determines if I can go back home to the Philippines with my family to see my grandma who is in coma right now. Excitement and anxiousness are what I feel in the moment, yet nervousness is taking over me. My studying habits and my determination will determine whether I'll be in the RN program at CSUB in fall of 2012. Only God knows what's the future holds for me.
