goals of the individual and the group absolutely line up. Unless you spend all of your time philosophizing, fully listening to others with an open mind is the only way to better your own thinking. Even if no one else treated you with respect, I believe it would still be to your advantage to be the bigger person and ... |

Over time I recognized there need not be just one right answer. Why do we argue over the specifics where we disagree instead of focusing on the areas where we do agree? Not just within Christianity, but across all world religions.
In 9th grade, I heard a presentation on pluralism, which encourages interfaith interac... |

Senior year so far has seen those two personalities grow further apart from each other. Applying to college and receiving decisions has been the focus of my year. And while I would speculate about the impact they would have on my future, they perfectly described how I was feeling at present: mixed. After my final socc... |

and interracial families face. Unlike many of you, I didn't hear stories about how my parents grew increasingly excited as their delivery date got near. Instead, I heard how happy my parents were when their referral to adopt a child was finally approved, and the story of the time they first met me, not in a hospital... |

But, funnily enough, in my desperate want for a handbook on How To Be Biracial, I subconsciously wrote one. Granted, the first few chapters are a little messy, hardened, and sad, but necessary nonetheless.
I've done a lot of writing since. My "Owner's Manual of Identity" is constantly under revision. I make conclu... |

feel like a scared child when the old man drives slowly beside you. You feel helpless when he asks your eleven-year- old self if you have a boyfriend. You hate yourself when you smile and laugh pretending nothing is wrong. You're relieved to see your house a block away. You don't ask to walk the dog anymor... |

For a newspaper its material cause is paper, its form in sheets folded in on each other, its agent a reporter and printing press, and its end is to inform the reader of current events. It also works for animals, the material form of a squirrel is meat and bones, its fo... |

But, while we try to fix the past, we must also look forward to the future. How can we prevent this from happening 50 to 60 years down the line? We have to stop it now. Things like the... |
) Educate yourself on what affirmative consent is: a clear 'yes' is the only thing that is sufficient enough for consent. Then, educate everyone else that you can reach. Push back on behavior, in any form, that undermines the message that basic decency and respect require the understanding that no one is entitled to an... |

Because, mother,
we have always been each other's.
I became yours

when you dreamed of easier times
and wished for better outcomes as the tingling in your breasts grew and your hands and feet swelled.
You grew fascinated with this new life inside of you; feeling every roll, kick, and punch to your stomach
as you cradled me
with your fingers and your worries, wondering
if I'd ever b... |

everything is all about who can do what faster, in the end it's all about effectiveness and what works best for different people. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow and let it take you wherever it wills. It's not always about the end point, but more so the path you took to get there. This has been put into ... |

I have been told that I am a thinker, which seems like a good thing, but not when you think about everything over and over again without coming up with an answer. Being indecisive also provokes worry, an... |
