My Personal Philosophy

There are three things I value more in life than anything else –education, camaraderie and integrity. However, these does not mean that everything else is worthless or has no value to me. In fact, I think that value is something that varies among people depending on how they were brought up and what they wanted to accomplish out of life. I value education because my parents reared me believing that a good education is one’s person only asset that cannot be taken away nor would run dry. Camaraderie is important for me because I believe ...

In the case of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper," the unnamed narrator of the story begins ...

My mother taught me that there are a million ways to love a tree, and in my youth I loved in each of them. I didn’t understand singular, monogamous love; I loved each tree I came across with abandon, tripping up into her branches if she were large enough, or sitting in his shade if he were still young, curled up with a book, often breathing in sunny summer air that is now tinted with the sepia color of memory. She taught me to climb, my mother, and immediately regretted it. I was a terror on the ground to begin with, ...
