A Clean, Well Lighted Place

I think a motif of this piece is placed apon the word "hurry".
The young waiter is often in a hurry and isn't ashamed to tell everyone that he is. By bieng in a hurry he is disrespectful and rude to those around him, especially his customer. Mind you, I do understand the want and need to go home at the end of a long day but one might learn from patience. When the young waiter comments about the deaf man's depression being unreasonable because of his wealth I think it needs to be brought up that when someone is in a hurry, someone elses' needs get put on the back burner. Patience can go a long way when someone needs care.
I think the idea to be learned here is this: when time exists, use it wisely.

This I Believe

Welcome to my first blog!!

This I Believe



I believe in family and its structure. Whether blessed with a family of great magnitude, a siblingless family, or a family that biologically isn't yours; family of all kinds is important.


Family is a life backbone that is there to support you whether you are sitting, standing, or falling down.

Family of the un-traditional tupe is ok too. Family can be a best friend that knows when tears are falling on the inside-- the worst kind of pain. Family can also be a sister bonded not by blood by instead by heart, one that celebrates the effort of an A+.

Parents are guardian angels sent to show us the way on a journey un-marked, and siblings are our life preservers that save us when we can't save ourselves.

I believe in family.





This i believe is a statement that is meant to bring your true passion and opinion to the surface for everyone to see. People are free to believe in anything they want and that's the beauty of our country. We were asked in class to write a statement of belief with no restraints and this is the statement that i came up with. Above i attacted the NPR website where "This I Believe" statments are collected and are free to be viewed and added at will.

My family is the most important thing in my life to me and I believe that everyone should have one, whether that means having parents and siblings or simply having your best friends to surround you with their love. Everyone needs somebody and that is what I BELIEVE.
