            My family and I have decided to move to Texas. I am in the middle of my highschool education at LCCC and I am looking foward to receiving my Associates Degree once I graduate. Leaving Ohio and this program would destroy my oppurtunity to get my Associates Degree when i graduate. I have to think about this situation and what is best for me. If I leave it would be an emotional decision because I feel like it is going to be so much nicer down there and I can get out of Ohio. But if i stay, then that would be an intellectual decision because that is a more reasonable decision due to the fact that I can get my Associates Degree. Making these type of decision can be confusing, but by making the right one can benefit someone in the future.
            The postive consequences on relying on my intellect is that it will be the best choice in the future for me rather than going by my emotions and leaving just because I think its nicer and will get me out of Ohio. Also,  if I were to move it would make me happy and that has to be considered when making a decision.
            The negative consequences on relying on my intellect is that I will always think what if. What if I could have found the same oppurtunity down there? What if I found a better program? All of these questions run through ones mind when making decisions intellectually or emotionally. Sometimes one has to just jump and see how things will turn out. Making oneself happy is also as important as what is best for them.

What Is Love and Companionship?;*

Love is one of the strongest words in the English language, and companionship brings so much joy in a person. These two components are an important part of the human experience because everyone has a sense of happiness and joy that gets better once shared with someone who understands as well. Great things such as children can happen when both love and companionship are experienced. There are different aspects of love and companionship that are shown through family, friends, etc. Each category illustrate love and companionship differently.

Love is the one thing that is preventing hatred and crisis in the world. If humans never experienced love, there would be a constant warfare with all humans. For example, Frankenstein acted like a madman due to the fact that he was not loved and he had no companion. But if love was present then hatred would be at a minimum and a person will then be able to find someone they relate to and share a common bond.

Another reason why love and companionship is important is because everyone needs someone there for them that they can go to for anything. Without that they would have to hold everything in and perhaps become in a state of mind of depression ( but not always ). Some people may say "Oh I am heartless, ill never love someone." but thats not true because eventually love and companionship will fill their hearts and bring out the best in them.

Rejection is an opportunity -- not a negative event. We learn more and gain more from these events. Embrace rejection as an opportunity to grow...


Rejection is commonly known as to be denied, to refuse to accept, submit to, and believe. But its not only that, rejection is the constant let down that makes one feel bad about themselves. For example, lets say Peter has had this crush on this girl for a while, and he finally got the guts to ask her out. When Peter asks her if he could take her to the movies, she laughed at him and said "I would never go on a date with you." After experiencing that rejection, Peter was heartbroken and felt like he never wanted to undergo that feeling of being unwanted again.

There are many different ways of enduring rejection. On the internet, when looking for careers, and even in school. If someone goes through a series of repeating rejection, they might become depressed and start having low self-esteem.

Rejection might not always have a negative impact on someones life though. Some people enjoy being rejected because then they are motivated to be the best they can be so that they do not get rejected again. "Even if you get rejected for something and try again, know that you may still get rejected once again. Life isn't fair, but its not life's circumstances which give you true happiness in the first place."
