Cooking to me is the equivalent of therapy. I love cooking my dinner every night because that has been my routine for as long as I remember. Ever since I turned about 10, I was in charge of making myself dinner lunch and breakfast. It's not because my mom never offered to make me finner, but it's because I wanted to make my own. It was a sense of accomplishment from doing something so minimal. I have always liked things a certain way and I just love eating food I make so much more than anyone else's food. It's crazy because I can make the exact same thing as someone else but to me, my version will taste so much tastier. I also started cooking because, from a young age, my sister has been interested in healthy foods. She is a super health nut and so since I grew up with her, I was conditioned to do the same. I always make myself something healthy and clean for dinner and I had so started making my own dinner if that's what I wanted. Growing u with 3 brothers, my parents always just made what was easy, if that was pizza, chili, just the basics, that I just didn't want to eat. So I was just forced to make my own dinner really, and now I am so grateful. I have gotten so comfortable int eh kitchen that when I'm cooking, I feel so relaxed, I love cooking. Cooking is just everything to me whether its how to relax or how to show my love, Whenever someone in my family is sick, I always make them food. Always brownies for my brother Joseph and pizza for William and pasta for Trish. I love cooking almost as much as I love eating the food I have cooked. But I'm glad that I love cooking because now I'm prepared for life. I will always know how to make a meal no matter what I'm given, which is a very useful skill sometimes.

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-
Image
Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
