The Puzzle Piece
A favorite hobby of mine is putting jigsaw puzzles together. Ever since I was little, I found it satisfying seeing all of the individual pieces fit together to create an amazing piece of art. However, with each puzzle, I can easily get overwhelmed when I pour the box out on the table and there are

One of my favorite books is called “Pilgrims Progress.” It is a famous allegory about a man named Christian who is tormented by anguish and carrying a heavy burden on his back in his hometown, the City of Destruction.

The Fish Bowl
Recently, I went over to my family’s house and we found all of our home videos on DVD. My mom would video every holiday and event in our household. I appreciate it a lot more now that I’m older even though I used to get embarrassed. As I was watching one of the videos of

The Chess Master
When I was in elementary school, I was involved in the chess club. Every week, we would go into the library after school and take turns playing against each other. Something that I learned quickly is that to win, you must always think a couple of moves ahead of your opponent. Chess is all about

The Oasis
An oasis is defined as a small fertile or green area in a desert region, usually having a spring or well. It is a place of rest, relief, and rejuvenation in the middle of the scorching heat and seemingly endless miles of desert terrain. Imagine that we are all traveling through the desert of life.
