Biography- The Best Day

Yesterday as I was having breakfast with a friend in town, and unexpected surprise happened. We were there for an hour, catching up on each other lives, not paying attention to what was happening in our surroundings. As we patiently waited for our waitress to bring the check, she came empty-handed. She told us that the man next to us paid for both of our meals. As we sat there speechless, we tried looking at the table next to us just to see that he was gone. We never thought anything of the man sitting there, alone and reading a book. We never thought anything to when he got up from his table and told us to have a good day when he left. We never got the chance to say thank you, so to him and everyone else who takes the time out of their day to perform a random act of kindness: thank you. We are so grateful to you and the little things make our day immediately better. Leaving the restaurant, I felt bad. I felt bad because there are so many opportunities in a day for us to do good for others yet more often than not, we don't take those chances. So today I decided to pay it forward and try to make someone else's day by paying for their Starbucks drink. Hopefully that $5.00 drink for someone who had a test this week, or a lot going on, or just needed a pick me up, made their day that much better. I realized that I do not need someone else doing something for me to make me pass it forward. Take the first step, find a way to make someone's day better.

Introduction to Jinal Wani

Hi! My name is Jinal Wani, I am twenty one years old and a third year undergraduate student here at the University of Oklahoma. I am currently studying health and exercise science in hopes of one day being a physical therapist or an athletic trainer. I grew up in Flower Mound, Texas, a suburb on the outskirts of Dallas. I grew up in a household with my mom, dad, brother and dog. My brother is a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas with a degree in mechanical engineering.  Although I am a third year student, this is only my second semester attending the University of Oklahoma. My first two years of undergraduate school were spent at the University of Texas at Austin, of course I just had to make the switch between the two most rivalous schools. I found myself in Austin to be very lost amidst the big city, and overwhelmed with the culture shock from my hometown to a busy part of town. It took a lot of humbling myself to finally admit I needed to make a change

Storytelling: The Twins

Image
Once upon a time there lived two twin girls who lived in an attic of a beautiful mansion. They were the servant girls of a horrific woman and her three daughters. The two twin girls lost their family long ago to a car accident and found themselves with no place to live and no money. The girls, Sarah and Tara, accepted jobs as maids in order to support themselves and gain a place to live. Their boss made them do ridiculous tasks just because she had to the right to. She had a tight leash on them because she knew that they had very little money and would not survive on their own.  One day when Tara and Sarah were cleaning the homeowner’s closet, they came across something quite peculiar. Tucked away in a corner, was a plethora of gold bars. The girls had never laid their eyes on anything as precious and valuable as this. They were overcome with mixed emotions as they pondered what to do. Sarah thought they should leave it alone as the mother might notice they were gone, but Tara sugge
