The "metaphor" essay
If you really think about it, life is exactly like a burrito. We all hide our true selves from the
world with a wrapped-up covering. But inside, we host a plethora of fascinating offerings:
cheese, rice, beans, chicken, and so much more. Inside my own burrito, I have my artistic
eye and my caring heart. Those might constitute my beans and cheese. But someone else's
cheese might be their love of surfing or their ability to speak ten languages. In conclusion,
we should all unwrap our burritos and let the rice and beans spill out into a messy pile.

The sports injury essay
It was the day of the big game. I had been preparing my whole life to play on that field that
day. Sweat dripped down my face as I ran the warmup laps with my team. Suddenly I felt a
horrible pain in my leg and I realized that I had stubbed my toe. "NO!" I gasped. "Not on the
day of the big game!"
Coach looked solemnly at me. "Your career is over," he said. "You can't play in the big game
now."
Suddenly his phone rang. He picked it up and frowned with concern. "Oh no! Our star player
has just come down with the flu and won't be able to play. Now we don't have enough
players for the big game. We're going to have to forfeit."
A burst of adrenaline coursed through my veins. "No, we won't," I said, standing up
resolutely. "I'm going to play."
Coach looked at me in awe.
That game I played like I had never played before, fighting through my agony for the team.
Despite the unimaginable pain of my toe, I found it in me to score the winning goal. As I held
the golden trophy above my head, I proudly realized that my hard work had gotten me here.
Because, as Abraham Lincoln always said, winners never quit.
