What would you do for love?

Liam and Mia had been together since the beginning of high school. Tonight was their graduation, and they had to decide their future together. Liam had received a scholarship for football to BU while Mia had been the number one student in her class and decided to follow Liam and his dreams to BU so they could be together. Mia had no idea about Liam's plan so they could be with each other forever.
The classic graduation music played in everyone's ears, and all of the graduates started walking two by two down the aisle. Speeches were made and one by one students were receiving their diplomas and moving one step forward into the rest of their lives. As Liam was receiving his diploma, he suddenly stopped and asked if he could say a few words.
"Mia, will you please come up to the stage for one moment." Liam asked.
Not knowing what was going on, Mia did as Liam had asked her to do so wondering what was going to happen.
"What are you doing?" Mia questioned him.
"We have been together for almost four years now." Liam had started saying.
"I cannot imagine my life without you and since we are going to school together, why not make it official?" Liam finished saying.
She had a shocked countenance and tears were running down Mia's face as Liam pulled out the ring.
"Mia, will you marry me?" Liam popped the question.
A strange guttural came from Mia as she was lost for words since she was so overwhelmed. Cheers filled the auditorium and you could feel everyone's excitement in the air.
"Congratulations to the class of 2009!" the principal screamed.
It was after graduation and Liam and Mia's friend Scott was having an after party. There were about fifty kids there and screams were everywhere. Laughter came from everyone as they did not know what they were talking about since some had drunk too much alcohol. Mia and Liam had not drank that much in high school, but tonight they had graduated and thought to themselves, why not? At around 2 in the morning Liam and Mia decided to leave. They both thought they were fine to drive and didn't realize how much alcohol they consumed. It was foggy that night, worse than most. They did not know they were putting themselves in such a grave situation. It had taken one night for Liam and Mia to lose everything that was ahead of them.
"Beep, beep, beep," was the sound Liam heard as he woke up. Nurses were running crazy all around him and he realized he was in the hospital. He made a petulant remark to his nurse and told her to get the hell out of his room.
"What happened, what am I doing here?" he asked his mother and father who were sitting right beside his bed.
"Son, you ran through a red light and crashed into another car, luckily the passenger from the other car is alright." Liam's mother had said as her voice was cracking.

"WHERE IS MIA?" Liam screamed from the top of his lungs.
His parents looked at one another and lamented. Liam started to reprimand. He ran into her room and prayed thinking that she had died, but was so thankful when she was laying there in front of him. He still did not know that Mia was now paralyzed shoulder down for the rest of her life. Mia laid there staring up at the ceiling. Liam ran over to her and grabbed her hand, but her hand did not grab back. A compunction came about him. Her body did not move a muscle, and then Liam had figured out he had just ruined her life. He threshed the wall and broke down at the thought she would never be the same again. It was his fault and all he could think about was why had he only had nothing but some cuts and contusions and his fiancé was now paralyzed. He felt nothing but guilt and anger. All he could do was rue the day he ever stepped foot into that car.
Mia lost her scholarship to BU since she was not able to attend college for a few more years. All Liam could do was feeling sorrow for Mia and blame himself but she told him they both shouldn't have been in the car that night. He had been lucky to not have lost his scholarship, and was still able to play football at BU. The only problem was Mia would not be there with him like their plan.
He knew he had to make a decision. It would either be to go to BU to further play football, or stay with Mia and be by her side. Was he going to follow his dream or his heart?
"I'm staying here with you Mia." Liam told her.
"No, absolutely not. There is no way you are giving up your dream for me your giving up everything ahead of you." Mia cried out. She wanted to try and clout him to go to BU as best as she could.
“I can always go in a couple years with you, I want to stay here, and college would not be the same without you." Liam explained.
The decision was asserted and Liam stayed with Mia. Only a couple weeks after the accident, Mia was able to move her arms even though the doctors said she could never be able to again. Each and every day Mia would work hard to be able to walk again. Maybe, just maybe a miracle would occur.
On April 2nd 2012, three years after the accident, Mia and Liam finally got married. His altruistic decision to stay with Mia and the quandary situation they had been through only made them closer. She had gotten the miracle she was looking for and was able to walk once again with the help of a walker. They decided to go to BU the following fall and proceed their dreams like they were once going to do so long ago.

Value Essay

No one really knows the meaning of value. They take advantage of things they have and show no care for them. People waste their money daily on $8.00 for a large Starbucks coffee or a ridiculous amount for an item of clothing. What people should really be focusing on are the things in life you could not live without and you wouldn't give up for the world.

I ran past a number of figures and could feel them gaining on me. Their footsteps were loud and my heart was pounding as I thrust forward getting faster and faster every step I took. I was so close to being the hero, the winner of the game. I raised my arms slightly and put every ounce of energy I had and thrust the ball forward. It was a perfect shot just in the right hand corner that was unstoppable. I had just won the playoffs for my team and the feeling was indescribable and I felt if I had just won the World Series. Lacrosse has been my passion for the last six years. It is something I can't live without. The sport gives me strength and I feel as if I can to anything. It is what I am best at and I look forward to every Spring. I play the position home, this position is all offense. Out of the three sports I play, lacrosse is what I take most seriously. I want to improve my skills and hopefully be professional when I am older. My goal this year is to make Varsity as a freshman. I will need to get in great shape for this season and I am looking forward to playing the sport I love most.

The Dave Matthews’ Band plays in my ears as I am driving up to New York City. It is four hours away and there is no way I could go that far with the sound of music playing. I always get carsick but can’t really notice anymore because I am so connected to the music I am listening to. My ipod is an item I value. When I am listening to my ipod I get so caught up in the song I don’t notice what is happening around me. From all different types of music, R&B, rap, to country, I love it all. When I am warming up for a game, music from my ipod gives me the energy and confidence I need in order to make a difference for my team and myself.

I value both lacrosse and my ipod. Lacrosse gives me the strength and endurance I need in life. I can let out whatever I want when I am on the field and improve my skills to make myself better at the game. My ipod gives me energy and confidence. It allows me to get away in life for a while and let me think things through. Though lacrosse and my ipod are two completely different things both make me feel better about myself and they are both things I love. Even though they are both things I value, I would choose lacrosse over my ipod any day. My ipod is around 200 dollars with songs included while lacrosse is something you can’t put a price tag on.
