Six Word Stories

For this storylab assignment, I read some six word stories from this website. Some of these stories are confusing, some sad, and some are funny! Who knew that someone could tell a story in only six words. One of the stories that really stood out to me was "I picked passion. Now I'm poor." by Kathleen E. Whitlock. I understand that a lot of these stories may have different meanings depending on the person, but to me this story means that the author chose to do what they were passionate about instead of having a job that they hated. Even though that job would have gotten her the money she needed, she was not happy and wanted to do something she was passionate about. I feel like this happens often in our world, where we get a college degree and work really hard for a job that will make us money, but ultimately will not satisfy our passions. I love how these six word stories can be up to interpretation depending on the person!

Occupational Therapists work a lot with people who have developmental disabilities and help them improve the skills needed for living every day life.

I am so excited to go to OT school after I graduate, and I am currently in the process of applying to different schools. All of my family speak Spanish, especially my Dad's side of the family. I grew up speaking minimal Spanish, but I really wanted to study the language on a deeper level so I could communicate in Spanish more effectively, so that is why I am minoring in it.  Some of my favorite things include: Thrifting, ta

Adam and Eve in the Garden: Source Adam was in the Garden of Eden happily and in communion with God. He had everything he needed, food, the river, the fields, the animals, and so much more. The only rule Adam has was to not eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and he obeyed. He was the caretaker of the garden and knew every living creature, but yet one thing was missing.  God wanted to create a companion for Adam of his kind, so he would never be alone and that he would have someone to help him. Out of Adam's rib, God created a woman named Eve. Eve was informed of the one rule of the Garden of Eden. She lived happily with Adam and with God, both naked and not ashamed.  One day Eve passed by the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the serpent caught Eve's attention. The serpent tempted Eve with a fruit from this tree. The serpent told Eve that she would not die if she ate from it and that she would acquire knowledge and be just like God. Eve took the frui
