She also taught me to always put others before yourself. That if you love someone you’ll do whatever it takes to insure their safety. I think that’s a precious thing everyone should…
She has made me realize that courage is more than just a word. Courage, is the ability to do something that frightens you and to never give up. She has opened my eyes to the fact that helping others is more rewarding than it seems. I believe that her acts of moral courage have already influenced me and have changed my views on the simple things such as volunteering. For example, my best friend happens to have type 1 diabetes and we are trying to raise awareness of this disease, as well as, support newly diagnosed diabetic children.…
It was Abby who's the one responsible for the mass hysteria among saylem. For example when proctor came looking for mary. Abby tried to seduce him into another affair. But when proctor seas no she tried witchcraft to kill mrs proctor so she could have proctor to herself. Therefore if Abby didn't want proctor or want to kill his wife she wouldn't have even think about doing any sort of witchcraft and creating mass hysteria among the people of salem.…
She is only a text, email, or phone call away when I need her. I know that she’ll always listen, because she always has. Through my parents’ divorce, through a day where I could have just run away from home and not looked back, and then even through the less serious, sometimes trivial matters, she was there for me. I asked her what her favorite part of being a small group leader is, and she replied, “Connecting with you guys, and just hearing your stories, you know? Being able to help you guys has also been pretty big.…
Life is full of people that help shape and mold you into the person you become. Maybe it's a parent, grandparent, teacher, or maybe even a friend. For me at least, it's my older sister, Amber Oertel. Amber has been with me as long as I can remember, granted she would have rather had mom and dad bring home a puppy instead of me, I still like to think she still likes me. She has been with me through some of the greatest losses in both of our lives, she has also been the source of some of my greatest adventures, but most of all, she has been an important role model in my life.…
A hero doesn't always fly, run fast, or have super human strength. But all heroes have super powers.

B is for brilliant, she always knows what to say.…
“I’ll be Froggy and you can be Ballie,” my best friend, Jillian Creighton told me. Six years ago, the two of us had sat in her living room, holding two items. Eight-year-old Jillian was holding an oven mitt that looked like a frog, and I was holding a colorful beach ball. We began to film ourselves, creating movies together: “The Adventures of Froggy and Ballie!” To this day, we still talk about these silly videos.…
The teacher I am going to be writing about helped me improve a lot and helped me mature. I am now going to tell you how Ms. X helped me improve and helped me mature. Ms.X helped me improve a lot because she taught us all to respect each other and that if someone is doing something wrong then to stop them from doing it because they don't deserve the respect. She also would be really nice to you if you were nice to her or if you treated her with respect. She also went over a subject before we did anything on it so we knew exactly what to do…

Someone once said, “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” My grandma, Patricia Plattner, taught me so many lessons about life. Although one sticks out the most, she taught me about gratefulness. My grandma nevers complains about anything. She has experienced many tough times, but she stayed sweet, strong, and thankful through it all.…
My maternal grandfather, Felipe Naranjo de Montes de Oca, was born on Decemeber 7, 1953 in Limonar, Matanzas, Cuba. His parents, Jose Naranjo Garcia and Delfina Montes de Oca, were very modest people who lived off the land. He grew up in a small house outside of Limonar that didn’t have anything but an empty field in its proximities. He would walk 2 kilometers to get to school every morning and only finished the 9th grade. As an adolescent, he moved back to Limonar city, where he found a job as a carpenter and met my grandmother.…
Frustrated, I concentrated on my career and training, deciding I simply was not a sexual person. For a long time I considered myself asexual and rebuffed anyone who I even imagined might want me. Fear of humiliation no doubt compelled me to run away from sex and all its ugly complications. I suppose I was called unflattering names behind my back, I'm sure I deserved it.…
Today I am going to talk, in very abridged form, a little bit about my experience of getting to know the amazing person who goes by the name of Cecilia Bernard, and what I have learned about her over the past three years of knowing her, which was both a fortunate and unfortunate event. Fortunate, obviously, because I got to meet her and see everything great about her. Unfortunate, though, as it took me as long as it did to meet her. What I first learned about her is that she was very open and inviting. I found this out on the way to New Orleans.…

Although I grew up with an American influence in my household, my family and Vietnamese culture has encouraged me to attain greater aspirations for myself and to become a better influence for a younger generation. Growing up with a very predominant Vietnamese influence within my household impacted every aspect of my daily life, from how I was raised as a child to how I see the world currently. Many things played a role in shaping me, for example my family and culture. I was raised by a single mom giving me a different outlook. My mom taught me that no matter what happens in the course of life, I have to be able to count on myself; she raised me to be independent and to stand on my own two feet.…
