PERSONAL STATEMENT As a child growing up through school I had many setbacks in my academics that I had no idea as to what path I was going down. I had entered my freshman year of college with an attitude that if I want to become someone I needed to change the way I looked at my academics. Starting out my college career I had no idea what I really wanted to be, as I was all over the place, first chemistry major and then a computer science major. I went on and tried both of the majors out thinking…

Aquarius and her hurricanes There was a queen up in the clouds that controlled hurricanes on earth. Her name is Aquarius. She controls where the hurricanes hit, how fast the hurricane will travel, and how big the hurricanes is. Aquarius has wavy sky blue hair with vibrant green eyes. She used a sphere to start the hurricane. Hurricanes form by the heat of the ocean waters and how moist the airs is and the temperature of the air. Her city in the clouds was some what peaceful. Everyone in her…

One day on a sad, sad night I was just getting off work. I didn't know what was going on, it felt like something was wrong, but I didn't know what it was. I was looking around and I could see something that was in the distance but I couldn't make out what it was. Knowing me I had to go and see what it was. When I walked over there I knew right what it was as soon I could make it out. When I off work that night it was very dark out. I looked out at the sky and there was no stares out, as I…

Wanting something is one thing, but sitting there and doing nothing about it is another. That’s pretty silly, right? Something that is desired usually doesn’t come to you with little to no effort, for some of us at least. Moving up in the work place and becoming a Target Team lead can be quite challenging, as well as rewarding. Being a student- worker is a lot to balance, but if I am going to go to school full time and work full time I at least want to make a good wage. About two years ago, I…

Let's go to Rice they said, it'll be fun, they said. After 40 minutes of car sickness, wrong turns, and missed exits we finally reach Rice. I was excited to get out of that dreadful car, until the wind struck me and I realized it was bitterly cold. I stood there unprepared for the weather, quivering without a jacket. Mother Nature clearly was not on my side today. I was not expecting much at first, just another university visit something I've done many times. Begrudgingly, I walked to the front…

Everything about the moment screams: Yes! Do it! Grab the guy, kiss him! I close my eyes, letting a shot of cognac burn on the way down. One benefit of hanging out with older men–no one cards you. Sitting on a barstool next to Mr. Sexy Pants, at least that’s what all the secretaries call him; I move his hand to my thigh. His thumb strokes the exposed inner skin. Goosebumps. I’m wearing a navy/tan block blazer with a matching, short tailored skirt. His fingers reach up between the fabric and my…

This fall break was a fall break that was absolutely but on the top of my list for the most memorable breaks that ill never forget and cherish forever in my heart. My 2015 fall break kicked off with the school movie night that happened in a way that I never thought of going down. I was surprised to be the first one there when I’m always late to church. The movie that we watched was “ the Martian “ that was honestly boring and used so many big words that I’ve never heard of or even use myself.…

Boy Detective “Time to go to school kids” Mom said. “Okay” Fred and Kiley answered. Fred and Kiley both got ready for school. Then they arrived at school. ”I'm going to go to the bathroom” said Kiley hopping around. Then Kiley puts her phone down and goes to the bathroom while Fred go and gets his pencil from his locker. Then one of the bullies came by and saw the phone on the desk. He check to see if anyone was there, an no one was there so he took the phone. Kiley came back 10 minutes…

As promised, Kel arrived at nine the next morning. Watching from the corner of his eye as they drove to the police station, he could tell Johnny was nervous by how he was trying to resist digging into upper legs. Hoping to ease his mind, he told John, “I spoke to Detective Crockett last night. He promised that the head of the arson investigations, an Allan Gardener, will make sure to be there so it’s easier for you. I was told that a stenographer will be there as well. That way once she…

“Ms. Hilker” the words I had been anxiously been waiting to hear. I watch my instructor call my name and I can feel my heart speed up. I had been working with these instructors and peers for years but suddenly I was terrified to get up in front of them. I spent years of my life working for this one day, testing day. But let me tell you, earning my black belt in Taekwondo that day was worth it all. I can still remember my first day I walked into that Taekwondo class. I walked in scared and…
