As I have grown to be the young women that I am today, many events have taken place throughout my life. Such as the Freedom Festival, and the Fish-o-Ramas, I have learned through multiple areas what I would like to be when I grow older and I couldn’t be more proud of it.

The Freedom Festival and the Fish-O-Rama I have been to both multiple times in my life. The Freedom Festival lasts about 2 weeks ending with Fourth of July fireworks in downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa. During these two weeks the festival has at least 70 events, the two best known are the parade and the fireworks. I have been in the freedom festival parade just about four times driving an electric car from a program in my high school. The program is called Cougar Electric

    Culver's Greatest Accomplishments

    The one accomplishment that marked my transition from being a child into becoming an adult would have to be when I got my first job at Culver’s. This accomplishment was a major milestone in my life which lead to many other great things to follow it. After applying to many different places I finally got a call back from Culver’s saying that they would like to have me come in to have an interview with me. At first I was a nervous wreck, but with the help of some really good friends with some good tips on how to dress, talk, and answer some of their tougher questions. I really appreciated their help and if it weren't for them I probably wouldn't have got the job.…

    Girls State Narrative Report

    Although there were many, my most memorable Girls State memory by far was running for office. I ran for state Attorney General. Attaining the position of a state office is extremely challenging at Girl’s State. If you chose to run for a state office, like I did, you have to campaign against 400 other girls. I had to go through many different interviews, including a “rapid fire” Q&A session.…

    Personal Narrative: My Time At Barnegat High School

    My time at Barnegat High School has helped me to become who I am today and will most defiantly impact what I will do in the future. The teachers and my peers have all been an influence on my life and during the four years that I spent at the school, I have done some things for the school and the community as a way to thank them for giving me the opportunities that they have. It was they who pushed me to keep trying and striding to succeed and without them, I would not have accomplished what I have today. One of the things that I am most proud of doing is helping to bring new clubs and activities to Barnegat High School.

    Essay On Renaissance Festival

    What exactly is the Renaissance Festival? I found this to be a reoccurring thought on the opening day as my family and I arrived at the Festival. The Renaissance Festival is a unique festival that takes place in the United States of America. Most of the time they are non-permanent set ups that are only around for a period of time. They recreate the felling of what it would have been like to live during the Elizabethan Era or the medieval times.…
