Hemingway App makes your writing bold and clear.

Giving back to my community has always felt like a social responsibility to me. I live in a rural area, which can be isolating at times, so feeling close and more connected to my community is important to me. While working at the hospital, I have learned a lot about the medical field as well as various social skills that I would have otherwise not learned until much later in life.

At the time I was the president of French club and my idea of changing the French club for the better resulted in a whole new club. The hope for the foreign language club was to promote intercultural understanding and pair it with learning a new language.

The club has allowed me to explore my interests as well as given me responsibility because I am in charge of planning our community service activities and organizing our different school related functions. I have also gained a lot of leadership experience not only in having responsibility but also in

    As a child, I remember my mother would bring me to the doctor’s office every other week for minimal reasons, such as a simple cough or a headache. Although I insisted I felt fine, she was always worried my condition was worse than it appeared. Over time, the appointments became mundane as there was nothing significantly wrong with me, and my pediatrician told my mother to stop bringing me so often. As I got older, I realized my mother and I grew in different settings. She was raised in a Vietnamese village, where access to treatment and health care education were limited and overlooked.…

    At a young age, I was taught to do things for the greater good, my family has always given back whether it is donating food and clothes or adopting a family for Christmas.

    Unit Life: I like my unit a lot. We get along very well without much effort; however, we aren't as close as we could (or maybe should) be. I know that I contribute to that just as much as anyone else does, and that people find myself and the things that I do just as weird and annoying as I find the things that they do weird and annoying. We don’t do many activities together except for required things: church, worship nights, learning components, family dinners etc. This is something that I think should change soon, that we spend more time together, whether that is watching movies together, going skiing, or playing board games.…

    The way a story ends, whether it’s in a movie or a book, is extremely important. When a film or novel ends in an unsatisfactory way, those who watched or read it tend to be unhappy and the reviews will generally reflect this. Since the conclusion is the final installment, it is the portion that consumers tend to remember the most; therefore, a good conclusion is quintessential to any literary work. Ernest Hemingway found a great way to conclude In Our Time through the two-part story "The Big Two-Hearted River.…
