Tuesday Morning September 11th, 2001 I put my son’s Frank and Brandon on the school bus. I remember, looking up at the sky and thinking what a perfectly gorgeous day or weather. The large fluffy white clouds made the shade of the Blue Sky even more deep in brilliant. Arriving at the office with a traditional Tim ,Horton’s cup of coffee in hand I expected a typical morning.…
Ever since I was a child I have been shy. Talking to my peers and teachers made me very uncomfortable. Presenting a project in class was also something that always seemed so difficult to do. Getting a word out was honestly a tough thing to do. I am an introvert…
I have noticed that sometime I only concern myself with people that I know. I make sure my children are fine and do not care about anyone else. I also noticed once a person gets on my bad side. I can become rude and annoyed with that person…
Do you think that school should start later? I think school should start later. As a middle schooler, I see some students sleeping in class. I can tell that students aren’t getting enough sleep at night.…
It was a cold and snowy day outside when it all began. January 14, 2014; the day that my parents had officially decided to move to Phoenix, Arizona from Detroit, Michigan. This is the day a lot changed in my life. My parents made this decision for a few different reasons. However, the main reason was my eight year old sister, Abigail, who had a terrible case of asthma.…
Tensions in The United States are high between different races, as cultural differences are splitting our country. Although, this was a problem that has been around since The United States was founded, it is becoming more apparent today. Violence between different races has risen, because one group thinks they are better than the other. Our current president, Donald Trump has also hinted at the idea that races such as Mexicans, and Muslims are not worthy of being in the United States. This leads me to believe that racism is the biggest problem facing our country today.…
Standing in the middle of the hall, looking at every new face makes me feel so lost. No one was there for me to turn to or talk to. This was not what I expected when coming to Stanly Early College. At that time, I was only fourteen years old with no friends at Stanly Early College, which made me feel very out of place. It made me regret choosing Stanly Early College because at first I thought I would get to know different people, but I only ended up being alone.…
It was a hot sunny Saturday. My birthday. So were all playing the hunger games, riding goats, playing basketball, shooting BB guns. Later my mom rang the bell and yelled, “Time to eat! It’s six pm” .So…
The morning school started I had a difficult time waking up due to me staying up late the night before, against my parents’ recommendation. Everyday I’d be looking forward to the end of…
Tuesday, September 11, 2001, a date that will forever be a part of history, a tragedy that shook the world. I recall going back to school the following week, an 11 year old Muslim 7th grader ready to start her day. Boy was it difficult. The deadly stares I received while commuting on the NJ transit bus to and from school. I felt like I was the blame for every tragedy that has occurred.…
I was scared. It wasn’t my first time in a emergency room getting stitches but it was the first time that i saw all that blood. I was getting light headed with my grandma telling me not close my eyes. I thought she was exaggerating like she always does…
My critical thinking paper is all about social phobia or what we also called social anxiety. Before I proceed with discussion, let me first define the meaning of social anxiety, its symptoms and cause. According to the definition made by WebMD website, Social anxiety disorder, also called social phobia, is an anxiety disorder in which a person has an excessive and unreasonable fear of social situations. Anxiety (intense nervousness) and self-consciousness arise from a fear of being closely watched, judged, and criticized by others. A person with this kind of disorder is afraid of making a mistake, look ridiculous, embarrassed or humiliated with other people.…
I do not remember exactly the particular day but all I remember was that it was very humid and the sky was cloudy. It was just a few days before I joined first grade and I had just arrived home from my neighbors. I was utilizing my last few days of freedom and hence was tired and hungry. I had rushed home looking forward to my grandmother’s food and playing time.…
Each day that I get older, the more I realize the sand in the glass slides by faster. Realizing that this time is not just going by quickly, it is spent worrying and waiting about things that I should not. From every age, I can remember something I waited to do or something for which I was excited about. When I was younger, I could not wait to grow up. I wanted to attend school, play sports, and graduate with all my friends, I looked forward to so many things in the future that I could not wait for.…
When people ask me to describe myself, I always draw a blank, I never know what to say, I’m caught off guard because I don’t really love talking about myself too often because I am someone who likes to listen rather than to talk. I always have to think about what I should say to make a good impression on whomever is asking me the question. There is a lot about me that you can see by just looking at me; I have short brunette hair, I’m short, hazel eyes, I’m quiet, and more. However, there are certain personality traits about me that every single person I know on a personal basis can tell you; I am candid, I am shy, and I am very loving. I am candid and by candid, I mean I am always very truthful and frank.…
