I feel I am related since my friend volunteering to tutor me on my essay, so I could improve my english skill. In addition, I think I was related to Oscar because he won't give up his dream, and he will do no matter what until dream achieved. According to my experience, I will do no

Not only did Wade Chittam physically leave his mark on the University of South Carolina at Lancaster he also left an emotional one. With the genuine claps given and all the recaps several professors and Chittam retold there wasn’t a better ambient in such return to the university he so strongly aided.

    As the president of my class, I would work hard to provide everyone at my school with better hot-lunch, food you can buy during the lunch period that is delivered to the school. Many people I have spoken with scorn the boxed nutrition. An avid hot-lunch goer, Eric Needleman is morose, and he always complains to me that his chicken fingers are too flaky. Two of my other friends, Cliff Mueller and Luke Gilbert, would also appreciate this act because they think the food is too dry. Another issue I would notably tackle is the situation with the bathrooms typically being out of paper towels, paper sheets used to wipe your hands after you wash them.…
