Improved Essays
“Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Pleaseeeee! C’mon, let’s go! We have to!” I shouted.
It was January 20th, 2015. 8:00pm. (AKA my birthday). We were in the middle of having cake. And as in we, I mean my Mom, Danny, Zio, Nonna, and Nonno. As we were enjoying our strawberry cake, we were discussing if we should drive to Arizona or not. The only reason we were thinking about going is because, well, Danny’s mom had just passed away and my Nonna Angie (his mom), and Nonno Vito (his dad) had a house out in Surprise, Arizona. We would really only go to kind of help clean it out because my Nonno Vito was going to sell it eventually. So, just because it was my birthday, didn’t really have to do too much with the decision.

Most of the time while I was waiting, I just sat around talked with my Mom and Nonna, did cartwheels ( which I got in trouble for doing because it wasn’t “appropriate” to do). But I mean, what else when you supposed to do when ur a 9 year old sitting in a car place for hours with a phone that was almost dead? After a little while, they told us we needed to buy a new rim and tire. I honestly didn’t think it was that bad. But, it was. Finally, after waiting, we got our of there. When we got done, we drove to a gas station so we could go to the bathroom and so some of them could smoke. When everyone was outside, I was in the car. Waiting. Again. They were talking about how they thought the best idea was to go home. I totally disagreed. After we had come so far we couldn’t just give up. We were more than ⅔ of the way there. When I heard them talking, I rolled down the window and stated my opinion. They didn’t really care for what I had to say at this point. I mean, I agreed that they thought the best option was to go home because of our car but, we just

    “Why I Chose Southwest” As a homeschooled high school senior, I am unable to take Advanced Placement courses, which are college-level classes taken at a high school. Students earn college credits by taking an exam at the end of the year. To remedy this, I decided to register at Southwest Tennessee Community College for dual enrollment classes. I chose Southwest for a multitude of reasons: to complete my high school education, to provide challenging courses in preparation for college, and to grant me college credit. I opted to take Pre Calculus, English Composition, and Anatomy & Physiology this semester.…

    My body continued to be attacked, as I was unable to escape the mass of mosquitoes hovering around me. There was nothing that I could do except helplessly swat at my arms to avoid being bitten repeatedly. As I followed my trail guide aimlessly into the desert I began to feel my arms ache from the jugs of water I was carrying. Eventually reaching our destination I left the gallon jugs for migrants in the future seeking for help. On this hike I personally experienced the treacherous journey through the desert that migrants take in hope for a better future.…

    “How much longer?” I groaned out to my dad while wiping the sweat off my brow caused by the blistering heat of the mid-day sun. We were hiking up the Arizona Trail in the Grand Canyon for almost two hours. My brother and cousin were running up ahead, trying to race each other to the top of the 13-mile trail. My dad kept yelling at the two of them to slow down and wait for us. I knew the three of them wanted to go faster but kept having to wait for me.…

    It was also my first time going to Knott’s Berry Farm without my parents. It was a Sunday and the 11-13 year olds were getting hot dogs, drinks, and chips ready to sell. The reason we were selling these food items was because we were having a fundraiser so each of us could pay for our ticket, so that we could go to Knott’s Berry Farm. I was kind of disappointed because I didn’t sell that much money during the first service. I was really worried that I wasn’t gonna be able to go, but my sister and my friend Kaylie cheered…
