My first car was something that I greatly was looking forward to getting as a child and my interest in getting one grew, as the days got closer to my sixteenth birthday. The first car I owned was a Automatic Black 2004 Ford f-150 truck, which I discovered on a website called Craigslist. It was priced at five thousand nine hundred dollars with only eighty-four thousand miles on it, which in my case was great considering that I could only afford a seven thousand dollar car. The truck came with all…
Helping a Friend On May 20, 2014, Sophia and seven of her friends decided to take a trip to Lake Michigan. Sophia’s aunt owns a lake house in Arcadia, Michigan, so the girls decided to rent out the place for a few weeks. When they arrived to the house late in evening, they unpacked and settled in. Sophia, Carly, Kaylee, and Sally slept in the room with bunk beds, while Kelly, Diane, and Lauren slept in the master bedroom. George got the room in the middle all to himself. Everyone managed to get along…
rest of my life. After brainstorming what to do I finally decided that a backpacking trip would be perfect. I saw this as a time to challenge myself and this would help prepare me for my new life out of high school and the perfect place to challenge myself were the cascades in central Washington. So I called up my lifelong friend Noah King. Noah has the same personality as me if he sees a challenge he’s going to attempt it. So with that I knew I had the perfect partner to go with me on my journey…
Neba and I met at our mutual friend (yoni 's) house back in 2002. Neba was vacationing from London. My friend Samri and I went to yoni 's house during lunch time. Since I had to go back to school we didn 't stay that long. After we left, Samri said that Neba was checking me out and I didn 't think it was a big deal and that was it. Later, once we started dating, he found some pictures that we took together him standing next to me from our first acquaintance. I guess it was the gravity of love that…
random location. Poverty is a big problem in society that needs to be dealt with, the world has the wealth and means to end poverty. My personal responsibility to my fellow citizens is to be more aware myself and make other people aware by identify the causes of poverty and making it known to them that this is a real problem in society that we need to do something about. My first source goes into detail on how big corporations and rich individuals cause poverty by abusing tax loopholes and not paying…
Comparing myself with my fellow friends, I can consider myself to be lucky enough to be able to travel to almost every prominent country and city such as Paris, Japan, Singapore and so forth. Most of them are for accompanying my father doing his business. Importantly, I learned that regardless how countries are well developed, they differ from each other when it comes to cultural context. Therefore, based on my wide experience, I prefer to live in a collectivist country for the many benefits that…
can remember the day I received my first car, It was six months after my sixteenth birthday, and I had already managed to somehow acquire my drivers license. It was April, the flowers were blooming, the weather had changed from bitter cold, to a warm and inviting temperature. I had just gotten home from school and my dad shouts, “Micaiah, let’s go check out some cars.” My heart was exploding with excitement, the thought of me actually being able to have a car of my own was the best news so far. I…
After a silent car ride, we pulled up into the driveway and I hopped out of the car before it could even completely stop. With my backpack repeatedly hitting my side I rushed through the front door, ran down the hall, bursted into my room and immediately shut my door. I dropped my bag and leaned against the wood, lowering myself to the ground. I pulled my phone from my pocket. Two missed calls, three texts, one voicemail. Mom. "Hey." Said one. "How did it go?" Asked another. "Call me when you…
to go golfing with my best friend Dylan. The weather was perfect for a day of golfing. It was sunny, and it was about 80 degrees with a nice breeze. I’ve only been golfing a few times, but I am starting to get into it more. I am definitely not a professional golfer, but I love the sport. Dylan pulled in the driveway around 9:30, you could hear the horn from inside the house. I grabbed my stuff and walked to his car. We were blasting music in the car just goofing off like friends do. It took about…
Narrative One fateful day, my friends and I were hanging out in a park near my family house in Grand Prairie, a city full of friendly people and eye-catching scenery. A strange guy with one black eye, he had the most disgusting rotten teeth and he looked like he was the type of person who wanted to make people’s lives miserable. the more the guy approached the more my friend Chris started to get worried, then Chris asked me and my other friend Mas a question ‘does this guy looks any suspicious…
