I remember a time when I was younger; I would ride along with my dad in his 2000 mustang. I would love every second I was inside of it. One day, I vowed that I would get a mustang just like his when I got my driver’s license and this was a lifelong goal of mine. Now, my goals are a little more thought out and somewhat goofy. My goals now are to play a show in a band, to visit most of the museums in the U.S., and to travel to Europe and some of the U.K. One of my goals since I have been little is to be in a band and play a show. I’ve played the guitar since I was about 11 years old. Once I started playing, I became very passionate about it and have always dreamt about being in a band. There was actually a time I was close to playing a show. Around a year ago, I was in a band with a couple of friends, and our bassist was also involved in another side project. He called me one day and asked me to play guitar in the side project, and I gratefully accepted. So we got together so I could learn their material, and we had a gig booked about a month and a half after that. Around two weeks later, the bassist kicked everyone in the band out, and created a new lineup, and took …show more content…
I have always believed that visiting the United Kingdom and Europe would be a very fascinating thing to do. I can always remember that the whole reason I’ve wanted to visit these places is because of my dad. My dad was in the army and has done a few tours in his career in the army. The reason why him being in the military has to do with my goal of going to the U.K. and Europe is because he visited them on his tours. He always had cool stories of things he saw while he was there, like monuments: for instance, Big Ben. This brings significance to me because it reminds me of my past, all while reminding me of the things I would like to see and observe. This, being a goal of mine, will hopefully be achieved in my

    Beginning junior year, I occupied myself with the most constructive investment in my life. My daily routine was bland, but oddly hailed as the ultimate path to victory. I was learning in school, but the learning lacked meaning. Plot lines and mathematical formulas were unavailing ideas, which I tepidly regurgitated. I concluded that a life permeated with monotonous toil was not worth celebrating on my day of judgment.…

    Technology has developed so much over the years that we have relied on it so much. Technology is used in pretty much everything we use nowadays. Living in a neighborhood was the greatest advantage, but having kids the same age as I was even better. There was never a time we weren't outside: rain, shine, snow, miserably cold, or even scorchingly hot. There was 4 of us: 3 girls and 1 guy, all around the same age.…

    Using natural language to communicate is, for the vast majority of us, something we do every day from a very young age. That said, when we look closely, communication is not without its fair share of hurdles. Indeed, is a fact of human social intercourse that individuals do not always say what they mean, or mean what they say in conversational contexts. In this paper, we will expound upon the issue of implicatures present in human communication, as described by Grice. In addition, we will present two related theories which attempt to elucidate how human beings are able to grasp what others mean with seemingly little effort.…

    The trips were unplanned, as I have traveled to 13 different countries in four continents of the world. At least that was something to brag about after returning home from six years of military service. I would talk about these moments in a heartbeat when topics related to travel surface in conversations. Remembering and reliving those moments brings great fulfillment. Usually, there's a moment in life where I experience home in places I've visited.…

    It was a typical Friday, school was off and the temperature was at its highest. At times like this I would stay home to avoid the sun; however, my friends insisted that I must join them for a soccer game and so I did. We used a garage as our field and aligned a few cement bricks to form the goals which we then typically argue about how un-even the alignments were. The sun slowly faded away as night approached so I excused myself and retreated home fearing the consequences of being breaking curfew.…

    Days on end of constant pacing, hard work, and unnecessary social interaction. That’s pretty much what I see school as being in a majority of the time, but luckily, every year we get a 2 week vacation. Those are practically blessings for students and I’m sure teachers too. I never do anything but still, it’s a nice time to work on whatever I don’t have time to during school. I have a fairly packed schedule during the school year, so the 2 weeks are a nice time to catch up on sleep and T.V. shows.…
