Pacing back and forth, I pondered how our volleyball fundraiser was going to stay afloat. The council was distraught, unable to acquire more teams, with the tournament in two days. With our advisors and the vice principal leaning towards canceling the event, my council had two choices: get eight more teams to sign up or call off the event. I didn’t want to cancel because I knew that as Junior and Senior year approached, we needed more money to fund our proms and class trips.…
In completing the course English 112 at Robeson Community College, I have found myself with a new found understanding how to write various genres, and do them well. Newly, I have experienced the handling of opinion writing, research writing, and direct analyzation writing. These concepts greatly helped me achieve the knowledge of love in writing. This class had an overall positive affect on the individual I now am, and created a way in which I read an assignment, sit down, and promptly beginning work. In this class, aspects such as research, analyzation, and procrastination hit the closest to who I was before enrolling and completing this course.…
It's been ten years I killed myself. It's was very painful. The worst part was that I saw my family and my best friend in pain. I caused more pain on them then I was alive. My best friends feels that it her fault.…
Slide 6 is very meaningful to me. It is filled with pictures I have taken throughout my past 3 years. When my freshman year at Paint Branch I decided to take Photography. At first it was just an easy art credit, but then it turned into much more. I started to go on trips to different far places and fell in love with what I saw.…
The Big Game It was December 7,2015. I was in Des Moines at a championship game. We played 2 games to warm up. Then went to our championship game up against the Waterloo Hoopers. We started it was 10 to 10.…
My First Shot The air was empty but the pond was full. We sneak through the trees to get to the pond. We get there to realize that the gamble we took didn't pay off. Since we got there about thirty minutes before shoot time we waited. That was the slowest 30 minutes ever.…
Keira became a walking corpse. Her full face grew skinnier than before, and her freckles were absent. Her face was as pale as a bust in a museum, but blue and veiny around her eyes. Her mouth constantly remained open, for she was unable to breathe from her nose. She had started to talk to herself, and she told herself all the time: “it'll all be over soon.…
The Big Game! We were talking, stretching, and listening to our warm up playlist. After about fifteen minutes goofing around, it was time to get serious. We all sat down on our dugout bench.…
Starting a first assignment can be enjoyable yet nerve wrecking, as when it involves researching yourself on "Google". it doesn't seem to help either Being a beginner to online classes, Its quite Intimidating .Its comforting of being slightly used to the computer, as my past job experience has been mostly at call centers, in front of lucent screen. When I vigoursly research myself I expect to find past photos which I probably never knew existed, maybe a my space account, sadly abandoned as I matured through the years without it. What I did find though surprisingly did not surprise me .…
I wrote a book. One, where if it were a movie I would not be old enough to watch it without an adult. No, you can not buy it at Barnes & Nobles or your local bookstore or anywhere books are sold. But I would gladly give you a printed 8 x 11, arial, black and white, 5 font size, unstapled copy in exchange for a Jackson. A little more if you want it signed.…
In life, there are few places where we go and feel completely at comfort. A place where our guards are down and we can take a break from the chaotic world outside. Where you can rip off the mask of yourself that you show strangers and be truly yourself with no fear of being ridiculed. This place, for me, is Clark University. It is hard to describe in words why, but as soon as I stepped onto the grounds of the university I knew that it was where I was meant to belong.…
This is a really big game. I'm ready for the game to start. It was my last soccer tournament against the hardest team, Mundelein. Tweet! The ref blew the whistle the game was as exciting as the Super Bowl.…
“Oh my gosh”, I whispered with dread as i stared at the bright computer screen. I was in the middle of my classroom with people talking and laughing, but not me. “That’s the worst grade i’ve ever had.” I need to have more responsibility... It was just a normal friday afternoon, kids getting excited about the weekend; school was almost done.…

The classroom my group has their activities is in the Special Education room. The room has big windows, Christmas lights, colorful pictures and other things that are visually appealing.…
I was not an excellent writer at the beginning of the school year, but I can gladly say now that I have inherited more writing skills that I will benefit from in the future. One of those skills is being able to reflect on every angle on my topic to allow me to organize my ideas accurately. This skill is beneficial to learn, for it helped with my report essay to acquire the focus of my paper more clearly. Moreover, this skill helped me write papers in my other classes more easily and efficiently. Likewise, my voice can be read strongly throughout the personal narrative essay, because the passion I had for my topic was an emotional one.…
