Improved Essays
It was a sunny day. The smell of the ocean air and the divine rich food from the outside kitchen filled my senses. I was on deck 12 of the Carnival Imagination ship, playing mini golf with some teenagers I had just met. Then this lady came up to us and asked us,”Do you want to compete in the hole-in-one competition?” We said, “Yes.” All we had to do was sign the paper and we were ready to compete.
When we started to compete in the hole-in-one competition I was on fire. I blasted through all the holes with ease. I was confident I was going to win. But in the end, we had a tie. It was between me and this other kid. The score was 1-1. We played the last hole, it was number 9. I was so nervous. When you play mini golf you are trying to get

    But then came my second shot which fades a little right and almost in the sand, I chip on and then four putt. All I was saying after that hole was “Really you come all the way here to four putt, that's just great Andria.” If that doesn't describe the team's effort that day, I don’t know what does. Fast Forwarding to the end of the day, I shot an 86, Gabby shot an 84, Morgan 78, and Lindsay 99. That meant we were heading into the second day eleven strokes back and in third place.…

    “Alright now Skin, I need you to be my leadoff here and get a rally going!” I do not respond, because I obviously know how important this one at bat is for the team and for myself. One thing coach loves doing, making sure I know how much I am accountable for. There is no comment to explain to me of how dependent I am on these upcoming moments for the team, so don’t make it any worse. To start off and to have the power to set the tone of the whole inning.…

    For the past four years, I’ve sat through six-hour-long competitions several times a year. These competitions are an integral part of CyberPatriot, a national computer security education program for high school students. For nearly the entire six-hours, I focus on securing a Linux system by using command line, editing server configuration files, and digging through the Linux filesystem, while my teammates complete networking quizzes and work on securing Windows systems. During competitions and weekly meetings, we made frequent use of technology and security websites to solve problems and form a fundamental understanding of the working of operating systems. In my second year, I became the CyberPatriot president, took on management-related activities,…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
