In the middle of my sophomore year, I was asked by a senior if I would like to be the president of a dance club they had started that year. The club members knew that I was apart of a well known dance studio. I was indecisive primarily because the club only had 3 members and so I did not know how I could make it into something starting off alone and young, but something told me to just go for it. And that I did.…
I do apologize and wish I had found out sooner about the cancellation but what do you recommend I do? I realize the semester starts tuesday but by any chance will there be another Linear Algebra class available as a minimester or in the summer I know based off last years summer they did not offer the class and I fear that this single class may cause me to wait till the fall 2016 semester for me to graduate. As of right now I replaced the Linear Algebra class with an online Principle of Economics 1 class leaving me with only Texas Government and Linear Algebra needed for graduation. Now do you suggest I take Differential Equations instead of Linear Algebra or is there an alternative class that would be beneficial and a requirement in order…
Are You Reading Enough? I’ve always loved reading as long as I can remember. As I grow older I feel as if I’m drifting away from reading. The question is am I reading enough? Right now I don’t think I am.…
The time is now. I am back stage pacing back and forth trying not to panic. I am wearing tan khakis, with a blue buttoned up shirt with a light gray cardigan around my neck, I was dressed as Warner from Legally Blonde. This adrenaline inside me is taking over, everyone is telling me that I am going to do well, but deep down I am trying not to vomit from being so nervous. Lights fade out.…
I was raised by both of my parents, and grew up with two sisters. We moved a lot when I was little, then we got a stable home for 3 years while I was attending elementary in Mexico. Everything seemed to be perfect. Then the worry in my dad's eyes appeared. I was too young to understand, I was only told that we had to move because dad needed a better job.…
I work for my dad on our family ranch in Jones Creek, Texas. The work is hard, backbreaking, and tiring. Everyday when I get home I eat the meal that my momma makes for us: there is no arguing whether or not that is what you are having for supper. Every night I get in bed completely wore out from a hard days work, then I wake up to do it all again in the morning. This job is not for everyone, however it is for me.…
Last winter, my grandmother got breast cancer. This took a hard toll on my whole family. The doctors said that she was only in stage 2 and that it would be cured with radiation. My grandmother had to go to radiation everyday, 5 days a week. This was extremely difficult on my family.…
Have you ever been 12? Probably, but everyone is different when they're 12. When I was a small 12 year old, there wasn't much to me. I was misplaced, sad, scared, and stupid. And when I say stupid, I do mean stupid.…
My whole life I’ve been a little different. From the clothes I wear and the way I present myself, to the way I look at the world, I’ve always been somewhat peculiar. Not peculiar in a bad way, but in an interesting, provocative kind of way. I am the weird greenish-yellow crayon in the box that no one ever uses. I was born in Anchorage, Alaska.…
I sat there in the hard seat of my desk and waited patiently. The scent of Lysol was overwhelmingly powerful in the room, but I knew by the third week it would be overpowered by the smell of musty children and chalk dust. I could not wait for my new teacher to saunter up to me, eyes full of admiration, and give me my paper. I had worked hard on it for nearly two months during the summer prior to this new school year. Looking around the room at my new classmates, it was easy to tell who had done the summer assignments, especially with their conspicuous faces.…
In third grade, a boy named Blake - a notorious troublemaker - would chase every girl during class trying to kiss her on the lips. Most of the girls gave in eventually. It was easier to give in than to keep running. When it was my day to be chased, I turned to him, grabbed his glasses off his pudgy face, and stomped on them in front of all the kids on the blacktop. He ran to the principal's office and cried.…
To say my year was uneventful, well that would be a lie. So many things have happened and so many things have gone unnoticed. Where to begin,where to end,what to include and what not to include. So many things to say,that will never be told,so many jokes no one will understand but us. So much life that never seemed eventful at the time.…
When I was twelve years old, I went to the fair in another city. There were numerous recreational facilities, and the most memorable one, which later become myfavorite, was the Drop. In truth, I was scared when I first decided to go on it because the drop felt like a free fall. When I got to the top , I was wondering why I had forced myself to do this extreme game. This reflects a conflict I often have between my thoughts and my ambitions Often there is something I want to do, but I give up because of cowardice.…
Anyone that has ever lost their smartphone knows that it is like walking through Antarctica with no clothes; the amount of chills you get are almost unbearable. You start frantically looking everywhere for it, fearing the worst. Your heart pounds with panic as you race up and down your house. Or in my case, racing through the Serbian woods.…
The relationship I chose to analyze for my interpersonal communication paper was the relationship I had with my ex-girlfriend Laura. We met in high school through mutual friends and we dated throughout my junior and senior years. Communication problems and trust issues eventually were too big of a barrier to knock down and our relationship ended there. The main concepts I chose to analyze about my previous relationship were Personal Language, Nonverbal Communication, Proximity, the Social Penetration Theory, and lastly Relationship Threats. Personal Language shows your true self and is how you express your individuality and it is also more common in a private setting.…
