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.…
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.…
Conundrums barge in without knocking, perhaps, that’s when people encounter what is known as, the real reality. Consequently, my mother and I faced numerous of dilemmas together, strengthening our connection. My most valued moment is the times I’ve spent bonding with my mother. I cherish spending quality time with the woman who has sacrificed absolutely everything in her capacity to see me flourish to who I am today. Moreover, every moment, activity, sorrows, joyful moment we have spent together has strengthened me and pushed me.…
What Was I Doing I woke up at eight o’clock in the morning like any other day. I got out of the bed and pulled open the curtains to see what a beautiful day it was outside. The sky was crystal blue; the sun was shining, with a slight breeze. I could not have asked for a more perfect day. I went to the kitchen poured a glass of orange juice; and made some bacon, eggs, and toast for breakfast.…
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.…
Every Thursday at 3:30pm I get into my dad's Air Force blue, 2005 Ford Explorer, and I am filled with a nausea of excitement. My anticipation cuts through the mixture of country music and old rock ‘n’ roll filling in the car. I am aware that once we park the car at 220 Geiger Road in front of Doc Bresler’s Cavity Busters, that I will be forced to overcome a new obstacle. As a child I was always intellectually curious, musically inclined, athletically challenged, and hungry.…
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.…
I understand that I am not always correct and normally I play the Devil’s Advocate within discussions whether the discussions in the organizations…
You don’t Say? I don’t know about you but I felt so stupid when I had my first baby. I had read tons of books, well not tons, but a lot…
I am confident that I am a more competitive applicant, because I aim to improve myself on a daily basis. I am self-aware and cognizant of the fact that there is always room for improvement. Thus, I engage in self-development activities on a daily basis, each of which contributes to my competitiveness as an applicant. Each day I make it a point to practice healthy living. I do this not just for my own well-being, but also because I believe it is important to practice the topics for which I am an advocate.…
Let's get one thing straight. We are not the Breakfast Club. We did not meet by chance, and we did not leave whether or not we would always be friends a mystery to those who were watching us. As far as I know, we will always be friends, and if we are not, I’ll always try to remember what made us, us.…
It was late at night and i was sound asleep and the ground started lightly shaking i thought it was a dream then the it started shaking bad and i jumped out of my sleep in fear. My whole room was starting to fall apart my shelf fell my wall cracked all my pictures fell. My mom ran in and said come on we have to get out now! So i got up and ran with her down the stairs to the front door when we got outside our whole neighborhood was out and scattering like mice.…
It was barely 7 PM, yet I was already worn out, the day had been long and tiring, and I was just about to call it a night. I crawled into bed, ready for sleep, but then I heard the "whoosh" that signalled an email being sent to me on my phone. I retrieved my phone and was just about to click the mail icon before a shiver went down my spine. It felt as though someone was staring at me, grieving for me, so I looked at my surroundings, half expecting to spot a ghost smiling eerily at me. There was no malevolent spirit to be seen, obviously, so I just shrugged the feeling off and checked the message.…
I’d really done it this time. Mom had been furious when she had learned that I had hit my brother with a golf club, which is rather justified considering my brother had started bleeding. I hadn’t meant to make him to bleed, we were just playing a game. He hid under the ginormous pillow that belonged on the moon chair and I asked him if it hurt when I hit it with one of my plastic golf clubs, it was just a silly game we had made up on the spot, surely it wasn’t my fault that I had hit the opening just right. But then again, it was definitely my fault.…
Within the past four years I have learned a lot about myself, my beliefs, and my goals in life. I have learned I am a positive, hardworking, respectful and confident student, friend, and daughter. I have challenged my beliefs year to year and hopefully will continue to do so more in the future. I believe that to survive life you must be truly happy. To be truly happy it is important to surround yourself with others who truly love you and to most importantly love yourself.…
