Even though I had a great summer this year, my favorite time was when I went to the beach with my family. My day at the beach with my family was a great time to just kick back, relax, and have fun. We did things, such as set up the beach supplies, Swam in the water, walked on the boardwalk, and many more. For example, we played football, we played volleyball, soccer, and whiffle ball. Overall, my day at the beach was extraordinary and I can't wait to do it again.…
“Don’t forget, the paper is due next Wednesday!” My 8th period teacher, Mrs. Oakford told to my class and I as we streamed out of the cramped classroom on a Friday. We couldn’t wait to bust out of the schools doors and claim our prize of a short freedom for surviving another busy, exhausting, and slow week of middle school. I rushed to my locker, grabbed everything I would need for the homework due Monday, threw it in my bag and headed down the hall collecting my friends to walk to town to start what I would hope would be a slow but fun weekend off The weekend went quicker than I wished and before I knew it, it was late Sunday night and I still hadn’t done my homework, I realized this and got to work.…

The Summer of 2008 We have all been curious before; whether it was about a small ladybug on your window or a rocket ship in outer space. Sometimes it’s best to not let your curiosity get the best of you because in the end, if you let yourself be curious, you might end up putting yourself or others in danger. The sky coated itself in dark lavender on this particular hot, summer day, so anyone would immediately know it was going to start pouring.…

First, I went to Springfield, MO then for the second half of the week I went to colorful and breathtaking Colorado. Both were fun even though I started off the break with the flu. I started to feel bad right after school was out on Thursday.…
Summer came around and it was time to leave again, I would have thought I would be used to it by now but nothing ever changed. I never got used to leaving each summer having to leave for five months and coming back late each school year was just not what I wanted. Of course, I was a migrant with my parents, both working in the fields to give a better future to my family. I always complained that I didn’t want to leave anymore that I wanted to stay with my family not be alone where my parents worked. As well, I worked as a babysitter because my family needed the extra money so I didn’t have a normal childhood, I took care of the kids that was my childhood.…
The puzzle pieces were starting to scatter apart when I got notified by my second grade teacher that I had to take that recuperation exam for math class. It wasn't a surprise, back then I wasn’t that efficient at math. I needed support, so I took tutoring in math courses for about a month and studied the whole content that I took for my second grade year. If I didn’t pass that test I knew I would be unsatisfied. That way I feel it’s worse than summer school.…
Personal Essay First Draft When I was 8 years old I realized my brother Benny and I were twins. I realized this the first year we went to summer camp. There was not necessarily one singular moment when I discovered we were twins, it was over the three week period that this epiphany came to me. For the first few days no one could tell us apart. In our activities, meals, and sometimes in our cabins other people could not tell us apart.…
“I said to myself, ‘If I put everything toward gymnastics and every moment in the gym was spent well, then I could do it.’” Kocks knew where he wanted to be, and he knew he wanted to be at Nebraska, but he said he had to commit everything to reach that goal. I said to myself, ‘How great am I able to become?’” Kocks said his coaches “put a little spark into him.” They would constantly say he had the potential to be an All-American on rings; Kocks just didn’t really understand how.…
Ever since the day I was born I always felt like someone who would stand out in a crowd.

I think that this year started out a little shaky, but I'm starting to get on top of things. There was a lot happening in my life at the beginning of the school year, many distractions, but now I am focused on school and am getting things done. I am trying to work towards being more organized and fixing my work habits further, as I am already on the road to fixing that. But there are still so many situations where I put off work until the very last moment, then doing all of it until 4:00, or sometimes even later.…
