I am currently in the airport. I looked at the crowd of people. One man stood out from the crowd.

The document that was most eye-opening and informing for me would be Document 25, Narrative of an Armenian Lady. Before reading her document, I had not previously heard of the Armenian Genocide so every detail provided was new information to me. I was struck by the matter-of-fact way she described the conditions of their forced journey: “…and that night we had to drink water polluted with blood” (91), “The third day after that they robbed us, and violated us near a place where there was water” (91), and “They also attacked us every night and kidnapped little children” (92). Reading this firsthand account of such a horrid event that I’ve never come across before was truly enlightening because it really opened my eyes to how much else there is…
I have not worked closely with Danisia. My impressions and limited experience however are very positive overall. In my interaction with her she is respectful, listens, and handles correction well. I sense her desire to do a good and she comes across very conscientious.…

I do not if you remember me but I’m Stephanie Espinal. I went to your office before the exam number 3 and talked about how can I do better in the mini-exams. I do not want to say that I give up on doing well in the mini-exams, but not matter what I do I still get a bad grade. This frustrates me a lot. Before coming to UMass I did have problems taking exams but at least, I used to pass them.…
Ambition, brave, ready Have you ever imagined how life would be if you succeed all your challenges and went from sticking to your guts instead of the demons in our head. I do all the time. It's okay to be afraid we're all human. By the way I'm Salma Tovar an average teenage girl. I attend to do great things in life, we all do.…
I’ve always loved the sound of rain. Its soft patter against my window releases me from the stresses of college applications, if only for a moment. Then, as quickly as it came, the rain stops its descent upon my window and retreats; growing up in Central Florida, I have been well accustomed to erratic weather patterns such as the rain coming and going in a moment’s notice. Florida’s weather has taught me a valuable lesson over the years: life can be as unpredictable as the weather.…
Over the past couple of days, I’ve had the opportunity to interview alumni of Tell City Jr. Sr High School, Hailey Carman. An alumnus is a graduate of Tell City, and Hailey graduated in the year of 2015-2016. Hailey has been involved with many of the extracurricular activities that our school has to offer. One of those is being involved with cross country and track. Hailey was a dedicated runner throughout high school and recalls that running taught her many life lessons.…
Many refer to me as the wife of Justinian the First, Emperor of the Byzantine Empire, I prefer to be called Empress Theodora as my husband and I were co-rulers, after all. If you had lived during our reign, you would have known that I was the force behind the throne. A feat accomplished by few women 1500 years ago. During our reign, my husband and I aggregated the Roman Empire.…
Finding my way as an American It was during the Iran revolution, when my dad sent me and my brothers to America for education opportunity and to escape all the religious uprisings. The government and people in Iran were overthrowing the shah at the time and were trying to replace the dynasty with an Islamic Republic. My dad wanted me out of there as soon as possible, In order to stay safe and receive a good education. It was so sad to see my home country die out and put so many innocents that supported the shah, in danger.…
Throughout my high school career, and previous to high school, I have taken various science and art classes. These are subjects that have always caught my attention and I plan to continue attending classes that fall under these categories, during my senior year and throughout college. Science has been a subject that I have always had an interest in and have thoroughly enjoyed. During high school, my focuses have primarily been in health science classes that will help me excel in a medical career, although I have taken science classes outside of this area. The classes I have taken so far are Honors Biology, Medical Science I, Animal Science, Honors Chemistry…
Anastasia, Elizabeth, and Andrew got ready for bed but was looking forward to next year to take their classes. They already like Ms. Jackson and could not wait to meet the other teachers that are going to be teaching them. I wonder who the other teachers are going be? Andrew asks. We have wait and see.…
In my years of high school, I took all honors classes and tried to challenge myself as much as possible. This summer, when I received my schedule, I saw organic chemistry was one of my classes. Many people told me that this class was impossible, so I went into school with my mind set on switching out immediately. Alternatively, I decided to try it out and, to my surprise, I actually…
I have had some good teachers as well as some bad experiences in science classes in the past. Although I don’t remember too much about my science classes when I was in elementary and middle school, I do remember a lot from high school and have had quite a few science classes in college. In middle school I did a lot of reading. It was actually completely all reading assignments.…
Every since i was in elementary these two subjects caught my attention. It wasn’t until middle school that science caught my attention more so i started paying more attention in science class than math class. In 8th grade we built a rocket and mine happened to be one of the ones who flew the highest and stayed i the air the longest. After that experience i really got fascinated by science. When i got to high school it wasn’t until sophomore year that i was put in an honors chemistry class because the teachers had said i deserved to be in a higher placement class.…
