I confess to being human, and how I come out of it is making sure I do something for someone else. Preferably for someone who can’t repay me, and it’s a gift. You guys have unfailing have been kind to me threw the years. I mean very honestly its so easy for me to give and you guys give it back more times over. I come away richer and more fulfilled because of my association with you all. “They ask me why I teach. Where else can I find such splined company” a quote by my hero John Wooden and this is how I feel about you guy. That has been the time I walked into a class room in May of 2001 at Cypress College to the present. I’ve always felt that when I walk into a class room that there this special bond between us. As a general rule, there are exception but you guys give as much as I do. That’s why the first day of the semester is just glorious. It is the most perfect day of the semester, I get to meet all these new friends. My worst day of the semester is finals, because I have to say good

    First of all, I would like to state that I am honored to be given the opportunity to become a member of National Honor Society. Receiving the letter letting me know that I am eligible to apply has been my goal ever since I entered high school. NHS does such an amazing job at helping the community, and that is all I have ever wanted to do - help others. Generally speaking, I am more of a behind-the-scenes person. However, taking charge, when necessary, is something I enjoy doing.…

    His eyes brushed down a list of names quickly and came to a sudden halt. With a glance toward me, he called me to the front of the room to present my work from the day before. And then it wasn't just him and me, it was him and me and every other sharp-faced person in the room. They were experienced "AP students," the best of the best, I was a mere peasant in their presence. Reluctantly, I made my way to the front of the room and with an unsure hand slid my work under the projector screen.…

    In the Spring of last year, it was my Junior year, one of the most critical years in high school. It’s the year that colleges look at the most, also it was the year that I was in some of the most challenging classes. Mostly honors, a lot of homework, and tests to go along with it. Studying would take me until late at night, and even on weekends, all day long. When it’s the end of the term everyone checks their grades for their report cards, and progress reports.…

    The keys rattled, resonating a jingle of my apprehension. With shaking fingers, I desperately connected the cold, metal key to the lock on the mailbox and opened it eagerly. The letter that I had been fervently waiting for sat in the middle of a lofty pile glaring at me. With a deep and unsteady breath, I tore it open. My excitement vanished abruptly and was replaced with distress.…

    Seven years ago, I left my country to live with a host family and study in the States. It was not easy for a 16-year-old girl to learn a second language and adjust herself into a different culture and environment. I pushed myself to try harder, as a result, I was granted a place in National Honor Society from my outstanding academic performance. Looking back, I have learned much more than I thought. Not only that I have overcome the hardship, but I also had a chance to share Thai culture to my American friends and family.…

After visiting the classroom a handful of times, I absolutely fell in love.…

    Joining a militia was one of the top things I never thought I’d do, and becoming Special Forces in that militia never made the list. Just when I thought I’d finally fallen asleep. The blazing light that fought to turn the milky white of my eyes to a black crispy crime. I raised my tingling hand that throbbed and as I gripped that white string and let my hand fall I returned to the cool dark. As I thought I had finally restored peace to the land a howling echo rang throughout the kingdom, and only then did I realize it was time to raise my aching body from its eternal slumber.…

It is my longing to believe in my students and encourage them to be the best they can be each day!…
