My First Horse Show!! I could not hold my excitement in much longer. I knew I could not just start jumping up and down, so I continued washing my horse with a huge smile on my face.I could not stop thinking about how much fun my first horse show was going to be. After my mom and I finished washing my horse we went and cleaned out the horse trailer. I never knew how much work this was going to be, but I enjoyed cleaning out the trailer because I felt like I was being helpful. My alarm clock…

Self-Identity Essay I gaze out upon the morning dew settling on the freshly cut grass. As the sun rises over the mountain, I breath deeply and stroll in front of my friends begining the day. My arms hanging loosely in front of me while I grip my club of choice. Fear races through my mind whispering worst possible scenarios, but gets shoved out by a painting of the balls trueflight. Letting go of control, my body twists and makes contact. A stinging feeling spreads to all parts of my body as the…

I am originally from Santa Ana and I have had bad behavior problems. I’ve always been a troublemaker during my life; no one could stop me. My parents tried to change the habit of changing my life around ,and act the proper way of acting. Peers try to fix my problems, but I would not make the good choice.

Running to me is not something I do but something I am. My teammates are like family; my coaches are friends, and the sport is my life. Running is my safe haven from all the noise in life, but with it, there will always be losing, injury and failure. To run you have to do more than love it, you have to conquer it. It just so happened that my second year of track I experienced more than I knew about myself, with the help of injury. As soon as, the sun was lifting over my hill, I was up and…

Tap tap tap. Click. Tap tap. Click. I was quick. I was focused. I was in the zone. And then…(gasp) I stopped. As I perused through the questions on the Common App about education, testing, and family, I came across a question that stood out to me: Are you the first person in your family to attend college? I am quick with filling out applications, so I was answering each one in a matter of 10 seconds. However, this particular question made me stop. I hesitated for a bit and began to…

Dialectical Journal 1 “She should just forget her. Who knows where she is? Who knows what they’ve done to her?” (Zusak. 96) This quote in the book particularly stood out to me because it raised some mixed emotions within me as well as some more questions. Firstly, it makes me feel sympathetic towards Liesel because a girl her age should not have to go through losing her mother and then overhearing her foster parents saying that “she should just forget her” (Zusak. 96). Before reading this…

Making this move had a significant impact on my childhood due to the fact that I was taken from the town I had spent the first nine years of my life, I had to leave my friends and family behind, and I was faced with having to adjust to a…

It Was Worth it. I Hope. I really should not have said anything. I mean, my parents raised me with strong morals, I had to talk. I should have just kept my mouth shut. But I can’t just let people, no matter who they are get wrongfully arrested. It is not right. I know I am going to be hated in my new town. How is someone suppose to choose between what is right and what everyone in town want’s to be right. I was the new kid in town, and I was not used to the small town atmosphere. I had lived all…
