Perplexing Coding This picture symbolizes my AP Computer Science class because in this class, I had to come up with different types of codes, like the one shown, to write and format. I chose this image because once I entered this class I knew that coding was exactly what it appeared to be. Complicated. Most of my class was filled with seniors so the first few months I struggled to learn the material that they already knew. When Mr. Ellich asked questions like what does “string” mean in coding,…

Her eyes were beautiful shades of mahogany, yet when she opened her mouth I saw the reason everyone wanted her soul so badly, “Why me, I have such a fabulous life, and I can 't give that up she said,” Hopefully she can change her venomous greed and envy with my help, because if not LLEH World will hold her soul. I remember seeing her once in my past too, on my travels through the northern cities of massachusetts before I died and became the reaper, she was six at the time galloping through…

June 18, 2015. It was a breezy Saturday afternoon and everything seemed normal. I looked out my window on the fifth story of our hotel. I saw the birds flying in the air. My family and I were on vacation in Miami, Florida. It was such an amazing resort! All of the sightseeing we had done was incredible, and we even went snorkeling a couple of days ago! Seeing all of the fish and other aquatic life was so amazing. “Jessica, we are going to be late!” my mom yelled. It took me by surprise and…

I could name a hundred and one mentors I’ve encountered and been influenced by, but many of them would only have a smidgen of effect on who I am now. Unsurprisingly, the most influential mentor I’ve encountered is you. There are certain things in our upbringing that influences us in a very complete way and I believe the type of parents we grow up with are one of the most impactful things. Different types of parents produce different types of people in the world and I fully believe had I had a…

Everybody makes mistakes and gains different experiences from those mistakes. However, some of these experiences that people have had teach others and influence them in many ways. We all have “heroes” or people that we look up to. It may be one of the local firefighters or police officers. These people have influenced you and inspired you to be the person that you are right now. Many have influenced me in my life. One of the people that has influenced me is my father. The person that influenced…

Dinner had been a million years long. After getting home and getting out of the car, I felt so worn out that sickness was inevitable. Keeping my eyelids open was going to be a challenge, especially seeing that Ana was now invited over and she would be a bundle of energy until the latest possible time. Yawning, I opened the door. I almost didn 't want Ana over so I could catch up on resting... for the first time in a week. "Flower, do you think that you are too tired for tonight?" asked my…

A hero is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Most if not every person has their own hero, whether it be a celebrity, a family member, or some random person who you admire. My hero is someone who means the world to me and that is my mom. My mom is my hero, my idol, my model figure, my everything. I define my mom as a hero because she has provided me with guidance, motherly love, and has always been there for me. She has also supported…

“The truth is that I do not know how to will the table to move, I do not know what I am supposed to be doing. For I can only will what I have to learned to do. If I can now move my arms at will, that is because I have learned to do so early in my childhood. However we learn the influence of our will from experience alone. And experience only teaches us how one event constantly follows another.” (Stops reading) That was from Ilham Dilman’s Love and Human separateness. A truly wonderful book if…

Wind bustled through the branches of the trees, making the leaves howl in their symphony. Walking along the gravel path in the woods makes you realize how intricate the clash between weather and nature can be. Two natural forces both in harmony and constantly fighting. The rain was going to come down any second; it’s distinct smell was filling the air. Plush, intertwining clouds pushed their grey front towards where I stood. The trees continued their protest against the wind as it blew their…

I remember each of them as if they were yesterday, the polar plunge Jack, Flynn, and I did barely a week after I made the list. Being the first week of March in the Midwest we froze our assess off. I immediately regretted showing Jack my list at that point. He saw polar plunge and immediately signed us up for the senior plunge. I swear, who ever thought jumping into a lake in freezing temperatures was absolutely positively insane, and the fact that we have kept this tradition for so many years…
