Waking up extra earlier in the morning for school was an extremely painful thing to do when flashback in high school. I live in Illinois western suburb of Chicago; I spent my four years education in Lake Park high school that located in Roselle. Overall, I had an amazing experience with this public school but except “early class schedule”. Here is my experiences about U.S. high school: groggy and grumpy students falling asleep during class, student perform poorly in school academic achievement;…

If the face of all humanity was in danger would you stay to help or would you flee at the sight? Kira Walker decides to take this role upon herself and help save humanity. The average lifespan of a child during this time was fifty-six hours. This pained Kira more than anything being a medic at the time. They couldn’t even let the parents get attached to their child because they knew that within a couple hours that child would no longer be alive. Through these conflicts we can see an advancement…

Have you ever experienced a day that you will always remember? Well, I have plenty of days that I will always remember, but there is this one special day that I want to share with you . One hot summer day in Mississippi, my younger sister and I were sitting outside complaining to our mom about how hot it was and how we wanted to go swimming. My mom didn’t know where she could bring us to have fun because we were the new family in town and not a lot of people lived in our neighborhood. Well,…

In 1990, eleven-year-old Brooke Ellison got severely injured by a skidding car. She was informed by the doctors that she was permanently paralyzed from the neck and down.

Despite all of her constant battles and the multiple doctor visits, Brooke, along with her supportive mother, Jean Ellison, fought and strived to earn a prestigious degree from Harvard University. Brooke was the first quadriplegic to achieve such…

The first character trait that I can relate to is the ability to assume responsibility for assignment and attendance. I always make sure to get my homework done and turned in on time. Turning in homework is very important to me and I always use some of my free time to work on it to make sure it is done and handed in when it is supposed to be. I also help my friends and others who need help with their homework so they can get it turned in on time as well. I try to help them so that they…

The first time I broke a bone I was seven years old. I was out back riding behind my house on a little KTM 50. I can still hear the sound of it, similar to a high pitched scream when you whacked the throttle. As I went rounding a wet, sticky corner that day, my bikes rear tire slipped out. Before I had time to react, I was completely sideways. Next thing I knew, I was flying through the air awaiting impact. Finally, after what felt like seconds in the air, I came to a brutal landing on my right…

It was like any other morning, she was still asleep in her bed in the nobles castle that stood quietly within the deep forest, next minute she was sleeping the other she got hit with a pillow full of feathers that flew all over the bedroom. She awoke in a meager angry mood after getting hit with a pillow, then being forced to stand up front waiting for a group of people that were meant to appear that day, she waited for hours nearly dark and no one showed. The next thing she did was to decide…

A memorable day in my life is the day I came to Job Corps. I will never forget that day. I was up 6:00 in the morning. I took a shower then got dressed. My clothes was already packed , so all I had to do was tell everybody I love them and get on the road. I live in Brooklyn, so it took me about 45 min to get to Manhattan to get to greyhound , so I could be on my way to Glenmont Job Corps. I left the city around 9:00am and got to Glenmont around 12:45pm. When I arrived on the center of…

It was like any other school day, coming back from lunch, sitting in class, and talking to friends; however, it all changed once I arrived in my American Studies class. Mrs. Forbs was standing in front of the class waiting for everyone to quiet down. The class was a bunch of sixth graders, so it took a while to make us be silent. The day felt weird for me, I had my same robotic schedule but for some reason something didn’t feel right. I thought it had something to do with the food I ate for…

One of the biggest struggles I had to overcome at work was myself and my Anxiety. Walking into this unknown environment terrified me greatly. One week into my job working for customer service, with very little training, I was asked, "do you even know what's going on?" I then responded "no," and was immediately fired and sent to work with someone else to file hazardous materials. I wanted to surpass the expectations I believed people had of me to the point where I was willing to take the work…
