2006

September 4th 2013 to June 20th 2017. The days between these dates are filled with memories as struggling to adapt to the rotation schedule, attending sports games with friends, finding the perfect prom dress, and eventually saying goodbye. The last four years of my life are filled with my best and worst days and recollections that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Being surrounded by a multitude of different students and teachers has exposed me to many miscellaneous aspects of life itself…

Heroes that run toward danger and not away from danger are true heroes.In “The charge of the light brigade”by Alfred Lord Tennyson the general forces the men to run into the valley of death it’s like they ran into the mouth of hell.There were cannon’s in every direction they turned.The general is all in the background being all safe and making sure he’s safe but what’s awful is that he sends his men to go battle even though they are out powered by the others. The men in the “The charge of the…

My summer was extremely eventful but I'm only going to tell you about on of the events i did this summer. This summer I went to the Gary air show. The Gary air show is a giant air performance with plains, and people jumping out of plains, and plains writing in the sky. The air show happens every year at the beach in Gary. It happens during July and is open for two day during July. Before for we went to the air show we stopped at subway to get sandwiches to eat at the air show. While we were in…

This essay about is my Pecan Fest experience and what happened all between these 3 days. The whole fair together was adventurous and fun with all my friends. We rode rides together, talked, together, and hanged around. The first day of the fair it started at 6 and there were a lot of teenagers. They kept cutting all the 6th and 7th graders so all the 6th and 7th graders cut them and a war happened. All the 6th graders got snappers and we all threw them at them. Then they started jumping over…

Well, eighth grade is the final year of middle school, meaning that I have to go to high school next year. I'm honestly expecting high school to be a lot harder and frustrating, but hopefully I can power through it. I feel glad that I've gotten this far and that I get to go to high school, and maybe by the end of high school, I can get into college. Middle school was a good experience in my book, but it's really just middle school. My favourite thing during middle school was simply reading…

Freshman year was one of the hardest years i’ve ever gone through. The pressure of anxiety, peer pressure and grieving from a terrible loss created a depressed lifestyle. I endured some situations that many people could never relate to. I wasn’t happy. My grades slipped, I pushed away my friends and I lost myself. These tragedies in my life truly taught me how to become a better person and do things for myself and not other people. Before my freshman year started; my best friend, partner in…

The feeling of losing breath and admitting defeat at the hands of a 12 year old boy is something that changed my life completely. After a year of training BJJ at my HIgh School my coach knew that I would be out of training over the summer so he offered me a scholarship to train at an official school called Bronx Jiu Jitsu, where he sometimes teaches. My first day there training I entered with the mindset of me beating everyone up, and completely one siding them, but I will never forget…

When you have dreams in your life and they become shattered, you have to pick yourself back up and find a new dream to pursue. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I was stoked knowing that I was healthy for once and I would be able to compete at my gymnastics state meet. In my previous years of competing gymnastics, I have had hip, knee, and ankle injuries, making practice and competition difficult. At this specific state gymnastics meet, I was not going to have any pain. It was my moment…

Putting her right foot out, she mounted the log and shut her eyes. Lifting her skirt, leveling her cane fiercely before her like a festival figure in some parade, she began to march across. Then she opened her eyes and she was safe on the other side. 'I wasn't as old as I thought,' she said. But she sat down to rest. She spread her skirts on the bank around her and folded her hands over her knees. Up above her was a tree in a pearly cloud of mistletoe. She did not dare to close her eyes,…
