themselves as I would have to walk to a different classroom to my ESOL class. ESOL was an English practicing class, it allowed for students that knew very few English and was a method for us to learn and practice our English. Towards the end of the class as we all headed back from recess, or in my case from ESOL I would have a short time to speak and talk to my friends, and they would always ask about my whereabouts. I would try to explain to them exactly where I was and what I would be doing,…

When I first started creating my essay, I didn't really focused on creating my ethos within the paper. I think with, Chicago, being such a broad topic and then also with me trying to ask myself a question, I was having a hard time trying to bring out an ethos within this essay.

At the time, I was talking to a girl that I really liked and I had a lot of very close friends. I wasn’t the type of kid to go out and do things with people. During the…

I am betting it was one of the first two, and doubt it was a look of total confusion because of the popularity of the movie ever since its release in 1943. Many people who were a part of its production believed it would be a flop; however, they couldn’t have been more wrong. Both the movie and the actors involved won a variety of awards including Best Screenplay, Best Director,…

I believe in giving up your passion I believe in giving up your passion. From a young age it was drilled into my head that I had to find a sport, activity, or hobby to be above average at. Sadly throughout my childhood I was nowhere near above average at things. Trust me when I say tried everything. From cross country to the french horn. You name the sport or activity I tried it. It wasn 't that I didn 't give it my all or anything, it 's just that I didn 't excel. All my friends had that thing…

I am currently a senior at the University of Maryland studying engineering and physics and I feel that before I move onto graduate school or move into the work force I would like to have the experience that is AmeriCorps. I want to have the experience for a couple of reasons, some more selfish than others. For one I do feel that I have been very blessed in my life.

feels when my world gets rocked with the news that I have HPV. A young girl who has very little experience with being sexually active, and somehow I have a sexually transmitted infection. How could it be me? I have always stereotyped people with STI’s to be from poverty stricken parts of the world or to have many partners that they are sexually active with; however, that is not me. I am torn because of the constant battle going on in my head. I feel hopeful because HPV can be treated, but is…

has also made me realize how I have to overcome my own weaknesses to make my dreams a reality. My very first great influential encounter was with my piano teacher, Janette. She was my very first piano teacher for as long as I could remember until she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Despite her struggles, she was the first person to ever inspire me to set a goal for myself.
