runny, letters proclaiming me to enter. Or maybe it was the blue door, that looked far too new to be attached to this house. It could have been the crumbling brick that made up the entirety of the house, or the crumbling bricks that sat outside the small building. It called to me, pushed me to it’s bidding, begging me to enter. It probably hadn’t been the best idea to enter, in hindsight, I could have made a much better decision. This wasn’t some knock off horror movie and I wasn’t some cliche…

Spring semester of my Junior year I was suspended from Johns Hopkins because I violated student code. There is no excuse or correct explanation, but I hope that this is read with good understanding. My mother is a single mother who was not been able to raise me until I moved to the US for university. Leading up to this time, I lived with my grandmother back home in Trinidad until she passed. Being a first generation university student, there was a lot of pressure on me to do exceptional well…

“What if the teacher doesn’t like me, what if I say something wrong and he thinks I’m stupid, what if…”, I often asked myself these questions coming into 8th grade honors English which had simply struck me in the eye with a compulsion of fear. I often thought that this year would be like all years of English in my life; I struggle to find the motivation I need to write and sustain my grades, which ranged most commonly through a B+ to an A-, but this year/quarter is like no other, it’s my year to…

On a hot September morning, I nervously walk through the colorful red and yellow painted door that stands by a classroom of thirty second grade students. I can taste the salty sweat running through my forehead as I am introduced to my new teacher. A Spanish speaking lady brought me by her soft hand to the class. The teacher said something but to me her way of speaking was an alliteration of vocabulary being slapped in my face, I am standing like a soldier without saying a word. My teacher in her…

work hard if we do not even know what work is? To me, work means an action you do to better yourself or an object. There has to be a motive behind the world to be granted the reward in the end which is success. Anybody that is motivated wants or needs to be successful within their lifetime. Maria Bartiromo, a well known American television journalist and magazine columnist, had once said, "I think that my biggest attribute to any success that I have had is hard work. There really is no…

Things I Carried, or Seasons Greetings Last winter the snow fell a little harder, the air was drier, and the nights were longer. I remember the night it happened. My grandma was feeling sicker than usual, and she knew her days were numbered. Driving to her house on my own, I was so afraid of what to do or what to say because she was my best friend and my biggest idol. She taught me how to braid my own hair, how to knit scarves, and even how to cook my now favorite apple chicken meal. As I…

on this homework assignment of breaking a social norm I thought a lot about what kind of norm I wanted to break. This norm could not end up with someone fighting me or me fighting someone not approving of my decisions. The norm I decided to break was to have an animated conversation with myself in public. The idea came from the idea that sometimes you talk to yourself in your head to figure situations. In my personal experiences I talk to myself outloud but in the privacy of my room. This is…

From when I was still in elementary school learning my alphabets, to middle school where I my first experience with different class periods, to high school where I learned how to adapt to school work along with friends, and to becoming a first year Spartan. These experiences affected my life in a tremendous way, and it caused me to adapt to things I once never wanted to. Sometimes change can be great for a person, but it’s up to the person to let that change happen. Kind of like how I let that…

of transition for me. When I look back, even just to May when I graduated high school, I am astonished by how much has changed. In August, I had to make a decision unlike any I’d ever faced. It was one of those moments you knew would have a major impact on your future. I was sitting in Fort Yargo Park at a picnic table across from my mother, and we were talking about my college plans. I had worked all year to find that right school for me and decide what I wanted to study. Now, I was running…
