My Favorite Meal of the Year For thousands of families around the world, Christmas is one of the most special holidays of the year. For some it is a religious holiday to celebrate the coming of Christ and for others it is a special day to celebrate life, family, friends and their company. For me personally; my favorite part of Christmas is the food. Being able to feast on some of the most delicious dishes that my family and friends so gratefully bring to the table so we can all celebrate not only
the exercises I have exponentially exceled in all of those areas, and I am extremely satisfied. The paragraphs were assignments that were completed through out the semester. They discussed random topics varying from super hero powers, to what my favorite food is. I needed to establish a clear purpose of what I was writing, and that was something that was not easy for me. I had to learn how to develop a thesis, and I never knew I would be able to do that because how can you get an idea about an entire
Dogs are my favorite animal. In fact, I have two, Lola and Barry. They’re both Golden Retrievers, Barry (the boy) is bigger than Lola (the girl). They were both born in the same litter about an hour from where we live. Since they’ve grow up together, they get along well and are both well trained. About a week ago, Lola got out the front door while we were bringing in groceries to the house. She ran down the street and got away and we were unable to find her. We searched around the area till it
“This was my mother’s favorite thing we owned. My father bought it a year or two before we died. She only played one record, I don’t know who it was, and she loved his music. She would sit down after she put us to bed. Sometimes I would hear her crying, other times she was laughing, or even other times she would be talking as if he was still here with us. If we find her, we have to give this to her!” I said The little girl had so much faith in me to find her mother, and I had very little, but I had
McDonald’s, My Favorite Restaurant McDonald’s is a fast food restaurant chain and “has over 32,000 locations in more than 100 countries around the globe” (McDonald’s website). It is one of most popular fast food restaurants in the world, and preferred by a lot of people. The restaurants are very modern and cozy and always have a place for children to play in. It is also known for their Happy Meals, which contains a hamburger, french fries and the always desired toy. McDonald’s is my favorite fast food
From watching old videos and listening to my mother’s stories, I realized education would always be a big part of my life. Being a young one, I was always eager to learn, but I was also eager to teach. I would set up all my stuffed animals in little chairs and pretend I am teaching my own class. Let’s say I called it “The School of Animals”. I would make up my own lesson plans, pretend to take attendance, and actually teach the animals. My mother did not enjoy me writing on the mirrors, imagining
paper about my bike. That 's why it took me multiple copies and revisions to get the essay as perfect as I can get it. In the end it wasn 't as perfect as I thought it would be but I still got a better grade than I imagined on it. What I most remember from writing my paper are finding my favorite parts, incorporating Stephen king, and using many editing techniques. My favorite part of my memoir was finding the quotes for the paper. I believe that they helped state what I wanted my paper to be
of potential. My personality could be shaped by anything, bits and pieces of who I am today were things I picked up in my past. I could tell you my life story, but I couldn’t exactly pick out how I came to be this way. To tell you about parts of my identity, I can tell you about how I discovered some of my taste in music and about how very eventful my teenager life is. Part of my identity is made up of music. I have a very expansive taste in music. If you were to hit shuffle on my playlist you’d
In my family it is almost required that we have a love for reading and learning, this trait definitely didn’t skip over me. As soon as I learned how to read it became enjoyable and it’s what I wanted to do. In elementary school we would all have to take a test that assessed our “reading ability”, and every time my results were that I was at a “high school or above reading level” so from there I read chapter book after chapter book. Here is where one of my favorite teachers comes in, she was my third
English was my favorite class. I realized five years later that I might have made a huge mistake by pursuing English just because “it was my favorite class in high school.” I realized I didn’t make a mistake because I’m extremely happy with where I am now because I chose to pursue my passion. I recognized English was my favorite class during my first AP class. This wasn’t because I was smug for being in an upper division class. Rather, it was my teacher that encouraged me to embrace my strong personality
Decatur, IL. My mom signed me up to play baseball at the time I wasn’t really happy with her, I didn’t want to play a sport I didn’t know anything about. At the time I just wanted to play basketball and football two sports you could say I knew everything about. I studied the games I watched my favorite players play every day. I was like a sports reporter I knew everything there was to know about my favorite players. Kobe Bean Bryant my favorite basketball player. Randy Moss my favorite football player
Growing up, I watched a lot of sports. Baseball was my favorite. My family and I cheered for the Atlanta Braves through the good and bad times. Some of my favorite memories are of going to baseball games with my family. I clearly remember the day my favorite player went down due to an ACL injury. In 2010, Chipper Jones made a spectacular throw from third, a boom-boom play at first. Chipper got the out for the Braves. I remember my excitement fading as Chipper immediately went to the ground. I remember
you my favorite period of life. My favorite period of life was when I was around the age from ten too twelve being a pre-teen advancing in life. Through these ages I finally felt as if I were getting older because when you are young nothing is better than growing up. I felt if life was finally gaining a voice and obtaining respect. I opinion and thoughts finally became relevant to conversation in the household. Being a kid was not fun when everyone just tells you to be quiet, that is why my favorite
Vanessa Phillips Mr. Quintero English III August 15, 2012 Period 6 My Favorite Place My favorite place would have to be Orlando, Florida. Mostly because Walt Disney World and Universal Studio’s Island of Adventure is located there. I love the Harry Potter land in Island of Adventure. I went with Chaffey’s band. They do a big trip every four years and small trips every year. When we went it was during spring break and I brought back many great memories from Orlando. I will share from
them, they thought I was important and special. My favorite experience in Tanzania was visiting a school named Lutangilo Secondary School. The school was on the top of a mountain so it was magnificent, but we were stuck in a tiny car for over four hours and it was an atrocious road. It was bumpy, twisty, and hilly. Driving on the road was almost like a roller coaster except it was worse. It was also steamy and humid in the car. Because of this, my sister got incredibly car sick. I knew that it was
I am an overthinker. Problems linger in my head and I repeat it over and over asking myself if I could’ve done something differently. I keep thinking and thinking. As a kid, I was always fascinated by science. My favorites were the study of Psychology and Forensics. Science was about finding out the mysteries of the world, and maybe that’s why I loved Science, because I loved mysteries as well. The suspense, the critical thinking, the thrill, all fun and games to me, but the best part of it all
child, I loved my mom more than anything. She was always wonderful with me. She always went out of her way to show me how much she loved and cared about me, even if it meant getting into a fight with my dad. My favorite place she would take me was to the drive-in movie theatre. She would always buy me my favorite snack, a pickle, and made me feel like I was on top of the world. My mom would walk in the room and I would be the happiest kid in the world. I was securely attached to my mom(Berger.
As you have read my all time favorite lullaby, let me explain to you the significance about this meaningful lullaby. To start off, my grandma Kidd was my all time favorite she was there for me whenever i needed her. I remember as a kid my parents would take us kids on a weekend trip to my grandma and grandpa Kidd’s house. We lived in Piper City which is towards Champaign area. My grandparents were living in Peoria, so we had a decent drive to see them. Sometimes one of us four girls would get lucky
for the first time. I love all the four seasons composing a year, but my favorite one, with no doubt in mind, is fall. The reason why fall is my favorite season is because all the color diversity in the environment plus the perfect weather accompanying this amazing time of the year. I was eight years old when I first traveled to the United States. It was on the winter of the 2000. My parents decided to come on winter, so that my sisters and I could have the opportunity to see the snow. The moment
Reading writing are my favorite things to do. To me, a good book is more fun than a night of partying. From "Hal and Me", once could also be said of Nicholas Carr, Scott Karp, Bruce Friedman, and many other bloggers. The difference is, technology hasn 't taken away my ability or my drive to read. The same can 't be said about the former mentioned party. I grew up with technology, and I use it as much as the next person, but I don 't believe it would ever diminish the time I spend with my face buried in
Little Falls, Minnesota. My job consisted of mowing and trimming our customers’ lawn, as well as blowing off their sidewalk and driveway after. While working, I learned how to deal with various types of people with different attitudes toward their lawn. Some have a good attitude, while others do not, making my job easier at times and harder during others. There are four different types of lawn owners: Nice Old Ladies, Rich Snobs, Tightwads, and Know-it-alls. My favorite type of lawn owners are the
My three favorite texts in semester one The three most interesting texts that I have read in Mr. Mcgee’s Class Wow! the first semester just flew by. I can still remember walking into the doors of the high school, and realizing it would be the last first day of high school. I also remember walking into my English class, and realizing that I would never graduate. A few short months have past, and I have excelled in all of my classes. The one class that I have done amazing in would be english
use in years to come. A time that I was so careless in school, getting by with straight A’s my eighth grade year, was corrupted by going into my freshman year, Geometry class. Our eighth grade year was still young. This was the good times when our grades didn’t count and I personally, didn’t care if my grades did count or not. My favorite time of the day was Algebra one. Now, I know that many of my classmates hated Algebra one and dreaded for the time to come, but for me I enjoyed every part
Fiction I has been one of my favorite classes that I have taken at ARGS, so far. Though the countless writer’s block filled nights spent wanting to jump through a window and the excessive amount of money I have spent on tea/coffee this year, I would still do it over and over again, every time. I valued getting able to focus on my weaknesses as a writer in this cass. I also valued all the time we had discussing writing, books, and current events. Most of my favorite conversations from this year have
chair and tapped my fingers on the table as I stared at the clock. Tick tock tick tock. I gave up staring at it and started to pace around the living room. We’re never going to make it, I thought We’re going to be all the way in the back. Today was the day, the day I would finally see my favorite band (well at that time it was) The Wanted. “Ma, what if we the line is too long?”, I asked. “Julie will get here she is almost out of work”, my mother replied in spanish. Earlier this month my cousin, Julie
at so far I have five restaurants that I would consider my favorite places to go. First we have lee’s famous recipe chicken which is a chicken chain in southern state. Next is Spangles which is a Wichita based burger restaurant. The next burger restaurant is Burger Street which is only located in Tulsa and Dallas. Lastly is Subs and Heroes a family owned business in Tulsa that specializes in subs. I will have four criteria that determine my ranking of the five restaurants which are Quality, service
I’ve been a traveling nurse since my late twenties. My travels to many different countries opened my eyes to the beauty of each land. My favorite place was Venice, Italy. The scenery and the joy of the people made me feel like I was family. When me and my husband retired, I was about sixty five, we decided to pack up and spend the rest of our days in Venice. At first it was marvelous, nothing could stop us. After a couple of years, my husband started to notice that I was forgetting to do certain
or maybe even the television. Life in the Philippines was different, and I wanted to find out more about my grandmother, Paulita, and her past. She was born on May 19, 1946 in Pampanga, Philippines. Her only job as a child was to do her chores and help her mom at a family-owned restaurant. After she graduated high school, she got married and had four children, one of them is my mother. She’s a Catholic and goes to church every Sunday. I remember when I used to go with her to mass every
Many people have their favorite place in the world. Whether it makes them feel safe or the fact that they grew up there. You just got to figure out that one place that you call your favorite place. Then tell exactly why you call it your favorite place, but you can just say it is cause it is you got to explain why it is for instance this is my favorite place, because the lake is where we all hang out at all through high school. My favorite place is Galveston, Texas, because we spent a lot of time
change for a guy or for your friends. Because i know that you 're wonderful just the way you are. One of my favorite memory of us is when we would run during drills and I would hit your ass or vice versa. The reason why it 's one of my favorite memory is because it shows the type of friendship we have which is a very open and touchy friendship, and I 'm glad it 's like that. I don 't hug all of my friends because I usually don 't like hugging but with you it 's different and I don 't mind hugging you
I Complain My favorite part of the day is when I walk into my band class. Immediately, I can hear the loud sounds of a boisterous saxophone playing their part or the lilting sounds of a flute practicing their solo. These sounds fill me with happiness and they help to lift my mood. I love being in band. I have been a part of band for six years now and I love it even more every year. I enjoy the exhilaration of the performance, or joking around with my clarinet section. I am delighted that I originally
“I am happy to say that for a long time now, and to this day, Monday is my favorite day of the week.” Dr. Francois Le Roy is what everyone aspires to be, happy. Most people can go their whole lives without finding what Dr. Le Roy has. “I like going back to work, because I like what I do.” He inspires those around him when he speaks about what he does. “It’s what I wish on everybody, and I’m hoping that is why people are in college.” He loves what he does, and it is hard for him to imagine doing anything
School is where I have always tried my hardest, and that is something I never want to stop. As I begin my journey in college, I think that it is important to look back on my previous years of schooling, in order to reminisce, and possibly learn more about myself. When I think about my favorite teachers, three individuals come to mind. The first person is Mrs.Alexander. The reason that Mrs.Alexander was my favorite teacher is because she was like a third mother (after my biological mother, and step mother)
I chose this poem originally because Autumn is my favorite time of year, but as I read I am struck by how Keats captures the tangibility of the season and can 't help but wonder if it isn 't his favorite time of year also. Keats seems to have created a human persona for the term by using phrases like 'bosom-friend "and "hair soft lifted...". While perusing each stanza, I have the feeling that I am walking through Autumn. It 's as if the language Keats uses is drawing me onward in a journey through
Since elementary school, my favorite teachers have always been social science teachers. I have always loved my United States History teachers because they actually cared about whether the students in their classes learned. I also really loved my AP Psychology teacher because it was a class I was really interested in and she taught the material very well. I think my favorite teachers have been teachers that are not only interested in the subject they are teaching, but that care about students education
To be or not to be. It is a wonderful evening and you are enjoying your favorite program on TV, a commercial comes up talking about the latest product on the market to help with weight loss. You think to yourself, “hmm, I think I am a bit chunky”. The commercial ends and before the program resumes, you rush to the kitchen to get a snack. You continue watching the show and before long another commercial break, a good deal a gym is offering and you remember you were a member of the gym and decide to
PICK Reflection Paper Darci Deakin Utah State University PICK Reflection Paper My favorite portion of curriculum The curriculum for how to avoid falling for a jerk was very interesting. I think it was a great program that we got to participate in during class. There were a lot of things that I really enjoyed about these classes. The first part I really enjoyed was the R.A.M. (Relationship Attachment Model). It was fun having our own models to follow along with the presentation
grateful. My favorite teacher of all time was forced into retirement a couple years ago, Lyn Storey at Sandia High School. Many students complained about Storey because of her tough and somewhat unorthodox ways of teaching. I was lucky enough to learn two years of English, as well as literary and life skills from her. When I first had Storey my sophomore year of high school I hated her. I was even one of those kids who got a red F on a paper and ran to my parents with complaints. Both of my parents
relaxing Saturday afternoon. As all of us sit together, side by side, we sit on the beach watching the sun go down. We are enjoying the fun. As my family watches the bright sky, we enjoy our family time together, and we were loving the family bonding us had. The bonding we has made our family to communicate more with each other. I respect my mother, my favorite mother. She enjoy going places with her . She is an independant woman who takes long steps, as if she were Learning something new. At any time
have always tried my hardest, and that is something I never want to stop. As I begin my journey in college, I think that it is important to look back on my previous years of schooling, in order to reminisce, and possibly learn more about myself. When I think about my favorite teachers, three individuals come to mind. The first person that I thought of was both my fourth and sixth grade teacher. Janet Alexander, better known as Mrs.Alexander is number one on the list of favorite teachers. The reason
similar to the way my family makes my favorite meal. What we choose to eat and the foods our families prepare define us as a person, allowing others to get a glimpse of our personality and culture. A particular dish that helps define me and holds a deep meaning in my heart are pierogi. Coming from a strong Polish background, pierogi have been something my family has made for years. Traditionally this dish is prepared on special occasions such as Christmas and Easter, but my family loves to make
My great grandparents had a very close relationship. They were married for 60 years and had a wonderful life together. They just seemed to fit together. You could say my Gran was tiny and my Grandad wasn’t very tall either. However, that’s what made them just look like an even more perfect couple when they were together. My Grandad was forever asking my dad to put a bet at the bookies for him, as he loved having a gamble. They were also both very active and my Gran never stopped cleaning, she was
they have forgotten the importance of February. Not only does this month remember influential leaders, yet is also shows that those who assisted in making a difference in America were not all of the European descent. In my essay I want to bring the spotlight back to one of my favorite activists, Maya Angelou: a poet, author, performer, screenwriter, a strong, independent black woman who not only was intelligent and confident but also the voice and the mind of the captive ones. They say not all heroes
Who is Your Favorite Character and Why? October 7, 2010 My favorite character from the novel These Boots Are Made for Stalking by Lisi Harrison is Massie Block. Massie is a fun, fashionable, and sometimes feisty friend. But at the end of the day she is always having fun whether with bean her lovable dog, Kendra and William, her parents, and The Pretty Committee, her infamous group of friends that include Claire, her guest house roommate, Alicia, Massie’s Fannish(fake Spanish.) BFF, Dylan, a
(Matthew 5:43-45 NIV) With Christmas hurdling at us (only two weeks until Advent!) I findmy mind going back to some of my favorite Christmas presents as a child. Often they were the ones I didn 't expect, even more so than the ones I had long wished for and anticipated. This was certainly true for the Chemsitry set I received when I was 8 or 9. To this day I 'm not sure what my parents were thinking. I suppose it was because the chemicals in the set weren 't dangerous. Not that this stopped me
English Class in College Does anyone like all classes in the college? In college, Students have different favorite of classes, and some students don’t have favorite of classes. I can answer that English class is my favorite class, which I am taking. I like this class because it helps learn more about grammars, how to write a well essay, and the teacher is nice. I have a lot of challenges in my English class. This class is preparing writing for college, so it requires me to know and use grammar correctly
Ed Sheeran is a twenty-four year old British singer and song writer. In recent years his songs have grown in popularity and have even been nominated for Grammy Awards. Sheeran writes and preforms a large mix of genres ranging from rap to acoustic performances. My favorite song is “Thinking out Loud” by Ed Sheeran. It is a musically complex and well written romantic ballad from the album X (Pronounced “Multiply”). The chorus builds up to seven words which are then repeated several times at the conclusion
your favorite foods on your plate. In this paper, I will be getting a better understanding of where my favorite food come1from and how in fact the food we eat can connects us and the world around us. Furthermore, I would first state that my favorite meal is a grilled cheese. The reason why I picked a grilled cheese is because whenever I was younger and got home from school, my mother would be grilling a gooey, cheesy snack for my siblings and me. This meal is one of my absolutes favorites. When
The doorbell rings, it 's him waiting to pick me up. My mom answers the door; he looks at him and says, "Hello, I am here to pick up your beautiful girl." My mother smiled at him, and called me downstairs, I know what it sounds like, though we were only going out to his house, I couldn 't help but feel something was up. Ethan 's Grandparents weren 't home, and I had asked him about that too, "Why aren 't they home?" "I got them to leave for the day, so we could have some alone
Christmas in Toronto was my favorite time of the year. The night sky was always illuminated by lit windows of skyscraper offices and the blindingly bright lights of hotel signs, but during the holidays the festive displays are unmatched. Bright red poinsettias cover every inch of the Centennial Park Conservatory, the bridges of the Waterfront, lined with thousands of kaleidoscopic LED lights, and of course the radiance of the Christmas Tree in Nathan Phillips Square, producing a city of colored spectacle
