Spring Break Essay

I felt like everything became routine, there was nothing to be excited about. I’d get up, go to school, go home, and go to bed. There were some good days, such as football game Friday’s, homecoming, Christmas break, and unexpected school closings. But in general, I felt like a caged animal; stuck in a small space and not being able to be happy and free. I relied on sneaking out and making bad choices to be my dosage of freedom, but it was never truly fun. In…

I feel. This is partially because we were not thought the grim details of the oppression of black people and people never really address how the racism of the past has transitioned into the present. I actually got to meet Benjamin Campbell over spring break and he talked a little bit about what was in his book Richmond’s Unhealed History.

Hi Mr. Gural, I am not sure what the source of the break down in communications has been between the IB Program and Jonathan’s parents.

8th Grade Basketball It was a very hot day. The blacktop was scorched with heat as my feet started to burn because it was so hot. Ms. Sandoval wanted me and another person to pick the last two names out of the hat. He was on the team too. My hands were shaking, trembling with fear and anxiety.

I have desire to learn the Japanese tea ceremony culture because I want to know the difference between Japanese SADOU and Taiwanese CHAYI (arts of tea). When I was child, I had learned some basic…
