During class, I imaged myself in the summer and having fun, but before summer, I have to finish my college quarter first. Going through college is stressful for me because this is my first year college, and I don't have the experience at handling it. I have tried to use this technique at home once. I was imagining…
Before this summer, I didn’t know such things as memoirs ever existed. As a bias fiction-lover, I do admit that I was alreading judging this kind of genre by the description. However, what I realized was that how interesting a book is, all depends on the reader and the writer. If a reader is forced to read then the book won’t be as good because the reader has the mental state of unwilling to read the book. This could also happen when the reader wants to read the book but eventually loses…

Also, the director uses a family to create a more relatable experience so the comedy elements appear more comedic. The comedy elements used involve more physical comedy. In this film Clark…
Composition, I felt well prepared due to my venture through AP Language and Composition in Mr. Lunardi’s class. AP Lang greatly improved my writing and analytical skills opposed to the atrocious papers I considered “writing” my freshman and sophomore year. However, after I have almost gone through the whole AP Literature and…
My experience as a writer has changed throughout the years a lot. Someone always read to my sisters and myself when we asked. Even when they did not read to us, I can remember them reading around us, like when we were on vacation. My parents also got us in reading summer programs through the local library. My boyfriend and I have a daughter who is now ten months old, we try to read to her whenever we can. I enjoy reading Dr. Seuss books to her, since he has always been a favorite author of mine.…

Also should is it a fact that even when born in captivity is it still in there nature to be wild. How will animals…
What I did not realize, was that summer classes move along much more swiftly than the regular semester. Additionally, I did not anticipate the amount of required reading and paper writing needed for each class. I had been out of school for nearly 25+ years, and I did not know how to use MS-Office correctly when writing a paper, thus I was off to a rough start. Therefore, if one is planning to return to school, meeting with…
Lets begin Summer of 2004 I am starting my first ever job as a C.I.T. councilor in training, at a day camp that I have grown up going to and now I get to become a councilor.

I am really excited to be with a lot of the councilors I had when I was a in camp. Also I would be working along side a lot of my friends I grew up with who…
The drug dealers, police officers, politicians, etc. are perpetuating the drug system. From what the film describes, most drug dealers do not realize any other options are available. The kids in these neighborhoods look up to the drug dealers. When you live in an area where there are no doctors, lawyers or anyone who is wealthy from a legal career, you have no aspiration to become wealthy the right way. Most of the people who live in these neighborhoods do not make a lot of money from their…
Freedom Summer, just a mere 10 weeks of the summer of 1964, changed the world, just by changing Mississippi. Reconstruction ended and blacks were no longer slaves, but they continued to be oppressed. Mississippi was the state that kept blacks as slaves without the title. Mississippi had the lowest crime rate, supposedly, but most likely had the most murders of blacks in cold blood. The Mississippi Summer Project dived head first into the volatile violence, subjecting their volunteers to a unique…
