them every morning and going to bed with them every night. Having a best friend for the rest of your life. Having someone to share life’s trivial day to day happenings, both good and bad. Knowing that there is someone that loves you, unconditionally. Having someone to laugh with and cry with. Marriage is (next to motherhood) the best job in the world. It is a commitment you make to the love of your life and…
My life has been driven by different values, but my main three are: perseverance, perfection, and happiness. These values have helped me through many up and downs throughout my life. Being perseverant for me, it means being present and having participation on any event or social gathering. If that fails or I get rejected then trying again and again until that goal is fulfill or replaced by other goal. Having a decent amount of perfectionism drives me even closer to achieving my goals. Why? Being…

is nothing more disorienting in a child’s life than moving. I moved twice in my life, three times if you count going away to boarding school. Moving made me disoriented, but the people that I met kept me going. I first moved when I was seven. It was not a big move. I only moved one hour away from my old house. The major factor was the fact that all the child hood friends that I had made, Jake, Jack, and Marlin, were all gone. I had to start a new life. I was young at the time and lacked a…
Cope with Slavery 2015-10-20 Caleb Kim US History Slaves and slavery, these two words give me a huge pain in my heart. Today, I believe that we all live in an equal society where skin color, different sex, and other are all equal. However, long ago at about 1720s it was different. Approximately 93% of the African American was used as slaves for the white men. Also the free black men at the time were kidnapped and sold as slaves. No one cared about the black’s situation because they had such an…
My proudest accomplishment, my weight-loss journey, began on January 7, 2013. The day started off like any other, but something different happened that evening. Instead of going back to my apartment, I went to the gym with some close friends. We headed inside, filled out paperwork, and entered a large room. Over the next few minutes, people slowly trickled in and, before I knew it, the room was full. Everything seemed easy enough, I could touch my toes and swing my arms; however, I soon found…
Through I value my book smarts that regular classes like English, Science, and Math give you, having the ability to take shop classes, and F.F.A class is something I truly value. Knowing how to weld and do stuff with my hands is something that I can use outside of a classroom environment is something that benefits me. You can’t go wrong with being your own personal handyman…
I had just woken up feeling cold. I looked out the window of my dorm to see the dark, cloudy day outside with the rain pelting down on the window pane. I was still really tired after the late night of getting praised on my amazing basketball skills, finally I had been recognized. The college basketball Hall of Fame plaque hung on the wall. It had just recently been updated after the Hall of Fame presentation on Saturday. Everyone was telling me that I needed to declare that I’m joining the NBA…
this disorder was going to control every aspect in my life, it prevented me from living like a normal kid. I was too blind to see and understand how this disorder was taking over my childhood. This mental compulsive disorder controlled my thoughts and the way I acted. It made me picture awful things and set guidelines or rules I had to follow for example, I couldn’t touch anyone, and if I did, I had to wash my hands in burning water. The worst part came after, if I broke one of these rules…
me and one other girl in my class were pulled aside my our teacher and informed that we had the two highest math testing scores of the class. This, she told us, meant we would occasionally be receiving different work and advanced instruction. That never happened. After this year, my math skills dropped and I had many math experiences to turn me away from the subject forever. In 5th grade, math was split into two classes, the normal class, and the advanced class. Since my 3rd grade score was…
