Always Has Been

I always knew I wanted to get a higher education, and I lived by this advice. I have had A honor roll for as long as I can remember, and school always comes first. That one sentence has formed my aspirations and led to my academic successes. Many people say that motivation should come from within, not from others. However, I feel those people don't understand my culture. I am motivated by making my family proud, and by making all their sacrifices for me worth it. I have been raised to believe…

This class has taken me on an adventure with learning different aspects of writing. I never really put much thought into writing it’s just a normal daily thing. There is so much more to it than I had originally thought. I do hope that I can learn to write more academically acceptable and that this class will lead me on the correct path. It has helped to broaden my take on writing and to seek out the help needed in order to write better. I know that I can ask my teacher questions about…

very critical decision that ended up costing her life. There is always two paths to choose from in life. This is probably one of the most important pieces of information that the author communicates in his poem. Tennyson relays three messages in his poem, they are; complicated choices, it’s always the guy’s fault, and to want what we can’t have. In The Lady of Shalott by Tennyson, his first message communicated is that life is always going to throw complicated choices towards you. It all…

Tim has always been seemed to stick out among his school. Although Tim has always been more of an observer, most people seem to know him. He is kind to everyone in school and participates in soccer, basketball, and baseball. He’s a very sophisticated kid for his age. Tim has smooth, dark-brown hair that seems to always be in place. He’s very lean for being 6-foot, 5-inches. This kind of height is uncommon where…

Raimut was extradited to the Ormish Empire and executed. Mara was institutionalised. The twins were left rudderless, alone in Raimut's great townhouse, still filled with evidence of the crimes they'd been accomplice to. For years, the twins existed in a sort of haze, recovering from Raimut's brutality and from the aftereffects of the awful things they had done. They remained secretive and private and did not cultivate any significant friendships during this time, being afraid of being…

letters which changed my life over the past 3 years more than anything ever has. I’ve changed my career plans so drastically that I’ve decided to throw away the dream of becoming a scientist or an engineer to try and focus on creating music and try do it full time. I’ve got a real passion for music. I’ve first started when I was 12 when I first walked into the music classroom. It was the first week of second year and I’ve never been so excited to be in school as that day. I’ve fell in love with…

doesn't always fly, run fast, or have super human strength. But all heroes have super powers. My Michigan hero has the power of words, caring, and niceness, her powers are strong, she's like a sister. My Michigan hero is my best friend Brianna. B is for brilliant, she always knows what to say. Like when our friend had a conflict, she told her what's what and steered her back on track. R is for reliable, she is always there for you. Even when she's far away or you don't need her, she's always…

***“Things are not always what they seem; the first appearance deceives many; the intelligence of a few perceives what has been carefully hidden.”*** In the story Eleven by Sandra Cisneros Rachel struggles to see things aren’t always the way they seem to be. Like when is your birthday and you're teacher is mean. Rachel struggles to see thing aren't always the way they seem to be because it was her birthday.

agree they have affected my development in terms of behavior. I lived in New York before moving to California. It is not as dreamy and friendly as California. If I would have had the support and encouragement of my family and friends, I would have been in twelve grade by now probably college. I was given the opportunity to skip a grade, but I wanted to fit in and be accepted…
