Chinese New Year

These past three years I've been involved with the Point Pleasant Black Knight Marching Band continue to be the most incredible three years of my life. I've met many of my close friends through band and I would consider many of them my family. We will always be so much more than just a band and every tear, drop of sweat and bruise quickly becomes worth it. I learned many life lessons from my family. They stick by my side through the worst and best times of my life and I'm so exceptionally lucky…

Our 1,000 Paper Cranes It all started one day in Ms.Anderson’s sixth grade classroom at J.A Rogers Elementry.It was a normal day early in the year about September,in class with work about ancient Greece after the lesson was over we had to answer questions and do a worksheet. I sat next to my best friend Nicole.She was taller and has dark,median size hair in a bun and black eyes with a scar on the side of her nose.She always made me laugh and I made her laugh but we were very different…

cared about my grades and wouldn’t give them answers to homework or tests. I’ve kept to myself throughout most of high school and never went to any sporting events and I never wanted to go to any school dances for fear of being bullied. My sophomore year was the closest I’ve ever gotten to actually committing suicide. I was in my car, while it was running, in the garage with the door down. I sat for about five minutes before I realized that if I did it that they would win. If I gave in and took…

Introduction Upper gastrointestinal bleeding can be manifested with hematemesis, melena or hematochezia. Acute bleeding due to gastroesophageal varices in cirrhotic patients is associated with higher morbidity, mortality rates as well as development of life-threatening complications.

crossbow. I practice shooting the bows a lot in my backyard during fall/hunting season. I love hunting, but soccer is another sport I really love. I play soccer for Kingdom. Kingdom is a fun team to play on. As a player on the Kingdom team, I meet new kids, train at practices and have training sessions for 1 hour and 30 minutes. At practice we work on plays and at training sessions we work on moves and footwork. Playing on this team has shown me to never give up and play hard. On my team we…

what really hit me. I remember having to beg her to let me stay for my fourth grade year and finally she let me but the deal was if I stayed for fourth grade then I would have to move to fountain for my fifth grade year. Of course I was happy that I got to stay another year but I was really upset about the fact that I couldn’t finish elementary in Denver but it was what had to happen. So during my fourth grade year I got really popular and made some great friends that I hung out with on a daily…

place to remember. I have learned many things, met new people, played new sports, and had fun classes. When I first came to yellin I was intimidated because it was such a big school with new opportunities. This essay will explain my experience throughout my years here in yellin. The first grade I will talk about is 6th grade. In 6th grade I had pretty good grades, and teachers. I had a big friend group that was full of fun people. This was the year that I first tried out for drama. I was a…

School Bus. I try just as hard as he does, maybe even harder and he always ends up with the best overall grade in the class. The last day of every year in elementary school, the students were handed their yearly report cards. My grades did not interest me at all as a 2nd grader. What mattered to me most was not my grades, but my reading level. Every year all of the students take a reading test a week before school ends. The test determined the reading grade level for each student. As I was…

some of the rules contradicted each other. When it came to classroom technology, I think some of the rules did not apply or they were more lenient. For history class, the students got to watch a daily podcast called “CNN” Student News” that briefly described the current news stories throughout the United States and the rest of the world. In English the students were allowed to watch movies when learning about Shakespeare and other famous…

concerted cultivation life of structure, schedule, and activities but there were road blocks that didn’t allow her to implement this teaching in prime years of my development. Lareaus talked about the big effect that a parent’s education level plays on the child’s life. Growing up I only had a mother and although she didn’t make it past her sophomore year of high school she later enlisted in the…
