Come to Me

Fresno, United States on August 12th, 2012 after 20 hours flight all the war from China, feeling sore and ache all over. When I came out from the terminal, the bright sunlight made me squint, the fresh air made me feel relaxed, I told myself “It is a new start!” Some Chinese students picked me up in the airport and drove me to atrium to check in.

Also, my parents didn’t know that I had a girlfriend, but of course I took her with me so she can watch me play. Her name is Amy she is a beautiful mid-height cheerleader, who went to JFK, which is where I went too. Amy didn’t know I was a good soccer player, so I had to prove it to her and actually demonstrate my skills. We started…

children. These studies are some of my favorite because they are so applicable to everyone’s life. Through researching and understanding memory loss we as students are more capable of preventing memory loss and improving memory skills. A skill that could come in handy for college students and their studies. In the movie Benjamin Button he starts to experience memory loss towards the end of the movie (end of his life) and we were able to see the affect it had on him and his family. Memory skills…

years old, I have always wanted to be a lawyer. Growing up I enjoyed watching the television show; Law and Order Special Victims Unit, with my grandfather every day after school. When we would sit and watch the show together, my grandfather would tell me all the time “You would make a great lawyer Joe.” As I got older and older the idea grew more and more in my head and now it is my main goal in life. This internship with the Divisional Clerks office is my first step in my life path to…

one feels overwhelmed. College separates you to being on your own. Limited personal time, stress, and being separated has made me change my priorities in many ways. It has made me realize the value of personal time, relationships, and independence. College consisting of having to balance school, work, relationships, and such, it gives little time to myself. College keeps me occupied from when I get up till when I can’t stay awake anymore. Getting personal time in college especially is like…

discouraging me. Even with people disappointing me, I learned how to persevere through all of life’s struggles. In my band program, making all-region band is a massive deal. Every year, people will be in the band hall before and after school getting ready for tryouts. In order to try out, Mr. Cole makes you pass all the scales and excerpts that could be selected for the tryouts. One day during…

told my parents I didn 't know how to read. “It’s not your fault, honey, they just didn 't know how to help you,” my mother said to me gently, running her fingers tenderly through my hair. My father, on the other hand, relayed an angry drunken lecture to me almost every night about how that crappy school stole all of his money. Both agreed that the best thing for me was to retake the first grade. It’s been said many times that I was the only thing they could agree on. Still, I heard the…
