Drill bit

What have you done to make your school or your community a better place? 370 “With the world so set on tearing itself apart, it don 't seem like such a bad thing to me to want to put a little bit of it back together.” This quote from the recent film Hacksaw Ridge embodies my sentiment that brightening up someone’s day is the best feeling in the world for me. This desire to help others prompted me to volunteer for two years at UCLA hospital…

There are many lessons to be learned in life, lessons which are learned through conversations, mishaps, and great experiences. One experience I had was a little bit of all three. It was a conversation, started wrong, but nevertheless ended up being a great experience in which I learned an important lesson, that there are times to give up, and times to not give up, and sometimes even though giving up might seem like the right option, not giving up can lead to great success. My senior year of…

one may have been previously taught. Using that knowledge to guide you through the obstacles in the way like a navigator uses maps to direct the captain. Thrilled with excitement showing off to maybe your siblings or friends. One might feel a little bit invincible. The days to follow one might walk around with their head a little higher than before. Finally being able to accomplish something on my own was a huge milestone in my life. Every January my family and I would take a weeklong trip to…

candy and rubble. Timmy was very happy that all the candy was in a big pile and decided to set up his shop there. Poseidon was happy to see Timmy happy and he decided to go back up in the clouds. Poseidon was happy that he helped someone, but a little bit later the people from the big city were mad at Poseidon for flooding their buildings and houses. Which was what Zeus…

snatched the quilts out of Miss Wangero’s hands and dumped them into Maggie’s lap” (p.84). Wangero then gave up and walked out the door. At this point, I believe the mother felt better about herself as a woman, and this helped Maggie to grow a little bit more confidence as well. I believe that the mother had let Wangero rule her for so long she just got tired and finally just let go. She did not care if Wangero appreciated her or not and she finally realized that she is happy with…

When we got home for Las Vegas I knew America was going to be so beyond mad at me but we had to get married in that moment, I can't describe the feeling I had for him right then and there and I had to do something to express how I felt so we said “Screw it, we're getting married” but now we're happily married laying on the new couch in Travis’s apartment. Im slowly getting eaten up inside waiting until America comes home so I can show her the ring and let her get her anger out for me going…

informed him. “Hm, that’s too bad. She would definitely get the job done.” That made my body shiver. My foot started bouncing even faster but neither of them seemed to notice. Either that or they simply didn’t care. “Anyway, Starr, your pay is a bit slim today. There have been some price changes. It shouldn’t last long, though. You’ve still made a pretty penny.” He said, reaching his arm out to give Starr the envelope. He didn’t reach far enough for her to actually take it. She was expected…

It also teaches good morals and values such as honesty, gratefulness, and respect; values that will help guide me throughout the rest of my life. Over the summer my PLTW…

Giving back has always been in my thoughts. I was able to do a little bit of giving back monetarily last week but I try to have a giving attitude even though my finances have constrained me for a long time. I think having gratitude for what we have lets us feel like we can give a little of it away. The last chapter that…
