Fiscal year

The first time I encountered writing and reading and generally enjoyed the idea of both was around my early years in elementary school. I was one of those kids that hung out in the library and just read for the fun of gaining knowledge on things I didn’t know or thought about. Growing up In Adelphi, Maryland my grandmother would take me to the local library every two weeks so, I was always occupied by reading.I learned how to check in and out books and was privileged enough to have my own…

It all began in preschool, because I was curious how things worked, and I played with other kids. Like normal. The teachers suggested I was autistic. That I was the fancy “R-word”. This set the table for my school years. A good clean start. The real crime though is that they never told me. They let me figure out my “disability” on my own. I do not have autism. I wish I could look at my records to see the actual words they used for me. I wonder if it still says that about me. If it does, I’ll…

History has always been a big part of my life. I remember in first grade pouring all of my affections onto the historical fiction American girl doll books in the elementary school library and imagining myself as a Swedish immigrant in 1854, or as a young patriot in 1774. During second and third grade I devoted my free time to reading about the Civil War and the Spanish explorers that conquested through my native Florida. In fourth grade I remember leaping through a native american pottery…

Carnaval takes place around the Catholics’ time of lent. During carnaval, people dress up and crowd the streets in costumes. This is a time for people to feel freer than they would the rest of the year.

The basis of the celebration can be traced back to Roman celebration and to Europe in the middle ages. Carnaval is largely celebrated in Spain, during…

When I try to recall my earliest science experiences, the furthest I can go back is to the second grade. I feel as though I can only recall back to the second grade is because the majority of my early childhood was spent reading children’s books. I learned how to read at a very young age, so instead of focusing my energy on science topics, I poured all of my energy into reading the children’s books and chapter books that were laying around my house. What I remember from the second grade is the…

Obstacles in My Education Critical Self-Reflection I make an effort work hard all the time but, when there are obstacles in my way that seem too great to conquer it is easy to slack off and not work hard at the task at hand. Still in the midst of an obstacle I must find the courage, resilience, and strength to overcome the problem. My view of personal identity is significantly formed because of many factors in my life, the beigest obstacles in my life is my education, because I lacked basic…

gone and I had moved up to varsity, with the best time of anyone on the team. Up until that race I had stayed in the middle of the pack at practice, so a freshman moving into the top varsity spot took everyone by surprise. For the rest of my freshman year I consistently placed at meets and finished first for the West Delaware team. This led me to enter track with great confidence, which would soon be taken…
