Hempstead High

It was August 24th, 2009… I remember my first at in Vietnam for studying abroad in the American International School as if it was yesterday. I started going to middle school since when I was 7th grade. It was a memorable situation day ever in my life.

Even if the teacher says something, I did not…

meat on my bones, so I did. Around my 8th grade year summer, before entering high school, my whole body changed. I’m not sure if it was me finally reaching adolescence, but I sure did change my eating habits.

Throughout my high school years, I remained lean and tall, but I was eating a lot. Senior year,…

My life time goal is…

would live so you do not have to live on campus and if you have a job or other duties you can take many classes that fit your schedule. Also, these students who graduate for a specific vocation do receive substantial economic payoffs compared to a high school student (Dougherty, p. 405). In the end, the community college can be a great tool to quickly get a degree and go into a profession that you have been trained in but only if the person sticks to their studies and finishes their program.…

Ethnographic Research Paper: Life History (Geronimo Hernandez) The topic that I choose is the life history of a Mexican man by the name of Geronimo Hernandez. The reason why I choose to do a life history of a Mexican man is because I can relate with that person and I have knowledge of traditions and know some of the struggles Mexican people face as a community. I like Mr. Hernandez have come to this country to live a better life and have left a different life style back in our Country like many…

The next year, I switched schools and started my sophomore year at Spartanburg High School. I became friends with this girl name Erica Fields. She showed me around Spartanhigh and showed me where…

One of the reasons I am most excited about becoming a high school agricultural science teacher is the opportunity that is available to influence students’ lives. I did not realize how much of an impact all of my teachers had on me until I began school at Texas A&M Whether it was good or bad, they helped me become the person I am today. I will forever be grateful for the lessons they taught me, and for their influence on my career choice. My results for the Texas Genuine Assessment were a…
