I Decided

months. Should I re-enlist or go back to my starving family? It was a difficult decision, but the only thing I could do now is pray.Most people were vacating. after nine-months, We lived in small huts with 12 men, young women developed “scarlet fever”, which is a massive crush on the redcoats.

Summer of 1775 George Washington and his troops withdrew from Boston and retreated from New York City. On October 1777, he had been unable to stop British and nine - month men were leaving Valley forge” small winter camp”, 18 miles, northwest of Philadelphia.

Perfect Day 7:30 A.M. I wake up in my king size bed to my alarm clock ringing. I get up and put on my new Voltron Legendary Defenders T-shirt and black ripped jeans. I go downstairs and look out one of the many large windows in my modern mansion. Looking out at the beautiful landscape on my private island. Gorillaz’s “Good Feel Inc.” plays through the house from my personal playlist. I go to my giant bathroom to get ready for today. 8:00 A.M. When I go downstairs for breakfast, I see that my…

During the course of the two weeks the one behavior that I selected to change was to reduce my spending behavior. My first thoughts on trying to modify this behavior was that this was going to be a stress-free assignment that I was going to be able to accomplish with no problems. Going into the assignment and believing that I was going to only need to put little to no effort into it lead me to becoming quite surprised when I discovered that it was not as easy as I made it out to be. However,…

The Most Inspirational Person I Know Being in an unfair world has shown me, that life mishaps should not stop you from achieving your goals.

Most of the times I decide to stay quiet and turn the other cheek, but during the summer I decided to step out of my comfort zone. In April my boyfriend bought us tickets to go to the Ohana Music Festival in Dana Point California. This was the present he gave me for our three year anniversary and it was the best thing that anyone has ever given me. I was extremely excited because my all-time favorite singer, Lana Del Rey was going to perform. I absolutely adore her and I never thought that I…

gratification. Every time I would go to the beach I would hear the wailing seagulls hovering over the sand, and the glistening ocean. It always fascinated me to see people take a beautiful day to spend it at the beach. No matter what your age is the beach was always a place to relax and have fun with family and friends.

On some weekends, I worked with my father at his part time job. He worked at this plaza for its owner, and sometimes he required assistance, so I decided to willingly work with him at the plaza. When I was there, I would help my father clean and renovate the plaza. For instance, if he was demolishing or taking down something, I would usually pick up the rubble and take it to the odorous trash. If he needed to fix a water leak in one of the suites, I would help him find the source of the leak and…

Although I was born in the United States, I have spent the first half of my life living in other countries. As glamorous as that may sound, it is far from that; instead, it had made me feel like a social outcast. All this moving around did not allow me to establish a firm cultural foundation, and I found myself being very introverted, shy, and reclusive; I just never really “fit in” anywhere I lived. To make matters worse, my parents were so oblivious to this; I felt like I could not even talk…

We got the bill and immediately put the money needed in the middle, dividing it equally among the 5 people. However, we still needed to tip. We had decided to…
