I Decided

Truthfully, I never had much interest and had no plans on going to prom mostly due to the fact that I was really bashful and unconfident. Even still, my friends would constantly ask whether or not I was going to attend prom. I would tell them “I don’t know” every time, but since it was finally my senior year, my friends filled me with guilt, saying that I would regret not going to our final high school dance. After constantly thinking and being jealous of all the prom proposals that were…

create a family tree in my extended family for as far as my grandparents remembered. But once I realized that the tree wasn 't going to turn out as big as I thought it would be I decided to change my topic to something that I loved-food! I changed my topic to the history of pasta. This opened up doors that lead to new things that I could research and a much more vast ground for me to start my project on. I researched things like all the different types of pasta and a couple different sauces. The…

I have had the privilege to interview Mrs. Davida Gee- Allen for this assignment. Mrs. Allen is a graduate from Mississippi Valley State, where she received her master’s in the field of Social Work. She is currently a supervisor at the department of human serves in the Mississippi delta. She emphasizes the fact that she love what she do, no matter the cost. She entered this field to help people with everyday crisis and most of all defenseless children. Her future plan is to become an…

Service Learning Reflection During my time at New Hope, there was one boy, *Kory, that I drawn to from the beginning. I really don’t know how to explain it but I just felt like I was meant to know him and to help him. He had these sad eyes that seemed to be crying for help. One thing I learned about Kory early on, is that you never know which version of him you are going to get. Some days he would be talkative, rambunctious, and completely lacking self-control, causing him to get in trouble…

at exactly 7:15 pm. When I describe myself as a white haired, red eyed, and average weight and height 15 year old people think I'm albino. Its actually the opposite I'm a bit tanned in fact. Well after deciding to walk around the park for ten minutes I decided to go home. By then it was 7:10 pm and after walking for another five minutes I took a breather. When I was finished I started walking again then I heard a ''chink!'' And looked down. I dropped my wallet , but when I went to pick it up my…

thought at first was I am going to be a speech pathologist. I am fascinated with language. I observe people daily, and I also observe myself. Furthermore, I wonder daily what is the purpose of this journey. What am I hear to learn, to share, to serve? I am not insensitive to my actions; I know what I do daily, and I take responsibility for it. I observe people daily, their words, their actions, usually the disconnect between the two, but I sit and watch the resistance to everything. I try to…

this day, I met the love of my life. That date will forever be special to me, as it has affected my life in so many positive ways. We found each other at just the right time for the both of us, and together changed our lives for the better. If it weren’t for a friend’s persuasion, and maybe a little fate, I would not be where I am today. A few months prior to the 30th, I broke up with my girlfriend of 2 and a half years. She decided that I was not enough for her (three times), so I decided to…

This was my exit. I had skipped breakfast and at that time my stomach had began to rumble. Not far off the highway I spotted a quaint home that had been transformed into a diner. I decided to stop. An elderly woman with bouffant silver hair, wearing a blue checked dress and apron greeted me at the door with a smile before seating me. It was as if I had stepped back into an old movie or perhaps a doorway into the past. Upon the waitress’s instance, I ordered the daily special. It was a…

It was a crisp summer day and I was laying on the sandy beach of Dewmont Lake. The smell of sweat and sunscreen was in the air and it was a scorching hot day. So I decided to go in the water with my friends Callie and Emily. We splashed around in the lake and played all sorts of games with each other and with our other neighbors who were at the lake with us. One of my favorite games was chicken fights and I got to say Emily and I were pretty much the best team out there. Once we were tired of…

I was walking with my friend to class when it happen. Before it happened, I noticed that I had seen no teachers or adults for that matter in the halls. When it happened, there was the sound of a large crash and the whole building shook like there was huge earthquake just under Badger. What happened? At first, I had no idea what happened until I looked out the window then I saw it. A huge glass dome had covered the entire school. Floods of students like moths to light ran outside to see what had…
