I Do

June 6th, 2016, the end of my eighth-grade year at TKMS, I woke up, at 5:30, jumped out of bed, got dressed, ate, and yelled at my mom to get in the car, all by 6:20. But of course we weren’t even close to ready, and we didn’t even need to leave until 7:30. So after reluctantly going back inside, to pack a spare pair of clothes, sunscreen, and our tickets (which we almost forgot), we were finally ready to go and it was already 7:40, “MOM!!!” I yelled panicking, “WE’RE GONNA BE LATE!!!” “We’re…

“Your dad is dead!” I remember the statement so vividly. I remember the looks on everyone’s faces. I remember it all like it was yesterday. I was nine when my world spiraled out of control. My dad decided to take himself out of the world and leave us behind. He was in a lot of pain, and he didn’t know what to do with it. At first alcohol was his answer to the pain; but in the end it just left him hurting more than anything else. Things weren’t always miserable in our house. There were plenty of…

During the fall semester, I was involved in an unfortunate situation where my chapter made national media headlines. The incident involved a new member in my chapter and a member of the LGBTQ community. The new member had made some terrible decisions and harassed this person with no sense of humility. Being president of the chapter that had this new member, I was deeply saddened and reached out to the victim as soon as I could. I attempted to heal the situation the best I could while taking…

It was a hot day in Indiana i was about to have a big long break from school in summer and i couldn't wait. What was so special you might ask well, we were going to Paris. Me, my Mom, and my Dad have been setting this up all year and it was time. It was the last day of school while i was day dreaming about Paris and then i heard the bell ring and it was officially summer. As a lot of people with their friend said goodbye while I was running out the doors. Right when i got home it was time to…

was going great. Just got moved up to the A team in volleyball and just started dance. When I was at my last game playing for the B team, I jumped to block the ball and I instantly fell onto my knees. Everyone there thought i just bruised or maybe scraped them, up out of nowhere pain shot through my foot and it started to burn and I immediately started to tear up and almost cry. I tried to hide it but i think my parents saw it because they were trying to…

audience, so they don 't have to go learn it the hard way and figure it out themselves. His physical portrayal of his speech was very poor by just reading off of his transcript that he brought with him. These lessons are what stuck to me when hearing this. I bet it would stick with you as…

talents to address this need and make a difference in your community. So, as I began to think about my background with agriculture and the National FFA Organization I was thinking on how I could improve on canned food drives which only provide for people one time and for a limited amount of time. The idea I developed from that was to start a garden in order to provide for those who are in need of food so that I could do it every season and continually provide these people with…

Outcome 2 I choose to use SA2 for this outcome. This assignment is about analyzing the rhetorical choices and evidences choices made by others. I need to have a good understanding about the correct use of rhetorical choices in order to make just judgement about whether others make effective rhetorical choices or not. In addition, the evidences play an important role in a persuasive paper, so I also need to determine whether the authors choose effective evidences to support their main claims.…

the worst of times? Before I say anything else I just want to say that the purpose of this opening was to get you interested. Having said that I actually do not know the answer to that question however I do know about the theme of that question. Being able to push through when the going gets tough. There are 3 songs that I have chosen that convey the same theme. The writers of these songs are Macklemore a white rapper and Dan Auerbach from the band Cage the Elephant. I intend to analyze “Hold…

When I arrived at the training grounds, everyone were in groups talking amongst themselves. I walk up infront of everyone, clearing my throat to get everyone's attention. “Sorry to disappoint you cheerleaders, but Ethan couldn't make it so let's get to work to get it over with, shall we?” I say with authority laced in my voice. “Today we are working in our wolf forms so shift and follow my lead. Have your mindlink open incase I try to contact y’all.” I command shifting into my wolf. It has…
