I Don't Know

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…

illuminating the dark room. I roll over to my side and without looking grabbed my phone and slid the green answer button. With a heavy sigh, I pulled the device up to my ear. "Go," I muttered sleepily. "Journey," Axel 's was rushed through the phone, "Journey, Journey, Journey." "Axel?" I asked. I sat up in my bed, the covers rushing around me like disturbed ocean waves. My golden retriever jumped up, alert, trying to figure out what was going on. I rubbed his head before I stood and shuffled…

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…

told me that she decided that it was best for me, my sister and her to move to U.S.A. Don’t get me wrong, since I was a little girl, I wanted to travel the world, I wanted to experience new things, meet new people, talk different languages. But not at twelve. I wanted to stay in Barranquilla, Colombia; I wanted to stay with my culture, my traditions, my family and everything that I was accustomed to. However I was only 12 and my mother was the one who made the decisions. Ever since my dad and…

is this all I thought I’d have to do. Literally, all I must do is ride around, bounce from human to human, and make their life miserable, it’s great! Sure, many people hate me, but it’s just all part of the job. The job of being the disease of Typhus has its perks and downfalls, but mostly just perks. All my recruits and myself ride around in lice and fleas making people’s lives miserable. I myself don’t always infect people, usually I just send some of my troops in to do the job while I sit…

Today in class we listened to Ms. Angela Wagenti the president and owner of Vroooom a web based service. Ms. Wagenti created Vroooom in1999 though it was not her initial dream. She explained to us that her passion is and always will be dancing. She graduated from Southern Methodist University with a BA in dance, and a minor in marketing. She has a long history of the many dance affiliated professions that she had been part of for instance being the dance coach for the Dallas Cowboys dance team.…

“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…

The folkway violation that I chose to do is to interrupt people's conversations. I wanted to see how people would react and what would they say and or do. I did this to a couple then I did this to a group of sophomores to see their reactions. Then I did it to grown ups A reason why I chose to do it in the library is that there is always people in there. Another reason I chose to do the social experiment in the cafeteria is because there are many varieties of age group I performed this…

world. This summer I received that chance. In May of 2015 my mom told me, “We are going to see Ben and Samantha, “my Aunt and Uncle in the Dominican Republic. At first I was opposed to going, but as time went on I grew more and more excited about going on the trip. By June, everything was finalized and I was leaving to the Dominican Republic! On June 8th at 10:00 a.m., the American Airline airbus A320 lifted out of Sunport International Airport. My mom, sister, brother, and I flew to Dallas,…

Reflection Paper I have never enjoyed school. I enjoy learning new things and experiencing the wonders of this world. I am a ‘hands on’ learner. If you show me how to fish, I’ll retain the knowledge much more easily than to just explain how to fish. I’m assuming, like most people I went to college right out of high school and thoroughly enjoyed the college experience. Maybe for the wrong reasons. I thought I knew what I wanted to do with my life, but was never really motivated to complete my…
