I Know What You Did Last Summer

I first met nate the beginning of the summer before freshman year. I was 14. he had just turned 21. he was home for the summer and since I was often over at this younger brothers house- we were together often and I have never fallen for anyone so hard. he was on fire, filled with passion. and I was desperate to feel something. he was sweet to me in the beginning. he would bring me flowers and kiss my forehead to say goodnight. and then, as I got to know him better, I began to see glimpses of his…

Were all packing up for summer vacation. well I'm not, but I don't need to to, I already packed the previous day. So don't even think about calling me lasy.... Dont ! Ok now back to the story. I was playing video games downstairs in in the basement and then my cousin Alex came down stairs. Alex is a tall skinny man wearing a black and red shirt, jeans and a backwards cap. And if you're wondering why I said man he's not exactly a teenager in fact he's an adult he's 22 years old. And he was the…

because I felt like I left a lot on the table during my interview that I wish to address. With the intentions of deciding upon and announcing the directors before CIJID I felt there may not be enough time to schedule a follow up interview, so I hope to further get my point across in this e-mail of why I believe I am qualified and fitting for the job of Program Director. I know one of your concerns you raised during the interview was the small amount of management experience. I agree that I may…

annual service trip to the Dominican Republic. I had heard about the trip from Dr. O’Connor when I did the summer enrichment program in 6th grade. I looked forward to going on the trip when I got to Ghost, and I got the chance this summer. At first I was really nervous, but by the second day there I realized how special the trip truly is. I got to give my Spanish a jog, I got to meet a ton of new people, and I had my eyes opened to a new way of living. I can truly say that the week altered my…

I never thought this moment would come. Never thought I would feel so empty and emotionless inside. On the morning of July 17th, 2011, it had felt like a typical summer morning. I had woken up and was just laying in my bed for a while, feeling the sun on my face and the light summer breeze. I must have fallen back asleep because moments later I was abruptly awoken by my brother. The unthinkable had happened. Words I never thought I would hear my brother say came spewing out of his mouth. My…

would always recite to me as I was growing up at the moments I felt a great desperation at school. I was a bilingual student trying to learn and read English. At the same time I was trying to maintain the Spanish language. My kinder class was mainly taught in Spanish but my mom believed that the reason for a bilingual class to learn both and to improve in both. She hired a tutor for me to work with me on my English. In first grade…

In the book “The Last Lecture”, chapter fifty three, Randy Pausch explains and tells a story to give an example of him getting over a brick wall and never giving up. Randy wanted to teach the reader to never give up and to get over that brick wall in front of them. This part in his life taught him that once you get over that wall, you should share your experience with others and possibly inspire them. A quote from the chapter that stood out to me was “the moral is: If you want something bad…

I was 15 and I had “fallen in love” with my first high school best friend, which was a mistake. His name was Trenton, he was tall, italian, and so dang attractive, and he made me think that my care for him was actual love. It’s like that Taylor Swift song saying ‘if someone says they love you you’re going to believe them’. We were in a relationship for a good eight months and I thought things were going great. I felt like I was on top of the world with him. Towards the inevitable end though, I…

Narration Summer is when people have fun with friends, enjoy the hot, dry air, go swimming, and live it up. It is when they are finally out of school and feel free again because they have nothing to worry about for the next three months. However, if someone wants shoes as nice as the Mizuno Wave Inspire 12’s like I did, one has to do a little work. The shoes looked so light that when wearing them, it would feel like walking on clouds, and the color was a gorgeous Key West green. My uncle is…

reason I believe I should be granted this scholarship is that I have a strong work ethic. Part of my work ethic, is investing time and hard work to achieve success. For speech, I had to practice to see any improvement as the rules and style did not come very naturally to me. To improve my understanding of my category in speech I observed and studied others to see where I could improve. I read about public speaking and put a lot of thought into what it means to be a good public speaker. I asked…
