I Know What You Did Last Summer

“What I Did This Summer?” This summer I participated in many exciting events. I helped my dance studio with a dance camp and I spent a few days with my friends. The most exciting thing I did this summer was that my family and I went on a trip to Italy. I have gone to Italy only once before, and I was in fourth grade and it was my second time going to Europe. I love all the different cultures and the people I meet. In Italy everyone is kind and they try to speak English, even though they…

there is not much to do there comes a time where you might go out and do something that your parents would not approve of but if that is the only way you are gonna have fun you might just do it. My parents are very strict , but that is only because they want the best for me which I most definitely get , however I do think that they could let loose sometimes. It was just this year that my parents finally let me have people come to my house.Typically I am a very good kid who listens and obeys my…

the end of the wonderful time we call summer, it starts months and months of stress and pain, and it means getting up at six every weekday, with about four to six hours of sleep. Once you finally realize that you cannot escape the impending doom that is upon you, it is time to get up and get ready for it. Now school is not that bad, but the first day is one of my least favorite days of the year, I dislike the introductions, the explanations of the classes that you will be stuck with, and the…

Pete began pacing the porch. “What Martyn said to you about the solar system might explain the red sunsets and sunrises. The lights I've seen behind the clouds. People don't think to look up any more. Apart from farmers and sailors most seem to have forgotten how to read the weather by observing the sky. If what your friend says is true, we can’t believe what we see when we look up, because the sky is a lie.” “Martyn said it's getting too close. They won’t be able to hide it much longer.” “Is he…

not be aware of what that purpose is yet. I am fortunate enough to know what my educational plan is and am also aware of the amount of time I must dedicate towards it in the process. Becoming a medical doctor requires innumerable years, but especially when you want to practice a specialty such as Dermatology. Though the conclusion of receiving certification to work in this occupational field comes with numerous assets, it also costs much more than time and energy along the way. I am set to…

When I was in the fourth grade I started to started my football career. Playing football has changed my life and has made me who I am. My football journey, begins here. It all began at Crowville Middle School when I was 9 years old. I joined the Crowville tackle one football team. My decision to play this sport would have a lasting impact on me and is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was very nervous yet optimistic about playing football. I had seen it played on television and at…

The one time I was able to help someone is when I mentor a student at a local elementary school. When I am with the student, I am helping her out but in reality she’s helping me out so much more. I've done the mentoring program now for around five years. For the past four years I've had the same student and we have grown very close. She is from Hawaii, so she did not know very many people when she moved here. When I first met her she was very shy and she kept to herself. Most of the hour we…

Though I love everything that I do, My favorite thing I do is work up at an all boys camp in Rhinelander, Wisconsin called Camp Deerhorn. Every year that I travel up to camp, I look forward to meeting new people and forming some new friendships. In my room I have a plaque that reads “Camp Deerhorn Creed.” It was written by the founder of Camp Deerhorn, Dr. Don C. Broadbridge in 1930, and it lists out 13 of the most essential and important ways on how to act in order to become a gentleman. My…

2/5/2015 “Night” Holocaust… what is that? Who was involved in it? These are just a few questions that I had before reading the book “Night.” Prior to starting this book, I have heard many things about the holocaust, but never really planned or thought that I would be reading a book in the future, then being able to actually travel to this location. In this essay, I would like to share with you what I learned from the book, how it impacted my view on the world and last but not least, how it…

Entering college can be tough; you have to learn how to live by yourself, you have to budget your time, and you have to make all new friends. For me all of that was true, but the part that gave me the most was making friends. I'm generally a very shy person and tend to let people come up to me but before the school year started I decided that I would push myself to join clubs and be the first to talk to people. So when the club fair started I decided that I would join a couple clubs, and the…
