I Know What You Did Last Summer

1. Cabin chat (374) If you could fill up a swimming pool with anything what would it be? Would you rather be a princess or a superhero? What was your favorite part of the week? Those were the questions I asked when leading my first cabin chat. Cabin chat includes asking silly questions or a time to talk about experiences of life with a chronic illness. Cabin chat was always one of my favorite parts of camp because we could speak without fear of judgment or not understanding, even at the age of 7…

Cards? What Cards? “Welcome class,” said the teacher at Math Enrichment. There I was in the summer, sitting at my desk with a deck of cards in my pocket and a big binder in front of me full of math problems that I would be learning in 8th grade. Chattering filled every corner as. Then five minutes later, it was silent as the night. Nobody said a single word. I labored over my problems for about half an hour, but I could not take it anymore. I rushed through the problems, not caring it I…

something that I would say can apply to not only every athlete but anyone trying to accomplish anything in life. My parents have always pushed me to be involved in activities and put forth effort in all that I do. As I have grown up, there have been several lessons I’ve learned from cross country that influenced my choices today. My work ethic in all that I do can relate back to the experiences and values that cross country has taught me. In the hope that I would be a star volleyball player, I…

After I think about how I was going to originally start the paper I’m glad I realized that I need to change the whole entire thing. Starting a paper out talking about what success…

Two of us sit together, side by side, in soft, comfortable chairs on the second level of our home. We wear everyday clothes. I listen patiently to her ramblings. When the talking is over, I sit up in the chair, and I am officially telling her everything, the eldest child of Heather Crawford in the city of Hutto, Texas.

1. I chose 5 as to what extent I enjoy reading. I chose five because I like to read books that relate to me, are interesting, and end with cliffhangers. I have been reading ever since I was young. Yet, I have not always enjoyed reading because some of the story I have read just didn’t make sense and the author stumped me. People learn in different ways.
