I Try

never done can be pretty difficult. I myself have had a few things that I would love to do if I could get a couple of people to come with me. I was interested in trying my hand at fencing, because playing with swords seems to be something smart to try to do. I brought up the idea to my group of friends in the class, and there was a lot of interest in giving it a shot. So the research was on, and we scoured the internet for possibilities of classes to try our hand at the ever elusive…

I don’t think I’ve ever worked so hard in my life before our service learning project on Saturday. I never imagined myself actually getting down and dirty. The experience overall was amazing because it was something that I was not used to doing. I felt that the project took me out of my comfort zone in the since that I had never done hard labor like that. Working with my classmates to serve the community was a great experience and I’m glad I got to do it with them. They are a wonderful group to…

when my best friend *Jim and I went to Garden City to a church event. About two years ago my best friend Jim and I were on our way to Garden to the church event. Jim was a somewhat of a bad person Jim has gotten in more trouble than I have. He has gotten in trouble with the cops. Jim and I were sixteen years old at the time. The church event was an overnight event and the guys stayed at the church. Then he told me of an idea that we should mess with people at night. I said, “We shouldn’t do it…

Strength training I haven't exactly had sand kicked in my face, but I have experienced the independent woman's equivalent: having to ask my boyfriend to replace the five-gallon water jugs on my water dispenser. Water weight For years, we had a perfect system. I wanted a drink; he did the heavy lifting. But when things got shaky between us, I was forced to take responsibility for my bottled water habit. First, I tried three-gallon jugs, but they were still too heavy for me to carry up to my…

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…

of 2016 began on May 22, when my parents told me we were going on a cruise that summer. I was very surprised at this. Every year we go to Hunting Island State Park to camp on the beach for about two weeks. I was very disappointed that we weren't going this year but I was also excited to go on on my first cruise. I did not know what to expect or if it would be any fun at all. On June twentieth, my family and I boarded a plane to fly to Fort Lauderdale. We arrived two days before we were allowed…

open, will you be surprised by what you see, or what you did not see? Whenever I step into an elevator, I claim the back corner, as if I am hiding in fear from something. The kind of dread that keeps you from looking at a lifeless body. It keeps you waiting for a miracle.…

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…

It was my first time working with my new Robotics team since I had changed schools after sophomore year. Immediately after the event Recycle Rush was announced at FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) Kick Offs, discussions and ideas started flowing. Several students collected in the school auditorium started sharing their ideas. “Have arms that can move the totes,” suggested one kid. I decided to voice my idea and proposed a lift mechanism on a robot with Mecanum drive terrain, as Mecanum drive…
