If I Did It

Amy 's autobiography The first memory I have of elementary is in the first grade. I had to take that grade twice because I struggled with grasping academic concepts due to starting as a younger first grader with a late July birthday. Many years after that class my mom told me that one of my teachers said, “I would never make it into college because I was too much of a social butterfly.” The next memory I remembered is in second grade. I fractured my ankle playing tag. None of my teachers…

I entered into the education system at the age of 4 at the West Orange Community House in West Orange, New Jersey. It was an intensified non-profit preschool program. Before going to preschool, I was filled with many different emotions such as excitement, but nervousness as well. Staying away from home for a long amount of time during the day was something I had never done before, so it was very scary, but I was ready. I remember my dad would drop me off every day and I would be sent to the…

concentration. The assignment that we did consisted in bringing to class an unfamiliar object in a bag so anyone could see it in order to describe the object in details without the visual concept. We exchange the object with someone else who did not know what the object was. My partner gave me her object inside her glasses case; so I decide to close my eyes and try to describe the case also as part of this assignment since I did not see it in details. After I received the object I put it under…

quite a few questions concerning my exercise and eating habits. It was hard to answer honestly about where I currently am, and not base my answer on my past, when I was much healthier both physically and mentally. My real age ended up being 33.4 years old, 3.3 years older than I currently am. The website provided a vast amount of helpful information based off of the answers I gave. Adopting a “this too shall pass” attitude is one way to help decrease my stress. The…

sister, Jade, and I for a little vacation. We would leave soon after we got out of school on Wednesday or early Thursday morning to wherever they were taking us. Some of the trips would be only one or two days and others would be all four days that we had off. We would jump in their red Toyota and drive all over the continental U.S. seeing mostly flat land and corn field along the way. Most of the trips that we took together were fun and exciting and others not that much. I did not always…

I did my last two practicum sessions with Constable Brain Brusse and Constable Norman Smith. Brussue is usually a School Resource Officer but he was filling in for another officer at the front desk/public service that day. Smith, as mentioned in my first essay, is part of the Traffic Response Unit of the Lethbridge Regional Police Service (LRPS). The Traffic Unit is always out and about- kept busy by drivers. I cannot say much action happens at the front desk beyond paper work and conversation.…

toughest decisions I have made. Imagine leaving the country and home that you were born and bred in, to another place in another continent that you have never been to before. I want to be a medical doctor who will help make people happy and healthy, therefore, more efficient to effect change, so I decided to study in the United States where I will receive the best training to achieve my career goal. I was confident and determined to be the best and make it to medical school after which I will…

house and put into camps where they would be seperated from there familys and moved to camps or killed. I don't know why the nazi did this but from reading this book shows how cruel they really were. Before reading the book, I really didn’t know much about the the Holocaust. I knew that the Holocaust was a time were Jewish, and other innocent people, were put to work and were killed by the Nazi. What I learned in school is that we didn't want to get involved, but we joined forces with the other…

when I was lying down on a hospital bed. As I was lying down not knowing what was going on, the doctor came saying I had type 1 diabetes. At the time, I did not understand what diabetes was and how it would impact my life. All I knew was that my life would never be the same. My parents were worried that I would not be able to do things that other kids did, but as it turned out, growing up and being the young girl and having the responsibilities made me who I am today. My first reaction when I…
