My Favorite Mistake

The rhetorical decision, using all our senses, and two descriptions paper lessons were my favorite. Learning how to write not just my opinion and views, but rather factor in who I was trying to capture with my writing was a new learning experience for me. Military writing has been my main form of writing for a long period of time and in that form of writing your main goal was to get the objective across without much concern for those that would be reading the document. Most letters I wrote were…

time. My friend said she was interested in the puppy and that she had to talk to her grandma. My friend already knew there was no way her grandma would let her take the puppy. She took a chance and asked her grandma but she said no. Being the animal lover I am I felt really bad because I didn’t want to see the puppy go to the shelter. She’s also a pitbull so I knew it would be bad for the puppy. That day I went home and told my mom I knew a boy who was willing to give me a puppy for free. My…

Little Falls, Minnesota. My job consisted of mowing and trimming our customers’ lawn, as well as blowing off their sidewalk and driveway after. While working, I learned how to deal with various types of people with different attitudes toward their lawn. Some have a good attitude, while others do not, making my job easier at times and harder during others. There are four different types of lawn owners: Nice Old Ladies, Rich Snobs, Tightwads, and Know-it-alls. My favorite type of lawn owners are…

comment. Instead, an unfixable mistake was made. My mistake caused my first and only grounding and all of it could have been avoided. It was the summer of 2011, I was inside the house reading my favorite book, If you Give a Mouse a Cookie mythological allusion. It was as hot as a volcano outside, but my neighbors wanted to play outside Simile. We played with a ball for a while together until my brother came outside. When he came outside, we decided to play our favorite game on the swingset…

observant, respectful, and driven. This program has helped create who I am and how I deal with life for example problems. I would have to say one of my best qualities are being understanding and being able to solve complex problems. This quality helps me have great connections with people and would be helpful in the workforce and at college. My great qualities and skills help me define who I am and how I deal with problems and how I function. I am a human,…

This mistake has haunted me for my entire life, and it will continue to haunt me in the future. Every time I get a big fish on my ice fishing pole, he snaps the line because of the drag not being set correctly, and he gets away. He’s so rare to find on the end of your pole, although i’ve had so many chances. One day though, that big fish will find himself on top of the ice. Every time I go ice fishing, I hope for the fish that I have lost so many times. This all elusive fish that bites so few…

doesn’t turn out how you thought it would. But it’s also really fun and exciting. I’ve never actually colored my own hair before. Unless you count attempting to remove the black from it last summer by bleaching and using color remover on it. Needless to say that didn’t turn out too well. Well the first thing I did was rewatch YouTube videos on how to dye hair to refresh my memory. Then I convinced my brother to let me dye his hair. He chose black, which is an interesting color to use when you’re…

In all my years of education, no teacher has inspired me in a subject as much as Mr. Karmali, my calculus teacher in my senior year of high school. Mehebub S. Karmali, was a old asian-indian, in his mid sixties, who was proud to be teaching high school students the concepts of calculus. At the beginning of the year, I thought that he would be my worst nightmare from how my sister, and my upperclassmen friends talked about him. However, at the end of the year, I realized he was the complete…

though, it’s the friends we made; the experiences and knowledge that we all gained throughout elementary and middle school too. Even though we are all graduating middle school today, I think I can speak on behalf of my classmates when saying that we all learned so much already. To my teachers, friends, and parents, I have learned so much all of you. It doesn’t matter that you came to C2E in kindergarten or if you came in 7th grade. All of us at C2E are one big, inseparable family;…

When writing throughout the year I have learned many things. I believe I have grown as a writer, especially in the maturing of my vocabulary and sentence structure. Looking back on these works of writing, I would have to say my favorite piece was the argumentative research paper. This was a great essay because it was a free range topic and I got to write about my own interests. Also, I got to do an abundance of research on something I enjoy. I felt that I was more likely to put forth more effort…
