Napoleon I

of the times I decide to stay quiet and turn the other cheek, but during the summer I decided to step out of my comfort zone. In April my boyfriend bought us tickets to go to the Ohana Music Festival in Dana Point California. This was the present he gave me for our three year anniversary and it was the best thing that anyone has ever given me. I was extremely excited because my all-time favorite singer, Lana Del Rey was going to perform. I absolutely adore her and I never thought that I would…

talk and forcing smiles when I decided I would spend lunch in the art room. “Where are you going?” Miss Moss the English teacher stopped me in the hallway. “The art room, that is okay, right?” I replied, tapping my thumbs nervously on my thigh. She shook her head at me disapprovingly for skipping lunch, however she allowed me to pass. The door to the art room clicked as I pulled down on the handle. My heart rate slowed as I observed the paintings on…

Something I have realized throughout my my life, is that on holidays, people tend to try to compensate, or help out the ones in need. And although this is a really admirable thing to do, it is usually something that is only done during this occasions. Furthermore, most times, it is assumed that their only needs are the material ones, when really, a lot of people need moral and spiritual need. My school used to take us to poor daycares on christmas eve, and we would be assigned each one one kid,…

The day I drove across the country to start a new life I learned how to accept my past, take on new challenges and plan for the future. It was a snowy February day. The snow had started to come down harder, the ice was thickening on the roads and I had an anxious puppy in the car. Just a few months before everything was very different. I had a solid job, what I had thought was happiness, and a great home. When she decided to leave my world turned upside down. Now I was sitting in my Nissan;…

In the fall of 1976 Wozniak finished the Apple II prototype. Jobs realized that it could become a major success; however they still lacked funds to produce it in large quantities. In 1977 Mike Markkula invested $92,000 in Apple. It wasn’t until The Apple II that Jobs PC hit it big. While the power of computing formerly had been available only to techies, it was suddenly delivered to classrooms, dens, and offices. Apple II was introduced in 1977 as the first fully assembled, programmable…

Do you know how Christianity spread? Do you know how Rome was saved? In this essay, I will be talking about how Constantine saved Rome and spread Christianity. His father, Flavius Valerius Constantius, was one of the members of the army. In 208, Constantine 's father left his wife and married the stepdaughter of Maximian and he was elevated to the deputy emperor under Maximian. Since his father was the Deputy Emperor Constantine wanted to fight battles with his father so he joined the army.…

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…

things were very interesting and I can honestly say I enjoyed researching this topic. However, despite all the things I learned, there are more things I wish to learn more about. I probably could have written at least a 20 page paper on this topic alone if I had covered every aspect of the Dark Ages themselves. To be completely honest, I could have easily just written this on the fall of Rome itself and the many factors that contributed to it. That is something I would have liked to dig deeper…

It is hard to imagine what it is like to live with next to nothing until you sit down and pull it apart piece by piece. I spent countless hours making a budget, and then rewriting the budget, until I finally got to the point where I could make a family of four successfully live off of a yearly income of $24,251. I visited websites I never thought I’d visit and budgeted things I unconsciously assumed everyone already had. The experience was both stressful and rewarding all in one. In the end, it…
