Never have I ever

Ever since kindergarten, my mother home schooled me. In the 10th grade I attended Lafayette Christian Academy. After that year, I returned to homeschooling for my junior year – my final year of high school. Kindergarten through eighth grade was taught by my mom or classes that I watched on DVD. But once I got high school, I attended classes in town at various locations. As a homeschooler, people would ask me, "How do you socialize?" or, "How do you do anything extracurricular?" All of these…

so significant about that day? Well that?s the day I was born. To this day my mom and I laugh about the crazy story she tells about me not being her kid. She always compares me to my older brother and how he came out extremely small, light skinned, and to top it all off, he had the most beautiful grey eyes anyone would ever see, and according to her I was the complete opposite, fat, dark brown and my eyes being the biggest and darkest you?d ever see. She claims the doctors cleaned me off and…

always good material in writing, for me at the very least, and I find it fun to read. In this poem Sidney is trying very hard to write and just can’t find the words and at the end of his struggle the woman he is trying to write about gives him the answer. “Fool,’ my Muse said to me, “’Look in thy heart and write.’” This not only a powerful ending line but also comical in a way, because it asks the write to stop thinking and start versing. I think this could also be helpful as an example of both…

The War On War Author Haruki Murakami once said “Listen up- there’s no war to end all wars.” For as long as people have lived on earth there has been war, whether it is over food, land, or supplies. Every human has greed and eventually it will come out. Ever since the invention of chemical weapons and automatic weapons, war and terror has become much more of a evident problem with World War Two causing around 60 million deaths. In the book Interface Text by Joan Green she asks the…

cheaper than the other stores around where I live, I definitely did not receive the life of hardcore training on hand to hand combat by my father like Lois Lane, nor have I ever lived overseas; however being a military child has given me a copious amount of opportunities that I never would have received without my father’s decision serve his country his senior year. Without the proper title of a military kid I wouldn’t have the self-reliance I currently have, learned the importance and…

clear and I am completely focused. To many people running is a punishment, but to me it is the complete opposite. To me running is an escape from the world, something that saves me from drowning in the hectic world in which we live. I started running for sport when I was in third grade. The gym coach at my elementary school introduced me and a handful of other girls to a program called girls on the run, a program that trains young girls to run a 5K. I will never forget the feeling I felt at…

Unidentifiable thumps and clatters were heard in the kitchen. I sat crouched at the stop of the stairs with my brother, Nick, tears streaming down my face, barely able to catch my breath. I felt as if I were drowning in my tears. Nick sat next to me, trying to hold it together, telling me everything would be okay. Looking back, he was always the stronger of the two of us in tragic situations, such as this. How could a five and seven-year-old possibly have any clue what was about to happen? …

school, I decided to have a party with all my friends. My dad had purchased a blow screen and a projector so I could watch movies in the back with my friends. My parent told me I had a limit of 16 of kids, I could have over and I thought that was ridiculous and like any other rebellious teenager, I invited all my friends over and told them to invite whomever they wanted. Instead of 16 people over I ended up having around 60 kids from my grade show up, including a some kid from valley that I had…

When I was a little girl, I grew up with my parents being divorced. Not once did it ever bother me emotionally, but I did find myself wondering why was it that my parents had to be separated compared to other people’s parents. I lived with my father for two years. I soon ended up going to live with my mother. Life was always easy with her and quite memorable. I never imagined life without my mother. I had always pictured in my mind the rest of my childhood would be with her. I never once…

Book I have loved reading ever since I was a little girl. Many times my mom would have trouble pulling me back into reality if I was hooked on a new book. For me, reading as always been a way to escape reality; experience adventure, mystery, and romance without even leaving my house. I think the reason I love to read so much is because I can travel the world, see famous people, and hear stories of life in the past by just opening a book. These amazing objects can convey every possible emotion I…
