It’s strange, ever since I first woke up I never realized just how enticing frozen water really was. I mean. . . I guess, I have always kind of had this pull towards ice every since I first tried it with a couple of friends of mine, but it wasn’t until saturday morning that I didn’t want it. I needed it! I’m scared, I messed up. I should have never tried to fit in, but now that I have, I’m hooked. Now it’s all I can think about. Shaved ice, ice cubes, ice flakes, gourmet, half cubes, and even…
Whats the dumbest thing you’ve ever done? We are all human and we all make mistakes. We have all pushed a door that clearly says pull. We have all said something we weren’t supposed to. We have all done something stupid we cringe at the thought of it. The dumbest thing I’ve ever done? That’s easy, give my heart to someone who didn’t deserve it. Now I’m not entirely 100 percent sure I was in love, but whatever it was—whenever it ended it still hurt as bad. It’s crazy how someone can become so…
this course have really solidified why I took this course in the first place. The Holocaust has always been one of the parts of history I wanted to always learn more about and middle school history classes never went as in depth as I wish they would. Now, though, I’ve heard from firsthand Holocaust survivors and a child of Holocaust survivors. I’m going to try and put into words how these discussions have affected me and what they really meant. It was, obviously, an honor to have these women…
interpersonal talents and skills in a child, no institution can or ever will compare with, or effectively substitute for, the home 's potential for positive influence” – Stephen Covey. This quote is true for me because my home life has had a positive influence on my life. I value what my parents think of me over what anyone else thinks so I try my best to make them proud. ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬I have been shaped into who I am today by many events that I have had no control over. My parents being lenient with…
freshman year was an absolute nightmare. I was already nervous enough because it was a new and bigger school, there would be unfamiliar faces, and possibly even more work and responsibility. Of course, who wouldn’t be nervous. Who ever isn’t nervous is simply hiding it. The first day came around the corner and I was a nervous wreck, but I was very very excited to see my best friends Lauren and Max. The first few classes that I had weren’t that bad. In fact, I had my best friends for 2 classes.…
you’re probably going to be hurt by what I say. I have always hated knowing more than i should. but ever since i can remember, that is all I’ve known (way too much) because of this i have this problem where i subconsciously blame you for ruining my childhood. That makes it sound very dramatic and I’m not trying to be. It wasn’t horrible.. and i only figured this out last year while writing an essay. If you had never told me the things about my mom i never would have known them, and I’m sure…
confused. You could have had pretty much anyone! There are tones of girls who were all over you. Most of them are way prettier then me, more interesting; just more everything. Probably less crazy, less sad, less miserable then me by a million times. I'm just an average person in an average world. You, you are a planet in an amazing Galaxy. I don't understand how a person like you could love someone like me. I don't understand why you choose me.. I guess you see something in me that I don't. But…
and is ordering me to come with him. I can’t bare to look at his face after he told Ludwig to blow up Adelle’s house. I feel like he did that on purpose, like he knew Adelle lived there. I’m starting to really hate Hitler, he’s been rude to me ever since the 14th. Our food rations have been super small for the past week, and I haven’t been eating. I’m getting weaker, and weaker, which is a good thing. I’ll be too weak to accompany Hitler to Paris. I am smart. I found a newspaper article on the…
Good afternoon, Marissa; I’d like to apologize for getting off on such bad footing. I take full responsibility for my part in the sour nature of our connections, and accept the fault greatly lays in my lap. Though I’d understand if you chose not to read the contents of this note, I hope you take the time to read it for the benefit of Luke and you in the future. I hope to open communication and better our chances of working together in Luke’s best interest, as well as open the chances of any…
Have you ever had one of the worst people in your life become the best role model you have ever had? My whole life I just wanted my father to be there for me and love me like he loved my younger siblings, But I never felt what that was like. I wanted to be more of a priority instead of being shoved to the side like I was a burden to him. I thought I wanted to grow up and be like my father, but I found out that I didn’t. I learned more about who I wanted to be as a man, and as a father in my own…
