Ninth Doctor

connect with God. I read my Bible, devotional, and tried to pray, but I could hear Jesus talking back so I gave up. I sometimes talked to my Wyldlife leaders, but they were always with my old friends, so I felt disconnected from them too. For eighth and ninth grade, I acted like I had a good relationship with God, but I was actually really lonely. A few weeks after eighth grade ended, my…

1) “Tell me something about yourself” I stare at the page as a bead of sweat drips down my hot forehead, my eyes widening and head pounding. What is there about me which is special? Who am I. That’s not necessarily a question; rather an incomplete story. So let me tell you who I, Samar Moghal, am. There are not many things about myself which I really truly understand besides one fact. I am ambitious. If I set my mind to a goal I will fight until I can no longer fight. However, I was not always…

Seventh grade I simultaneously tapped my leg on the floor and my pencil to my desk. I looked around the room and examined all of my classmates. No one seemed as nervous as me. My teacher slid my test towards me and I felt my stomach drop as soon as I read the first couple of questions. I had no idea what any of the information was and I knew there was absolutely no way I was passing the test. What’s ridiculous is that even though I didn’t study, I felt bad for myself. “Are you okay?” my…

I have always been a high achiever, someone who wants to do well in what they do. I was homeschooled from first through eighth grade, and so I taught myself quite frequently. However, as I grew older, I began to think about college, and about where I will be by then. This led to thinking about if I will possess enough knowledge about both simple school related things, and dealing with a school setting. I had never had to sit through classes, or deal with the unique social setting of school.…

enjoyable school projects was assigned in my English class that year. We had to create a journal of fictional events, like we were reporters for national geographic. I did mine on sharks studying their behavior and attack patterns. It was a very fun experience and one that I look back at fondly. That year was not nearly as terrifying as I had originally thought. Seventh grade was much the same only I decided to join the band. Eighth grade I had something strange happen I had a teacher that…

When presented with stressful situations, I evaluate my surroundings and make decisions regarding my course of action based on priority. 2. When managing my time, I first calculate the timeframe that I have in which to complete my tasks, then prioritize them based on urgency. 3. I believe that the adjective that best describes me is "creative." I introduce different methods of completing certain tasks and enjoy experimentation with recipes and art projects. 4. The most challenging academic…

Even though people are constantly changing, there is still a sense of continuity in each and every person. Everyone has traits that may never change and will continue to…
