Wonder How would you feel if one day your parents decided it was time for you to start school, with facial deformity, after being homeschooled your entire life? This is exactly how August Pullman felt in R.J Palacio’s “Wonder”. Many would argue that Auggie’s experiences at his school, Beecher Prep, had a negative impact on his life. I, on the other hand, believe it had a positive impact. In fact, I believe that Auggie going to school changed his life for the better. I have reason to believe…

the testing area, my dad gave me a thumbs up and a big smile once again. I gave him the same one in return, but mine was with less pep in it. I listened to the voice over once again and still, I could not seem to stay focused. My attention switched to the walls and the old license plates again. It took me approximately 10 minutes to finish the first section of the test. Consequently, I still failed by one question. I rejoined my dad and shook my head to give him the indication that I failed…

Sometimes all Nico needs is a little push. An actual one. Right between the shoulderblades to be exact. Thank you Annabeth. I’d noticed Nico staring at Reyna for weeks now. I always notice more than is good for me. Like, say, one day, I noticed Nico standing just the right distance away from Reyna that a good push would send him toppling into her. Most likely he’d hit her. So I decided to play Matchmaker. I reached diagonal from where I was sitting with Percy and pushed right between the…

community, especially the youth. It sets an example for others and creates tangible effects on the community. Because community service is essential to create a good society. There are many different volunteering opportunities, whether is weekly or just one hour of your time. Any type of community service helps. I currently volunteered at the New York Botanical Garden as greeter and now as…

was okay with how critical my parents were about everything I didn’t and the cruel things they’d say to me and about me. I was just so sick of it all and I was ready to end it. Slowly, I put one foot up on an intersection of the wooden stakes, which created a perfect foot hold. I slowly pull the other one up, with only my hands holding onto the rails to keep me balanced. My legs are shaking but I swear to God I’m going to jump. I am so caught up in the moment that I don’t even notice the…

to the park where I can be alone. ~ I push the snow off the bench and plop down. The park is quiet and lonely; no one in sight except for me. I look at the jungle gym and study the frost on the bars. I wish for a damn miracle. I twirl my foot in the snow making an imperfect circle. I switch positions and feel the papers in my back pocket; I take them out and look at them. The one thing that stands out the most is 'parent signature ' in bold. Just thinking about walking in that house makings…

it was meant to. I believe that my speech flowed well it was very easy to move from one point to the next because they fit together nicely. If I did it again I would add another transition in between when I was talking about his early life and Lucille. I was thinking about these two things as both being part of the early part of his career, but I do not think that I portrayed this and it seemed choppy moving from one to the next. The only transition I had was between main points of his early…

I have travelled near and far, and to places in between but the best journey of all is the one that I took with HH. What a bold character he was, a beautiful musician. My journey began shortly after his but mine lasted much longer. In fact, I am still travelling. Oh how magical it all has been and how empowered I feel now. HH and I belonged to the same organization, well known as The League. I am still a part of it, HH is not due to his struggles with confidentiality and integrity. But enough of…
