This scholarship will be vital in pursuing my further education. With the very high rates in which a college education cost today every penny counts. Coming from a poor family every penny counts for everything we do day in and day out. A family living from paycheck to paycheck it is extremely difficult to pay for college.

For me I didn’t really have challenges while obtaining my degree my challenges were deciding which field I wanted to go in. Having a degree in Business you can go into a lot of fields, but knowing which one best suits you is the hardest part.

After I picked a field there was nothing left for me to do but…

I kept my hands close to my sides in a last ditch effort to fight my natural inclination to swing my arms at the ball, like the years of tennis…

This is a great online journal entry. Simply for the fact that it relates to my life so much and all throughout my high school years, I was bullied just because I didn't talk to people. Honestly, it was just because I didn't feel comfortable around my classmates. How I am at home is completely different than how I'm at school; Im fun, wild, silly, etc. Why didn't I act the same at school? Well I would have to know that person for a long time before letting them know how the real Nathalie is. My…

Nalani Dodd Mr. Boillat English 12 Semester 2 23 March 2017 Choosing a Career Path Most teenagers during their high school life are often asked quite a few times what they are going to do after high school. A lot of high school kids answer with college, straight to the workforce, or “I’m not sure what I’m going to do”. Most of them don’t think about the careers that they want to go into, and what requirements are needed to pursue the job. When I was young and throughout high school I often…
