START I

Before I was born, my parents went on their honeymoon in California. Their stories were filled with amazing places, while their pictures showed the wonderful sights. I love when we sit on the front porch swing with the picture album and talk about their trip for hours. I can clearly imagine every little detail that my parents share with me. Their story has always fascinated me since the first time they told me the wild adventure. They had the most crazy adventures from skydiving to swimming…

college can be a daunting chapter for a young person to start in their lives. They are thrown in with people they don’t know, to live in a place that is foreign to them and are expected to know how to take care of themselves. This scares a lot of people. Change scares people. A lot of times, the people who come out on top are those who are able to handle change, who are able to adapt and overcome the obstacles. There are many ways to do this. I chose to look at things with an incontrovertible…

give you the power of a healer, which will renight the herds. Or, you get to be the destroyer, the one who will leave the pegasi of Anok a terrible fate. Luckily star becomes a healer, at least he thinks so, “But what if I am not the healer, what if I am the destroyer?” “ Then I will break my wings and jump off a cliff.”. Star already feels the pressure. Star has to believe he is the healer to be the healer, he can’t be the foal he once was, he has to fight for his herd.…

Marcos de Colon, Honduras and we woke up to the sound of the rooster crowing. Kayla, my roommate, and I decided to head down to the courtyard, where the kitchen is to see if Gina had started the coffee. As we walked down the stairs, we saw our principal, Brother Davis, was writing down out itinerary for the day. We headed straight for the delicious soul-warming coffee. As we enjoyed our coffee, Kayla and I watched as our fellow classmates started to wake up. Every few minutes one would walk…

monkey-see-monkey-do 's later, that child, now a young adult is ready to start making choices on their own. All of the lessons their parents or guardians has taught them, now need to come into play. But, even after over fifteen years of hearing lecture after lecture on holding the doors open for the elderly, or not pushing other children down…

A few summers back, my family and I took a trip out to Flagler Beach, Florida, not too far from Daytona. A few days into the vacation, the girls had gone out for a shopping trip, so, because there was a slight drizzle, my Dad and I decided to just chill out and watch some TV until the weather decided to calm down. This was a vacation that will never be forgotten. My ears perk up as I notice the quieting of the rain against the window. I get up and walk over, pushing the roughly sewn curtain to…

talk and forcing smiles when I decided I would spend lunch in the art room. “Where are you going?” Miss Moss the English teacher stopped me in the hallway. “The art room, that is okay, right?” I replied, tapping my thumbs nervously on my thigh. She shook her head at me disapprovingly for skipping lunch, however she allowed me to pass. The door to the art room clicked as I pulled down on the handle. My heart rate slowed as I observed the paintings on…

“NCAA Division I athletes still receive expert coaching (that could lead to a professional career as an athlete or as a coach), on-campus housing, frequent meals, non-uniform clothing, free medical consultation, free access to state-of-the-art training facilities and…

selfish vain people of the Russian revolution. These people cared nothing for change and sided with any country that could offer them provisions and benefits. I am a person who believes in change and places others needs above my own, I consider myself to be very selfless. By way of comparison my beliefs and morals are nothing like this characters. I shall be contrasting and comparing myself with Mollie in three distinctive ways. The significance to comparing myself to such a character is to…

One of the aspects I find strong is the organization of the essay and the smooth transition between the main ideas. The author has a very attractive start, which sets up the credibility of his argument that Flint is stereotyped. He began by stating some sentences from a philosopher’s speech on graduate school, which, also, addressed how…
