Straight edge

The year I was six years old was a year that changed me forever. What happened to me in that year most adults do not have to face until they are much older. This was a year which started with much promise and end with great heartache for our family of eight; to which I was the second youngest. On October 23, 1976 is a day I will never forget.

how much tape we use to put the rocket together. We want the rocket to glide better in the air, so there is minimum resistance against the atmosphere.

The nose of the rocket will be the first part that slices through the air. The nose is an important part because if it is too flat, it will resist the air…

Lunacy: The Portrait of a Student Sylvia Plath once wrote, “The floor seemed wonderfully solid. It was comforting to know I had fallen and could fall no further.” I wish I could say my descent into madness was graceful, but yet that wasn’t the case. I had hit rock bottom. Actually I had cannonballed into it. I was a shadow of a girl then, but I wasn’t always like that. I felt on top of the world, I had graduated 20 out of 639, and I had gotten into my dream school. My collapse taught me that it…

As a learner, I have to be hungry for knowledge. What are the factors that make me a good learner and also lead me to Foothill University? *The factors would be my ambition, my own family background, and the U.S. education system.
