350 word limits Essay Question - Other than your Eagle Scout leadership service project, what service have you provided to your community during your high school years? During my high school years, I have primarily provided service through my participation in the Christiana Care VolunTeen program and through the various clubs that I lead. The Christiana Care VolunTeen program allows young adults to help serve at the hospital in various areas, often exposing teenagers to how a hospital operates. Specifically, I worked in the Outpatient Pharmacy, SurgiCenter, and Pathology/Histology Lab, assisting patients and doctors with their various needs and tasks. Throughout the two summers that I volunteered at the hospital, I helped fold several hundred jackets and comfort patients at the SurgiCenter, categorize inventory and replenish stock of various prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications in the Outpatient Pharmacy, and analyze and record data for the Pathology/Histology Lab. I worked a total of 102 hours, and I greatly enjoyed interacting with both the patients and doctors and contributing to real hospital work, as I knew that everything I did would help brighten a patient’s day or lessen a doctor’s workload.

In addition to my service in the hospital, I also participate in…

Number Three, A Commentary The other night I had this dream: I was walking slowly through a forest, and I was completely alone. This forest was covered in a thick, deep, emerald blanket of moss which, naturally, felt like velvet on the bottoms of my bare feet. I took in my surroundings and noticed that I was in the company of the most gargantuan, towering trees ones imagination could ever fathom. Their bark paraded around each trunk as if its only job was to absorb every foreign sound and…

My wife as usual prepared a gourmet meal from what seemed too be a can of beans and we started a campfire for the evening. S?mores, ghost stories, and being reminded how beautiful the night sky can be. It all seemed so peaceful. Then came the scream. As if she had been shot, my wife?s face went pale, she became speechless and began pointing into the woods. The raccoons had come for desert. As we all started taking pictures and throwing them food her panic attacked continued. She grabbed…

No One's POV. Izzy is in the medium size oak wood cabin. She is sharpening her sword that is made out of a light metal material and the sword itself is easy to maneuver. She's in a Japanese sitting style on the polished wooden floor of her bedroom, dipping her light silver and blue handled sword into a bucket full of water. She's closely staring at her sword to see if it is clean from the blood that had almost stained it from an earlier mission. The blood from the sword disperses into the once…

The Unknowns Even if I, personally, adore the idea of skyscrapers made out of wood, the sensation of warmth you get when you walk into a wooden building, or all the benefits this planet would have if we would start constructing using wood more often, I cannot ignore the fact that there are many questions to be answered regarding the subject. Questions like, how high can we build or how is the building going to be protected against fire-considering that the main material is wood after all-,…

Elliot Porter is a writer and photographer. He found new ways to present the natural world. When I looked at his pictures, I felt like I was standing right next to him as he was taking the picture. “Path in the Woods,” reminded me of camping with my family when I was a young girl. My mother would take us for long walks in the woods. I remember how quiet everything was and thinking we were the first ones to ever be on the path. When I saw “Path in the Woods,” the path appeared untouched by human…

The bird king has been taken, and agony sweeps the woods.” Phoebe reappeared with the cloaks. She buttoned hers, and gave Maia and Megan theirs. “If the bird king truly is gone, do you know who would take him?” asked Megan of her animal loving sister. Phoebe didn’t answer, instead she swung open the door to the outside, and laced up her boots. “This way,” she said. They marched through the forest to a circle of stones, and Phoebe sat down on one. “This, so I’ve been told, is the bird meeting…

Ash Lawn-Highland presents a typical Colonial, Georgian style façade that presents a red brick foundation, which runs along the structure’s base turning into fieldstone along the west wing. Attached to a stone stylobate, a single brick step runs half the length of the porch. Adjoining the stylobate are two wooden plinths, which support Tuscan columns. The Tuscan columns sustain the full weight of the portico’s pediment. Full-length wooden floorboards make up the remaining area of the porch,…
