On a fourteen-hour plane ride on the first day of the new year, I passed through the skies of several countries, into various time zones, and over an ocean. The plane touched down, and I found myself with ten other University of Missouri students on the first day of our two-week service-learning experience in Chaing Rai, Thailand. Not only was I an ocean away, in another time zone, and fourteen hours away from America, but I was also standing still in a bustling airport full of audible sounds…

As a part of our summer reading assignment, we were asked to choose a novel that sparked our interest, whether it would give us an academic or personal enjoyment. While going over the list of books given to me, one specific publication appealed to me, that was "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chobsky. The description clearly indicated that I would enjoy reading the novel because it related to me and my soon-to-be freshman experience. "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" grasped my…

The other applicants and I have been in band from the very beginning. We have been dedicated and devoted to making this program the absolute best it can be. In the 6th and 7th grade I remember getting frustrated because of being taking out of band for my dyslexia tutoring. Reading music was never an issue, I would only have issues when reading books. Band showed me that there was more to school than just Math and English, I began to see the larger world that was there for me to learn about…

That’s why college-level writing means to be succinct, writing less but saying more is crucial in keeping the readers’ interested.

I will also took a picture of a panting for my Dr office that I will post and maybe you all can help me figure out which lines are used in it. I found the expressive line…

In "Does Writing Affect Writing" by Michaela Cullington, Michaela discussed and conducted several experiments on how textspeak is hindering the writing ability of student in formal writing. Ever since texting was invented, it began to spread like wild fire among teenagers. Textspeak was common in texting, it allowed people to express their ideas in fewer words. As a result, teachers noticed rapid decline in student’s writing quality, blaming textspeak was the cause. On the other hand, some…

Have you ever heard of the famous historical author Edgar Allen Poe? We have the opportunity to see his stories performed live and I think this would an excellent field trip. His stories are well known and taught at many grades so this trip would be educational and we could pay for the tickets ourselves. This field trip would not only be a fun experience but also a learning experience. I chose Accelerated English this year and so I will not have as much literature as other students. This…
