winter night in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. On the fifth of January, I was introduced to the world, I was born on the coldest day of 1999, at a frigid -30 degrees. I’ve been blessed with the two greatest parents in the world that have been married for 19 years. My family was completed on May 24, 2001, when my little brother Mason was born. Mason and I were not given our names for any specific reason our parents just liked the names. James was my middle name that my parents had given me which came from…

Mrs. Anderson was my teacher for three years in middle school. Two at Central, and my last at Forest Park. She was my choir teacher. When I met her she was a taller, very pale, and a round lady. She was post pregnancy and was a regular gym goer to lose her baby weight. She wore glasses and her blonde hair was long enough for her to sit on. She was a very kind and timid woman, but when it was time to work, she meant business. Mrs. Anderson and I didn’t have a great start. I was sort of a problem…

The government did a good job in reducing the percentage of daily smokers, they have increased the tax of 40 percent in 2013 and had continuous three 20 percent increase in 2014 to 2016 (Parliament New Zealand, 2016). And they should continue to set high tax rates to discourage people from smoking, especially the younger generation. Another is to make sure that there are no cigarettes to be sold…

Seventh grade, my second year now at what I thought to be the worst school in the world. On back to school night I met a man who would change my perspective on life completely, that man being Brandon Lilly. Henry Adams once said “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” At a mere five-foot four he appeared to be a kid minus the burly lumberjack beard that he possessed. I remember being skeptical at first because I had never had a male teacher before. All of my…

When I first came to yellin I was intimidated because it was such a big school with new opportunities. This essay will explain my experience throughout my years here in yellin. The first grade I will talk about is 6th grade. In 6th grade I had pretty good grades, and teachers. I had a big friend group that was full of fun people. This was the year that I first tried out for drama. I was a little nervous to try out at first because I knew not many people make it in 6th grade. Then i found out…

I have been conforming towards other people since the day I understood the concepts of how to be your own person; in other words, having your own style. I have two older siblings; a brother and a sister, and my sister is only a year older than I am. This tempted me to want to be just like her, which she did not enjoy as much as I did. I would try to be friends with her friends and of course at younger ages, we did not get along, so she would tend to push me out of her life. This…
