Write a Short Essay on How You'Ve Changed over the Past Ten Years
Winter Wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.
Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the alligators knock him down.
When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

(All right you Chipmunks! Ready to sing your song?
-I'll say we are!
-Yeah!
-Let's sing it now!
Okay, Simon?
-Okay!
Okay, Theodore?
-Okay!
Okay, Alvin? Alvin? ALVIN!
-OKAY!!!)

Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
Want a plane that loops the loop
Me, I want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.

(Okay fellas get ready.
That was very good, Simon.
-Naturally.
Very good Theodore.
-Ahhh.
Ah, Alvin, you were a little flat, watch it.
Ah, Alvin. Alvin. ALVIN!
-OKAY.)

Want a plane that loops the loop
I still want a hula hoop
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.
We can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late.

(Very good, boys
-Lets sing it again! Yeah, lets sing it again!
No, That's enough, lets not overdo it
-What do you mean overdo it?
-We want to sing it again!
Now wait a minute, boys
-Why can't we sing it

    Omar Bradley once said, “If we continue to develop our technology without wisdom or prudence, our servant may prove to be our executioner.” In the 1950’s people felt much fear because there was tension between America and the Soviet Union for a nuclear war. Rad Bradbury wrote science fiction stories about what could happen in the future if this was taken to an extreme. The science fiction story, “There Will Come Soft Rains,” by Ray bradbury, shows a world in which an atomic bomb has killed everyone and a technologically advanced house keeps going. The Soviet Union and America were in a standoff but no one really fought.…

    Many people would say that growing up with parents who could not speak english would be to my disadvantage, but I disagree. Growing up I always believed it to be exhausting having to translate and never really feeling normal. I believed it to be dragging and many times protested against it, but besides it being tiring, I also felt embarrassed. Yeah embarrassed of having to deal with my parents and not being able to communicate with them like other kids did with their parents. As I grew older the issue only grew because at that point I began to resent them for putting me through what I believed to be embarrassing moments of confusion, but all of this changed when I finally realized that my parents did the best they could with what they had.…

    One of the main problems that the country was facing during Reconstruction was Wartime. President Lincoln issued a Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction, which offered Southerners to take an oath of loyalty to the Union and freedom’s legitimacy in December 1863. This idea was known as the Ten Percent Plan. It provided the voting population so they could set up a loyal government. By 1864, Louisiana and Arkansas states recognized a Unionist government. In 1864, congress declined to seat the Unionists voted to the House and Senate from Louisiana and Arkansas (Divine, page 368). A group known as the Radical Republicans wanted black rights protected and therefore would not engage in readmission of southern states. In July 1864, Congress passed…

    The amount I have changed as a writer is unbelievable. The biggest change is that I no longer loathe writing a paper. I feel as though it comes more naturally than before, and I can now make complete sentences easier than ever before. Another thing that has changed is how quickly I can write a paragraph before I would struggle getting a cohesive thought on a page, but now writing a paragraph that relates all together in some way is easier. All of this brings me onto my next point.…

    When it comes to writing, I become seriously stressed. I will put off all writing as long as I can. I can become physically sick from the amount of destress that essays, journals, and letters cause me. Since I put these assignments off for so long, they usually end up sloppy and not proofread. Taking this class was in hopes of remedying that as well as helping me to become a better writer. While I have learned a few things about writing from this class, like narrative line and that commas need to go before connector words in order to connect independent clauses, I do not feel any better about writing. As I put these words into my word processor, I feel sick and have put this off for too long. My writing process has not become any less stressful.…

    One of my largest life decisions was making the switch. The switch changed my life in multiple ways. It introduced me to several important people in my life including friends and coaches. The switch also gave me numerous opportunities I would not have had otherwise. The switch was not easy to adjust to at the time, but I will never regret it. It has become a major decision in my life and now is a significant part of my memories. The switch occurred in eighth grade when I transitioned from basketball to volleyball. I have been playing basketball since I could walk. It has been such a major element in my life. I played in every league I could and whenever I could. From playing in summer and winter leagues to just shooting some hoops in the driveway…

These three events have completely changed my life and have made me a better person overall and will always leave a good imprint in my memory.…

    1 Timothy 4-12 states (ESV), “Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.” This stage was the most influential stage of growth and development in my life. During adolescent years, healthy development is imperative. In adolescent years, the frontal cortical develops in which contributes to the refinement of reasoning, goal and priority setting, impulse control, and evaluating long and short term rewards (Crews, He, & Hodge, 2007, p. 189). My adolescence years brought much hardship; however, it displayed my strength and resilience. Facing death at this age was not fully understandable. Death was my biggest fear and this fear forever changed my life the day my grandmother passed away rocking my foundation. Still, after 17 years since her passing the tears fall from my eyes every year on her birthday. She was my rock and for many years overcoming this lost seem unattainable. Revelation 21:4 (KJV) says, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are…
