It is not often that Portland sees snow‚ but when we do the whole city pauses. Schools are closed‚ roads are treated and somebody‚ somebody always gets into an accident. Sometimes the snow melts just as quickly as it falls and other times it leaves you wondering if there will ever be an end in sight. On a scale of zero to ten in snow preparedness‚ Portland is probably at a two or three. Still‚ everyone loves a snow day and and its promise of a break. Do not be disillusioned though‚ as one’s love

The day dawned bright and sunny. It was ideal for a picnic by the sea. We quickly packed some refreshments and swimming costumes‚ not forgetting our cameras and deck chairs. Excitedly‚ we drove off from the city of George Town through the picturesque fishing village near Tanjung Tokong in Penang‚ waiting to catch a glimpse of the sea.

My classmates were reluctant to participate in our group projects‚ afraid of failure‚ and not willing to take risks. So I took control of group projects‚ always. I entered high school and my perception of leadership changed. Now‚ I was in control of not one but two clubs: French and Bible. Organizing fairs and service projects for both clubs for them to be ranked as high as possible on the school website was

My journey with skates and ice began when I was 7 years old and continued until the State High School tournament in 12th grade‚ which was the climax of my journey. Though hockey is a sport‚ I didn’t see it that way‚ nor did I just play it‚ I lived for it. Each day I pushed myself physically‚ mentally and emotionally from sun up to sun down‚ whether I was on‚ or off the ice. I had to prepare myself in every aspect to help lead

time before walking into the gate of the airport. My feeling at that moment was ambiguous. A part of me was sacred and did not know what I was going to face in the year that lies ahead. However‚ another part of me commanded my legs to move on. I was about to board a jumbo jet on its way to the United States. I knew it was going to be one of the most wonderful years of my life.

I became a sophomore just one year ago and I have enjoyed every bit of the High School. I’ve met new friends and I have seen some old good friends. I have appreciated what I have right now in school‚ grade and teacher wise. All of the teachers have been extremely helpful throughout the time I have been in High school. For the first few months of High school I had some bummed out times. I was bummed out because I was disappointed that I didn’t have any classes with any of my friends. I figured if

since I was in seventh grade‚ but the height of it all really hit me in high school. I think some of it might have been due to the fact that I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. If I’m going to be honest‚ I was so depressed I didn’t think I would even make it to my graduation‚ so wondering about my future was just wishful thinking to me. My friend Morgan was the only person who knew what I was going through. One day she told me that she thinks I should start seeing someone to help me‚ but

High School; which may be my biggest fear‚ but also could be my biggest accomplishment. Looking up I can see myself helping others and making their dreams come true‚ including mine.

ability to read people; I had a good feeling about this guy. He called two days before Memorial Day and ordered a silk cemetery piece for his mother and one for his father. Not too unusual‚ since my sister and I owned a small flower shop in our hometown and it is common for out-of-state customers to have us deliver their orders to graves they are not able to visit. The fact one piece was to be delivered 25 miles away‚ wasn’t a request we had every day. His mother was buried in our town’s largest
