It all started when my guru gave me the ghungroo‚ on the ghungroo puja day. I looked at my parents and their eyes were filled with tears. They were so proud because‚ getting the ghungroo‚ is like a step taken forward‚ from our side‚ to promote our culture. The fact that my guru gave me the ghungroo‚ without a second thought‚ filled me with immense courage and determination. She could have refused to give me the ghungroo or said that I wasn’t ready‚ but she didnt. She was confident that I’ll do well

My entire life I have experienced the deepest desire to try to help people. I found myself always offering help throughout my school years and giving advice to my peers. I wanted to be a guidance counselor when I grew up because I knew I would be able to help shape people’s lives and provide hope for them. I have been a listening board for anyone in need and have been able to think out of the box for solutions to problems. This desire to counsel people occurs naturally in me and I decided to pursue

In Independance‚ Indianapolis March 1‚ 1847 I began the journey to Oregon with a couple of my good acquaintances Jermaine‚ Jesus‚ Chester‚ and Max. Everything we brought was written in our group list. As we started to head off we were accompanied by a group of girls in Illinois‚ they were also traveling to Oregon‚ they wanted help passing Cheyenne territory up ahead. We agree to escort them but they had to pay half of the fee for the wagon master. Their names were Edmel‚ Alaysa‚ Cheyenne‚ Arianna

Late August of 2017‚ Houston’s hurricane season was coming to an end. Still recovering from the brutal summer heat‚ no one had expected a storm with a magnitude that Hurricane Harvey carried. A rainstorm was scheduled to come for the weekend‚ but nothing worrisome. It wasn’t until the newscasters announced that this small tropical storm had turned into a category four hurricane‚ that people started to panic. Almost overnight‚ gas prices had nearly doubled and grocery store shelves were emptying.

Being an active member of a community is critical to creating a good learning atmosphere. The word community is sometimes overused and does not get the emphasis it desires. People want to feel apart of something and creating a functioning system is necessary for success. I have always had a love for working with a team and as a leader‚ I try to help others achieve their goals. If I attended Villanova‚ I would make the noun community become a verb by helping others‚ accepting others‚ and leading others

Have you ever been in a high intensity nerf war with your family? My family has them all the time. We split up into teams then go shoot each other with nerf guns. The battle takes place at night‚ and the lights are shut off making it hard to see‚ and much more difficult. My house has an upstairs and a downstairs with two stair cases on each side of the house. This makes it possible to have two ways to go up or down. First Thing I always do is get down to the gun creat before anyone else does because

Tracking The problem I was trying to solve was my unwillingness to complete my homework. I usually don’t complete before the due date‚ or if I feel I can get away with it I won’t do it at all. I planned to make a schedule that would not only help me study or complete work‚ but will train my mind to complete work. I made a system of “rewards and punishments” to help keep myself on track. The first week went just as I expected it to be‚ but with some unexpected gamechangers. Scheduling in study

First of all I would like to clarify that I do not intend to nor do I claim the boy is innocent. I’d like to bring to the table that the boy screamed “I’m going to kill you.” How many of us yell something like that to our parents? The phrase “I’m going to kill you” is said then the father ends up dead the same night just a couple hours later. I doubt that is a coincidence. The older gentleman who lives

Spring Break rolled around‚ same as always. My so-called friends ran off to get drunk or high or whatever it was they did down in Florida. I‚ like a sane person‚ went home and studied because I wanted an actual job instead of slinging fries for the rest of my life and getting a beer gut. Or I tried to study. You don’t skip three grades‚ get a 2400 on your SAT‚ and get into Princeton at sixteen if you’re stupid. But sitting in my old bedroom on the twin bed I’d finally outgrown‚ listening to the TV

Sunday‚ March 19‚ 2017 is a day I will never forget. A friend and I were at Rhino Coffee Downtown having some girl time and playing catch up. As I was sipping on my glass of prosecco‚ owner Andrew Crawford walked in and we spoke. After our initial greeting‚ he uttered five words that shattered my world‚ "They aren’t any oysters this year". I IMMEDIATELY knew what he was talking about. There was no question about it. Andrew had just burst my Shreveport Derby Day bubble by letting me know that I wouldn’t
