My first football season By: Dylan Jackson Today was the day to pick up my football equipment. I could not hold in my excitement‚ it was a Saturday and my first practice was on a Tuesday. I was outside chucking the ball in the air and catching it when my mom came out. “It’s time to go‚” she said “OK” I exclaimed as I dropped the football and sprinted to the van. When my mom and I arrived I tried on my gear and left to sign up‚ the guy at the signup place signed me up he gave me a football and a

I had to do good. After weeks of practice‚ it was the day before the first game. Then‚ I wasn’t really worried about the game. But that night‚ I started to think about it. I was really excited and anxious for the game the next day. At the same time though‚ I was nervous for some reason just thinking about it. I didn’t

My first job was a “young boy living in the suburbs” cliche; a paperboy. Entering the sixth grade‚ I undertook the responsibility of delivering the biweekly newspapers for the Suburban Trends‚ a local newspaper‚ to the nearby houses in my neighborhood. I would embark on this mission to deliver the papers on Wednesday afternoons and Sunday mornings‚ even on holidays. Every other week on Wednesday afternoon I would collect the $2.30 of payment from the houses that owed money‚ but many houses would

What was your first experience in high school ? What thoughts were running through your head at the time? My head felt like it was going to pop off my body. Foremost‚ I grew up with parents who moved from the Dominican Republic and never had a college education. The time and dedication they take to do their jobs is incredible. There are times where I don’t get to see my father for weeks being he’s too focused on his job. On one occasion my father had to work for almost 48 hours straight due to a

My Experienced In Essex County College The first year of college for a young man or women can be a monumental step in their life. In my case it was. It was the first time that someone in my household went to a college in the United States‚ so the pressure was on. It felt like having the spotlight in a performance just waiting for your work to get judged by others. I was not necessarily scared to be judge by my family members‚ but I was a little worried about the transition from the skate free

These students have never participated in a standardized test‚ so it was not only their first experience on a multi-hour test‚ but also at the same time it was my first experience testing brand new students in the school.

Although I immensely relished learning psychology‚ I can say without a doubt what I least liked about my learning experience was all the stress that I felt. College is supposed to be no cakewalk‚ I know‚ but the stress certainly took me by surprise. I didn’t expect to have so much due in such a small period of time. For example‚ I recall near the end of the 3rd semester at community college I had three major papers due all within a few days of each other. Although I had completed most of the work for
