My mom has always taught me and my brother the concept of things I want versus things I need‚ and I have always admired how hard my mother works to provide for me and my brother with love and support for our lives. This scholarship opportunity would greatly take some burden off of my mother. The financial support that college requires is extensive and has always been on my mind throughout my senior year. My college decision could possibly be a decision between

“My heart started beats up very high‚ like someone has put huge stone over my head. Every time I end up with question how and why.

The first day of high school was soon approaching and I could not stop thinking about how I will be feeling when I step foot onto Arvin High School. Summer vacation seemed too short and I definitely wasn’t ready for the start of freshmen year. Shortly after I was telling myself‚ “I can’t wait to get out of here!” I knew that my decision to be here today would help me in the long run for my career‚ but I had no motivation. I remember my first days of high school were the worst. Everything that

January of my freshmen year. These same kids who bullied me in middle school were acting like my good friends cheering me on whether it was my failing effort in Gotcha or chanting “chug‚ chug‚ chug” as I ruined my small stomach. Just hours ago‚ I had slowly crept on the bus‚ book in hand‚ to be dissected by the eyes of 50 upperclassmen‚ swiftly dismissed as I scampered to a seat in the very front‚ feeling very alone. I hoped and prayed that no one would ask for my name. All the memories of my lisp and

I felt myself emerging from being a boy into a young man. As mom pulled up to the college in our rented SD car‚ I took a gasp of fresh air. I saw many cars with students pulling up to the campus with curious on lookers like myself. My mom entered the long lines that moved as slow as a snail; it felt as though what usually would take an hour to do took forever. Mom and my aunt setup my room‚ took me along with my siblings to dinner‚ gave me their long speech and said their goodbyes. Oh yes

to the slamming of the front door‚ remembering that it was Sunday‚ my dad’s favorite day of the year‚ the first day of hunting season. I jump out of bed and stumble down the stairs waking everybody else in the house up. Looking out the window I see my dad pull away in his big red pickup truck with the sleeve of his orange hunting jacket hanging out the window. Hoping he brings home dinner‚ I start to make myself breakfast‚ I make my dad’s favorite; eggs with crispy bacon. As I’m cooking breakfast I

But I’m different- I swear. You just don’t know the whole story. It started when I walked into this wretched class. The worst thing in the history of bad things ever happening to people happened- I tripped. I know‚ oh the horror! But that’s not just it. I tripped. On my TIED shoelaces. And fell. And people stared. And Aaaughhhghgh

Haley was so nervous‚ it was her first day in Kinder. She was this pretty little girl with fluffy brown hair and amazing big brown eyes; yet‚ she had always been an insecure girl. She constantly thought to herself‚ “what will other children think of me? What if I do not make friends? What if no one likes me?” as she looked for her classroom this was all she could think of. Then she saw the sign on a door that said “Kinder” with a blue butterfly. As she entered‚ every head in the room turned towards

I personally don’t believe that college should be free. Making it free would only serve to limit the value of the education while filling colleges with students that have no business/need there. College would become nothing more than a 4 year extension of high school if it were free. As things are now‚ society needs about 25% of the population to have a college degree for the jobs that require one and about 30% of the population has a degree. As a result‚ you hear from a lot of people that believe

He is a hard ass and will show you that you are the only one who is going to take the necessary step to a powerful move. President Michael J. Sorrell was that man‚ I was given an assignment on the first day meeting him and it was the first time I have ever received an F on the first day of class. He teaches Introduction to Quinnite Servant leadership and he is very political man. This is also the same day that I
