finishing this school year. You have finished the year with good grades and maybe made new friends‚ just like every other kid in the school. Is this how you want to be remembered‚ by being like everyone else? A legacy is how you will be remembered by for what you did in your life. The legacy you leave will leave a huge impact to your life and to others. At the end of 8th grade‚ I want to remembered for thinking outside the box‚ the person who was willing to go above the beyond. If I were to leave a

When people hear how I quit my job as a lawyer after six years of corporate work‚ they assume I burned out and fled the nine-to-five (or‚ more accurately‚ the nine-to-midnight)‚ leaving contracts‚ negotiations and lawsuits behind. In reality‚ I long had aspired to travel the world for a year‚ inspired by a documentary I saw in high school about trans-Siberian trains. Staring at the screen‚ watching birch trees and snow and a railroad track running for thousands of kilometres‚ I resolved to take the

When her daughter asks her why she cuts off the ends of the roast‚ the mother says she does it because her mother did it. When the daughter asks her grandmother to clarify the tradition of cutting off the the ends of the roast‚ the grandmother gives a very simple explanation: I cut off the ends of the roast because that is the only way

teaching in an urban school? Since the beginning of the teaching career I have had a passion for teaching students in an urban school setting. My dream‚ if I could do anything I wanted too‚ is to begin a program for older students from urban schools who want to go to college‚ or who want to do something with their life‚ but they do not think they can do it. I plan to help them in any way I can meet their goals and find scholarships so they can do whatever they decide they want to do. I want to be their

The Day I broke my ankle Several years ago‚ I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. I had never broken a bone before or been to the emergency room. It was a very scary and painful experience. I will never forget it and hope I never have another experience like it. This is how it happened. I went out the door of my house and was on my way to work. There is a walkway and a short stairway with four or five steps between my door and the sidewalk. I remember that I was wearing a new pair

Ken was my voice teacher. I never admired anyone more than him. He meant the world to me. It would be safe to say that we did not have a typical teacher/student relationship. I was infatuated with him. He was tall dark and had the voice of an angel. But he was eleven years older than I was‚ and he was my teacher. I learned from him‚ I confided in him‚ and I trusted him. I never pictured myself being with him. I never dreamt he would think of me as a ’woman’ and not just a love-stricken seventeen

We are Woodrow Wilson Senior High "Home of the Mighty Mules." Being a school mascot isn’t something you exactly plan to do during your high school years. But somehow I managed to do it and love it more than anything. I didn’t exactly choose to be our mascot‚ it happened due to luck. One day during my freshman year we had a practice fire

again… My parents’ divorce crippled me. Endless trips from house to house coupled with anxiety over my personal future as well as my parents’ stole my attention. As a result‚ my overall academic performance significantly weakened. For the majority of my high school career I dealt with my Father neglecting my two older brothers and myself. It seemed normal for him to leave unannounced for multiple days with minimal food in the fridge. Whenever I asked about his whereabouts he would state that I am merely
