I have always had very neat hand-writing. I strongly believe that cursive helped me develop my hand-writing abilities‚ and possibly even my reading abilities. I know that it sounds odd‚ but I kind of sucked at writing until I was introduced to cursive in the first or second grade. My writing was messy and indistinct‚ but that changed once I learned to write in cursive. Based on what I have written so far‚ I am sure that you have concluded that I do in fact believe that cursive should be taught in

Last year‚ I went to Pinetree Preschool‚ where there is nothing but young children. That was an experience I enjoyed and found so valuable and opened my eyes to the potential and possibilities of children. This year‚ I chose the complete opposite of Pinetree and I volunteered at Primrose‚ a retirement home for people who suffer from alzheimer’s or dementia. At Primrose‚ I saw a completely different side of human life. That may seem like an exaggeration but I tend not to spend much time with people

In August of 2014 I traveled to Alajuela‚ Costa Rica‚ with a missions team from my church. Our team’s purpose was to aid the Rice and Beans Ministry.

He conveniently failed to mention that some days we might return to base camp with our tail tucked

At the psychic fair I attended two presentations; one that was about sound healing and the other one was about using past regression to realize your true potential. Before the presentations I had a chance to go around to most of the booths and talk to the person who own them and each one had many things to say about the items they were selling but couldn’t prove that the items actually worked. The healing crystals booth tried to convince me that their crystals worked by grabbing a crystal and pointing

My mother‚ specifically‚ has always said I was an exceptionally curious child growing up and still continue to be. Like most children‚ I too had a lot of questions but inquiring about things like culture and philosophy had finally proved to be tiresome for my parents. So‚ I turned to Science hoping to satiate my unwavering need to know. On one hand‚ there was Biology and Physics that greatly enthralled me and then there was craftsmanship in calligraphy that I had so carefully managed to develop

Standing on the first tee at the golf course I began surveying the hole in front of me. Looking left I could see the tall green trees and out of bounds just on the other side of them. To the right hole 5 coming back towards me and the dessert. Then right down the middle the green fairway with trees lining each side of it. The wind was blowing just enough to have to bend down and toss some grass up to see the direction of it. My eyes and head were moving every direction possible. To any one that wasn’t

When I hear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s quote‚ I think about my experience is my AP Calculus course. Up until my senior year of high school‚ I naturally succeeded in my math courses. In my first trimester of AP Calculus‚ I struggled with understanding the course material. But more importantly‚ my grade suffered. My first instinct was to drop the course and enroll in an easier class. I told my mom I had scheduled an appointment with the guidance counselor and I planned to enroll in the course

During my time at the Honors College I have acquired a new perspective on service-learning‚ viewing it as more than just a requirement for a course. Four semesters have taught me the imperative nature and necessity of service learning for academic and personal growth. What I enjoyed most from my service-learning was how every semester builds upon previous experiences‚ thus‚ creating a firmly grounded foundation in service for years to come. For the Spring 2016 semester‚ I set out to perform
