I came to school‚ and I immediately started walking toward my locker‚ which was near the ASB room. As I was walking‚ I saw a paper messily taped to the dark blue door of the ASB room. I was certain it had to be the list of people who made ASB. Nervousness started creeping up my spine like a snake; however‚ I was wrong. It wasn’t a so-called “cut” list; it was just the schedule

artists are brought together in the same way. I see graffiti as a way for people to have their voices heard. I believe it’s a way for things to be recognized when people are afraid to voice them. To me‚ graffiti is an art. People who paint draw on paper and have their work in a museum for people to come and look at. Graffiti artist do the same thing writing on walls and subways‚ even though it’s considered “defacing government property”. When they write on subways‚ I see that as the artists giving

The inevitable transition from childhood to adulthood is a journey that tests a teenager to their capacities. Most adults cherish childhood innocence. Parents teach their children that the world is a perfect‚ Utopian place. When children grow up‚ they realize this theory is nothing but a false‚ sugarcoated take on the realities of life. The protagonist in The Catcher in the Rye‚ Holden Caulfield‚ suffers with his transition from childhood to adulthood. His teenage years prove are one of the most

One is on the screen and the other two are on paper. And they both have the same motive to express feelings‚ stories and problems. Throughout the essay by Mr. Kain‚ he wrote many things that really stood out to me. “The stuff of poetry‚ story and drama‚ written by a master of the language‚ helps

Independence and Adulthood I was nourished with love from my umbilical cord in my mother’s warm womb‚ spoon fed when I was able to feed and hand held when I could walk; I was akin to my parents from my conception‚ as I was their child. But‚ soon I was riding a bicycle by myself while my father stood and watch‚ I was placed on the school bus by myself while my mother waved me goodbye‚ in less than a year‚ my parents together will send me off to school by myself. From a tender age‚ still being a mere

Based upon criteria that include finishing school‚ getting a job‚ avoiding trouble with the law‚ starting a family‚ and becoming self-sufficient‚ the transition of youth into adult roles and responsibilities between 18 and the mid 20s‚ “emerging adulthood‚” has been lengthening (Arnett‚ 2004). In 1980 40% were married; today that fraction is cut in half. Reversing declines of the 1950s‚ the proportion of young men and women in their mid-20s living with their parents has increased; a quarter of white

I should not have been late to class. Why? There are a million reasons why! Class and school are both very important things in a young child’s life. Well‚ if I think so‚ why was I late? I was late because I neglected to make sure and plan ahead so I wouldn’t be late. I was being very irresponsible. You should not be late for class for many reasons‚ as I mentioned above. One of those reasons is that‚ when you are late you could miss very valuable things that you might need in your class later

Emerging Adulthood Reading Response Henig’s poses the question‚ “What is it about 20-Somethings?” Her article states that “Getting to what we would generally call adulthood is happening later than ever.” (Henig 200). I agree with Henig’s argument that young adults are taking longer to reach traditional adulthood; this stage is known as an “emerging adulthood”. I believe that this emerging adulthood period is an important point- this age that we are at currently is a pivotal point in our lives. At

As a young boy growing up in a rural town (Dublin‚ VA) in Southwest Virginia‚ the furthest thing from my mind was “learning styles”. We had one stop light‚ a tight knit community where everyone knew everyone. The only learning we concerned ourselves with consisted of the lake‚ the river and the local church grounds. We went fishing‚ we liked to swim and participate in local sports activities (whatever sport that was relevant at the time) against local neighbor kids. Our learning was not about
