Why didn’t I just pass the ball and let someone else feel this regret? Why‚ was the only question I kept wanting myself to answer‚ but was also the question I kept trying to forget.

Astronomy was the first science that interested me. As a child I subscribed to Young People’s Records. Every month I received in the mail a 10-inch 78 RPM record‚ or sometimes a package of two records. One day I received a record called "By rocket to the moon". It contained a fictional story about a trip by space ship around the moon and back to Earth‚ some 19 years before that actually happened‚ as well as some facts about the planets‚ which in those days included Pluto. That sparked my interest

Without being born in a different country and having to move to a different country in the first five years of my life‚ I wouldn’t be the person I am today.

I moved from Roxas City‚ Philippines to Lebanon‚ New Hampshire in 2005. At the age of five‚ I travelled with my mom‚ dad‚ and little sister. I had already started my education in the Philippines

I believe one of the most admirable things a person can do is give back‚ whether it be community service or volunteering. I try my hardest to make sure I make a positive difference in my community. When I was a child‚ I thought that just study in the classes‚ finish all assignments‚ and do well in the tests were enough to become a successful person. But now I realize‚ all of those were not the most important. In an attempt to create a difference‚ I joined the International Club last year. The purpose

When asked to think of a person whom I feel empathy for‚ one person stands out in my mind‚ my brother. All my life‚ I’ve looked up to him. His charisma‚ sense of humor‚ and way with people caused him to be the apple of every teacher’s eye‚ the boy every girl liked‚ and the friend everyone wanted. However‚ these good qualities were taken to the extreme in his years of high school‚ taking him down a path to destruction. After countless parties‚ explosive fights‚ signs of complete disrespect‚ and

I know me. I know who I really am. I know what I am capable of. I am independent and I don’t need anyone to tell me who I am or what I should do.
