I was hugging my family goodbye as I was getting on the plane headed down to Lackland Air Force Base for basic military training. My story however begins way before this plane ride. Since I was a pre-teen computers and technology in general fascinated me. Growing up with a father that could fix a car engine with a 2X4 and a roll of duct tape and a mother who still is to this day a system analyst at Albany medical center‚ building and working with computer software and hardware was my hobby. Now working

During my first year at Southeastern‚ I was not sure that this was a real college experience. A little about my background; I came from a high school not much smaller than Southeastern. It was a popular public high school‚ where parties were wild and drugs and alcohol were present in many of the students lives. Anyways‚ media portrays college as a big party‚ “the best years of your life.” Therefore‚ coming to Southeastern was a little bit of a culture shock‚ there are not wild parties‚ and no drugs

Jamestown. The first settlement of Jamestown occurred in May 14‚ 1607. A couple years later I arrived to Jamestown. Life in Jamestown can be very challenging‚ but nothing compared to how it was before. The first settlement of Jamestown was a failure. The first journey to Virginia was through 3 ships: The Susan Constant‚ the Godspeed and the Discovery. In the first settlement around 100 members traveled to Jamestown looking for silver and gold. Instead of finding silver and gold the first settlers found

Saturday morning‚ my family decided that we were going to head to Downtown Grand Rapids and experience Art Prize for our very first time. This being our first year living in Michigan‚ we had no idea what to expect. Art Prize is a huge art contest and all of the artwork is spread out around Grand Rapids for people to look at and vote for the one they think is the best.

We pointed the gun‚ and bam‚ my first deer was down‚ this was when I knew that this place was going to be a special place to me. Growing up‚ going to deer camp with my daddy was always a very exciting thing for me. Hopewell was practically where I grew up; the dusty dirt roads‚ beautiful and quiet backwoods‚ deep mud holes‚ wild animals‚ friends and family made that place a home for me. Most people wouldn’t really consider their deer camp as their safe place and I guess that’s what makes me different

2013 was my first summer with Inlet. Due to being so young‚ I was advice to only participate in the first 2 weeks. Back then I was a hip hop dancer‚ I didn’t know what modern was nor did I ever take a modern class. I remember walking in feeling nervous but as soon as I saw everyone hugging each other‚ I knew this was where I belonged. In 2014‚ I decided that I wanted to come back to Inlet for another summer. I also knew that I wanted to stay for the whole time‚ but sadly that wasn’t exactly an

to expect your first day at a new college. You never quite know the people you’ll meet‚ or the overall vibe of the other students. I came to National Park College as a 28 year old. Recognizing that I’d more than likely be one of the oldest students in my classes‚ I didn’t really know how or if I would relate to the younger students (mostly 18 to 22 year olds). Would there be any commonality between myself and students around a decade younger? I’d soon find out. The first day of my Composition II

The Grass is Al My shoulders blazed from the beating sun and my palms were sweaty. I walked confidently toward the green as the other athletes were waiting on me. I was playing toward what looked like an amateur’s ideal score‚ a 45. It was the first home golf match of the year‚ and I could not afford to score any higher than my goal. I had to make sure my mind didn’t mess up more shots than my body. The smell of my sweaty glove was filling the air around me. My tee shot off of hole number five
