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

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 first deaf event that I went to was the on a cold Sunday morning with my mother‚ and I met up with my aunt and uncle. We lived in the outskirts of Charlotte and the church was downtown‚ so we got up at 9 o’clock in order to get dressed. My mother drove‚ and I used the GPS to navigate us to uptown Charlotte and ultimately to Charlotte Deaf Mission at First Baptist Church. We went into the church and went up the stairs to the multi-media room. In there was a little break room where they served

only the fourth day of football practice and I was so excited. Today was a defensive day and defense was my favorite. I was always early for practice‚ I had a lot of time to relax and look at film of the practices before today. It was weird today because I was the only person in the locker room. I couldn’t even find Coach Carty who was always in his office. That wasn’t my problem so I just sat in my locker and listened to some music. Right now I had a great feeling to how the season was going to go.

As a graduate student in economics‚ it is much easier to have a conversation with you‚ rather than tell you my life story. Kirkuk‚ a city of 1 million people‚ is where I saw the world for my first time. It is a city rich in oil in Kurdistan-Iraq‚ also called the “black gold city.” Those are all nice facts but it still is not the best place to spend your entire life‚ there is plenty of corruption‚ political and security issues‚ etc. Because of this‚ I dreamed of coming to the United States

eyes on Thomas Jefferson Middle School. As I walk into unfamiliar building and know nothing about the culture and language a huge chill came over me‚ which I have never felt before. Something finally hit me I was in school in America. I walked in my first English class and sat there in a full panic mode but pretended I knew what I am doing. I heard a loud noise that said “Alright class take out your notebook and write a paragraph about your winter break”. Although I can understand some English words

My First Mexican Party I have had several experiences where I went through the socialization process. I was fortunate to grow up with parents who wanted me to see all different aspects of the world‚ which meant doing a lot of traveling.

The experience I have decided to focus on happened in Fort Wayne‚ Indiana‚ where I attended my first traditional Mexican party. This paper argues that a Mexican birthday parties

of my entire life. Running for hours wanting to give up‚ feeling like I was ready to pass out‚ sweating bullets‚ and body aching. Tasting the acid in my mouth‚ my stomach empty‚ and my head pounding. Skipping breakfast and lunch and not being able to drink or eat until a very light dinner was the worst. The District tournament was Saturday February 25th and friday the 24th was in the running for one of the hardest days of my entire life. I woke up on the morning of the 24th‚ I walked into my bathroom

My first experience with a dog was when I was 7 years old. One day I was going to go help my dad with some work around the house. My neighbors were talking with my dad and they had just gotten a new dog. I had just gotten up that morning and was getting ready to help my dad with chores. I didn’t expect something bad would happen to me that day while helping my dad outside. I had just went downstairs and was heading outside to help my dad. I had just gotten out the door and my dad was talking to the

It was the day before the first soccer game of the season‚ I was eating a protein bar and watching some vines on youtube. It was about 8:30 pm‚ I decided to go take a good shower. When I was done I got ready for bed. Then I dreamed. It was a tie game 2-2. We were looking pretty rough‚ every player on our team looked exhausted. I was put on the right wing looking for an open opportunity at goal. We didn’t have much luck the other team kept playing the ball so well. Then I found a gap and our team
