My First Submarine Underway I was stationed in Pearl Harbor‚ Hawaii and had recently graduated from Advanced Sonar School in Groton‚ Connecticut. In May of 2000 I embarked on my first submarine underway of my navy career. To have been there was one of the worst moments in my life. I arrived on the USS Key West full of energy and ready to finally start my job after six months of grueling sonar school. Little did I know my new division had other things in store for me. Immediately I was handed

In 2009‚ it was my first tackle football game. I was 9 years old. I have practiced tremendously hard for the first game. My family would be there and other parents would be there too. I had to do good. After weeks of practice‚ it was the day before the first game. Then‚ I wasn’t really worried about the game. But that night‚ I started to think about it. I was really excited and anxious for the game the next day. At the same time though‚ I was nervous for some reason just thinking about it. I didn’t

The first concert I choose to attend was the UMKC ensemble series. It featured the wind ensemble and the wind symphony. The first song that Joseph Parisi‚ conductor‚ started with was “The Duke of Marlborough Fanfare” by Percy Grainger starts off very slow and deep with the melody being played by the woodwinds. The melody also sounds very prideful as if it is part of an end of a war and they feel proud of what they accomplished.This piece was well played and I enjoyed listening to it. The second

our first pep rally of my first season of cheer took place. We had practiced and practiced to make this one incredible. This pep rally was the most exasperating thing I have ever done‚ but I knew what to do so I just went out there and tried my best.

When I walked into the office doors that morning‚ Mrs. Smith ran in there to see my cheer

My first time to Hawaii went like this. The first 5 hours I was on the plane I was feeling extremely sick and tired and felt like throwing up. After all that torture we finally got off of the plane and tried to find our hotel. We got lost for about 30 minutes until we actually found it. After we got into our hotel‚ I noticed that they didn’t have a refrigerator or a microwave‚ so every time we wanted to eat‚ we had to go buy some food. After we unpacked all of our stuff‚ we went out to the shopping

As I woke up to the smell of French Toast and bacon while my mom was yelling for me to get in the shower‚ all I could think about was that days’ game. The moment I got to school‚ I immediately had to rush to the team meeting before class. While every other team meeting was the usual‚ brief‚ “Y’all stay focused today now. We’ve got a ball game to play‚” This one was different. It was homecoming‚ and we had to deal with all the distractions of the homecoming parade‚ pep-rally‚ and all of the alumni

There are not very many big things in my life that have changed the person I am now but I think that my first trip to Hawaii may be one of the very few events that have. I think that through this experience I have since loved exploring and traveling to new places which is a quality that I think is a big part of who I am. On the night of my birthday in December of 2014 as I finished opening my last present my mom went upstairs‚ when she came back down I noticed she had something in her hand. As she

John Doughton AP Literature/ B3 Woodford Poetry Response “My first Memory of Librarians” I had a lot of interest in this poem because it signifies the importance of learning and the resourcefulness of books. I myself have a passion to read and share this enthusiasm with Giovanni. The poem is written in the first person which gives it a personal feel. The library into which Giovanni enters is described in detail. The heavy oak chairs and banker’s lights make me think of important things

been at a concert in San Francisco when I found myself out of cigarettes‚ an affliction I suffered perhaps every other day‚ my habit being less severe than those that had taken the lives of so many people I’d known. My friend and I had met at the theater‚ and we had split up after the performance‚ so I was alone in my truck when she approached me. My new pack was in my hands‚ and I was fiddling with the wrapper when she appeared‚ silhouetted against the bright lights of the corner liquor store
