I also convinced myself that the Cornerstone Experience was a significant waste of my time.

There is a first time for everything. Some first time experiences aren’t so important while others we will never forget. One first time experience I will never forget is the first time I went skiing. I remember being lifted on the ski lift chair. The memory of being on top of the high hill with the feeling I am going to puke will be with me forever. The most memorable moment of this whole experience will be the first time I went speeding down the hill and thinking I am going to hit a tree and die

The first game of the intramural season had hype behind it because part of the lacrosse team was playing another team full of lacrosse players. We started our warm ups more organized then I thought‚ when we did lay up lines and practiced pull up jump shots. One thing you should know about me and basketball is I take it extremely seriously. In fact in all sports I’m an intense competitor. The game started off pretty slow‚ because both teams weren’t shooting very well. We were down 5 to 2 when I hit

First time moving I loved to play in the backyard of our little suburban house on 842‚ Tiablanca rd. In the front yard‚ the grass was cut neat and cleome flowers hid most the mold at the base of the house. On the porch‚ there was an old rocking chair with the paint mostly peeled off and that’s where my Mom would sit in the mornings because it had a great vantage point of the street so she could watch as my brothers waited for the bus. There were Wooden panels that lined the windows in front and they

Today is the day I go on my first trail drive. My job is to work the night shifts. I guess you could say I’m a "nighthawk". My crew and I are headed to Central Kansas with about seventy head of cattle. We are traveling along the Chisolm Trail. My buddy ‚Bengi‚ said‚ "This is not gonna be a short‚easy drive." I sure hope my first drive turns out successfully. This morning was really easy for me. I woke up early and ate biscuits and gravy. Yum! It was so delicious. Our cook has really good taste

boosted my confidence. I did something never anticipated to do. It was the day that I had been contemplating for weeks. It was finally my first softball game as an Outlaw‚ and I was as nervous as long-tailed dog in a room full of rocking chairs. I was determined to defeat the rival team as the pitcher.

W1T Literacy Narrative Draft 1 English is not my first language. In fact‚ I didn’t learn it well enough to have a conversation until I was about 10 years old. I remember the embarrassment of being new to a country I called home after living in Mexico for years. Things changed quickly the first day of 8th grade. I remember being energetically greeted by a slender athletic man in his fifties in a muggy summer morning. The hum of the air conditioning as welcome sound as we found our seats in this room

In my freshman and sophomore year I lived in South Korea‚ and attended Osan American High school. For two years at Osan I played on the varsity soccer team‚ we often had to travel far for the games‚ but there is still one game that I can not dismiss from my memory. Our first away game was a very emotional road trip for our new team‚ a group of girls just getting to know each other’s strengths and weakness‚ on and off the field‚ the game was an hour away from our school on a friday and we were pumped
