My recent trip to Belgium as a student was a one in a lifetime experience. I appreciate you choosing me to be one of the students to represent Monroe College. I was able to experience a diverse learning curriculum. I traveled to 10 different Countries and met tons of new peers and friends. Unfortunately‚ that experience is over‚ the last exam has been taken and my grade is now final. We spoke on the phone briefly while I was in Belgium and recently after I returned to New York. I made you aware

Although there is much I can’t recall from my early days of reading‚ there are some momentous flashbacks. When I was beginning elementary school my parents were very eager to introduce me to doing a great deal of reading‚ they wanted me to enjoy reading for a while and they succeeded. We lived within walking distance of the public library which allowed us to frequently visit the library to read and check out books. I always remembered the vast shelves of books that seemed like they never had an end

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

About a year ago‚ my parents started fighting‚ usually over small thing‚ like where the kids were. But then it got a little more intense‚ like one time my parents went next door to hang out with the other adults when my mom asked for gummy bears.

like any other day. I got out of bed and scrambled to get out the door after I took an extra hour in the shower. I hopped into a seat next to my best friend Erin. We talked for the ten minute ride before finally arriving at school. I sat down in homeroom waiting for the bell to ring. Brrriinnngggg! I rushed to Mrs. Gregory’s room for Lit. Everything was fine until gym class. I had forgotten my assignment notebook in Mrs. Saphir’s room so I ran back upstairs to get it from under my chair. As I started

from Gambia in 2005 on a cold winter day this country was nothing like what I had expected. It is assumed by all Gambians that America is the Holy Grail but that is not accurate. From my first day I have had to go through hardships to fit in. My accent was very thick. My teeth were out of place and the kids at school didn’t hesitate to comment on it. I consider these hardships as something that many people go through but the defining moment in my life was when my parents got divorced. Coming from a

1. Getting my first dog‚ Candy: One life altering experience for me was when I got my first dog‚ Candy. Dogs were and still are one of my favorite things ever. When I first got her‚ she was small‚ soft and golden- everything I ever wanted. She was always jumping around and barking and being the curious puppy she was. I vividly remember the feeling of her little claws on my knees when she would greet me and leave little harmless scratches on them. We were as happy as ever for a while‚ until
