Drive is something that tons of people have not yet to grasp. The word drive itself is just as powerful as its definition. Having a drive for something means there’s passion in what you’re doing. My drive is to get out of bed every day and be productive. It’s my drive that pushes me to get to work and push myself forward. Having that drive for something isn’t something I would want to let go of either. The problem today is that it’s that it’s hard to have a drive for something since it may take

This town I found myself in right now was unique. For some reason‚ it felt different from all the rest. Sure‚ it was breathtaking‚ but that was not what was bringing on this feeling. I tried to observe my surroundings carefully for this loose thread. The red cobblestone was lowly lit in the warm glow of the Christmas lights that hung everywhere. Explosions of red and green and blue and yellow filtered everything in sight like 3D glasses. Tinsel and garland wound around the support columns of

My middle school life was very slow but at the same time it went by very fast. There are several factors that contributed to this. For one‚ middle school was not the best and it wasn’t my favorite‚ although my experiences were very beneficial. I lived in the same house I do today‚ about 7 miles out of town and away from everyone. Which meant I didn’t really get out much and I didn’t talk to very any people.

I have played this game that brings the entire world together for as long as I can remember. During my playing days at high school in Jamaica‚ I competed in the rural area Dacosta Cup.

My parents kept telling me‚ “College is supposed to be the best four years of your life.” However‚ at that point in time‚ I didn’t necessarily agree with them. I didn’t have a lot of friends in high school and wasn’t involved in a lot of extra curricular activities. So coming here was a big culture shock. I knew that I had to do whatever it took to get involved and make a name for myself. I couldn’t sit back and
