My First Brush with an Art Museum Being a fairly artist person for my entire life‚ I feel like it is a little weird that I have never been to an ‘art museum’. I grew up with a very artist mother‚ who did a lot of carvings and even won prizes for some of her carvings‚ and I believe that artistic talent rubbed off on me as well. I have always had interest in art‚ and strived in high school where I was placed in advanced art‚ painting and drawing classes. These days‚ I have traded my pencils and

However‚ while I lived just as a wife and a mom‚ I lost my confidence to achieve something and forgot dreams that I want to come true in my own life. Therefore‚ I was afraid of going back to a college and studying in English after deciding to be an occupational therapist. I remember the first day in Cypress College last year. The first class that I took was a math class. Since I had graduated the high school twenty years ago‚ I forgot many formulas

My first year of storm soccer began in the 6th grade. I was nervous to start my first competitive soccer season. The thing that helped me out the most was that I knew we had a new coach in the program so we all were starting new. The first day of practice he talked to us and we all got to become closer by talking about ourselves and why we are playing the game of soccer. Chaz was a unique gentleman. He had the most character out of anyone I have met before. The reason he was such a unique man was

January of my freshmen year. These same kids who bullied me in middle school were acting like my good friends cheering me on whether it was my failing effort in Gotcha or chanting “chug‚ chug‚ chug” as I ruined my small stomach. Just hours ago‚ I had slowly crept on the bus‚ book in hand‚ to be dissected by the eyes of 50 upperclassmen‚ swiftly dismissed as I scampered to a seat in the very front‚ feeling very alone. I hoped and prayed that no one would ask for my name. All the memories of my lisp and
