Freedom is priceless. Freedom means to love‚ live‚ and worship as you choose. Always remembering that this choice consists not only in doing what we like or want‚ but in having the right to do what we should. Freedom to me means to learn from my mistakes. If we did not have freedom we would not be able to worship our religion‚ speak freely‚ and assembly with others. Freedom is the foundation upon which our founding fathers built this country. Freedom of religion‚ speech‚ and assembly is just three

"Just do your best‚" is the phrase I grew up hearing all throughout my life. But doing my best was always something I couldn’t do lightly‚ I had to be the very best at everything I did. I was taught at an early age that academics came first and were always a top priority.

As I contemplated writing this essay‚ my thoughts ran adrift with snapshots of profound moments of my life. I can never forget experiences that have resonated with me: like assisting my elderly neighbor whose children would never visit‚ packing an extra lunch every day for the kid who always sat in the back of the cafeteria without anything to eat‚ or lending a hand in the wake of a tragic flood that destroyed my neighborhood. These moments are not just sentimental to me; they taught me empathy‚

I walked into your class sophomore year already knowing how much I loved English class but not knowing what to expect from your class.
