Something that I am the most proud of is when I made my fist cosplay. All my friends from high school are into cosplay; some of them even won awards for it! I had thought I was too unskilled to join in‚ and procrastinated dabbling in the art. However‚ this Halloween I finally decided to try it out by dressing up as Professor Layton (from the Professor Layton video game series). The most important aspect of the Professor was his signature top hat‚ which I had to figure out how to replicate. I consulted

I inform people that I am an only child. While alone time is inevitable when being an only child‚ it is not the side effect that many view it to be. This unique situation has given me the ability to develop relationships and discover love of independence. Throughout my life‚ I have cultivated close relationships with my family and peers. With no siblings to bond with‚ talk about problems with‚ or share adventures with‚ I realized as a child that I would have to look elsewhere for those essentialities

suffer from parents keeping them on a tight leash as to say. Not having enough freedom can seriously damage some teens social lives. A teen needs to be able to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure. To some teens independence means a lot to them‚ and I think that some parents don’t allow their teens enough independence. Independence also has to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone‚ and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school‚ coming

Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry were avid patriots who mastered the used of persuasion. "The Declaration of Independence" and Patrick Henry’s "Speech in the Virginia Convention" were both very effective in motivating their intended audiences. "The Declaration" and the "Speech to the Convention" possess some similarities and some differences‚ but their main premise is the same: to support independence from Great Britain.

I had an important decision to make. Our men were suffering; our commander needed us. But was it worth the time and energy? Was it worth dying for?

the school curriculum? There is much controversy regarding students use of personal laptops at school. I do believe‚ however‚ that those who choose to take advantage of personal laptops responsibly can really increase their potential in school.

Although there may be disadvantages to having personal laptops
