My educational experience throughout my life has been a rollercoaster ride. The rollercoaster first shot out in high school where I realized that this next four years will matter. At first it was a slow start to the ride; I started off my first year of high school with a cumulative GPA of a 2.8 but it started to go back up as I began to take responsibility and organize myself. My next three years showed to pay dividend as my GPA drove back‚ but not as high as I wanted it. During these 4 years‚ is

At my age‚ few people can genuinely claim that they have had a life-changing experience. And after a morning jog one Saturday morning‚ I became one of these fortunate people. Spending countless weekends in the park down near my house‚ I’ve always enjoyed jogging around the river the most. It’s probably because the river runs through the edge of the park‚ where the old trees act like guards‚ muffling the sounds of the city around them. Or is it because of the woman? The one who always sits at the

On Tuesday‚ March fifteenth I attended the Women’s Refugee Experience. There we heard from the women refugees living in southwest Ohio. The women refugees at the event were from Bhutan‚ Burundi‚ Iraq and Syria. I enjoyed hearing about the experiences of the woman’s travels and their stories actually made me rather emotional.

The abstinence experience in my case was a process of learning about myself. I learned how I reacted when I had to stop doing a behavior that was giving me satisfaction and pain. I learned how to come up with ways to help my process and achieve my goal. At the beginning‚ it was difficult as it was the first time abstaining from a behavior that I had for many years‚ I can say it started during my life as an adolescent.
