My First Trophy Honestly‚ I have not really accomplished too much in my life but there is one achievement for which I received an award that depicts the effort and devotion I exerted into wrestling. Last year I was voted the most valuable junior varsity wrestler by my teammates and I received a trophy to honor my outstanding season. It is not a spectacular trophy. Rather‚ its value comes from a more personal sentiment‚ being a reminder that hard work and determination is the key to accomplishing

As an old broad‚ I am allowed to use an old picture. I am a sixty-three year old widow of thirty four years‚ with no children and a house full of cats and one dog. I grew up in dry cleaning and decided that was not what I wanted to do. It stinks; it’s hot and steamy all day and year long. In 1974 I got a degree from Ambassador Hotel and Restaurant Institute and managed motels for years until I was disabled at the age of 45.

I muted my TV and listened once more if it made that sound again. It did. I climbed out of my bed and peered out the window‚ it was my childish friend Drew throwing rocks at my window.

that matters‚ but the long road of experience it has carried me on. My car has taught me more than I expected in such a short time‚ but above all it has given me memories‚ a feeling of responsibility‚ and taught me that hard work pays off.

In my opinion‚ the most significant low-light moments of the 20th Century would be the battle of the Somme in WWI‚ residential schools between the 1920’s and 1930’s and last the tragic battle of Dieppe in WWII.
