October Night Most people think of wedding proposals is getting down on one knee, not advertising it to the public . I proposed to my husband in the new paper, right in the car adds, where he would not miss it . My husband and I met at Somewhere Else. I was an unhappy married woman with my first husband. There was no love show nor any I love you said. I felt like I was worthless in the

My Writing Process My Writing Process Writing, overall, is a process that can be difficult for some people and easy for others. My judgment on writing depends on the particular assignment. If I have to write a paper that comes straight from my head such as past experience or the future, I have no problem sitting down and writing it. But if the paper has to do with reading and interpret

Only The Good Die Young November 3rd was the day I was supposed to go to Keene with my friends to watch our high school soccer team play. Of course I couldn’t go, because I forgot to take work off that day, and my boss really needed me to come in. I told Kyle and Tim that I couldn’t go and watch the game with them. I really wanted to go, but most of all I wanted to ride in Kyle’s 88’ SAA

One Hell Of A Night One Hell of a Night I have never felt the action of my heart falling into my stomach, until the night of June 3, 2001. It was around three o\'clock in the morning and I was waiting up for my girlfriend, Tracy, to get off of work. She was a bartender at a night club in Philadelphia, called Maui and she would always call me as she was leaving. She needed someone to

One Special Hour A memorable hour in my lifetime It seemed like it would make her die, just speaking it. So I didn’t tell anyone, not even my best friends. At school I would slip into dreamland, nobody there knew that I should be troubled. I put on my best face and paraded around e-high’s halls with some sort of smile plastered on my face. At lunchtime I’d stare at my food thinking th

Opening My Eyes My high school years were some of the most influential years of my life. From the parties to the alcohol, I thought I had it all made; However, I was wrong. All I needed was the right person to make me see things in a different perspective. That is when I met my future fiancé Jeff. He has helped influence my life in a variety of beneficial ways. F

Baglady-Best Friend “Bag Lady Best Friends” I approached the homeless woman with caution and fear, not knowing what I would say to her. “Was this my former friend'” I asked myself. “ Leisha'” I called out to the homeless woman with her back turned. Immediately her head turned around, and she quizzically replied “Yes'” At that moment my mind became clouded with emotions, I was sha

Packaging “Roses are red, violets are blue, which one are you'” How many times have you heard this rhyme and never took the time analyze it. Not every rose is red. Just like a rose we as humans don’t fit into one nice little description or box. We’re all inherently different and this diversity is what makes us special. Growing up in a society that is pressured by the views of the media,

My Mother It took me eighteen years to realize what an extraordinary influence my mother has been on my life. She’ s the kind of person who has thoughtful discussions about which artist she would most want to have her portrait painted by (Sargent), the kind of mother who always has time for her four children, and the kind of community leader who has a seat on the board of every major pro

High Horsepower Dream High Horsepower Dream On Friday night, only the person with the coolest car drives the group. Lucky for me I would soon be that kid, because when that night would come, I would have the car of every high schooler’s dream. Any car over 300 hundred hoarse power is the ticket to fun times out with your friends, but its hard to keep the big picture in focus, when your

Changes Sometimes place and setting influence people to behave in a certain way. If you think about it, everyone changes his or her behavior including me. My behavior varies from being the sweetest angel to the biggest party animal and then there’s the terrible monster that comes out every once in a while. And trust me it isn’t easy being an angel for all the adults. My parents knowing

Changes Challenges I’ll never forget the day that I found out my parents were splitting up. I was only five at the time, and I could not fully understand what had happened, but I knew that things would never be the same. Throughout life, one is faced with many challenges, whether they are for good or for bad. One of the most difficult aspects of my life has been the aftermath of

Love - A Real Account Love, lust, urge, desire, - all descriptions of feelings, wants, needs, etc. I like a lot of other teenagers this past year, have had to deal with it all. The love of one girl, but the desire for the other. Both are beautiful, but one is the kind of girl that every guy would come up to you and say, “You have the hottest girlfriend I’ve ever seen.” You kn

Engagement A Special Night It seemed like any other late spring night. I finished with work thinking only of how bad the rush hour traffic had become. Stuck in a stand still for nearly ten minutes, my nerves were on end. The last thing I needed was that phone call. With both hope, and fear in my heart I pressed the send button on my Motorola. With the simple greeting of hello, m

Captain As A Job Captain a Job Title with Prestige There is no use for a alarm clock you are up at 5:30 because you have been up at that hour for the past twenty years of you life. You wake up to the smell of moist salt air, the smell that drives you out of bed every morning. You walk out of the sleeping quarters, grab your cup of coffee and head out the galley door and step out o

Creativity Creativity Creativity is an essential attribute of human beings that is primarily developed in our childhood. Creativity is defined as the ability to use the imagination to develop new and original ideas or things, especially in an artistic context.

Me Throughout my life I have been faced with many obstacles in which, luckily, I have overcome. Unfortunately though, many of those obstacles I created myself. When kids enter high school, they make decisions as freshman that foreshadow the rest of their high school career. Sadly, I picked the wrong path to follow. This choice led me to a long and hard couple years. I was getting in trou

Describing The Carnival I remember my first trip school picnic to the amusement park as clear as it were yesterday. I remember how everything went together as if it were meant to be that way like a dream. From the colorful concession stand near the park entrance to the colossal Ferris wheel in the distance, the amusement park was a string of attractions. As I entered the very livel

Friends Gender and Ethnicity Identity can be described as a distinguishing characteristic or personality of an individual. When asked who people are, many answer by including their name, gender, their date of birth, occupation and interests. My legal name is Yuliya Zelmanova. I was born in Siberia, and am Russian. I go by Julie, which is the English equivalent of Yuliya. I am a

Golden Streets I always dreamed of America as a place with golden streets and golden opportunities, well I was right about the opportunity but the streets were far from golden. When papa was finally able to afford me and mamas fare for the boat ride to New York, I found out my beautiful picture of America was all wrong. I swear the letters papa wrote to mama and I in Sicily made this pla

African American Discrimination All my life I’ve been sheltered from the world, that is, until I entered high school. In my home, elementary school, and in middle school I had the idea that racism and prejudice was over, just because slavery was over. That’s what it was before high school: cut and dry, no slavery, therefore, no racism. I thought that the idea of someone being discrimi

Personal Essay Personal Essay Who am I' A simplistic question yet filled with complication. Perhaps the reason I am the person that I have become today is due to my distinguished childhood. My father an African-American, who served in the Vietnam War as a soldier, met my mother, while he was stationed in Vietnam. Subsequently after the Vietnam War my parents arrived in America and

Personal Narrative My father and I moved to Georgia 4 years ago for reasons pertaining to my father’s job, yet I seemed to look at it like fate had a great deal to do with it. I couldn’t understand why, and it didn’t come to me until much later. It seemed like such a bad thing at the time, I lost all my friends and moved so far from everything I knew, and seemed as if nothing good would

Personal Statement Mame Brago Afrane. Throughout my life, I have come to gain a sense of confidence in my ability to set goals. I have learnt that virtually any challenge can be overcome by defining clear objectives, understanding the qualities needed to achieve them, and then systematically overcoming weaknesses and complementing strengths to best approach the task. In attempting to

Pink House It stuck out like a sore thumb, bleeding with fluorescent pink. I had never seen another like it. It was used as a marker when people stopped to ask for directions. It was like a lighthouse in a sea of homes. It was never referred to as anything but “the pink house”. Our neighborhood wasn’t very wealthy. In fact, I’d say it was only about a half a st

Pismo Trip It was a dark night, and nothing was going on. We were just three guys sitting in a desolate apartment playing boring old NFL Blitz. My buddy Matt reluctantly suggested we just drop everything we were doing and head to Pismo. Without even thinking, my buddy Gook and I simply replied, “Sure why not”. There is a truth to a spur of the moment decision like the one we had just

English 99 As a child or an adult, each of us has someone to look upon to as a role model. Usually, when we admire someone it’s because he or she has certain characteristics that you and I do not have or need to be improved. A role model for me is someone who contributed something positive in my life. Someone who has changed my outlook on life drastically, and someone that I can mirror m

Heaven Heaven Heaven is a gigantic city bigger than the whole world. The walls that surround heaven are enormous and beautiful. These walls are like no other.
