Growing up‚ I always kept to myself and never got close with many people. My PFO experience has changed this about me. Being able to work with everyone in PFO in a different way this past year has allowed me to build a unique relationship with each person. One of my most memorable experiences was from Night of Gratitude. For this show we rehearsed for only a total of 24 hours before we put on the show. In the 24 hours‚ 20 teens‚ including myself wrote songs and poetry to perform in honor of 10 people

I didn’t know fear until August 13‚ when I found out that he would have to undergo radiation to combat a tumor in his brain. I didn’t know weariness until August 24‚ when everyone at school talked about how great their summer had been‚ and I had to lie and say that mine had been fine. I didn’t know how deep my love for my dad ran until June 29‚ when I wiped away my tears‚ stood a little straighter‚ and vowed

Golf has impacted my life greatly; more than I had expected. When I first joined golf I was the only girl on the team. In fact‚ I was the first girl to ever play golf for Holgate. When I decided that I wanted to join the team‚ I‚ of course asked other girls to join‚ in fear of being the only girl on an all guy’s team. Even though my persuasion failed‚ I was determined in playing golf. Looking back‚ I am glad that I did not let my fear stop me from joining this sport that I love. I became so fond

mother. As a young black teenage mother‚ I have learned to grow up quick. The things that I have learned the fastest were to nurture‚ care‚ and to protect my son‚ Jaylen. These were the three basic instincts that I have had since the day I first saw him. As far as I am concerned these instincts will not go away until my soul is resting. Nurturing my son is very important. To me‚ nurturing is more than just feeding him. Nurturing is also educating him and training him to be all that he can be. I do

Sometimes changing the way you view a situation can make all the difference. Even through times where I have had every reason to give up‚ I have chosen to keep a positive attitude. I have found that when I decide to do this‚ it makes me significantly happier‚ and I take much more away from the situation. For a soccer tournament in sixth grade‚ my team and I went

Woken by my father‚ I started rambling barefooted towards my family’s tribe as usual preparing for the day. It remained a typical luminous day‚ you could witness my people carrying out their own roles and their tribes. I for one was with my mother who was trained how farming works and become one day the dominant role of the tribe someday. Consequently‚ I wandered off walking around‚ and I did not notice going quite distant from where I should have been until I was all on my own. In addition‚ I could

During the revision of my poems many elements were changed. This included the length‚structure‚diction‚ opening and closing. All my poems got longer; most of them substantially. All of my poems grew by at least one stanza. This was not at all intentional as I feel poems should just be as long as the creator deems necessary; assuming they don’t need to meet specific criteria.
