My recent trip to Belgium as a student was a one in a lifetime experience. I appreciate you choosing me to be one of the students to represent Monroe College.

I made you aware

It was July on a Friday at around 11:00p.m. All of the sudden‚ we were playing truth or dare. Allie dared us to go into the woods‚ and I guess she forgot that it was like pitch black out like you couldn’t even see each other‚ so we took a flash light with us. We weren’t thinking at all.

It sounded like a little toy doll. “Tanner go over and see what it is”

Many people consider writing fairly easy‚ mainly because they have never done any serious writing themselves. Others compare it to arithmetic and science‚ but anyone who has been to writing class like I was for a year and a half knows that it is not exactly a walk in the park. Unlike arithmetic and the sciences‚ writing is an art and while others are busy stating facts and manipulating numbers‚ writing is actually a display of creativity. The writer is often required to come up with new ideas every

During my freshman year of high school I received a letter in the mail. This letter was an invitation to play basketball in Australia‚ with other boys and girls of my age. The date was September 13‚ 2011. The letter stated that we would be leaving June 1‚ of 2012. Of course I wanted to go as soon as I read the letter‚ but my family was more curious about the trip.

For my Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting assignment I attended an AA meeting held at Annunciation RC Church in Paramus. I was a bit nervous before coming in to the meeting. I had my own personal feelings towards alcoholics for some time. I had a few relatives that dealt with alcohol with some of their lives.

clutching the hands of my dad‚ walking barefoot on the rocks atop this river was taken on our family’s trip to the Grand Canyon. We were balancing on goo-covered pebbles above the waters of the roaring waters and towering‚ majestic canyon- the highest in the universe. Actually‚ believe it or not‚ this particular body of water wasn’t even the real canyon. It actually was a pretty insignificant stream trickling through the Sedona Desert. You see‚ my mom decided our family should go on a trip to the Grand Canyon
