Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite times of the year‚ besides Christmas. I love spending time with family and friends while enjoying the delicious Thanksgiving meal. My aunt’s husband is a culinary chef‚ so with that being said‚ our meals are always homecooked and taste heavenly. My entire family gathers on Thanksgiving Day at my aunt’s house where we spend the entire day eating‚ catching up with one another‚ and enjoying each other’s presence. Most importantly‚ we all get to see my cousins who range

My personal Challenge The thrill of being dropped from incredible heights‚ tossed upside down‚ thrown side to side‚ spun around and around at high speeds was not my thing. It was more of a great fear and anxiety for me. A fear which I have had since I was only little. Going to theme parks with the roller coasters and rides built up like tall trees in a forest around you and the sound of the thrill seekers screams like birds flying around above me echoing long after in my head made me envious

the real world. My hero would be Carey Price. He is my hero because he has shown me many life lessons even though‚ I didn’t even meet the guy. I believe he would be a great hero for all the inspiring goalies looking to make the leap into the NHL. My reasoning is that he shows class and leadership with all the pressure he has on him with being a Montreal Canadiens goaltender‚ because usually in that organization there are many great goaltenders that play for them. Carey Price became my hero back when

In fourth grade I first became aware that my pencil grip was abnormal in comparison to other students in my classroom. I had never known of how much of an effect holding a pencil had on the appearance of my writing during that time. Many of my peers had trouble deciphering my chicken scratch of handwriting. Sometimes‚ even I could not figure out what I had written. The entire problem with my handwriting stemmed from how I held the writing implement. So much as attempting to hold them in a normal

I want to work in an American intelligence agency as a forensic accountant. The path needed to get from my current position in life to my desired goal requires education.

exactly normal or average. While most children held the all too common dream of being a racecar driver or astronaut‚ I set my goals more realistically and thought I would most likely end up at a desk job in a cubicle; and while other people’s ambitions diminished while growing up‚ mine grew. I remember the look of astonishment on my parents’ face when I charged “interest” to my brothers while lending money around age eight‚ I could never quite tell if it was a look of disbelief or pride.

For a whole year after her death‚ if I went over to her house‚ I would leave before it got dark because for some reason I was afraid to spend the night in her house after her death. I finally got the courage to spend the night over her house and I must admit‚ it was the most peaceful sleep I had ever gotten my entire life. While at her house‚ I could misplace something and spend a whole hour

Writing‚ where do I begin...? Throughout my educational career I have always absolutely hated writing. Why do I need to research and write about the use of fossil fuels? Why do I need to write a reflection on this novel? It never made sense to me‚ and I never felt myself progressing as a writer. Although I was required to do these things this semester in English‚ I so much more to do and in return‚ I feel that I have grown immensely as a writer.

Through Advanced Composition my writing skills have grown immensely. I have become a more vibrant and expressive writer while still being aware of the subtle nuances of grammar and mechanics. I learned how to view writing as a process‚ rather than just a goal. I wrote a personal memoir about a game of chess I once played with a friend(Benchmark #1). In this paper‚ I learned how the value of outlining‚ and listing as part of the writing process. I had to approach a mediocre story with a fresh
