We talked for the ten minute ride before finally arriving at school. I sat down in homeroom waiting for the bell to ring. Brrriinnngggg! I rushed to Mrs. Gregory’s room for Lit.

I wanted to go above and beyond the expectations that others had set for me. When I first heard about being "airborne" it seemed so surreal. In basic training‚ we sang

My first communication strength is listening to my friends and family. I am very adept at listening to my friends and families because I’m competent at the five stages of listening‚ specifically: receiving‚ understanding‚ remembering‚ evaluating‚ and respond.

As I arose from my deep‚ comforting sleep‚ I was greeted by the bone chilling air of the Pacific. As I lay flat on my back staring at the moldy‚ white ceiling‚ I‚ heard a distant noise. As my ears slowly started to focus in‚ all I could hear was “This is not a drill! I repeat this is not a drill!” Scrambling to find my pants I suddenly realize‚ that i’m the only one left in my Barracks. It looks as if they had left for the raid without me‚ or maybe an early birthday surprise party? With all of these

The Grass is Al My shoulders blazed from the beating sun and my palms were sweaty. I walked confidently toward the green as the other athletes were waiting on me. I was playing toward what looked like an amateur’s ideal score‚ a 45. It was the first home golf match of the year‚ and I could not afford to score any higher than my goal.

This is my first math autobiography. I have sat here reminiscing about my math experiences. For starters math has not been my favorite or strongest subject. Many years I have struggle with it.
