The Fear I Will Overcome I have this fear. It causes my knees to shake. I break out in a cold sweat. My heart starts to beat at 100 miles per hour and I get light headed. I am crying inside but try to act strong around people who think that I am the toughest one there. The thoughts of certain death run through my mind as I imagine my own funeral. My stomach feels strange. My palms are clammy. I am terrified of heights. Of course‚ it is not really a fear of being in a high place. It is the view of

Outlet I thought to myself‚ “today is the day”. Turning left at the entrance‚ the parking lot was jam-packed with cars almost touching bumpers. It was my last and final day working at the Banana Republic. The dim lights‚ old people‚ and today’s hottest hits music playing in the background made the atmosphere laid back and relaxing. That was until you see unorganized clothes and meet unfriendly customers. As I walked in‚ in my blue and white squared button-up‚ ripped jeans‚ and Sperrys I noticed

Although there is much I can’t recall from my early days of reading‚ there are some momentous flashbacks. When I was beginning elementary school my parents were very eager to introduce me to doing a great deal of reading‚ they wanted me to enjoy reading for a while and they succeeded. We lived within walking distance of the public library which allowed us to frequently visit the library to read and check out books. I always remembered the vast shelves of books that seemed like they never had an end

She said I needed to improve this year‚ to try and do better than last year. We arrived to the front of the school‚ and I said my goodbyes

four months ago‚ my parents‚ sister‚ and I became U.S citizens. When I ascertained that I had become a citizen‚ I recalled a few memories from my first day in the U.S until April 2017. The event that popped out most in my memory was my first day of school in this country. I remember the time when I woke up on this chilly day of February 2012 and started to shiver as I got out of my bed. The weather of Edison was way colder than I had ever experienced in my life.

2014‚ my life completely changed when I graduated from St. John the Evangelist Parish School. The two high schools that accepted me were Gonzaga College High School and Dematha Catholic High School. The people I knew my whole life we’re going to schools such as Dematha. It all came down to me to either go to the schools in which most of the people I knew were going or experience something new which I have never done before. The decision that I made shaped the person who I am today. During my shadow

the indigenous people of Hawai’i‚ whose ancestors have cultivated this land for generations‚ the idea of paradise only conceals the enduring oppression that dictates their reality. Every aspect of my entire life has been surrounded by this oppression. Throughout my years in the public school system‚ I have been constantly told by others that we native Hawaiians are responsible for our own dissolution because we are inherently lazy and the lifestyle of our ancestors were uncivilized. One of the most

part of my life ever since I joined the Centennial Lakes Little League in 2010. This was my first sport and I had never been on a team before. I had no prior sports skills because I had never played any before this one. The day I walked into the facility for the first time I knew it was just my first day of softball‚ but what I did not know was that it was the first day I would shape my personality and discover my priorities. Being only eleven years old I was not putting much thought into my future

The day I first learned to ride on a snowboard was a monumental moment for me. Days of falling on my ass turned to weeks‚ into months‚ until finally I did it! Feelings of adrenaline pumped through my 9 year old body as I carefully made my way down the mountain. Snow and wind nipp the top of my exposed pale nose as I pick up confidence and speed. I let out a howl of joy as I conquer the cruel mounds of snow and ice. Making a quick turn on my board sends me flying to the ground in a knot of tangled
