I would like to thank everybody for taking the time to read my post and for offering commentaries.

The first time I came to United States. My first time in United States was scary but yet fun. I came over with my mother‚ my father and my little brother. I was only 9 years old and didn’t speak any English. My father was the only one that knew good English because he was born and raised in New Jersey. To begin with‚ not only was I scared when I came to United States I was about to learn a new language. Before we came over my dad had flew over first a couple weeks before to find us a place.

I wake up‚ eager to get to school. As I lay in my bunk bed‚ I scan the outside world and see the cars. The sun just rose and it’s a little chilly outside. It was the 4th or 5th day of 6th grade and today we would choose new instruments for the band. I was considering switching to french horn‚ but my first pick was the tuba. In elementary school we could only play trumpet‚ clarinet‚ or saxophone. When I get out of bed‚ I change and tell my family good morning as I walk into the kitchen‚ my body filling

I love Disney princesses. They were always fun and adventurous. I had one problem though‚ none of them ever looked like me. Several of them looked like my friends‚ but not me. When my mom showed me The Princess and the Frog‚ I immediately fell in love with Princess Tiana. I admire Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog because she is hard-working‚ loyal‚ and determined. Ever since she was a little girl‚ Tiana wanted to own a restaurant. Everyone said that she couldn’t get enough money to buy

A personal narrative Why I should be accepted to College When first posed the questions of how do I fit in at a college and how my extracurricular activities and experiences would benefit the college‚ I was not sure where to begin writing. To be perfectly honest‚ I think I would be a good fit on almost any campus because I believe I am adaptable to my surroundings and have a solid foundation that would make me an asset anywhere in the nation.

Firstly‚ I wake up every morning at around 7:30am and immediately let my puppy out from her kennel and take her downstairs to then go potty outside. While she’s outside doing her potty duties‚ I begin to fix a drink and take my vitamins before going back outside to take care of more puppy duties. Afterwards‚ I fix breakfast and eat whatever I choose to eat for that day. Most of the time it’s either toaster strudels or chocolate chip waffles that I decide to cook in the toaster oven. Once I finish
