"Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation." -Coretta Scott King. this is her quote and I agree with her. When I was young I had a bedtime. When I got older that bedtime would be later. I also had a curfew. I had to be inside at a certain time of the day. If I broke the rule and came home late I would get grounded or they would lower the time that I had to come inside. If I was good and came in at the right time for two weeks I might have got the old time back to come inside. I was able to take the bus to school. If I was bad enough I would get kicked off then get grounded at home. I would be able to bring my food. If I were to bring something bad I would have to stop bringing my own food for a while. After
a while I would be able to bring my own food that I want. I could go out and do whatever I want if it is legal. If I were to do something bad I would have to go to jail. After I were to serve my time I could get out of jail. After I were to get out I would be on probation. After a while I would have the freedom to go places again.
"When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children-black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants-will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last, free at last; thank God Almighty, we are free at last'" (King, 312). Works Cited Jefferson, Thomas. The. The Declaration of Independence.
“In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.
When my sisters asked why the pack lived at a different place mom just said that the den was only for pups being born. It is also used as a way to raise the pups, until they are strong enough to live with the pack. Mom then led us to where the pack was staying and we met all of the other wolves (Wolf). There was one wolf that looked like he was hanging back from the others. Mom said that he was the lowest in the pack because he was different from us and he was also weaker. When I asked how he was different mom told us that he came from the humans and that one of his parents was in a human’s pack. Mom told us not to worry about him hurting us because he knows better.
Keeping yourself open to growth throughout life opens opportunities and leadership positions, which you wouldn’t have know about otherwise. I have joined many clubs throughout my first two years at Saint Xavier and loved them all. I have joined marine biology club, ski club, and fishing club. I have also joined the community service program special olympics. For my first action step, I will get involved in more clubs, electives, and community services options. I plan on joining the engineering club and looking at many other options at the club fair, as well as returning to my old clubs too. I’m also going to look for new and interesting electives such at anatomy and finance, to narrow down my major for college As I become a junior next year, I look forward to joining the big buddies program and eventually achieving a leadership role within in it. Next year, I will use my classes to break out of my comfort zone to meet new students and teachers. In doing all of this, I hope to find more friends that I can hang out with, so I’m not with the same group everyday.
When I woke up the next morning, I realized that I was in Zaroff's comfortable bed. Where am I? Why am I here? I suddenly remembered. I had won. I was the first one to win the game. I had the island all to myself now, but what should I do?
a bath. Then we watched a little more tv together and then my sister and me started packing a bag full of stuff we can do in the car on the way to Texas. When we finished we went to bed and it is like 9:00 at night. In the morning at 4:30 we woke up and we brush our teeth and got into some comfy close if we wanted to or we can stay in pajamas and my sister and me stayed in our pajamas and our dad and mom got into comfy clothes and we packed are car and got blankets and pillows and we got into the car and we left and it was about 5:00.
Since the fifth grade I was competitively swimming, by tenth grade year I didn't know what I was swimming for. Maybe it was to see all my swimming friends or just to mess around in the pool, maybe it was to make my parents proud. But at the time, I myself didn't know what I was swimming for. I had been swimming for so long it was just a routine, part of my daily life. I've seen many students like this in various sports with no real reason for playing, but in my senior that fog of uncertainty had dissipated.
I didn’t honestly know how my high school experience was going to go. I just hoped I would do good but I’ll be honest, I was excited to get to go back to school with my sister again. When it was the first day of freshman year for me I hung out with my sister in the band hallway and I remember like all of the seniors going through the hallway next to us yelling, “we hate freshman” and spraying kids with silly string and condomes filled with pee; I never got sprayed. My freshman year was fun I went to my first homecoming with my sister and it was great! After the first semester we moved to Sullivan Missouri which was a big difference but a good one.
Our values and beliefs unconsciously determine how we look, listen, and react to an individual child. My image of a child transforms over the years, hence my culture, past experiences and modern practice shaped this image, and it keeps changing while evolving with new perspective every passing day. Believing that every child deserves respect the same way as an adult emphasizing the need to pause for a moment to actively listen, make me perceives children in a completely new angle. Moreover, every child should feel valued and able to express their point of view without any hesitation.
For the first several years of my life, I was just like any other child; I achieved all the typical developmental milestones, cultivated new interests, made friends, and began to familiarize myself with the world around me. By the time I started elementary school, I was already enrolled in theater classes, ballet lessons, and a youth soccer league. It was also during these tender years that I began to develop an interest in learning, beyond that of most other children my age.
I had achieved something. I conquered an impediment in my life. Something that was a burden to me since I said my first word. For seven years I was plagued by my inability to speak normally. After a school change and hours upon hours of speech therapy, I was able to talk normally. This accolade in my early life opened a door for me, and it also inadvertently shut one.
I never thought I would make it this far. Going into high school I remember thinking to myself that this would it be it, post secondary was never in the picture. December 2011, the consequences of a car accident had changed my perspective of everything around me, it was not until soon after that I’ve recognized the value of education. Despite so, the symptoms of a brain injury had held me back, as my emotions also stood in the way. Every day I had thought of giving up, I had failed at doing the simplest tasks. Struggling to adapt to new habits and taking on different approaches, the hardest part was managing chronic headaches. Later I realized how much I took for granted in the past and was determined to prove myself wrong; I will succeed.
This last year has been a roller coaster, in a year I’ve learned more about myself then I have all my life. I’ve grown up and learned that nothing is just handed to you everything takes at least a little effort and it’s all about how much you're willing to give. Looking back at the beginning of this year I remember looking at my schedule for the first time and thinking about everything I had to accomplish and honestly sadly I can’t say I did my best in everything. I went through a really rough patch when i was diagnosed with severe depression and it set me way far back and i didn’t exactly give it my all in getting back up there in school.
The morning of August 4, 2016, Juliann woke up excited and nervous. She put on the perfect outfit she picked out the night before. Juliann did her make-up and hair, as butterflies danced in her stomach. She practically ran to the bus stop and impatiently waited for her bus. As the bus rounded the corner, she realized tears filled her eye. Overwhelmed with fear and excitement Juliann boarded the bus to begin her first day as a freshman. During the first three weeks of Juliann's freshman year, she made new friends, learned new procedures, and worked to learn how to use a chromebook.
Do you ever think on new years eve “This year is going to be great!” But then it ends up terrible? Well I can relate to that. In 2016, I experienced failure. Failure in myself. I never expected to let myself down so bad. Let me start with why i experienced failure or how certain situations led me to failure. 2016 was the year when i lost many people to death and thought it was the most amazing idea to give up. 3 days into 2016 and i lost my uncle. 2 months later i lost my grandma that i haven’t seen ever since i was 4-5 because she lived in el salvador. Oh wait, then i thought my grandmas death would’ve been the last one i would have to go through for a while. But no, i lost my brother 6 months after due to an “accidental” shooting. I loved all of them and never wanted
