Personal Narrative: Building A Trebuchet

Some qualities I have that would contribute to TRi-M are I love learning through my effort and dedication in what I do. I’m responsible, respectful, I manage my time wisely, and I like to lead. In accordance to leading by example, I also try to motivate others as well as motivating myself. Having the courage to step up to something like this is big for me so I could add confidence and appreciation. Why appreciation? Well, I’m a very driven person and if I don’t push myself now then when will I? I like building relationships because I’m very sociable. I’m very clear about what I have to say, I don’t like to offend others and make someone feel bad because it’s not fair to them, I like when there is an equal treatment. I trust in others, especially my teammates, and people in my sections. I can turn my visions into reality. As well as getting the best out of others. I take responsibility to keep an effective sectional going. I’m open-minded and I like to build successful opinions to

The strengths of my personality type is that i'm decisive and see what needs to be done. Not many have the ability to remain resolute in conflict, leading the charge and being argumentative. These pretty much describes who I am as a person. I try to be a leader and see what needs to be done. I learn from experience and hands on actions. I love to debate about anything that people want to fight for. Feelings are important in decision making but also the hesitance to look over the situation.

On planet earth, there are more than seven billion people. Each of these people are different in their own unique way. A person's personality defines them the most as a person. These traits dictate how we live our life and how other people get to know us as a person. The three adjectives my friends use to describe me are competitive, active and happy. My life is centered around these adjectives and they have defined me as a person.

A day in the summer there was a football game played at Kimberly’s turf located in Kimberly Wisconsin. A 7th grade Kimberly football team was playing another great team called the Neenah Rockets they had a massive running back that had this bushy mustache and they had a pretty fast good throwing quarterback. The Neenah rockets had great talent but so did Kimberly. This game was going to be a great one, cold fans crowded the stands eating fresh popcorn and very chocolatey hot chocolate in very white cups as the game started it was 0-0 after the first 4 and a half quarters and in the last minutes something big happens when we are on defense…

I want to enroll in Pre-AP English because I think it could help me in several of ways. This can help attain my goals because it helps me receive a higher gpa. I plan to contribute to Maricopa High School community by joining student council, if I join student council I would be involved in more things and can help at any events, I am committed to go above and beyond and I am self-motivated to do anything necessary.

Education and application of that knowledge is crucial to building a successful business. To achieve the goals or dreams one must weigh the benefits of studying and preparing to become an entrepreneur. The objective at hand is to educate, observe, and analyze all aspects of business.

The Yankees formed us up into a wagon train, planning to take us to City Point. On the way there, I thought about the Union prisons, which is where I was headed. I read from the newspapers that the prisons were filled to their limits with soldiers and most soldiers didn’t even live because they froze to death, had chills and fevers (which killed them), or they starved to death because of the terrible food. I hope what I read was not true because Ma, Sarah and Sam really needed me alive, not dead. To take my mind off of everything that had happened, I started to read my book of psalms out loud. While I read, Private Turner (I found out his name because his fellow soldiers called him that when he told them he caught me) asked me who was I talking to.

On May 30 2013 someone was saying to his friend, Ciara“Alright Ciara, I need to tell; you this now. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Also, there’s some bad news… I have to evacuate my home. There’s an extremely large fire maybe 15 miles from my house and heading this way..” and he sent her “I can see the flames from my house! I’m packed, and evacuating. Just hope my house doesn’t burn. And if it does, then.. idk I’ll miss you, and try to get in contact sometime.”. Not only was she heartbroken, it also sparked interest in her on the fire. “Yuccas catch fire as the Powerhouse fire makes a fast run toward Lake Hughes on June 1, 2013 south of Lake Hughes, California. The 32,000-acre wildfire destroyed numerous homes. More than 2,000 firefighters have been working in hot, dry conditions to establish containment lines around 60 percent of the fire as of June” (just an fyi the guy is fine, his house didn’t burn down) "Driving away, you could see the town burning up, I don't think there's going to be much left." -anonymous resident who evacuated. The resident and the guy's message can be easily compared. He talked

Over the 5 weeks of March 10th - April 17th, I have been working on my Rube Goldberg Machine which is called the Ding Dong Bell Dinger. This is a Rube Goldberg Machine in which completes a series of obstacles and at the end it rings a bell. Building the Ding Dong Bell Dinger, was a very learnful and mistakeful project, but was really fun. This essay is going to be all about my mistakes through my Rube Goldberg Machine and what I learned from them.

The speakers at the CBAD 120 retreat brought energy and a wealth of knowledge of starting your own business. Adam Rice and Meghan Tarmey brought information regarding how effective teamwork reflects directly to the success of a business and their personal experiences regarding it. Also, the information they provided can be directly linked to topics learned in CBAD 120 and the students in the class can use some of the information to improve upon the business plans they have been working on throughout the year. Overall the information provided if put into action in one’s own life is extremely valuable.

I stared into the dark sky, taking a deep breath. “Tonight...tonight.” I breathed out loud. This past week i’ve felt jittery inside my stomach, holding back the smile i’ve wanted to show. Tomorrow was the day it all happened. I held my legs to my chest and thought about all the good things that could happen.

A sense of accomplishment is invaluable to a person. Not only does a sense of accomplishment build confidence and faith in oneself, but it also allows one to reflect on how wonderful the journey to the accomplishment was, and how every little struggle and triumph was worth it. In the middle of summer, where time seems endless and the stress of the previous school year has been shed by students, I never expected to find out that I scored a five on both of the advanced placement exams I took. Nor did I have one-hundred percent confidence the goals we set as section leaders of the marching band would actually be met. Yet to my surprise, I had the good fortune of accomplishing challenging things in both aspects of my life. Both accomplishments, especially my scores on the Advanced Placement exams, gave me a sense of self-confidence and faith in my ability to accomplish my goals that I had

I am currently a squad leader in Mortar Company 1-19th Infantry. I joined the Army in April of 2003. During my 12 year career, I have had multiple deployments and multiple experience’s, some good some bad. I have learned over the years that it’s what you learn from those experience’s that help shape and mold the leader and obviously add to the leader’s skill and knowledge base. Knowledge is power as they say. I have served in a wide variety of positions throughout my career, although mostly mechanized I have still found myself having to know the light Infantry world as well. I have served every position from Assistant gunner to squad leader in the Mortar world, to team leader and squad leader in the light Infantry world. I have had the

I am applying for Carnegie Mellon University and the American University of Sharjah, in order to study Business Marketing or Business Administration. Business is a long-standing passion of mine, and I am fascinated by how business organisations function in the modern international market.

I am a Lego soldier fighting in defense of my people. The history of my people started in a far away country of Denmark. In the 1960’s we immigrated to America and since that time we have survived fire, the hammer and teenage boys. I have a story to tell of great bravery and courage protecting those in danger from a terrible foe. Our forefather, Ole Kirk Christiansen, would be proud of our efforts to protect our way of life.
