To my Baxter and Rosie, I have had many great teachers in my life. Some were inspiring and encouraging, some inspirational and motivating, but there are no greater teachers than you both. You teach us of trust, kindness, stillness, silliness and love. Thank you for slowing me down, and for making time speed by. For bringing me back down to the ground, and for raising me up into the clouds.
5 years had passed since the whole Jessica Feeney thing. We 've elected a new (real) president, I 've become better friends with Courtney, and I 'm finishing my last year at high school. I plan on going to college to be a general surgeon despite hearing all those stories from Jeff. Jeff was liar right? I mean, now that I 've finished 4 years of grueling high school I know the smart people words for what Jeff and my 7th grade class did to Jessica.
It was August of 2010 when I first stepped foot into Mrs. Niven’s English classroom. Like every other sixth grader, I was a bit intimidated and nervous. But I could automatically tell that this was not going to be like the stereotypical elementary English class I had grown accustomed to. My suspicions were confirmed several weeks later, when she spontaneously decided to project an Alfred Hitchcock short film on the board.
While attending community college I had to work two jobs to pay for school in addition to going to school full time, at some points working consecutive weeks without any days off. With my mom being laid off while I was in college and financial aid unavailable, I had to find a way to fund my education. This experience not only enhanced my time management skills but also gave me a greater appreciation for education. Time management is a key skill I have learned and have had to apply in my life due to the time commitments I have outside of academics. Currently I am a member of Air Force ROTC, both the Vice President and a participant on the University of Washington boxing team, and I work part-time while going to school full-time.

Loving,caring,unselfish and hardworking are only a few of the many powerful words I can use to describe my mentor, Joyce M. I know some people might have experienced what she has been through but nobody is standing as tall as she is today. As we all grow up and age we change mentally and physically. At this point in life I was only about 7 years old. Tall and skinny about 4’5 average with dirty brown hair and dark brown eyes, I was an Emotional but strong minded normal elementary school girl.
I first met Kelsey when the two of us joined cross-country the summer before our freshman year. Back then, I never would have guessed that we would end up being such close friends. I am so glad we did. Kelsey is an inspiration to be around, filling any atmosphere with positivity. Even in the toughest situations, the hardest cross-country workouts, Kelsey is able to bring out the fun in a situation.
“ It seems no matter which way I go, I turn into my past Some way or another It bothers me terribly I just want to move on with my life” This quote resonates with me has an individual. Because Some days nothing seems to go right, no matter how hard I try. I’ve done almost everything I can do to start my process of healing and getting the help I need to move and become the person I was meant to be. A happy , goofy , outgoing and caring person. However There’s always something in my life that will hold me back from moving on.
Alana. One of the first friends that I ever made use to be a girl named Alana. When I first moved into the neighborhood where I currently live now, Alana shouted “hi” to me from across the street and I considered her to be my friend for a while. Most of the time, the friends I made did not last that long. All of my previous friendships only lasted for a few months or a year at most.
I have a sister name Sally. Sally is a loving, caring, and supportive sister. Sally is the oldest sibling in our family and she takes pride in the fact that she has helped raise us. Sally has been married to her loving husband Bob for ten years. Sally and Bob have three children Jessica who is 4, Riley who just made 6 years of age, and Solaiman who is 8.
Special. Unique. Gifted. Those are a few words I hate. Everyone says that every single person in this world has a purpose and has a talent, but I don’t think so.
Since my schedule includes honors classes, clubs/organizations, and participation in community service my time exists as very limited. When it comes to asking questions I do so, but only when the teacher is available. When assignments need to be turned in, I always turn them in on time. I rarely ever turn in an assignment in late unless I’m not caught up with my nursing homework. I’ve attended all of my classes besides two Saturdays that were excused by Ms. Cunningham.
“I love helping others, making people feel good in anyway makes my day brighter.” That’s a statement I have heard my mother, Patricia, say plenty of times. Patricia is a very patient, caring, and loving woman. She has and will put everyone else’s needs before her own. There are not many days when she does not have a smile on her face no matter what is going on.
Coming Again How did you feel when you back to you back to your family from long time period? I returned back to my community after many years of being away at school and seeing my family again is very depressing and missing all this things. To start, I returned back to my family when I see my family I felt excited. But, then when I see my family and I look myself I look so different. All my friends and family have long hair but, I don’t have long a hair anymore.
I was so unaware that most of my work would be online along with in class instruction and most assignments would be due at same time. Also, the discussion boards were a thing that would be graded. So, trying to handle five classes; two online and three in the class, has been a challenge. The final challenge has been the hardest, which is spending time taking care of my grandchildren. I have custody of them and there is never enough
