PLAYGROUND: BRING! BRING! BRING! The dynamic sound passed over my head. I immediately responded to it by covering my two fragile ears with my two small hands. The ringing bell was ear-splitting, but I was happy that I was finally dismissed. As soon as I escaped from the school building, I quickly approached a lovely playground. The playground was enormous and colorful. There were lots of slides, swings, and seesaws everywhere. My most favorite out of all was the swing with black seat and two chains
I woke to the sound of my mother yelling at younger brother to wake up. I knew I would be the next one she would wake up so I sat myself up in my bed and waited for her to come in and tell me to get ready for my day; she did this every morning. Only a minute later she came in and did exactly as I had thought. Taken aback by the fact that I was awake she said , "Hurry up, we have to leave soon," in the same kind, loving voice she always used when talking to me. As soon as I had finished getting
How Personal Responsibility Will Lead to My Success Personal responsibility means to me holding yourself accountable for not only the successes in your life but also your downfalls.

With the help of a couple past English courses, I was able to construct my ability to write both an effective, abstract essay while maintaining a prescriptive skeleton.

Throughout my high school career it has been my goal to get a certain score on the SAT essay portion. As soon as I finished the test, I knew for a fact that I did really well. However, three weeks later, I received my essay score and that was not the case. I sat down for several hours trying to figure out how to accomplish my goal so I could attend college with an academic scholarship.
