Grace with a N I think an idol should be someone special that a person looks up to and inspires to be. One person that I really look up to is our family friend Gracen. I would say that Gracen and I have a lot in common, and that is one reason I look up to her. Even though she is only twenty one she has already had so many different opportunities that I would love to experience when I am older. Along with her being super smart and determined she also has such a kind heart which I think has helped take her on all of her different journeys. Gracen has always been super adventurous. She grew up in a small town named Nipawin, which is really close to Tobin Lake. Being that Tobin is known for its fishing, Gracen spent lots of time in the boat. Her parents would take her and her brother camping to different lakes across Saskatchewan. That’s when she became very outdoorsy, just like myself. Now in her spare time you could find her hiking, canoeing, fishing, or just spending time outside exploring new places. …show more content…
Whether it’s for school, to help people, or just for fun she has done it. When she was just fifteen, she had the chance to be a part of an exchange program. She traveled to Italy by herself, not knowing the language or anyone there. She stayed with strangers for three months, still having to go to school while trying to learn a little bit of Italian. It ended up being such a great learning experience for her. It made her way more grown up and independent. It also taught her a bit of the Italian culture and showed her a different lifestyle . I thought it was very brave of her to want to travel across the country on her own. It showed me that if you want to do something, and you’re determined enough to make it happen, it

This past year, I have been motivated to keep up my grades and work hard because of Adams' National Junior Honor Society program. I have aspired to be in the Society since I read it over the summer on the Adams website. I was so excited when I received this letter because it meant I had a chance at making the program. I want to be in NJHS because it will teach me how to manage my time, organize events, and work with others. Working with others who also value academic success contributes to my will to be in the program. Together, we can help each other grow and thrive in the community. We can also collaborate to help those in our community who aren’t in the position to speak out for themselves. I read about an NJHS group that organized an event where they donated toys to children who are less fortunate. They spoke out in school and changed the lives of many young, unhappy children through the program.
Hi, I'm Grace Grothe, I'm a junior at Danville High School, and I live in Danville, Iowa. I currently work at Dairy Queen in Burlington. I am the youngest of three kids, but I am the only one living with my parents currently because my brother is married, and my sister currently goes to the U of I. My sister and I barrel race throughout the summer, and we have had horses in the family my whole life. After high school I plan on going to college at the U of I like my sister, and I would like to go into dentistry. I am in three sports, which include basketball, volleyball, and track, so I spend most of my school year in the gym, or on the track.
I came into Norwalk Community College looking for a fresh start. I previously attended a 4 year university that became too much for me; attending school full-time, working 30 hours per week while trying to enjoy the college experience. At the cost of an “experience” I ended up failing most of my classes, putting my health at risk drowned by the tremendous amount of stress and just wanted to completely give up. Looking for a fresh start I decided to leave my University, and attend Norwalk Community College. Though this decision created self-doubt in the beginning, it soon came to my realization that it was the best decision I ever made. Immersed in an environment full of positive people, I was able to put my pieces back together.
Every city has that one basketball game that everyone goes to. The game that brings the crowd to their feet. That one game that brings thousands of people to the audience, and leave them with something to talk about for the remainder of their lives. Saginaw High vs Arthur Hill boys basketball game is filled with people from all over the state, filled with future NBA players and lots of drama. Saginaw High is located in the poorest and the most dangerous parts of Saginaw,Mi. Just imagine a neighborhood with only three houses on each block and sounds like Fourth of July firecrackers going off every night knowing someone just died. So every year, Saginaw
All I knew about Corpus Christi, Texas, before I visited my step-daughter, Michelle, and her family there this summer was that it was a seaside vacation town on the Gulf of Mexico. I expected to find a typical American beach resort, replete with masses of tourists and messy hedonistic vitality. And, that’s what I found – in part.
“The final quarter of the Men’s Lacrosse National Championship between Notre Dame and Maryland, here at Gillette Stadium in Boston Massachusetts.” Says the announcer as we take our spots on the field, and wait for the game to start.
When North East Ohio Medical University sponsored a student led project, BetheBeautifulU was formed. Our campaign’s goal is to expose social media’s negative effect on teenage self-esteem due to its focus on Eurocentric standards of beauty. BetheBeautifulU’s purpose was to confront Cleveland's high school issues with self-esteem hidden within high school culture. We came up with numerous topics, like body positivity, but the one that was deeply anchored in our school was colorism. Colorism in Cleveland school districts and the media perpetuates the idea that lighter skinned people are more beautiful and most accepted compared to dark skin people. During our seminar to promote BetheBeautifulU, we asked

The present government of the United States of America has failed greatly and must be abolished. Surrounded by corruptness including drugs, violence, and unjust death, Americans no longer feel safe. Government officials have recently expressed the desire to put a kibosh on the evilness this society has evolved into, but they have put no more effort into that thought which is simply unacceptable. Therefore, America is only continually becoming buried in demoralization. Due to the obvious lack of interest, citizens feel the need to override the government of the United States in order to form Graceland, their ideal home. Graceland will be based on moral justice and citizens will feel much safer due to the newfound
The Wannsee conference held in the Berlin suburb of Wannsee on January 20, 1942 was one of the most important conferences in the history of the world. This meeting was for senior officials of Nazi Germany. The main purpose of this entire meeting was for every facet in the German government to have a full understanding about the issue of individuals who are Jewish. It was an attempt to get everyone on board with what will happen during the next few years with the so called "Problem" they had.

Have you ever known someone who’s goals seem a little unrealistic but they still have a slight chance of accomplishing them if they just work hard enough? Well, my new friend, Grayson Harman, has every ounce of his body working to attend OSU, Arkansas, or MIT in order to get a degree in electrical or chemical engineering. He may be a whopping 5’8 but his goals have no limits. The best part about him is that he is not only an intelligent student but he is also an athlete who dominates in all competitions. His two favorite sports are Boxing and Baseball. He is also a “kraken” catching fisherman striving to be like one of the characters out of his favorite movie, Forest Gump. You could also consider him to be a daredevil in some aspects of life.
