me the salad?" I asked my grandmother, as we sat eating dinner together. She immediately passed me the salad. "How was school, sugar?" she asked me. That was her nickname for me, because when I was five, apparently I used to eat sugar right out of the sugar jar she kept in the pantry. "It was good. I got an A in my pre-calc exam today," I replied, grinning. "Perfect," she answered. "I 'm so proud of you, Gigi. But did those girls – Ivanna, Bess, and Emilie – bother you again?" I hung my head.
During my first year, I always tried to count the prescribed three seconds before moving on to the next question or rephrasing; however, those three seconds always felt like an eternity. As I waited in silence for the student to answer the question, I began to panic, thinking that they did not understand because I had failed to teach them. Other times, I would wait three to five seconds, and just as I would begin to move on, the student would begin their answer and be interrupted. I realize now that this
I’m so proud of you honestly. I can’t believe I’ve known you this long. I know there are times we didn’t speak, because we are doing our thing. Whatever your personal business was, but it’s alright. I was still thinking of you. We are here now, at this moment. It’s seem forever, but what’s time honestly. You are probably have an answer to that, but I was just saying. This one of the reason why I like you, because you just seem to make me laugh. It could be the stupidest thing, but what matters is
year did not begin like most college students’ because I am an “Opportunity kid”, or as some of us in the program often joke, SVC’s finest. My peers and I undertook a grueling academic boot camp that laid my foundation here at Saint Vincent. This foundation allowed me to successfully transition to college life, and I hope to help other students just as individuals in the Opportunity Program have helped to mentor and inspire me. In the past year I have known and befriended several people that have inspired
"…I am a reader, I am a writer, I am a historian, I am a mathematician and I am a scientist. I am great! I am Greenvale great!" All the students at Greenvale elementary school chanted these words each morning along with the staff. Then they were told morning announcements by the principal. At P.S George F. Bristow preschool, students began their day by entering the classroom and having breakfast with their classmates and listening to morning announcements given by their teacher. At Bronx Studio School
accomplishment”. Who am I? is question that many often struggle to answer, but for me it allows me to differentiate from my constituents and express who I really am. What makes me such a unique individual is my ability to identify with 5 strong strengths. I love the fact that I am futuristic and I have the ability to relate, I am responsible, I am a developer and last but not least I am disciplined. Each one these themes shape and generate my personality. Born on February 22nd 2000 I am the only daughter
Lina Bordner and I am 12 years of age. On November 30, 2003 at 11:27 pm, I was born. in Durango, Colorado. Since that time, I have grown and I have experienced tons, and lived through experiences that I am proud of, along with as events that I am not proud of. Throughout those 12 years I have experienced a large number of successes. For example, one of my best successes is qualifying for honors. In 6th grade I was not in honors, and I decided to be concentrated on my work so I can qualify for an
Who Am I? “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”, this is a quote from Confucius that I think many of us college students can relate to very well. College underclassmen are at a very awkward age, we are still too young to decide what we want to do for the rest of our live, yet we are old enough to have to do it. I can surely bet on the fact that some of my peers and even myself are doubtful about our future and the question “Where do you see yourself in ten years
comes. I’ve studied for hours. I am going to ace this!” These are the thoughts that ran through young Manda Bartlett’s mind every time a test was placed on the desk. Though I knew the material, though I studied countless hours, there were some things that just would not stick in my mind. Are high test scores an indication of someone who is well-educated? Does making a “c” on a test that covered over nine months of school material mean that I’m not smart? Or is it because I chose not to go straight to
In the time I 've been an interviewer (almost a year now), I have kept my eyes peeled for interviewers who do something somewhat unique, and I remember noticing this program called Get Cooking With the Stars. More often than not, the show either featured people I had just featured on my site or those I hoped to eventually highlight, and I was simply intrigued with the whole idea of pairing cooking with interviews (I do watch Food Network somewhat regulalry after all). Recently, I had the opportunity
