Importance Of Triple G's Letter

Waking up 6:30 in the morning isn't common for me but July 28th was the day I was driving up to Athens for Dawg Camp. I was waiting for this day since I was fortunate to receive a scholarship to go to Dawg Camp Discovery thanks to the UGA Parents Leadership Council. Every UGA event I attended, convinced me that Dawg Camp was an once in a lifetime opportunity. I was beyond ecstatic when I found out I was one of the recipient of the reward. Once arriving at UGA, I walked into Ramsey startled by the excitement coming from the basketball court. All of the camp counselors were beyond theatric when all of the campers came in one by one. As the day went on, I began to connect with my group, Silver 4, more and more. We were able to talk about our

It's 3:30 in the morning on a Saturday and I’m awake. I get up and head to the bathroom to get ready for the big day. Today is Arcadia and it's the very last field show I will ever march with some of my best friends. I can’t wait to see them. It’s 4:45am and I’m in the band room half awake but overly excited for the long day ahead. Andrew, Becky, Matthew and I ride together on the way to Arcadia high school to get ready to perform our field show, “The Final Chapter” later on tonight. Once we get there we meet up with the others to go watch the day bands perform and to buy food and pins. It's our last Arcadia. The time finally comes for the Riverside Kingsmen to take the field, all I can do to remain calm is think through my drill and my music we’ve got one shot let's make it count. Before I know it we’re done and I have performed the last field show I will ever be apart of, but that's not a scary thing it's an exciting moment because I played my heart out and and hit every flank like a boss! We’re off to get our scores and see who won Sweepstakes, they announce third, then, second, then first, then Sweeps...we did it! We won sweepstakes and ended our last year with a bang! My friends and I are celebrating, laughing, crying and taking it all in. Weeeee just did it together! We eat, load up and are on the bus ride home, everyone is either playing games and talking or asleep. It's 2 am and i’m finally home and in bed

Whenever I have a horrendous day, Chloe is always there. Getting a low grade just produces more urgency to get better grades and to study and put time into everything. Friends all rely on each other, and without some members, nothing is as exciting. It is fascinating to see the difference that you have made in my life, and without you here I am deeply saddened. It opens new doors, and I realize that seeing you will be more amazing after extended periods of time. The school year is going great, Chloe is continuing to make others happy, and the neighborhood is at rest for now. I cannot

It has been a week since I handed in my project for English, things still do not feel the same at home, something feels as if it’s missing with Johnny and Dally went. Like a shadow has gone over our group. Nothing feels quite the same around a home, Dally seems more gentle with me almost as if I’m glass and will break, but I can see why. They try to make me feel better, and slowly my life is getting back on track, my grades are slowly climbing up, again Dally thinks I still got a good chance to get into a great university, he thinks that if I enter track next year, and do well I can even get a sports scholarship. I hope what he is saying is right. The whole group seems to be pushing me forward. Sodapop also seems happy for me, he is smiling more, but he almost seems more protective. Now that my head is clear I feel like I can see things the way they are. Because of that, they are careful around me, not wishing me to become like what I was again.

The softball field was painted with players. (Passive) They were the coaches daughters. I'm not really a self-effacing (shy) person, but that day, I was. When the scrimmage began, I was put on third base and fourth batter. No big deal at all. I was use to those positions. It was as easy as A.B.C. (Simile). I have done this a thousand times before (hyperbole). One thing that was cool though was there was another Marissa on the team. I got stuck with the nickname Mo so they weren't confused. The scrimmage went well and I started to slowly talk with some girls on the team. One was from Polson which is about 15 minutes North of Ronan. I really fancy (enjoyed) these girls. I traveled to down to Missoula twice a week for practice. We usually practiced in a gym in the winter time. More on the fields in the spring time.Over the course of those practice times, I got use to the girls real fast and they made me feel needed (wanted). Also at those practices, i became better at batting, fielding, and throwing.(Balanced) We really enjoyed the summer season. we didn't win much, but it was still an amazing season with some amazing

I made new friends and went to the Magis Program every Saturday. I saw some friends ,but it was different now. I'm not in their lives anymore and they are not really in my life either. Pretty soon after, me and my friends stopped talking because we went to different school and life was different. I didn’t like it. I wanted to know what was happening in my old school and how everyone was doing. I was pretty sad and missed everyone. So school went by ,and me and my friends still saw each other ,but we weren’t as close as we were. So life went on 8th grade came and my decision came back. 8th grade year was fun I had made a lot of friends and a lot bonds with them. Some of the friends I made were going to go to St. Ignatius or St. Edwards or other private high schools. It was also my time to decide to which high school to go to. It was a hard decision so I delayed it. My friends from Magis also started talking to me again. They thought that I was still going to St. Ignatius. I was deciding whether to go Westlake High School or to go to Ignatius. I delayed the my decision until summer. So during 8th grade the whole 8th grade went to Washington D.C and I then realized that I didn’t to go to thru the same feeling again. So I told my old friends that Im sry one the last day of the Magis program before the summer camp

I depressingly told her about what had happened, and it took a few minutes for it to sink in before she told me, “They are going to realize that they were wrong about you. You have to show them all that you care capable of so much more than they could even imagine.” Her words gave me a glimmer of hope. I began to think maybe she was right. Maybe I did need to view the daunting placement as a challenge. I saw it clearly now. I need to prove my worthiness on the team they decided to put me on and work my way back up the ladder after I had just been knocked down to the very last rung. I would climb the ladder as if nothing else mattered in the world. I will show them that they made a huge mistake by placing me on the freshman team. I will prove them all

In my Healy education career, my year with you was very funny and surprising at the same time. I thought that 8th grade year with you was going to be very hard and harsh with you. Many people told me how rude and mean you can be. I was extremely scared about going to your class but I was more frighten because I’m in your home room. On the first quarter of the school year I was really struggling with my writing grades. You give me many chances to help boost my grade up and told me to practice more on grammar. On one writing assignment you give me an B instead of a C because I had no grammar mistakes. At the moment, I thought you were pretty nice and not mean or rude.

When I was in kindergarten, the first of many schools I would attend, I made quite a few friends that year including some that I still know today. One of the friends that I made in kindergarten was a girl named Amelia. From kindergarten to 6th grade, we were good friends. Then, everything seemed to fall apart. Now, she seems to almost despise me for reasons that I do not know and hope to find out. Well from kindergarten to the end of third grade I was at St. Bridget’s in Watervliet. Then, from fourth grade to the first three weeks of sixth grade I was at St. Ambrose. Most of my friends from St. Bridget’s went to St. Ambrose after St. Bridget’s closed in third grade; so, I didn’t really need to make a lot of new friends or worry about being shy, because at that time in my life I was very shy. While I was at St. Ambrose, I made a friend name John, whom I still know and happens to go to CCHS “Catholic Central High School” (My current school) too. While I was at St. Ambrose, I pretty much did most of the bulletin board designing for my fourth grade teacher, Mr. Balcavage. He was really tall and he had huge hands. Some times in class he would pat some of us on our heads, and for most of us, his hand could have palmed our heads. While I was in fourth grade, my class and I were doing a project on the planets.

Why did I join the Boys &Girls Club Club? I join the Boys & Girls Club because my daddy used to work there. He thought it would be a great program for me to attend to keep me busy after school. Why I like coming? I like coming to the because the staff here care about me. The Boys & Girls Club gives me a place to go after school while my mama is at work making mama for me and my brother can had a roof over our heads. I Like the fact that they help me with my homework assignment and feed me a hot snack every day when I get there .Cheer me up when I have a bad day and take me on cool and fun field trips. My Favorite Program is Smart Moves , smart is a program that teachers kid in my age group healthy life styles , don’t do drugs , no sex til its appropriate etc. How much my mother pay for me to come. My mother started out paying $20.00 a week for me to attend the program $20.00 became over whelming for her to pay. When my father went away to prison for 3 years. My fees got behind so my mama removed me from the program. For a couple of weeks, while we was at Wal-Mart we saw Mr. Nick he had asked where have I been at. I said that I was a car rider now I go home after school. club in meet with him the next day .They meet Mr. Nick wiped away all my fees and scholarship me to come for free due to my mama situation.

“It’s official, dismissal is my new favorite time of the day,” said my best friend Janna. I just laughed and called her a silly goose (and yes, I do know that I talk like a 5 year old sometimes. The fact is I just can’t help it. My older brother has a 5 year old little girl and I love babysitting her all the time. I lover her and she means so much to me, so if the outcome of me babysitting her is that I have the vocabulary of a kid, so be it. Okay, I’m done with that little tangent). Janna and I made our way to the big oak tree. Our little group has always stood out here after school since freshman year. “Man, it’s crazy that we are about to graduate,” Baine said. I blushed, I may or may not have the biggest crush on him. It would be practically

Waking up on Sunday July 10th, I knew that I was going to leave my bed, my family, and my friends for six weeks. I knew that I was going to miss everyone, but I also knew that I was leaving everything behind and chase my future. I knew that on that morning I would be arriving at Rutgers Newark for the Summer 2016 EOF Nursing Program. What I did not know was that I was going to meet the best group of people from the EOF program and whom I would now consider my family. I was never really close to many people, but now I am. This all started due to the retreat. Before the retreat, we all entered the program and became acquaintances. We knew faces, but we never really knew some people’s names. We knew everyone was here to become a nurse, but we

The first day in the ABP was a student orientation, in that day I met Fay. They put in the chairs numbers each number related to a group. At first, my number was four, but then I changed it, and I took number nine. By coincidence, we were in the same group, I saw her, but I did not recognize her at first. Someone was close to me and made me feel comfortable, I forgot that I was nervous. I looked into her eyes and everything was fine, she came by my side while we were hanging around the building, I smiled. I thought that I will not change my friends from the former school, I tried to avoid that belief to though. But with Fay, my desire changed and I wanted to know her more, she is the one who made me smile in my first day in the ABP, so she will be able to make me smile to the end. Through our walking, I heard her saying that she got tired and she did not need to go to the Gym if we will walk all day like this, she was joking. Then, we sat in somewhere there were four boys talking to us about their experience in the ABP. After they finished they waited for a question about anything that will help us, everyone said nothing. Suddenly, Fay rose her hand, they thought that

The good years: Intermediate School, began with the fifth grade and a whole new start again. Instead of getting bad grades and barley completing assignments, I was determined to change my ways. Sadly, Brianna was separated from us for both fifth and sixth grade. So going into Intermediate School, it was just good old Kira and I to fend for ourselves. There were two new major people at this time to help me along the journey, Mr. Godfrey and Mia Godfrey. With absolute no actual family relation, these two both played their part. The exact time of initially getting to know Mia is Fuzzy, but each and every day we grew closer as best friends or buff’s if you will. One time while texting Mia she wrote buff instead of BFF, A.K.A we later adapted the name buff for each other. Her smarts put mine to the test as I

One rainy night in November, I arrived to the church gym for my first basketball practice of the season. As I walked in the doors creaked and you could smell the gym floor. As I already heard the basketballs hitting the ground, bouncing up and down. My friends Brittany and Destiny walked in right behind me through the door. That was when we realized we were the only girls surrounded by all guys. As practice came to a start we began to run, it felt like we were never going to stop. Up and down the court as we ran suicides, you could hear the squeaking of shoes as we went from the next line back and then on to the next. Before we started scrimmaging, the two captains were boys. Brittany, Destiny, and I stood in amazement as we were the last three standing there. You could see by their expressions they didn’t want any of us on either team.
