I am thoroughly excited to possess the opportunity to go to my top school of choice, Norfolk State University! They make sure that they thoroughly prepare
A sense of humility came over me as I searched to find my way. It was difficult to make new friendships overnight. In this time I learned to branch out and find the right people to build relationships with. Sometimes it was hard to find the right people. I had optimism that the year would go great, and I overcame the doubts in my mind. The treatment I received from my classmates was humbling. Their appreciation made me feel comfortable in my new surroundings. Looking back to my first day at Larned makes me realize how great it was. I learned valuable lessons about myself and how to become a better person because of
It is unknown the exact date of Saint George’s birth, but scholars say it was most likely in 236 AD in the city of Lydda. His parents were Gerontius, a Roman officer, and Polychronia, a Greek native of Lydda. Both of his parents were Christians from noble families and raised George to be the same (St. George –Saints & Angels-Catholic Online). George was in Diocletian's army since his seventh year (Larson). Diocletian was the Roman Emperor at the time of Saint George who had a powerful hate of Christians. By his late 20s, George served as an imperial guard for the Emperor at Nicomedia. On February 24, 303 A.D., Diocletian announced that he would arrest every Christian. He also declared that every other soldier should offer a sacrifice to the Roman gods. George refused Diocletian’s order, but Diocletian had a great relationship with George’s father. Diocletian bribed George to believe in pagan gods, but George refused. Diocletian eventually ordered his death. Before his death, George gave money to the poor and went through torture sessions (St. George-Saints & Angels-Catholic Online). It is unknown the exact way that George died; some say chopped into pieces, others say buried to death, and others say consumed by fire (St. George). George died on April 23, 303, which is his feast day in today’s world
Immediately at the beginning of the first semester I knew this was going to be a life-changing experience. I could feel the passion that the instructors had for their jobs, and just how much every single person who works at Lone Star cared about my success. When you're young and just arriving at college, you think you will have to do it all yourself, but I learned that it was not just me working towards my success, but everyone involved at Lone Star, from my classmates to the professors and all the other staff as well. It was like everybody was pulling for me, and that gave me a lot of strength. There were times when it was difficult the course material could be challenging but that is when I felt the Lone Star community shine through the most. I could not be more grateful for that.
I am very broadly known to be adventurous. I love to go to different places and explore many things. Another hobby of mine is photography; the ability to capture a memory or special moment in a picture so that you can remember it for a lifetime. That is why if I had a ticket in my hand, to go anywhere in the world, I would go to Australia. The world’s largest coral reef is located in Australia, it’s called the Great Barrier Reef. I would absolutely love to go scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef and explore the mysteries of the underwater world. I would be able to take underwater pictures and hold on to them forever, so that even when I leave the sea and leave Australia, the excitement and adrenaline will never leave me.

If I died tomorrow, I wanted to go ice-fishing (which has always been a dream of mine), and also learn how to dance ballet.
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

The damages were catastrophic as houses lay in ruin and debris littered the roads. There were mudslides and fallen rocks that paved the roads and made them impassible for vehicles to get through. Ultimately by the roads being clogged up the response time by rescue workers and essential personal were hampered. This also made it exceptionally difficult for supplies to be rushed to the locations for the earthquake survivors. As some were digging and excavating for survivors they were being halted by aftershocks and falling debris from above. Approximately 8000 people were killed either by their houses caving in or by the other disasters this earthquake triggered. It was a real life tragedy that
I had a very unique adjust meant to GCU, I transferred in the Friday before classes started which was on Monday so I didn't have much time to prepare or get myself ready to start at a new school. I transferred in and it clearly was not planned I originally went to Marist College which is in Poughkeepsie, New York. I played softball for Marist which is division one, I loved every second of it. There was something missing being away at school, it made me realize how much I miss my family and how dependent I am on them emotionally. I handle myself very well physical and mentally but emotionally I needed to have my family with me for support.
About half way between Ishpeming and Champion lies Wawonowin Country Club. This will forever be one of my favorite places in the world. Wawonowin is the place I learned to play my favorite sport golf. Also it could be considered my second home growing up. During the summer when I’m not home, most likely you will find me here. To others it may seem like just your average golf course, but to me it is one of the nicest places on earth.
I came in as a scared little freshman. I’m pretty sure I peed my pants on the way to school. There was no need for me to be afraid because my brother was going into his senior year. The amount of times he told me there is nothing to worry about and everything is going to be okay was a very large amount. Of
