Meridian Hawk Descriptive Writing

Over the course of the past four years, I can thank Orange High School for making an immensely positive impact on my life. I have made a wealth of incredible memories, endured numerous challenging obstacles, and formed deep relationships with a number of my peers, teachers, and faculty members that will last a lifetime. The benefits from my time as a Panther will undoubtedly carry with me forever.

Those things are probably not going to happen. Imagine there are going to have teachers there, and they are watching a student not their child. They would take care of them way more than you think. Mainly because if anything happen to their own child under someone else supervision they would mad. So, teachers and staff know how important every pupil is to their parent/guardian. Plus, it’s more likely for your kid to get hurt at school then on the trip because there are a bunch more kids at school then on the trip. You might say that we can’t afford it, you won’t have to pay a dime, no you won’t even have to pay a penny! If you help your child fundraise, they could pay for their entire trip, including spending money! Plus, if your paycheck is under $80,000 you can get money knocked off the total, so you could fundraise for spending

Waking up before the rising sun on the morning of the hunt left me feeling groggy with my eyes slow to open and close when blinking. Being extra quiet to not wake up my mother was a main challenge, trying to tippy toe around the cabin and dodging the creaky spots in the floor. Prior to eating breakfast, I began getting dressed. Due to the fact that I was in northern Minnesota, the weather was bone chilling and the wind would seep right through your layers onto your unexpecting skin. Once I had put on my long johns, sweatpants, and long sleeve shirt with a tee shirt on top I began to make my breakfast. I had decided to have scrambled eggs that were cooked to perfection with the yolk golden mixed in with the pure snow white egg white and flakes of pepper sprinkled throughout and toast with butter melted onto the crunchy outside making it soft with homemade strawberry jam spread thick on top.

Nestled snuggly into the Blue Ridge Mountains was Ridgecrest, North Carolina. Getting there was no joke seeing as the ears popped every five minutes, but the scenery was beautiful.

I had a feeling that I would attend that school, and what were my chances sooner than later it was. The whole month of September I was considered or actually labeled as the new girl, which I highly disliked because I have a name. I had no friends whatsoever, gym class was the worst since I was always alone, and my teachers thought that I wasn’t bright as the other students were, but one day that all had changed. I can admit that out of the past seven years I have lived here in Laredo, Texas I have learned so much, skills that include communication, leadership, multitasked, and organizer. Have helped me in some part of my life to make me the young women I am today. Yes, I do admit I am not perfect I do make mistakes, but I have learned through past experiences to get up and try again as many times I fall. Many might say that my actions describe who I am, but the truth is that it is my character who describes me from in and out.

Thinking back through my time at Dekalb High School, I sit back in awe wondering how I made it this far. I sit back and wonder and remember the good memories, bad memories, and the unforgettable people I have met. Its crazy to think I made it this far. Its awesome to think how I’ve changed as a person from a immature freshman, to a trying finding myself as sophmore, to being a Junior and getting with the program, and now a Senior getting ready to graduate. I truly have learned life lessons, and truly gained accomplishments in my time here.

Imagine a place where everyone is accepted for who they are. A place where kids can discover their true calling and begin to pursue it. A place where the whole community is united in a bond of friendship and trust. No, this place is not heaven, it is South Pointe. I can’t believe that three years have gone by so fast. Three years of learning how to deal with so many classes. Three years of meeting so many great teachers that changed my way of thinking. Three years of making new friends and discoveries that have made my time here at South Pointe so memorable. Here, at South Pointe, I evolved not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. It helped me learn that it’s never too early to find out what your true passion or career goal

Mount Tahoma has been the most spirited school I had ever seen and experienced. I just love the positive energy and the diversity here, and as an introvert myself, Mount Tahoma makes everyone feel like they belong and part of the school. I'm glad to call myself a Mount Tahoma T-Bird.

Why is UMS-Wright special? UMS-Wright is much more than a name. It is honor, integrity, perseverance, and the future. From K-5 to senior year this school has developed our character. At times, it may have seemed repetitive. Some of us deem the countless assemblies, advisory classes, writing of the honor pledge and speeches on value unnecessary. This is where they are wrong. Most schools have one basic goal, to teach. However, they do not teach character. Character must be developed, it must be introduced not forced, it must influence not dominate. Our school has done this in exceptional and even sometimes subtle ways. Words of wisdom painted on the wall for everybody to see, where we instinctively repeat them in our head when we read them.

In life, only one thing is definite: death is inevitable. Robert Penn Warren, in his poem “Evening Hawk,” uses an extended metaphor and syntax to depict a bleak mood, thus conveying the message that no one can escape death. Over the course of the poem, Warren proclaims that we as humans must not waste our time because life is short and death can strike at any time.

The painting Nighthawks perfectly portrays a late night in a downtown diner during the 1940’s. The dull expressions leaking off the people’s faces give off a quiet mood. When you first look at the picture your eyes catch notice to how the diner is radiating a fluorescent light through the long continuous windows into the cold dark street illuminating the neighboring buildings. A sign above the diner shows what looks to be a cigar and under that the words read to be “Only 5 C”. The word Phillies Stretches across the whole sign which leads me to believe they are advertising Phillies, or that is the name of the small diner.

In his poem “Evening Hawk”, Robert Penn Warren describes the ominous flight of the hawk through the eyes of a human narrator who admires the hawk to reveal the power of nature over the human race as the world comes to an end warning them to correct the error of their ways before it is too late. He conveys this using juxtaposition of movements of the and the description of the setting, the ironic viewpoint of the narrator,

Although most would say our senior class was disappointing in regards to state titles, I do not think I could be any prouder of a group of people. I learned what it means to be unconditionally a part of an athletic team, whether athlete or fan. I would not give up being part of Second Place Academy for anything. My experience changed me for the better; in ways a ring and a trophy could

It is the year 2032 and I am a profile-writer for GQ. This particular year is monumental because it marks the 75th year of GQ‘s publication and my editor, Jim Nelson, plans to do it big for the entire world to see — literally. To mark the occasion, the magazine is featuring the 75 most stylish men of the past 75 years.

I have strong pride for the montbello community and my school because they have shaped the person I am today. I learned how to be persistent with Coach Nicki and Larmont during basketball practice. I developed leadership skills from my national honor society and student council adviser. I discovered friendships that I would not have found at any other DPS school. The Staff at DCISM have pushed me in unimaginable ways that have strengthened my characteristics. Although I love Montbello, it wasn’t always like that. When I first filled out the school choice form I wanted to go to a traditional High School and DCISM wasn’t. For the first three years of my high school career, I felt the lack of school spirit and I was frustrated with the separation
