Meridian Hawk Descriptive Writing

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.

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.

The pungent saltiness of the bayou is like the nostalgic smell of gasoline, repulsive and nauseating but irresistible. Looking in one direction I could swear that I was in the midwest. Cow pasture is stretched out for miles. Taking in the landscape completely, however, is like looking at my childhood bedroom that I shared with my sister. Although this is one place, there are two worlds here, separated into two perfectly portioned pieces. This land is a shared space between deep swamps and flat plains, with a near perfect line drawn down the center separating the two. The cows and alligators own this land for most of the year. The only time they are taken away from their home is for a week in the spring. The fertile land is transformed into T-Bois Blues Festival, an event that is the culmination of a tight knit group of friends and colleagues working together for one common goal. The desire to propagate

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

“3rd and 10 on the Dragons 40 yard line, 20 seconds to go. 10 to 7 Dragons are leading, timeout Cougars as they talk things over.” Hi I’m Ryan Hobbes, I bet you’re wondering what is happening. Well I play for the Cougars varsity high school football team in New York. I’m in 11th grade and I want to go all the way. Anyway off of me, I’m in a game right now versus our rival team the Dragons. I’m the top wide receiver on our team, but I have not gotten a lot of action this game. It’s a close game and I am listening to my coach in the timeout as he is very confident in us.

This is the self-proclaimed "King Cobra" of our school. He is very outspoken and opinionated. Even though I had piles of work day in and day out, It was extremely helpful to me in my future. He did not discriminate against me just because I was a freshman. He literally ate me up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Although the work was hectic, Tisdale is an excellent and very professional

As we waited for our food, I took to peering out the diner’s large storefront window that we seated ourselves next to and I people watched as the citizens of Mt. Harrison went on about their daily lives.

The beach in Wildwood is nothing short of paradise. Placed among a bright blue sky with wispy white clouds, the sun lights up and warms everything. Seagulls soar in the air, cawing every so often. Light winds carry the scent of saltwater, earth, and sunscreen. Silty, off-white sand stretches on for miles in either direction, dotted by people. Tanners lie on bright beach towels. Children run, laugh, build sandcastles, and dig moats along the shore. Families and friends gather under multicolored umbrellas on folding chairs. Conversations mix with the sound of the ocean. The cool water creates an endless blue pool, speckled with people. White tips among the sea mark the crest of waves. They curl over and crash onto the shore, sounding like a million

Passing the Fernwood sign, as I approach her gravesite early morning before work on 7/10/15 at 6:30 AM. I drive up an uneven gravel driveway dodging the grooves, looking at the back mirror noticing the dust my back tires are kicking up. The feeling of crunch vibrating off my tires, as the feeling you get when you are getting a massage on the nail salon massage chair. Just the calm vibration running from your toes to the fingers on the steering wheel. The grooves freshly filled with water from the rain the night before. Driving past the rusted looking water pumps used to feed the plants. Looking through window, noticing all different flowers laying on individual gravestone. Some vary from fake flowers but most are real freshly bloomed flowers,

The chief offered his hand and escorted Dana to the next area. A force field dropped and lights popped on ahead of them, leading down a circular corridor, Dana recognized the place. They were in the old mines. Now, these mines were transformed into sheen tunnels, led to rooms with protected secrets for the future. Her heart pounded faster with excitement plumbing through her veins.
