Truitt came to realize her love for children during her career so, she got her teacher certification and went back to school to receive her masters degree in educational administartion. This allowed her to become a exceptional education teacher while still residing in Florida in 2005. She continued teaching there until 2012, when she had he second child. As a single mother of two, she made the decicion to move back home to Abbeville where she knew had a supportive family. Continuing her career as a special education teacher in her home town lead her back to her high school sport of choice, cheerleading. When the cheer coach stepped down, Ms. Truitt was asked to take over and I will forever be grateful that she accepted the task. I was nervous to try out for cheerleading in 2015 because I knew that Ms. Truitt was somewhat of a tough teacher with a backgroung in criminal justice. Classmates that had cheered that year before encouraged me to try out anyway saying that it was not as bad as I thought. When I made the team I was ecstatic but still nervous to be around Ms. Truitt. It did not take long for me to find out just how wrong my first impression of her was. Within weeks of making the team, she had become a mother figure in my

The experience of coaching impacted me majorly, and helped to build my character to what it is today. This service project was not only extremely important to the community, it was also extremely important to me personally because I was able to express this love with young girls that were aspiring to follow my in footsteps. The pressure of having young girls look up to me in every aspect of life such as, cheerleading, academics, and character, added to the accountability of building my character to one that is desirable. Because I knew so many young girls were looking up to me, I made sure that I set the example that my five year old self once looked up

So AVID is my favorite class because it prepares us for college. My teacher, Mrs. Penley has been really supportive and she’s been there for us--- with all the questions we’ve had and she’s been like guiding us, to make sure we have everything in on time and making sure we do everything right. We’ve been together since freshmen year, and I feel like my whole class has gotten closer together and we feel like an actual family. We all help each other out.

I have been a member of the Olivet Boys and Girls Club for nine years; starting at nine. Throughout those years, they have taught me the many things that I put into play today. Spending most, if not all of my time at the Olivet’s, I tend to call it my second home. My mother used to always yell at me for not being home all the time. I just loved being there all the time. Through all the support of the Olivet family, I have been able to overcome many obstacles. For example, many may think that because of my height I would have picked basketball as my go to sport; however, that was not the case at all. Luckily, I had a unit director who would not take no for an answer and kept pushing me.

I have been fortunate to be the recipient of untold hours of guidance of my own coaches and mentors. I can only imagine the sacrifices they have made- time away from family and fatigue just to name a couple. As a result of their investment in me, I have had innumerable opportunities, not the least of which will be the opportunity to attend Rice next fall and play baseball for the Owls. I am doing my best to apply the lessons I've learned through Wylie high school sports, to my life and all the lives I touch through service. All of these lessons impacted my life immensely and will follow me through

A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon is able to connect to the world through many different scenarios and situations. These situations can be represented by George's irrational fear of having an unsolvable disease or death, Katie's self doubt about her future decisions, and Jean’s longing for something more than what she has. The human race is known and expected to make decisions and inevitably second guess themselves at the slightest provocation. All people should have experienced this and will continue to. A Spot of Bother accurately demonstrates this by providing specific and detailed situations that, in most cases, are blown completely out of proportion.

She didn’t know a lot about high jump like how to do her approach, so it gave me the chance to be a teacher to her. This experience made me realize that I really like working with people on trying to make themselves better. I also liked how it challenged me to think outside of the box to help her understand. For example, I taught her how to arch her back, so that her lower back would not hit the bar when jumping. Little experiences like that make me very confident that I am going into the right field and that I will have a positive effect not only in the field but also on the people I work with throughout my

Hamilton is like my second mom over the years she has always been a confidant. She’s someone I can always trust to be 100% honest with me and give me advice on everything. Ms.Riles ( the JV cheer coach) is another women that has impacted my life in the most positive way. She's like the big sister I never had but always wanted.

For that I am great full.I love both my coaches so much and I will miss them immensely but that values they have instilled in me are things that I will never forget. The thing I absolutely love and will always hold dear when it comes to cheer is that I now have sisters for life. Each and everyone of my sisters holds a special place in my heart. I have distinct special memories with each Of them that I will cherish forever. Just because the Friday night lights have ended for me doesn't mean that my life as a cheerleaders ends as well.

In “Miss Brill,” Katherine Mansfield utilizes Miss Brill’s thoughts and actions and the surroundings to characterize Miss Brill as a lonely character. Mansfield immediately introduces Miss Brill with a very odd scene that shows her conversation with the fur coat. This quickly and effectively establishes the type of person Miss Brill is. As a result, Mansfield suggests that Miss Brill is a lonely and an “abnormal” person to illustrate to the audience how society treats those who are not considered “normal” through the later actions of a young couple.

Who is John Galt? A question asked often throughout the course of the novel, John Galt is an unknowable entity, raised to mythical status by those who do not understand. John Galt is the man who stopped the motor of the world. He is the man who would not sit by while those thinkers, and innovators, those people who cared about the world, were slowly eradicated from it. The general masses of people, those sheep were willing to vilify those that threatened their sheltered lives, but John Galt would not stand for it. John Galt was the avenging angel of those who had had their life's work stolen from them by people claiming it was for the greater good, of those people who so desperately wanted to save the world, that they were willing to sacrifice

Ever sense I was a young girl I’ve been really into physical activities. At the age of five I started skating and instantly fell in-love. At the age of six my dad enrolled me into hockey, and from that point on my life has never been the same. I’ve had numerous opportunities in sports such as: winning gold and silver for U18 Team Canada hockey, and getting a scholarship to Wisconsin University to play on the women’s hockey team. Although these moments are surreal, it is not only the moments that I remember but the mentors and teachers that I have been fortunate to meet along the way. These coaches have not only taught me the game but have also taught me life values such as: teamwork, leadership, discipline, time management and much more. Without hockey, and sports in general I don’t know where I would be today, but I do know one thing and that is without sports I wouldn’t have met all the amazing people that helped guided me towards wanting to become a physical education teacher. Sports have always been a huge part of my life, and I am blessed to have sports guide me through life. Thus, I want to become a teacher to help kids have the same opportunities that I had growing up.

Mr. Davit Shanto and I have worked closely together for the past year and a half. During that timespan, Davit has been a self-starter and an industrious contributor to the team endeavors. In addition to having an extraordinary degree of integrity and that type of person that brings out the best in those around him; he is one of those unique character who can both follow directions and take the leadership role, as appropriate. He is one of those individuals where I depended on him if I asked him or put him on projects, that either the task or project will be done by a certain deadline. He is strong in time management and his competence extends above and beyond the skills for which he was initially hired.
