The Decision Lauren, Lauren, bo-bauren. Banana-fana fo-fauren, Fee-fi-moo-mauren. Lauren! Names are more than something students learn at the beginning of a school year. A person’s name allows one to make prejudices about someone. My name Lauren fits me well. The history of the name Lauren, the meaning, and the personality associated with Lauren all concur with who I am. A person’s name defines who they are, as Lauren defines whom I am.
The name Lauren is derived from the word laurel2. Laurel is a common reoccurance throughout history; the most famous example is Greece. Greece became connected to laurel when the daughter of a river God, Daphne, transformed into it. The God Apollo fell in love with Daphne, but she constantly rejected potential

Lauren’s tend to be very visual, kinesthetic, and musical1. I am very visual. Two summers ago, my friend from California was visiting Michigan State University. I went to visit him with two of my other michigander friends. Then was my first time at Michigan State’s campus. My group walked around campus for a while, when someone mentioned they wanted to go to Insomnia Cookies. My group had passed it earlier in the trip, but thought nothing of it. No one knew how to get back there except me. I am also kinesthetic. I am a part of them STEM academy. There are no power point lectures in STEM curriculum, I gain my information from hands on activities. Last year I learned and mastered multiple different languages of code through trial and error. I am also extremely musical. All through middle school I played clarinet in the band. Each quarter I ended with a 100% in the class. In eighth grade my teacher began doing chairs, which are a ranking system for each section of the band. My goal was to be first chair, however, I didn’t prepared for it. When my band teacher passed the tests back, I received a 100%. She went on to explain, to the whole class, that she rarely ever gave out perfect test scores, only the best of the best received
I didn’t think I was very special, the only that set me apart was that I read a lot more than other kids. I didn’t see a change in my school work and what I wanted to do until I met 2 of my biggest inspirations. I took accelerated reading in 7th and 8th grade but I didn’t much care for going the extra mile until my last year in my junior high. She was my 8th grade English teacher, Mrs. McDermott, and she was the first honest teacher I ever had. She swore in her everyday speech and didn’t care for nonsense. I was so used to writing the same basic papers over and over until she wrote “Bullshit” at the top of one of my papers. I loved it. She was incredibly smart and wanted us to do better, I liked what she stood for. From then on, I became a man of common sense, someone who didn’t “bullshit” in school. So, in high school I took as many AP and Honors classes I could. It wasn’t until my junior year where I met my 2nd inspiration, my AP US teacher Ms. Boone. I realized I could have all the goals I want but it would mean nothing without having passion. She was the most passionate teacher I ever had, it was radiating. I finished school as an AP Scholar and Honor student. I was only ever good enough to play soccer in high school so I played 2 years on varsity and was team captain my final year. Those 3 are the only notable awards I’ve received in high school but I think they’re admirable. I feel I will do much better academically in
After observing, communicating with, and analyzing the work of Kayson Maciel-Andrews, I have learned many things about working with advanced students in a low-achieving classroom.

I have excelled at every subject, achieving various honors throughout my years at Bellefonte. I have challenged myself greatly by taking various engineering classes at the high school, so that I can see what is to come in my future. These courses are designed to push students outside of the normal classroom routine, making me focus on real world applications of the material. In these courses, and all of my schoolwork I strive for perfection, pushing myself to my limits to achieve it. When faced with challenges I strive to overcome them in any means necessary. I strive to have challenges in my schoolwork, so that I can push myself to solve them. I do not back away from any challenge, rather I seek for them to show myself, and others what is
Friends, family and faith are all necessities of life, but what humans need the most is the ability to make the right choices. On September 11 2001, Lauren Manning’s life was changed forever. Though previously she had learned the importance of perseverance and faith, on that day, she finally knew what it meant and how truly important it was. On this tragic day, Lauren prayed to die because of the insane amount of pain she was experiencing, but chose to fight for the sake of her beloved husband and son instead. Even though Manning had not died, more than 80% of her body was burned and she now faced the challenge of embracing her altered life. Throughout her struggles, Lauren clung to her inner strength and faith to pass this test of human endurance.
I have, honestly, always performed to my best ability in all of my classes and I will continue to strive for excellence at Bishop Noll. I am very motivated and extremely hardworking in the classroom. My elementary and middle school grades on a difficult scale and is very competitive, but I have always managed to get high grades. My two older brothers have always motivated me to perform my best in school, and if I didn’t have them to push me I definitely would not have the self-determination and stamina that I do now. I have been on A or A-B honor roll for as long as I can remember but that is not because I am gifted or extraordinary, it is because I work extremely hard, have had excellent examples and teachers, and am incredibly motivated. I am very proud of the grades I have gotten and the work that I have done at my current school, and I look forward to achieving all of the goals that I have for myself in high

In the garden of Eden, rather than name the animals himself, God bestowed the responsibility upon Adam. In the book of Genesis, it states that “...the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them.” (Genesis 2:19) God entrusted Adam, the man who would later eat from the fruit of knowledge and be kicked out of Eden, to name all of the animals in his creation. Having created all man in his image, God gave Adam the knowledge and capability to name all of the animals in his kingdom. No other human being has been created by the work of god alone. This unique connection thus enables Adam to name the animals just as God himself would have done so. The names that Adam
At Sulphur High School, copious students trample through the halls day after day, but one student captures my attention. In between classes, I pass her every day. People address her as Allie, but her ID reads Allison Hill. From watching her for a while, I perceive Allie as a quiet, smart, and independent girl.
