The things I carry with me as I walk around Radford is a cluster of mixed emotions. I have anxiety about meeting new people and how to leave my comfort zone. I feel overwhelmed because I have never gone this long without seeing my family. I have doubtfulness in the ability for me to succeed. I stress about the grades I may receive on assignments that aren’t even due. I strive to make outstanding grades that I know I could achieve if I break my lazy habits. Not only do I carry around mixed emotions and bad habits, but I also carry around my teal and purple Adidas backpack that weighs 20 pounds. In my backpack are things that cause me to have anxiety. My MacBook weighs 4.5 pounds which contains quizzes, assignments, and my personal information.
Threads to Which I belong is a book that captivated my soul. As I read through the pages of history, I found myself traveling back in time. Invisible I stood in Mississippi watching a family’s history unfold. As I turned the pages, my emotions changed constantly. I experienced emotions of anger, disgust, sorrow, and happiness. The author has written an outstanding piece of work that forces you to consider researching your own family history.
In this project, I collected and shot twenty of my personal objects, some of them carries my past, some of them are related to my life.
People say that I’m too young to have problems in my life but they don’t know that even though I’m only sixteen years old, life forced me to become a mature person at a young age. I see things differently than most teenagers, which means that it’s harder for me to fit in. I’m not good at making friends, I’m very selective but I like to help people if they need me. My crucible started since I came to the United States when I was twelve, and after that my life has been so different.
Having a dad that is in the military can be tough. I had to adapt to new places and go through situations that made me doubt who I really could be. Through it all my family has always been there for me. When I moved to Virginia it was hard for me to adapt. After I joined the soccer team the situation brightened up. It’s coming to that time of leaving my family. They will be moving to Knoxville, Tennessee when I graduate. Radford is close to Tennessee but still in Virginia. I seek to join Radford’s nursing program and soccer program. Radford has everything that I dream in a college and more.
As we continued along the trail, we were stopped by a very steep hill. Hunter announced that we should dump some stuff from our wagon in order to get on top of the hill. I dump my a tired that I bought recently and a barrel with nothing in it. The trip up the hill was a pain. It took so long to get up the hill I almost fell asleep. My leg was sore and I thinking about giving up. Finally we made it to the top of the hill and we realized that we had to go down the hill. We decided to use our own ropes and slowly descend our wagon one by one. When we descend Curtis’s wagon, Curtis almost fell. He was able to caught himself before he fell down the hill. Well all went down the hill and as we were going down the hill, we saw a divine blue spring
What I wanted on summer vacation made me end with a heavy debt on my shoulders. The debt that I haven?t paid off yet to my dad. Buying the PC was a good idea, but I messed it up myself. Last school holiday I had the bright idea to buy a PC, PCs are strong, easy to use, and reliable. I am a guy who wants to experience all fields of gaming, when some people like calm and relaxing games. Others might like driving, sports, strategy games, or some action. For me, I try all types of games, so to do that I have to get myself a PC, and what?s cheaper than building one yourself (at least what it?s normally like).
Delano then pulled a gun from his ankle holster and places it on the table top. --
I carry my backpack, and it is heavy with books. I carry these books on the lives and details of the living creatures in front of me: the ants, the bugs, the worms. I carry the memories of all that time in my life spent looking at the ground, observing these tiny lives lived mostly underneath pavement. I will never be small enough to go underneath the pavement, so I carry the duty to avoid killing the creatures that can. I carry an odd feeling of kinship with arthropods. I picked it up somewhere when I was small, maybe because I liked feeling gigantic in comparison, and I never removed it, although I have gained perspective. I carry the knowledge now that I am human. Being human means inheriting a legacy of callousness and I
Everything I carry is for memories. The papers, the jewlery, the photos and thoughts, the hope. The thing I’ve carried the longest is my necklace. A thin silver chain with a small amethyst gem. It was given to me on my 16th birthday, really the day after. Right before the Christmas dance. I wear this necklace everday and only take it off when I really need to. My younger cousin comes to visit me and whenever she sees it she calls it a little star. Whenever I get nervous I just hold it and move it up and down along the chain. Of the many things I carry, this necklace is most important to me. Crammed in all the corners of my pockets are silly things, wrappers and receipts, loose change and scrap peices of paper I’m too lazy to throw away. But
Growing up in a small town can be difficult if you are a curious person. Until about halfway through my sophomore year I was completely content with going to a college near home, graduating, doing my job, and settling down right back in Middleville Michigan where I had grown up. Something changed though, it’s difficult to pinpoint what made me do a complete 180 to be the person who wants to travel, go to school ten hours away, have an actual and incredibly successful career. The whole way I thought changed.
Since I was a child, I’ve had quite the knack for rushing. I was one who could never stop, just keep going. I knew I had so much to achieve yet so little time as well as someone with a goal. However, until now I never realized how much sorrow the loss of a goal can cause. It just slips through fingers as if it was clear water. After pushing and struggling for so long, the prize was just beyond my reach. Alas, I would never reach out and grab it. The little change made such a big impact. To others the change that I’m reciting is not a very important feat, in fact it is a change many would laugh at. However, only I can see its importance, as it is I who has lost it. This all starts with a small video game that I know now made me the ambitious
The object I carry is a black leather key chain from a dream car I want. My dad’s friend gave it to me when i was about 6 years old. It is a hand made kangaroo black leather keychain with a light brown stitching.It feels like a small leather medieval shield with a metallic engraved logo that has red and gold stripes, a black horse in the middle and some reef shapes on the bottom left and top right sections. I always just used to have it laying around and wouldn’t really value it. The keychain was as big as my hand when I was 6 and I would use it like a little shovel to make little moat for my “imaginary castle” in the backyard. I never honestly cared about it until I saw the same logo on a car while my family and I were coming home from a road
I was not always who I am today. Although I am still considered young and my people live longer than most, my experiences have aged me beyond most of the elder elves that I have met.
My wRite of Passage topic connects to my believes in many different ways. Not only Planets and Galaxies, but space in general has always fascinated me. In so many ways space has affected what I believe, when I was young I thought that the sky was the sky and that was that, or that space was blue and clear all the time. What I learned as I got older is that our sky is like a wall preventing us from seeing what is behind it, but when the sun goes down and it gets dark outside the wall goes down. I can see everything in space. Stars, the moon, and even planets if you look close enough. My thoughts have changed over time about what is in space. At first I thought that our planet was the only planet that had life and that there was only one small galaxy that was
He wanted to know why was Wes talking to Marie while she was sick. I thought of my answer for a long time and finally said Marie has some information for your dad to hear. He thought the BIA handled their problems but I told him that Wes was just helping her. I walked away not far from David to a tree. I told David that I liked the wind. It was true. The wind reminded me of North Dakota. My dad use to curse the wind and say it was carrying the topsoil and giving it to South Dakota. I always loved the wind though. I loved the way it felt. David told me it makes good fishing because it riffles the water so the fish won't be able to see you. I told him the wind had a different smell here. In North Dakota the wind always smelled like dirt. Even
