I have heard the phrase, “life isn’t easy”, so many times in my life. And I finally realized the truth in it.
It all started in the 9th grade, the first big hurdle. I was not quite sure what I wanted to do with my life. My mother wanted me to be a doctor and continue the family career choice, so I went with it. I took all Honors/AP classes, but the one elective that I wished to continue throughout high school was, theatre. I always had an interest in it. I was not a part of that world. My world before I moved to Alabama was figure skating. Due to money issues, I could not continue it, so I chose a new opportunity for a dream of “fame”. Everybody just believed it was a hobby, so I did too. My focus was on my academics. I was friends with a lot of people, but my best friend, Van and I were inseparable. I took friendship to the heart, it was hard for me to consider somebody to be my best friend, let alone, just my friend. Everyone was just considered an acquaintance. Van and I were both Asian. “What does that have to do with anything?” is what many people thought. Well, it had to deal with everything. We were able to relate to each other, with us both having “dragon” parents who pressured us about our grade, who would not allow

I did not have anyone truly that I could talk to throughout the day, I was going in blind, hoping to make new friends in my classes since the theatre people I befriended were all in the 12th grade. In the end, there was a girl who was in four of my classes out of seven, Samantha. Samantha was actually the first person to ever talk to me when I moved down to Alabama, we just never truly became friends until now. Everything was going well, I was put as the stage manager for The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), Samantha and I became best friends, (which to this day, we still are best friends), I had no issues with my studies, life seemed to be pleasing for a
I believe in having responsibility for my actions for the rest of my life. Responsibility can earn me a ton of things, such as money and treats. If I do an action or sometimes help my mother with an action, I gain a dollar or two or my mom gives me a treat, like Sweet Frog’s. In this case, I wouldn’t mind being responsible because it involves something that I care about dearly.
in 2014 I had done a lot of fundraising in the past year such as selling about 50 spam musubis a day plus cookies and brownies and even selling bentos and doughnuts ands finally trail mix bars during school. even outside of school I did fundraising from car washes to even mowing yards. eventually I made enough money with the help of all my family to get to go on the trip. I even made more money so I could relinquish it so I can buy gifts and such things like food. I'm not infallible at Japanese because it so happens that I cant read any of the signs that are in japan. when we landed in japan it was amazing because the airport was so huge and had paintings that look so amazing. when we got our luggage, it was pouring rain when we went outside to the bus. it was about an hour and a

Last year, in October during the cheerleader’s concert, that my mom and dad were singing at, I asked, “Do you want to dance?” My mom said, “yes”. Walking out to dance, she fell and accidently tripped me and landed on my ankle. It felt as if someone was breaking my leg in half. It got really numb where I couldn’t feel it, but I still knew I was in some pain. Picking me up off the ground, my mom sat me on the bleachers. Everyone came over there and it was really embarrassing. My dad carried me to the car and we drove to the dollar store to buy me an icepack to put on it.

I never would think about showing an animal. I decided to go wild and show a steer my junior year, I did not think about showing an animal so big before but it was worth the wild. I knew it would be hard work, dedication and responsibility. I worked so hard to get where I wanted that steer and it sure did pay off. Being successful is something that someone feels when they work for something that they tried so hard on and then succeeded in it. Success is the way I felt when I was getting ready for the show while I was standing to be called in my class and how I felt when I got out of the show ring.
The most nerve-wracking ordeal for any singer is executing a solo. Performing in an ensemble can be stressful in its own way, but making an error in that setting is far less of a problem. If one vocalist sings slightly flat or enters at the wrong time, it is hardly noticeable and is typically covered up by the rest of the choir. However, this safety net does not exist for the solo singer. All of the pressure to sing with near perfection falls squarely on your shoulders.
I can feel the tension in my muscles as the crowd readies itself for the main event.I prepared myself for the final match through boxing,dodging swings,running laps, inhaling when I hold back a punch and exhaling when I release the force of my punch.Without a doubt Gabriel has trained just as hard as I have and I still cannot beat him,until now.I felt more confident than ever as I walked out into the waiting eyes of the audience.I have climbed over many obstacles to get to the grand finale and I plan on seeing this fight to the end.
Growing up, I had a lot of amazing people to look up to, including my father. He was my hero and was always encouraging me to push myself and try new things. My father was in the military for many years and was a drill sergeant, so he was very good at persuading people to do things, my six year old self included. He taught me many lessons in life and has helped me grow as a person.
If you dedicate hard work and perseverance to anything you set your mind to, you can grab hold of your dream in triumph and success. This I believe
Deep in Unova, a forest was alive with the sounds of bug and bird Pokémon. A newly hatched Sewaddle crawled along the branch of a tall Oran berry tree, eyeing a particularly large, juicy looking Oran berry dangling tauntingly above its head. The small bug Pokémon reached up with two of its stubby legs, resting its body weight on its remaining four. Unfortunately for the Sewaddle, the berry was still out of reach. Growing frustrated, the little Pokémon raised its body higher and stood on only two of its six legs, its body straining as it tried to reach the berry.
“Sweetheart, can you pass me the butter off the kitchen counter?” I say to my daughter, who was supposed to be helping me cook. Sorry to say, she decided against it at the last minute.
“Trick or treat!” I say, nearly breathless. The pencils in my hair are slipping, my bathrobe is stifling, and we’re running out of time. “We’re with the Key Club, and we’re trick or treating for canned goods to donate to the food pantry. Do you have anything that you’d be willing to donate?”
As this issue was printing, a couple of editors decided to express their very strong opinions concerning O'Brien and his actions.
Near the end of 7th grade, Sydney and I started struggling with depression. It’s hard to be depressed and know your bestfriend is depressed too because someone has to be the strong one to anchor everyone’s feelings. So I took it upon myself to put my problems aside and help Sydney conquer hers. I put my best listening ears on and tried my best to put myself in her shoes. Finally, she slowly started to get better. And seeing her get better made me smile so much. She never thought she was going to get through it, but turns out all she needed was a friend to kinda guide her. Seeing her kinda defeat the depression was a huge wakeup call to me. Like I finally opened my eyes and realized I could get through it too. So I got rid of most of my depression with the help of Sydney guiding me just like I did with her. So by 8th grade we were closer than we had ever been before. We went into 8th grade together, hand in hand. As 8th grade started taking off it wasn’t so bad, but then that day came. The day I almost lost my best friend. No, I don’t mean she almost passed, I mean I almost physically lost her as a friend. I walked into school one day and she did all she possibly could to avoid me. I would smile and say “Hi”, but she wouldn’t respond. I was so confused and puzzled about what was going on. The day before she was perfectly fine. I kept trying to get her attention, but she would just avoid
