Personal Narrative: Joining The Envirothon Team

Group project, as defined by the Business Dictionary: A collection of individuals that come together to achieve a stated objective. Group project, as previously defined by myself: a dreadful situation that I would try to avoid as much as humanly possible.

As lofty clouds lower their shoulders against the horizon, the sky likes to have its way with me, a warm front’s humid body slides along my skin, gently whispering against the arch of my back to curl around my waist and stretch along my spine.

My team and I was starting to play the game and we were up to bat first. I was the sixth in line to bat so it felt like forever for me to bat and once you're up there and the ball is coming at you, you just want to run away from the ball. When I hit the ball I ran as fast as i could and i could feel the wind carry me to first base. Then it was our turn to field and once you're out there you can just feel the tasteless dirt in your mouth. When you make a good play it makes you feel all good inside.

Throughout the course of our lives, we must collaborate with people who may have completely different upbringings and have vastly different belief systems than what we may hold ourselves. One scenario in my life in which I had to collaborate with someone different than me was when I had to work with an overly aggressive football player who was a year younger. He started on the freshmen team but soon became the starting quarterback of the varsity team when he was a sophomore. I was on the JV team and was the backup quarterback both my junior and sophomore year. We came from different social groups, and I worried that we would not get along on or off of the field.

As I step out onto the field I smack in the face the aroma of the freshly cut grass. I get the sense of being home after a long trip away. It’s great to be home where I know I have fans that will cheer us on. The grounds crew is out working on the field to get it ready for the game later tonight.

As I sat at the long table in a classroom with over a thousand kids, I was ready to start the state science test that I had worked so hard to study for. As I nervously sat there waiting, it dawned on me that this, science and chemistry, is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

One time, when I was in El Salvador, my aunt had to go to a meeting with her husband. My grandma and my aunt work at a store inside the house. My aunt wanted someone to help my grandma work the store. no one wanted to help her out, so I volunteered to help her out. So my aunt left me and my grandma in charge of the store, so I went to the back because that’s where the store is at and helped my grandma sell some home necessities. (because that’s what we sell in there we also sell chips and food and stuff). My grandmas job was to get the money and my job was to get the stuff the people wanted. Working with my grandma was so fun cause she makes the funniest jokes and she's really nice

I would like to start off by apologizing for my repeated absences. Lately I have been busy with school, work, and college planning. I realize this is no excuse as we all have made sacrifices to be fully prepared for whatever this trip may endure. This trip, along with the benefit of our team, is my top priority. I by no means take the importance of teamwork lightly; as Carla says, the trip starts long before we step foot in the airport. Again I'm very sorry and this is my commitment that I will a better teammate and be more

When I started doing cheerleading in high school, I discovered the Leadership Council. It was a small of group of cheerleaders that participated in activities in order to provide service to our community. On a Monday, after school, we drove to a trailer park to participate in an organization. That was the start of my involvement with The Path Project. When I first got there, I realized that it was a community where kids were not worried about petty things, instead they were concerned about what they would eat the next day or how they would focus at school. Children in this situation are not able to enjoy being children because they are dealing with poverty, abuse, and neglect. This was a community full of at-risk children and teenagers who

Ever since I can remember I have stayed busy by participating in every activity I could get my hands on. Spending so much of my time working on getting that perfect pass, mastering a triple pirouette, and focusing on school  has taught me what it means to have a hard work ethic. Through being involved in so much and having many people’s support I have learned who I want to be. My grandmothers have impacted my life in unimaginable ways and encourage me to strive for what I want to be: a marine biologist.

My initial Ecological Footprint done on May 25,2016 If everyone on the planet lived like me we would need 5.7 Earths to provide enough resources. It takes 25.4 acres ignorer to support my lifestyle. In order to drop my footprint by 0.4 I decided to only eat meat once a week and also to recycle daily items that I use for example water bottles and other plastics I also plan to car pool or maybe even walk to places when I can the following places I would most likely car pool or walk to would be library, gacory store, family events, park, and also the gym all these places are pretty close to me living in the Macedonia community.

The year was 2005 and I remember how excited I was to be starting first grade; a new teacher, new friends, it was going to be an exciting year. I had only been in school for a couple of weeks when Hurricane Katrina made land fall decimating the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I vaguely remember boarding up the house, and packing clothes and important items in order to evacuate. After two or three days of travel, we ended up at my grandparents’ house in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was while I was in Cincinnati that I was introduced to community service. After learning about the major devastation that Katrina caused, my parents could not just sit and do nothing. Over the next couple of weeks we reached out to family and long time friends to raise donations of clothing and supplies. I distinctly remember, one day, my mom’s former college roommate and her family pulling up with a huge

I wake up something is different in the environment. I hear a lot of sounds; it comes out of the room where I am. It´s different sound from everything I heard before. I´m continue walking outside the room, immediately I see a strange artifact, which I have never seen before. I´m looking it so excited, because it´s capable to produce sounds and colors by itself, also there is wonderful women there. It is too thin to contain a woman inside; perhaps they shrouded her.

Our very first stop on the tour was one that really stood out to me that I found interesting. Our first stop was the new GI Green Infrastructure, which I didn’t know was in our community until we stopped there. It was built to soak up some of the storm water to keep it out of the sewer system; before this tour I also didn’t know there was a flooding problem in the area. I think it is great that this system/ garden area is in this community for them to enjoy. They can’t go garden down there, or play, or take their pets near, but it is a beautiful garden for them to look at and it is helping their community.

Later on around the 5th grade, I started to read more Non-fiction books. I got really intrigued into animal books. I read almost every animal book at Cliffside. I read Birds, Fish, Tigers, really any animal books, But what I really liked was the ocean books. Seeing how huge the ocean was, really caught my attention.
