Personal Narrative: What Can Be Done Before Spring Break

When humans entered the Iberian Peninsula almost 32000 years ago, the first civilization of Spain was formed. Since then, the country has traveled from an era of prehistoric Iberia to the Middle Ages to a rise as an empire and a member of the European Union .

When I was first notified that I had to attend the Summer Transition Program, I was upset. I thought that it was a complete waste of my summer. Now, I don’t want to imagine what would have happen to me if I wasn’t part of the program. Deep down  I was afraid of moving all the way to Virginia. I knew no one and was all alone. Thanks to the Transition Program,  I made life long friendships and acquaintances, got acclimated to living in virginia and have some of the best experience of my life.

My spring project was at YMCA. At the YMCA, I was doing different physical activities with children and adults. The first activity that my team and I did was parachute. I have never play parachute and it was very new to me. When the event start, my team and I started to play with parachute by ourselves so we can get used to it and thinking different ways to use the parachute for the children to have fun. At first, there were not many children coming around, so my team and I advertised it by playing around with it and smiling which led children to be interested in the activity. The parachute activity went really well. Adults were able to participate with their children in the activity and they were having fun and enjoying themselves. Another

After sitting at the same desk for three years, I figured I was beyond seeing anything new. I was wrong. After that third year I saw a lot more than I thought I would. I went up to high school and everything was so much different. The grades were harder, the assignments were harder and the teachers were harder.

I had just gotten out of school for winter break at Greensburg Public School in Greensburg, Kentucky. We had a four day weekend to do whatever my family and I wanted to do. The three of us decided that we would take the time off to go visit my sickly grandmother who lived at a nursing home in Louisville about two hours away. So we packed our bags and left for Louisville. It was a cold, rainy mid February day in rural Kentucky. I was riding in the back seat of my parents car. My dad was driving and my mom was reading a book in the passenger seat. We were only about thirty miles out of Louisville, Kentucky when the joy of visiting my sick grandmother was replaced with fear for our own lives. We were totally blindsided when the semi-truck

Having to take summer school somewhat shows that I did not learn much throughout regular school year. I did have some things stick with me and help me through summer school. I learned a few things throughout my time in summer school. Three things that I learned are, the importance of showing up, to be a better organizer, and Mr. McGee likes to talk very much.

Jamaica, a small island, in the Caribbean, known for its music and rich culture. The people are vibrant and live by the motto “we don’t have problems, we have situations.” One will most likely never hear the word “depression’ thrown around in Jamaica. But, does it exists? Sure it does! Only not as much as the United States, and there is minimal need for prescription medications. Many people, living in Jamaica, utilize music, and the land (therapeutic streams, walks in the valleys, and the beaches) to heal their sorrows. Many people within the United States do not have the luxury of these things or the time to take a dip or walk in Nature. Instead, they are encouraged to take medications to heal their sadness, whether it is depression episodes

Dyan, I enjoy going to the city of Jenks. I would consider moving to Jenks if I didn’t work for the government in OKC. The commute would be too much for me. Like you I have recently decided to return back to school this will be my third class toward Organizational Leadership degree. It seems we have a few things in common. I as well have two teenagers, so I understand how crazy life can get trying to balance work, life, and school. Good Luck, I hope you succeed in getting your

What did you learn over the summer? Everybody has something that they enjoyed learning during summer school. Maybe what one person enjoyed learning another did not. It is ok for people to enjoy learning completely different things. There are many different things that were taught during the summer like lessons on life, how to write essays, how to take notes properly, and many more things. These are my favorite things I learned this summer and this is why.

There isn’t much I do in the Summer. I go biking, swimming, and sleeping, for the most part during Summer time. All of this changed the Summer of 2009. I was sitting in the backseat by myself. My two brothers were in the next seats, then my parents. The heat this Summer was brutal. The heat was like being a gladiator in the Roman Colosseum that has no chance of winning. The only thing, besides the heat, that made this horrible was that I was going to a waterpark. This would be a gift for many kids, but it wasn’t for me. I had a terrible fear of waterparks. I’m not sure why it was just something I always had.

Lilly did not come to see me this morning. She has one missing assignment and one test to take for me. I have told Lilly that she must come and see me for the missing assignment, so that I can help her with it. She has been reminded through face to face conversations and through email.

Saying I was sad for summer to end and high school to begin would be an understatement. I'm definitely going to miss the beach days and staying up late at night doing the most random things, like cleaning my room or having a dance party. Ever since I was young I couldn't wait to begin high school and be just like one of the big kids. Now that I am one of the ‘big kids’, it's not as cool as it seemed. I didn't realize back then that once you start high school it pretty much decides how your life will turn out, and that's really scary. I also didn't think that I would be in Algebra 2 as a freshman with a ton of seniors. Even though I'm still a bit anxious to be in high school, I'm excited to go to homecoming, getting my permit, and cheering for

It was right after eating yet another mediocre lunch, when it hit me that it would be one of my last. There were 4 days left until graduation and only 2 hours left until my Latvian language proficiency final. I then realized that in half a week I would never see the same group of people again. On the mile long walk back from the dining hall, I enjoyed the sound of the cicadas from the forests around me. I thought about the empty summers coming up that will not have a 6 week long Latvian summer high school to fill them up.

Have you ever wondered how people would describe a leader? While Odysseus showed many characteristics that a leader should show, he also shows many that a leader shouldn’t. Odysseus is the leader of the Trojan army, who goes on a journey to get back home to Ithaca after winning the Trojan war, to see his wife, Penelope and his son Telemachus again. During his journey Odysseus is told that he will be the only survivor out of hundreds of his crew members. However, Odysseus neglects to tell this information to his crew with the worry of his crew wanting to end their journey. You would think that a leader who puts his team through dangerous events would be affected as well, and would choose the option the go down with his crew, and to not choose to be the only one who survives. While many people describe Odysseus as a loyal, and honest leader, he makes many poor decisions that prove this otherwise. Some may say that Odysseus didn’t share this information for the sake that they would freak out, and not try to get home at all.

The first day of school in 2020. It was a normal first day of school at Fairgrounds Elementary school in Nashua ,NH.
