Ryan Stenz's All About Me

In the student essay “It’s Hard Enough Being Me” written by Anna Lisa Raya, the author portrays herself as a credible source for understanding the role of identity in an educational setting. Raya then appeals to an audience of Latinos and other minorities through her emotions such as stating, “I had never questioned who I was or where I was from” (Raya 121). In the end, she resolves the life-longing issues of identity crisis and cultural shock by staying true to herself and “Soy yo and no one else…Punto” (Raya 122). The author asserts the idea of “not only experienced culture shock, but for the first time I had to define myself according to the broad term “Latina”” (Raya 121) throughout the essay. Raya then appeals to her audience through

I researched, selected and assembled the components of my computer from scratch for my 13th birthday. Science is my favorite subject because I like to think about ways I can make the world better and more energy efficient. One of my favorite things to do at night is theorize about science and engineering topics. Most of the time I have a hard time getting to sleep because I can't stop thinking. I am currently trying to find new ways to desalinate water in an environmentally clean way. In 5th grade I competed in two Lego Mindstorms competitions and I won both. The first competition was to make the coolest robot and I made a walking robot. The second competition was a tug of war. I won by using gears, six wheel drive and some extra weight. When I had Autodesk class I liked to think of creative solutions to finish the assignments. I tried to use the instructions only if I had been stuck for a long time. I enjoy spending time at after school engineering clubs. In 6th grade I participated in two after school hands-on engineering programs. In 6th and 7th grade I went to a program called SPARCS. We met on Saturdays once per month and did fun activities with engineering students from NCSU. I was just accepted into NC-MSEN Pre-College Program which involves afternoon classes at Centennial as well as weekend classes at

I realized my talents for math and sciences during freshman year of high school, and remember the exact moment I knew engineering was meant for me. While exploring the engineering shop at my vocational technical high school, the teacher showed my class a video of MIT students designing prosthetic limbs for amputees. It was then that I realized I could use my love of math and science to really help people.

When I was fourteen years old, I realized that I was very different from my twin sister Annsley. When Annsley and I were in the eighth grade there was a form that we received to encourage students to join the band. I had no desire to join the band, I wanted to play soccer while Annsley on the contrary, could not wait to sign up. She even had a countdown for the first football game because she could not wait to march with her now, new band friends.

Start Typing your essay in the space below: All my life people told me I will never finish high school, that I could not get good grades, and how I am going to be just like my brother and sister. As a young kid I thought that I was going to be a failure because of what other people said. So at a young age I just started to slack off in school.

People are becoming busier as the technology developed, they use technology to work and live.

Hi, I am Abigail Johnson, an 8th grader at Gulf Coast Middle School.

John Legend wrote “All of Me” for his fiancée, Chrissy Teigen. There is no doubt that the song was for her. The whole song is about love and about giving up something, to gain so much more. This song consists of the couple loving each other and understanding sometimes things are hard and will not always make sense. But they also know that if they persevere through those hard times they will be unstoppable.

I’m pretty much fucked. That’s my considered opinion. Fucked. It was almost impossible to do this assignment last year. Now, I have to do it again with completely new content. Fuck. The assignment, Three Details About Me, forces students to write about themselves and their feelings. Such a task is horrifying to any pubescent. But, if you really want to know three important details about me, which I highly doubt, you are in luck. Three important details about me are I am not normal, I enjoy English class, and I want to improve my grammar.
