What I Had A Classmate

Growing up, people are being constantly prompted with the ideology that the right person will soon come. Thus, as these people mature and experience unsuccessful relationships full of arguments, crying, and heartbreak, there comes a time where all those past romances seem insignificant when they ultimately meet “the one.” As a result, this person is probably expected to soon get engaged, married, have kids, and live happily ever after. However, what if that was not entirely the case? What if you were forced to marry a stranger you were not in love with, knew nothing about, and were obligated to live with them for the rest of your life? Unfortunately, this is the exact situation thousands of adults and children around the globe undergo today,

“True love is hard to find.” “Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all”. These words have been told to and heard from family, friends, co-workers and even words in a poem. (A.C. Bradley). These words are said to someone to comfort and express sympathy and understanding to one that is having a relationship issues. Only a lucky few have found true love the very first time love has entered the into their space, some have managed to remain married over forty years or more. Life’s dilemmas interfere with true love from entering the lives of the people that love has touched. Parents protecting their children, worrying about what other think, love not being reciprocated, fell in love too young, self-esteem too low, looking for

When I was in eighth grade, I wanted to attend Northwestern University to follow in my band directors footsteps and study Music Education. Unfortunately, I encountered a number of problems freshman year. Due to these problems, I quit band, and did not see college as an attainable option so I gave up on going to college. During my Junior year, I realized that college was an something I wanted to do so I decided to do whatever it took to be ready by graduation. During my junior year, I went on a college visit to UW-Oshkosh. However, the campus didn’t impress me and I became discouraged about post high school education. Everything changed when I attended Northwestern University on a college a at the beginning of the school year. Originally,

From a young age, the the idea of finding your one true love is a monumental step towards happiness. Women are often stereotyped as “love obsessed”, playing “family” with dolls and planning weddings while still young girls. Neverending love, care, and bliss a woman finds with her significant other becomes desirable to friends, family, even strangers around the couple. Oftentimes, being surrounded by people in love can cause a woman to search for her own “special someone” because she doesn’t want to be “that friend” who bribes a friend to be her date to her fifteenth high school reunion. Not all women have to search in order to find true love.

Being misled from personal goals can cause us to forget who we are. Each and every one of us has a goal, whether big or small. It could range from getting a good grade on a math test to getting accepted into Harvard. No matter the goal, love is an obstacle. For example, my mom always tells me stories about people in college dropping out because of someone they loved. This particular person spent tens of thousands of dollars to attend a university, so close to reaching his goal of becoming an engineer, but his girlfriend became pregnant and he dropped out. Individuals set their own objectives aside just so that

I thank you for your time to read this. I have good grades and am a first honor student who is a perfectionist. I enjoy being creative and am an artsy person who puts homework and grades first. I am a mature person who loves to do extracurricular activities while still getting classwork finished. I am a generous person although vertically inclined. I have a brother, John Truitt, in the Junior year going into the twelfth grade. I went to Broad Street and am currently in Mechanicsburg Middle School. I acted at Allenberry and have acted at Little Theatre of Mechanicsburg, HCPAC and more.

Waiting in line to go through customs I didn 't want to think about all all the things I would have to do. Support myself financially, find a place to live, figure out how to start college. It all seemed overwhelming. I immigrated on my own to US when I was seventeen. The transition was difficult, and I considered returning back to India. Even though it would have been easier to return, staying provided better opportunities. As I grappled with my new environment and struggled to acclimate. Two experiences played a pivotal role in shaping my character. First, the support I received from family and friends. The second, my work with adolescent youth. Through these I understood the importance of support and the joy of providing it. The

The student that I observed was a 7th grader with Autism. He has been in the same school since Kindergarten and has transitioned through each year with some academic struggles. He does have an IEP, which suggests his modifications on grading. The student has always worn a sweater along with wearing the hood, regardless of the temperature. He has continued to wear the sweater since second/third grade. He lives with both parents and has two older siblings. According to the Adaptive Physical Education teacher, there has been a noticeable change in behavior and participation. Last year, the student was always engaged and willing to participate, this year has been a different story, a struggle to get him to join in during general education Physical Education. As part of his IEP, he is to participate in a general education setting a few days out of the week to reach his goals for increasing social skills. The student observed does have a one on one aide with him for the entire day.

ex: unrequited love because he loved her but she did not love him in return

I had a grate class with my Professor Mona, she was a nice instructor and she helped me to improve my English skills. For example, my weaknesses points as an English student, I’m not a good reader, I had a lot of grammatical mistakes, so she helped me by the reading assignments and she asked me to visit the writing center to improve my grammar skills. Also she helped me to improve and develop my strengths points as an English student, I’m good speaker so she improved this skill by presentation and group decision. I really appreciate her help and her support.

Responding to the first assignment of English 1190, I wrote a memo of one of my friendly classmates. I’ve been lucky enough to be able to know and write about a courageous, friendly classmate of mine Taylor “Tay” Lambert. Through my interview with Tay, I learned about the life of a courageous, fun loving and smart women.

We experience so many heartaches and heartbreaks throughout our lives, it’s so easy to dwell on those and forget to stay positive on our path to love and it’s true meaning. As a society, we have this fairytale image of love and what it has to be, and if it’s not a fairytale, it’s not love. This is not true. Love has an endless amount of meanings. I remember when I was just a little girl, my mom used to tell me, “If the guy you’re dating doesn’t treat you like a princess, then leave them.” I always laugh at that to this day. It’s so true though! If the person you are in love with doesn’t treat you right, then that is simply not love. I ponder the fact if one person could really want to spend their whole life with me. I love seeing elderly couples who tell you stories of how they first met, exactly what they were wearing, and what song was playing in the background of where they met. It inspires me.

I come from a culture Afghanistan, where people fall in love very rarely. Everyone mostly goes with arranged marriage and this has been going on for centuries. If someone falls in love with another it would be difficult for them to get married because culturally it 's a shame and it will bring chaos among both families if they find out. However, lately love marriage is becoming common among the young generation in spite of its difficulties. When I was growing up, my mother would always tell me that I should not fall in love with anyone because she believed strongly in arranged marriage like she had with my father. After graduated from high school, I got a job in an international organization. Some of my co- workers were female. I was too shy to talk with any girl in our office because my mother had already told me that I should not be close with girls. She did not mean that I should be very rude with girls, but she did not want me to have a girlfriend. I did not blame her because that is how she had grown up. Although I tried not to fall in love with anyone, however, I could not marry with my first love.

Always remember “no man is an island” NO one can stand alone by herself. Furthermore there’s the second thing I want being a college student the feeling of being in love. In love with the person when you love too. By the way love that person, some people can’t avoid themselves criticizing you and making issues that can affect your life. This was the story: she loved the guy for a non-sense person she change the guy make use of it to hide the true reason to that. The lady cried because, we all know that it hurts, it really hurts! But the word puppy love is the first two words that came to my mind of the lady. She’s too young and smart so, she can experience new things coming from her way. That was her aim. After that, she faces the world single and free. And with the confidence guts that she can reach her goals.

Recently I had a good friend ask me about important prerequisites she needed to take next semester. One of the classes was communications. She was really nervous and concerned because she is very shy and uncomfortable doing public presentations. I couldn’t have be more excited to explain my experience in the Introduction to Communications course and how this class can not only benefit her in the future but also help her feel more comfortable presenting in front of fellow classmates.
