An Unforgettable Summer

As an individual and leader in my community, there are many ways I can contribute to the SHAD community, such as my hard-work, respect and creativity.

I will complete all required tasks on time and beyond expectations. Furthermore, I will also work hard to assist my team and make sure that everyone is having

I chose Eritrea as my favorite vacation destination because it is my home; I know where to go, where to visit, I can still speak my Tigrigna, which is the common language there. No matter where I am Eritrea will always home sweet home to me. Last summer, I spent my holiday mostly in Asmara and some other regions of Eritrea. Asmara is the capital city of Eritrea which is

The weather can be cooler, but there are more deals to be found, especially on the first cruises of the season which can be as much as 20% cheaper. Plus, the month of May is normally is a bit drier than the later summer months, while in September, visitors will be awed by the epic fall colors of Alaska’s wilderness. For those looking to experience long, sun-filled days and almost no darkness, late May until late July is the best time to visit Alaska, with June

In the USA, the summer camp industry is booming; despite the economic downturn, millions of American children head to camp each year to gain new experiences and meet lifelong friends. Camp Caribou, an all-boy residential camp located in Maine, is no exception, with over three hundred boys aged seven to fifteen visiting each summer. Camp Caribou employs around 120 seasonal staff for 9 weeks to ensure that they provide “unforgettable summers” to their campers. With no dedicated HR department, it falls

Tears streamed down my face as I said my goodbyes to my parents, getting ready to leave them for the entire summer. It finally hit me that I was essentially stepping out into the “real world” without my parents right by my side to take care of me and look out for me. They couldn’t come with me due to work and it was a scary thought. Granted that I was only 10 years old, I was going to miss my parents. I didn’t know whether or not I was mentally prepared to take a 14-hour plane ride (what felt like

Last summer, I attended a summer leadership and citizenship program in Sacramento, California. Fitting with the Boys State Camp's emphasis on civic service, each delegate was given the opportunity to run for a political position. It's selection process was highly competitive and to be elected to one of the highest positions puts you among the top leaders in the state. While this meant that I would have to push myself out of my comfort zone, I was not going to waste my chance to shine at Boys State

“Friends aren’t forever, but family is!!” Fifteen years ago, Tyson Wisham was born and raised in Nevada with his “loud, crazy, partyish” family. His over four-hundred relative family has given him a life full of excitement whenever they’re together. Tyson has over fifty first cousins on just his mom’s side. “Growing up with a large family has always been fun and exciting even when they’re really annoying!” Tyson’s parents, Cindy, and Chris, met in Seattle even though they went to the same highschool

nonessential, now that he is conscious of this routine, he began to acknowledge the fact that it was time to commence a new life. I spent the three summers between sixth and ninth grade and Camp Modin. Going to a camp with three of my best friends was, according to my understandings, the best summer that I can have. After those three memorable summers, I was ready for my fourth, but my parents concealed the secret that they had other plans for me. Additionally, ninth grade was the last year with my

The First United Methodist Church of Monroe, Louisiana has essentially acted as a second home for me. Ever since I was a baby, I have been attending there. It is a place where I have     gained a multitude of friendships, the majority of which I still have today, and have journeyed through my life as a youthful, Christian woman. That building will forever hold a place in my heart.         This church has not only been a church to me personally, but also it was a school; I attended all of my pre-k’s

After two years of dating, powerhouse comedic couple Amy Poehler and Nick Kroll have officially broken up. According to a source close to both of them, scheduling concerns are what spurred the split.
