An Unforgettable Summer

High School, I am writing you this letter in hopes that you will consider my position on the continued authorization of Zeitoun being read at Mills. In the best interest of the student body of Mills, I firmly believe that Zeitoun should continue as summer reading due to the numerous positive effects it can have on students. Despite the now verified illegal actions of the main character, Abdulrahman Zeitoun, after the book’s publication, Zeitoun still serves its original purpose of illustrating discrimination

place not known to many, thus granting significance for few people. In the summer, lounging at the end of my dock is the only place that I desire to be. The lackadaisicalness of watching the sunset over the lake paints a picture in my mind that cannot be replaced. It is the summer before my senior year in high school. Eagerness of graduating is beginning to settle within my body; however, I still have the rest of my summer to go. It is the middle of July, when Minnesota is hitting record temperatures

there was a push-back against the civil rights progress in favor of returning to a 50's esque society, promoted by the white-working class, which caused many to become frustrated and angry at the state of the country. The 1960s, began with an unforgettable presidential election between John F Kennedy and Richard Nixon. It was the first Presidential election ever broadcasted on the television, and for the first time the American people were able to witness the candidates in person before their election

The sun beamed upon my face as I skipped along the yellow brick road with Dorothy and followed the adventures of other daring travelers in my stories.  I read about Miss Piggy, Peter Pan, and Judy Moody. As I read through each page, I noticed the creaking sound of the wooden swing where I sat. The sound reminded me of ocean waves, so I placed the book on the swing and pretended to be a sailor. I named myself Captain Shell and decided that I was sailing through the rough waves of the Atlantic ocean

novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Miss Maudie Atkinson is not only the finch’s neighbor, but she is their friend. This book was a great book with great life lessons that we can take and use in our lives, but some characters made this book unforgettable. Miss Maudie was one of the people in this book that made a huge impact on me personally. I believe the book would not be the same without her. Miss Maudie is a respectful, passionate, and upright member of her community. Unlike most of the other

This summer I had an opportunity to attend the CORO Leadership program, which was different than the internship I had last year at the Jewish Community Federation. CORO is a eight week program that helps students become civically engaged and assume leadership roles in our community. Everyday we had a seminar day in which we learned different topics, such as how to give an elevator pitch, social enterprise and grant writing. For seven weeks, everything I learned tied up with the San Francisco cohort

Prior to my sophomore year I was honestly clueless of what I wanted to do, but as soon as I discovered that I wanted a career in the medical field I intended to do anything I could that would help me achieve my goal that is to first become a Registered Nurse. I took more vigorous classes, classes that would help my career, as well as by doing running start. Currently as I mentioned, I am a running start student at Wenatchee Valley College, and am working towards not only my associates degree but

The things that I visited National Museum of American Indian (NMAI) was unforgettable and sad. In 13.07.16, I visited museum with my Johns hopkins classmate and English tutor by walk. It was so hot, sweat that was exactly same korea’s summer. it was tough. By the way, we arrived at NMAL and we are hanging around with guide.

The worst year of my life was in the seventh grade. It was a time of unforgettable and painful moments which took place throughout the school year. This taught me a significant lesson. The summer before seventh grade, my parents informed me that it would be beneficial to join a sport. When I did not find one that interested me, the color guard was counseled to me; which to be honest, I resented. My mother had a strict policy that once an activity is started it must be continued throughout the entire
