An Unforgettable Summer

It was a warm summer night about two years ago, the sun was just starting to set and the darkness, would soon consume any light that was left. I had just taken my drivers test to receive my permit the month before, and this was my first experience driving at night, and that’s when things started to take a turn for the worse. “We were almost home”, I thought to myself. “Just another five minute drive and we would be home, safe and sound.” Out of nowhere it leaps from the ditch, and out into the

It all came together last summer on a 5,724.8-mile bicycle ride from Texas to Alaska. I was among a group of students lucky enough to wear the Texas 4000 for Cancer jersey and devote a summer to pedaling for a cause. Like with many other premed students, signs that showed how interested I was in medicine were apparent since before I can remember, but everything from my summer trip validated further every desire I had to join the medical field as a doctor. At the age of ten I was confident I wanted

strange, different ethnicity people were saying. Yes, we have come to America, the land of prominent English speaking language, without knowing a single word in the english diction. This big move have impacted our lives tremendously. It was late summer as we started to settle in the land of opportunities. My parents’ goals were fixated on providing my sisters and I the education we needed. They spent all their time working hard to provide for the family, leaving them no spare time for such things

American brothers. Lyman and Henry’s relationship one day seemed perpetual. Unfortunately, this long lasting relationship would come to an end. The two brothers were once adventurous and very much nonchalant teenage boys enjoying the never ending summer. The unconditional trust the two brothers have with each other is greatly portrayed through the joint ownership of the Red Convertible. Unfortunately, the return of older brother Henry from the war has permanently changed him. Lyman is unable to cope

2 Even Beller, Joseph Autobio “Bill” It was a hot week of summer. My family was planning on going to Texas because my grandfather had fallen ill. My grandfather had been battling cancer for a while and was placed in a nursing home he did not like. When my family picked him up and brought him back home, we didn’t have any idea what was about to happen. Shortly after he was brought to our house, my grandfather had more health complications and already needed professional medical help. My mother

My leadership activities have brought big responsibilities into my life, but also great joy. As the Art Director for North’s Drama program every play brings new opportunities for creativity and new challenges. It is my job to create the poster, design the set, manage supplies, direct the students helping me, and plan ahead so that every piece of the set can be finished in time for the show. I could never do the job alone and it is such an incredible feeling to begin with a few ideas and bring an

An assemblage of indie artists paired with messages of independence and no holds barred lyrics see Lemonade as an album that gives Beyoncé the career defining work that aims to be unforgettable. While the media may buzz over Jay-Z’s infidelity and her fanbase may obsess over “becky with the good hair”, Lemonade is a meticulously produced album written through sorrow, anger, but most present, pride. With Lemonade, Beyoncé has given the

school spirit and unity within my own school through pep rally activities, class competitions, and service projects. I was also taught skills for success in life, such as setting goals, dealing with obstacles, and staying motivated. It was an unforgettable week full of friendships, positivity, and self-improvement—one of the best weeks of my

works often centered around the importance of nature, and this theme clearly resonates throughout William Wordsworth’s sonnet “The World Is Too Much with Us.” Despite its antiquity, being initially published in 1807, the message is eternal. This past summer, I truly felt the awe and wonder of nature as Wordsworth and his colleagues have centuries before me. From the first line, “The World Is Too Much with Us” clearly depicts the values of the Romantics’ love of nature. The persona states how,
