Growing up we’ve all experienced something in common, living a life through people's eyes . What I mean by living a life through people's eye is caring too much of other people’s opinion more than your own opinion. We listened to other people's opinion more than our own due to the fear of embarrassment of doing something incorrect getting a sense of feeling guilty and because the opinion of other people give us confidence that we are doing great. As children, we are easily fooled by our parents

It was the last day of my summer camp, the night before my Boy Scout troop would pack all their gear and leave the coast of the Puget Sound, and go back to the suburbia where most of the kids in the troop lived. The last day of summer camp, at least at Camp Parsons, was the Hullabaloo. The Hullabaloo was a great gathering of all the patrols, in a large grass covered area, bordering a beach and then the Puget Sound. The whole area was dotted with green trees, and was overlooked by a very large cabin-like

When my parents took me home from the hospital. I was brought to a nice clean house with two dogs named Kona and Jasper. I was generally in my crib as an infant. My mom deliberately made noise when I was trying to sleep to try to prevent me from being a light sleeper such as vacuuming for no reason and getting the dogs to bark.

In elementary school, one of my favorite days in grade school would be when my mom came in for her oral hygiene lessons. Even though my mom could have easily demonstrated proper techniques on how to brush and floss teeth with a dental model for my classes, she knew how excited I would always get when she called on me to personally demonstrate. I would brush in confidence those tooth surfaces, at a 45 degree angle and with small circular strokes. Promptly in the lesson, I would put the toothbrush

my mom from elementary school is her showing just how compassionate she is. When I was in elementary school, I wanted to be in a Girl Scouts troop but there was none in my school. My mom became not only my troop leader, but ran three troops at the same time, so anyone at my elementary could be involved despite their age.

Reminiscing about the events of my past, my journey to the glamorous mountains of Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico to hike for a week is indisputably the greatest memory of my life so far. Our Boy Scout troop congregated at the Grimes South Sports Complex at way too early of a time on a Friday morning. Nobody felt tired, however, due to our excitement for the launch of our trek.

my thirteen plus years in the program, was to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. Growing from a young immature child to a young adult that can effectively plan, execute, and fulfill the requirements of the rank of Eagle Scout.
