On December 18th, 2016 I traveled to Rapid City to represent my tribe in a hand game tournament, at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center, hoping to come home with first but as always, everything has their turnabouts. I was looking forward to being able to play again and being able to sing. Having been there all day I was getting more tired but more anxious winning game after game. I was hoping to finally come home with the title of being the “Best Hand Game Team,” in the northern states, and being able
Fortunato and I had gone to school with each other long ago, though were never friends. He’d bully me for my stubbiness, as I were short and chubby unlike the other kids. He’s hurt me ever since that day. I was playing with the friends that I did have once and he had tripped me on purpose, resulting in breaking my ankle and leaving me with a permanent limp forever. When I was, a mere adolescent had my first girlfriend, Fortunato had stolen her from me, they’d gone to a ball together hoping I wouldn’t
The Afghan Student Union (ASU) at the University of Utah was established in 2015 to provide a safe space and sense of community within the Afghan student population and to educate the University of Utah campus about Afghans and their culture. This is carried out through events such as the annual Nowruz Celebration. The Nowruz celebration is the celebration of the Afghan new year and brings Afghans and non-afghans alike for a night. Our second annual Nowruz Celebration is on Wednesday, March 22, 2017
I’m hoping to develop further as a student of Advance College Academy at Tucker High School. I’ve developed lots of habits during my school years at Elko Middle School, good and bad habits. One of the many good habits I developed during my school years is creativity. I’ve attained a love for art, drawing in particular, ever since I was in the 5th grade. Although my love for art didn’t really blossomed until 7th grade, where I took art class for the 2nd semester of the school year. That was due
"I can't believe it, that one mistake coasted me everything I once possessed," I grumbled under my breathe. I was sitting down in front of Mark's one evening hoping to collect some spare change, when I realized I was going to miss the free supper from the church. I tilted my head down, ashamed of going to church every Sunday for free meals. Not knowing the time I picked up my pace, hoping they had some left to take away the grumbles from my stomach. "Harland, Harland Sanders?" A familiar voice
the Elementary Male Teachers? All my years of being in school and going to field placement this semester, I have realized there are not very many male elementary school teachers. In fact, it is very surprising if I even see one male teacher in the elementary schools, walking the halls, or teaching the students. This has been a re-occurring question that I have had for a while and I am hoping to answer it in this paper. So, my question is; why are there not many male elementary school teachers in
I was going through the depths of the forest being chased by anacondas when I thought, what is the greatest thing I’ve ever accomplished in my life? Although I’m joking, have you every thought, what is my greatest achievement? When I think of my greatest achievement, so many things come to my head; from buying my first car, to eating the Blazin’ Wings at Buffalo Wild Wings. Although many people have a lot of achievements, there is always that one achievement that tops the others. That one that comes
I choose this prompt because it looked as it was the best of the prompts fitting to me. I myself come from several different backgrounds, I also carry a lot of different talents. People like those are very unique and are very productive in diverse community, and they turn to be very productive and effective individuals in their community. The past autumn I applied to the University of Washington, which is one of the high ranking schools in the nation, so I applied to all of their 3 branches, Seattle
Thanks for researching the car for me. I did not think it would be much, but I was hoping it would be worth $3,000. My parents told Cora she could have the car and if they sold the farm for a good price they would have it restored enough to drive. The farm has not sold, and my parents and then my mother has given her enough money already the past two or three years. Not to air out my family problems but you are probably used to that by now. I am sure I have given you the information you could have
Numbness is all I feel as we pull up to the long stretch of cold gray stone; I wonder why these types of things have to happen. This was not our first time having to do this, but this time I was old enough to know, what was really going on. No one could tell me he was just going on vacation or that he just had to go on a business trip. I now know why the saying ignorance is bliss is true. The truth is my dad was leaving me, not because he wanted to, but because he knows that him leaving me is saving
