Miss Piggy

In high school, I participated in a program called Health Academy since my freshman year. When you are in health academy you stay with the same 36 teenagers all four years of high school. By the time our junior year came around, most of us have been together for three years straight. We were bonded. We were a pretty strong team and we had each other’s backs.

The Importance of Keeping Appointments I am writing this essay as a plan of action because I managed to miss a scheduled appointment.

The craft room inside the windmill had high arched windows and fresh white paint on the walls. It was where Miss Pennycress spent most of her time when she sewed, painted, and even threw her own pots. There were shelves full of wool, cupboards full of threads and racks full of fabric. Boxes of buttons. Reels of ribbon. Bobbins and beads. All in all, the room was bright, cheerful, and full of rustic charm. Doctor Melilot paused in front of a needlework bench and ran his fingers along a grey pinafore

suppose to see has an average hourly wage of thirteen dollars an hour and each work an eight hour day when they where suppose to be off that comes out to $104 per person. Now ten employees multiplied by $104 comes out too $1040. If all ten soldiers miss their appointments you can see the amount of money that was wasted because ten Soldiers decided not to show up. That also comes out to almost $400,000 over the course of the year. Just imagine if that happened every at every installation. The cost

perspective on a problem that so many people ignore or don’t notice. Her book is completely littered with examples that back up this quote and it’s intended meaning.

Ever since “Tom” had died his mother, Anna LaFarge, began to lose her memories faster and faster. Before, it was just a few fuzzy moments she chalked up to her age, but then the leak quickly grew into a waterfall. Every day she chanted simple tasks to herself like some magic spell in hopes that she might remember it the next day.

Holden Caulfield is a seventeen year old living in a “phony” world, who describes the “madman stuff” that transpired from the earlier year. He is the protagonist and narrator of the story, The Catcher in the Rye, where he mentions he was being hospitalized in a sanitarium in that present year.
