...Homecoming 2015 It was the beginning of senior year and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go to homecoming. I was really indecisive. As homecoming week approached, I ended up going. I went to my friend’s house and got ready. From there we went to homecoming, after homecoming we decided to go on an adventure. At first, I was grabbing everything that i needed so i can head to my friends house. I packed my dress and makeup because she’s a pro at doing makeup. I got everything I needed and went over to her houses. Once I got there we started getting ready, as we were getting ready we were eating as well. Since Halloween was coming up we were watching some scary movies. Which was pretty fun. We also started pumping each other up for what to expect since we didn’t have dates. Secondly, we both got done and started heading out to homecoming. Homecoming was at our school so it wasn’t far. We got to school and you can really hear the music from outside. Everyone looked so breathtaking. I have never really seen people get ready like that besides going out to fifteens but that’s another story. Well, once we got in we hit the dance floor. It was so much fun! Me and my friend found a group of people to hang out with which, were some seniors...

...Although some may find it stressful, homecoming is a very enjoyable time in the school year. Many schools host fun activities and spirit days throughout the week, a football game on Friday, and finally the dance is on Saturday. Every girl has their own step-by-step process when it comes to getting ready. This process is usually a bit more intensified when it comes to homecoming. All girls get ready in a different way. Some spend so much time and money in order to make themselves look perfect. On the other hand, some girls plan things last minute and spend the least amount of money possible. When thinking of all the preparation girls go through for homecoming, three different types come to mind; the extravagant, the practical, and the disinterested....

...Competition of the Classes Homecoming, a night that unites the four classes under the promise of good music, fun, and unforgettable memories. Homecoming is full of traditions, including homecoming halls--decorations placed across the halls of the school, the week prior to homecoming night. Behind the scenes of that eventful night, a great amount of work was placed into homecoming halls. At Rockville High School, homecoming halls have been a tradition for a lengthy amount of time, SGA Coordinator Ms. Gross believes that the students: “Continue [homecoming halls] because it brings the class together and it is an exciting time for all of the students involved.” The choice of theme for homecoming halls is assigned to the seniors. At the end of the school year, the seniors choose the theme in order to work on the halls over the summer. The SGA President then goes to Wood Middle School to inform the rising freshmen of the theme. The rising seniors pick four different ideas within the theme to assign to each class. This year’s theme was superheroes, the freshmen were assigned, sophomores were assigned X-Men, juniors had Fantastic Four and seniors had Avengers. Over the span of a few weeks, detailed planning is done and then a plan is executed. As decided per class, meetings take place at a certain time within the four week span....

The topic was suggested by another teammate. Although I suggested another debate topic, I believed this topic was controversial and I good debate topic. The debate question is a question you are either going to agree or disagree with the statement. Based on the lack of participation from the rest of my group I do not know their feeling on this debate question. I personal response is yes. I do believe transgendered individuals should be able to participate in the homecoming as the other sex. I feel I put in efficient effort for this debate and debate question. Although I did not personally pick the debate question I had suggested several other topics but choice to stay on board with this debate question so the discussion would proceeds faster.

The professors are usually vicious and expect all work to be done on time with no excuses even if it is a million word essay due the next day on the word “Science” the best thing to do is make it happen or face the consequences of spending more money to retake the class. Both high school and college similarities are very much simple. The mission of these two places is to gain knowledge. They both require patience to stay up one long Sunday nights to write a research paper or study for a math test. The ultimate goal is to graduate from both of these places because there’s no way of really going to college without a high school diploma. Being social is also how these two things are common there are football and basketball games, pep rally and homecoming. Events that involve meeting new people and engaging in rivalry against apposing schools. In conclusion high school and college are both very essential to the world that we live in because without them we wouldn’t have the doctors, lawyers, teacher and other people of the world today that makes the world such a much better place. Regardless of what makes them different they still allow hopes and dreams to come true for the lives of many individuals especially me. “Education is what remains when we have forgotten all that we have been taught.” Said by George Seville and without education the...

...affected the work of Mavis Gallant, some of which include her difficult childhood circumstances. Also the fact that she came from an English, protestant family and was sent to several Convent, French boarding schools that shaped her primary view of the world. Later on her experiences as a newspaper reporter led her to give up her simple life in Canada and move to Paris to pursue her dream of being a writer and nothing else. Gallants Canadian heritage and familiarity with the Acadian culture forms the body of some of her major works. The post world war era played an important role in her decision to move to Paris. In this research paper I am going to discuss some of the major social and literary influences on the work of Mavis Gallant, as well as aspects of her past that affected her development as a writer. Also Three of her major works discussed in this paper are “Home Truths”, “Paris stories” and “Across the bridge”. Gallants work is greatly influenced by her early years of education in Canada. According to Sarah Kerr, Gallants childhood consists of two completely different cultures; English protestant of which her background is, and French catholic where she received her education. “Perhaps because of her own troubled childhood, she is frequently drawn to the plight of frightened, lonely children and adolescents, and writes compassionately of their anguish. The reason why her ...

...A WALK TO REMEMBER A Research Paper Proposal Presented to the Fourth Year Department La Immaculada Concepcion School City Of Pasig In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements in English IV By LALALALALALALAL )) 02/17/14 Theme Analysis The Discovery of Faith In the early part of the novel, religious faith is presented only in the form of Jamie Sullivan as seen through the immature eyes of Landon Carter. He mocks her for her Christian faith, pointing out that whatever happens in life, good or bad, Jamie always attributes it to the “Lord’s plan.” Jamie has faith in God no matter what happens, and she shows it by carrying her Bible with her at all times. In breaks at school, rather than chatting with friends, Jamie prefers to read the Bible. Landon, on the other hand, has no interest in religion. He attends church only because everyone is expected to do so. It means nothing to him personally. But as he gradually gets to know Jamie his attitude slowly begins to change. He first mentions faith in chapter 10, after Jamie has confessed that she does not always understand what the Lord’s plan might be. He replies that one must have faith, although he does not really know what he is talking about, and he knows that he does not, and he soon steers the conversation away from God and toward romance. But after Jamie tells him she is dying, he faces his own personal crisis and turns with all sincerity to religion. He prays for a miracle and starts reading the Bible. Later...

...like the turtle moving halfway out of our shells until we realized that we would be faced with several obstacles. This caused us to quickly retreat back into our shells until we found hope through our friends, family, and teachers. We would return from summer with our brand new licenses, but this couldn't trump the overwhelming effects of SAT's, college visits, Thon, and Prom. Even though we were upperclassmen, we would have face the struggles of fights with our best friend and our GPA slowly plummeting. Mrs. Prugar would swamp us with packets and the big research paper. Mrs. Reightler would teach us the different body systems as well as the encouraging life lessons that we would carry with us throughout the rest of High School. Hectic junior year would eventually come to an end and our final year of High School would begin. This is where we picked our colleges, and experienced our final football games, Homecomings, Anything Goes', Thon, and Prom. Like the turtle, we were completely out of our shells and we couldn't be happier. We never thought that the day would come that we were seniors. So we began to count down the days until graduation. Little did we know, graduation was only a few days away. Where had the time gone and why was it moving so quickly? We will say our good bye's and go our separate ways for college. The next phase of our lives will commence and we will look back on High School as if it were just a memory. I will leave you all with a quote from...

...Literary Education and Canon Formation: The Liberian Experience S. Kpanbayeazee Duworko, II Introduction For the past fourteen years, the name ‘Liberia’ has been inextricably linked to warlords, war exportation and gunrunning in the west African subregion. These linkages, a result of the activities of the country’s leadership, made Liberia an international pariah and brought about the imposition of economic sanctions by the United Nations. Within the comity of nations, Liberia came to be viewed as a country that significantly contributed to the destabilization of the subregion through encouragement and support given to various armed groups that allegedly attacked Sierra Leone, Guinea and La Côte d’Ivoire. Liberia, nevertheless, is also associated with legendary contributions to Africa and the world at large. These contributions range from the fields of politics to sports, medicine, and religion. In the area of politics, Liberia produced Angie Brooks Randolph, the first African female President of the UN General Assembly. In sports, specifically in soccer, Liberia produced George Oppong Weah, the only African so far to capture two major football titles: World Best from the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and European Best from the European Football Association (UEFA). In medicine, Liberia produced the renowned cardiologist, Jerome Ngana, and the prominent AIDS researcher, Stephen Kennedy. In religion, Liberia produced Prophet Wade Harris...
