Wisconsin Do you like summer in Wisconsin or is it winter that gets you excited? Do you like frigid temperatures or is it the hot sun that gets your goat? For me, summer is where it’s at. I am patient for 272 days every year waiting for June 21st to come around (even though I start my summer as soon as the local schools let out), and when it does, let the good times roll and the festivities begin! Winter, on the other hand, is a dreadfully cold and treacherous event that I would really rather

1612-1672 May 1628 “If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee; If ever wife was happy in a man, Compare with me, ye women, if you can” (Bradstreet: "To My Dear and Loving Husband"). I am so excited at this moment for I am about to marry a wonderful man. He is a gift from God and I treasure him. I thank God daily in my prayers for such a wonderful man.

Being tested has never bee much of a traumatic event for me. With the least bit of studying, I still receive an excellent score. I suppose that is why I have been able to go to each test with confidence. As a result, I have developed a successful system of studying. I found it highly important to get the assigned reading out of the way as quickly as possible, being as time-consuming as it is, I do not like catching myself last minute with three chapters when I need to start recognizing and recalling

My Last Farewell 1 Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd, Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost! Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best, And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest, Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost. 2 On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight, Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed; The place matters not--cypress or laurel or lily white, Scaffold of open plain, combat or martyrdom's plight, 'Tis ever the

“Never depend on anyone but yourself”, as my father would say. As a child, growing up in a Hispanic family with very high standards and strict guidelines, failure was never an option and neither was being a disappointment to my family; which makes having a college education important because in today’s society it is nearly impossible to find a decent job without it. The feeling of satisfaction is also attain when you have an education, and also it helps you challenge all your senses. Education is

again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life. This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new. At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable. Thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small hands of mine. Ages pass, and still thou pourest, and still there is room to fill. 2 When thou commandest me to sing it seems that my heart would break with pride;

Domato Family is the best thing I have. My best family bonding I’ve ever experienced is when I was a kid, I used to be with my parents every Sunday and we attended mass. After attending mass, we go to our favorite restaurant and eat, spend some of our time there and enjoy every moment that we’ve been together. During our meal, I remember the moment when my mother asked me what do I want to be in the future, I replied and said that I want to be a News Anchor someday. My mother smiled then after

Whenever I need to convince my mother or sister of my superior intellect I have one story I always tell as it happens to be one of the most memorable obstacles I have ever overcome. The obstacle was one that faced the entire family and I was the one who saved the day in the end. As with many obstacles, it was something that needed to be done but seemed impossible. For my family it was removing an old, broken, and pretty disgusting dryer from our new home. Removing a dryer does not sound like much

when I actually held a book with English words. And that’s all I did. As I was learning most of my English at school and from TV shows like Dora, Barney, and Dragon Tales, my parents did their best to guide me to read the Clifford books I brought home for homework. We spent hours (an eternity) trying to read a book that should have only taken five minutes to read, and now that I reminisce on those days, I realize that I wasn’t the only one learning from Emily Elizabeth’s stories. Sadly, although I
