unsure of what kinds of people, customs, and activities I would encounter. Yet, since arriving in this historical city I have seen how diverse and interesting this unique city is. One of the first experiences I had when I arrived to Greece in September was when I went to Aristotle Square on a Saturday night. To my surprise, the area was filled with young, gregarious residents. At first, I thought there was a special event taking place in the square. Yet, when I asked one of the young men who was with his
Seuss said you are they best you. As a eighth grader, i'm not a biggest fan about reading, because hockey, track, and school are my main priorities One of the marvelous,acceptable, crystal clear book I remember reading is the Green Eggs and Ham book. I read the book in kindergarten with my teacher. It was one of my favorite books, for we got to read it as a class. My teacher was one of the best teachers I have had, but she was there only for one year; that was the year I was in kindergarten so
will always prefer. Las Vegas is my favorite place to visit because they have one of the best aquariums at Mandalay. I also had the best experience with dolphins when I was there. First of all, I always wanted to go to Las Vegas but I couldn’t afford it. It all started one day when my dad came home from work with an amazing surprise. I was seating in my room doing some homework. He walked in my room with a pair of tickets on his hand. One of the tickets was for my mother and the other one was for
One of my favorite memories was the first time that I went to a baseball game. It was during the summer of 2012, me and my sister Sandi were visiting my other sister Melissa and her husband Brent in Illinois. Both my sister and her husband are HUGE White Sox fans. Towards the end of our visit we all got tickets to go to the White Sox game. We all had a great time at the game, and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Our Journey began with the trip to U.S. Cellular Field. My sister
comfortable about speaking out loud to a class. My English teachers in high school did not have me write much. Well they did, but they assigned me a certain boring topic in which I had absolutely no interest in. I believe that I did not learn much about what I like to write about; I guess they taught me how to use some phrases a certain way, but then I had to write them in the dreadful, five-paragraph essay. I
I saw the Jefferson Preforming Arts Society (JPAS) production of “My Fair Lady” on Friday September 25th at the newly opened Jefferson Performing Arts Center. I have to say the play was well put together, but overall it was disappointing. Although the music, set, venue, and acting were excellent, the script was too long and unnecessarily drawn out. This play was written by Alan Jay Lerner and is based on George Shaw’s “Pygmalion”. Fredrick Loewe wrote the music. This play started on Broadway in
we are still using them today. I had the opportunity interview my grandmother about what it was like to be a teen during the 40s. I learned about the fashion and the music that teens liked during the 40s. I also learned about how our country prospered during that time. I enjoyed the interview with my grandmother and chose to highlight some of her favorite things from the 40s, including her favorite actress Judy Garland, her favorite song Stardust by Hoagy Carmichael, and one of the biggest historical
building. When I was young, I remember building simple, modest contraptions that I saw in my mind as a truck. However as I grew older, I discovered that one of my favorite video game line, Halo, began to produce builds that modeled vehicles and structures from the game itself. This is where my interest in brick building took off and taught me many things I never thought I could apply in various situations in my life. Brick building at a glance looks very simple and easy, but once you delve into much
sounds of Brent Walsh’s voice fill my ears as I am comforted by the familiar sounds of one of my favorite bands, I the Mighty. I am taken back to one of the best moments of my life: Warped Tour 2014, where I was able to meet the members of I the Mighty and see them give it their all on stage. For as long as I can remember, concerts have been my happy place. Jumping to the beat and screaming the words back at artists who give it their all is a truly incredible experience. Although it is crowded and I am
heightened sense of reality of the celebrity which encourages the unfounded beliefs of the worshippers, that there is a special relationship shared with the celebrity (McCutcheon et al., 2002). As the worshippers are motivated to learn more about their favorite celebrities, some of them go beyond mere
