August 17th 2014, my first day at high school. Nerve wracking to say the least. I knew my aim for school which was to get good grades then hurry up and move onto University, it’s easier said than done but I had faith in my abilities. At the time, my family and I had a strong relationship as I always told them the truth as I had nothing to hide from them. After 1 good result, I made it into the top maths class however my friend didn’t quite reach the same level as me which led me to making fun of
So, I just arrived at Camp Half Blood and I was hurting really bad. And all that I remember is someone telling me your mom is a goddess. And I told myself I was going to go to sleep until the next day, ok I arrived at Camp Half Blood yesterday and I was hurting really really bad but I feel alot better than when I arrived yesterday. And my partner that sleeps above me in the bunk bed said to another person ‘’are you ready for the capture the flag game Friday?’’ And so I panicked it was Wednesday
“You will always be my best friend,” words that seemed so unbreakable at the time. Middle of my freshman year, and I sat in history, right next to my so-called “best friend” not saying a word. People always say that your friends in high school change, but I certainly did not think that would come true my freshman year. Everything happened so suddenly, one week we were hanging out, and the next, we were trying to avoid eye contact in the hallway. I understood that friends fight, and we had fought

I’ve never revealed this story to my friends. I was afraid of how my reputation could have been impacted if they had known the conflict I dealt with. Typically, they’d joke around calling me “emotionless” and, saying I have never had to fight with myself because of this. Even today I can still be quite shy and reserved. However, thinking back to the memory that still shrouds my mind every once and a while, I still wonder what would have happened if I had chosen another path. Almost seven years previously
It all started on a rainy day in the middle of deer season. My older brother Nick was playing Xbox and decided to take a break, and saw a deer out the window. Immediately he told me and my dad. I got excited and then he told me he was going to shoot it, I refused and told him, “ I am going to shoot, like it or not.” So he agreed, and now I have a chance to shoot my first deer.So I got my rain gear on because it was pouring. I carefully loaded my gun and creeped outside in hopes of not scaring
One of the most eye-opening experiences of my life was the day I fell off my dirt bike because I wasn’t thinking very logically. The day I fell of my dirt bike made me realize that I needed to be more careful and listen to my parents because I never want to experience that amount of excruciating pain ever again.

Essays can be used to discover rather than to prove or persuade. While this may not be the standard academic paper, it can be useful when conducting research. Not every paper may thought with a developed thesis but come to a realization of a thesis after conducting necessary research. Jay Holmquist’s essay “An Experience with Acronyms” approaches his topic with a narrative interest that leads to a question to start his exploration. This implemented his process of discovery going from his story to
