My grandfather was shouting, trying to get my attention, and when I stirred from my trance, I could then hear: “_Sandra, Sandra, this is yours.” He was pointing to a brown, buffalo like female calf, which had just been born. It was a gift, the first part towards my inheritance. In the El Dorado, money meant very little, the cattle was the highest currency.
Ranch workers barely make any money at the end of the month, even after having to work for countless hours every day. George dreams about moving to his own farm, but he is economically powerless. He hardly has any money between himself and Lennie. As George and Candy discuss moving onto their own farm, George states, “We got ten bucks between us” (Steinbeck 59). As ranch workers, it is not uncommon to not have much money.
The story is told, if not in exact words from each source, of a white buffalo calf that changed into a beautiful young woman who brought to

The Spanish explorer will have to walk back to camp... Humming a tune, the miner’s practiced fingers sift through the stream’s gravel and sand. He suddenly grasps several large slivers of shining ore and gives a whoop and a holler. Rising quickly from the bank he scrambles back to a lone donkey. He stops and the corners of his mouth turn down into a frown.
LA Spirit! While i have so many things i’m passionate about the thing that comes to me the most is my city. Los Angeles has been so good to me in the concept of sports. As a young kid growing up in South Central, all i would think about was what LA team was being broadcasted live. This was around 2005 so you could imagine what was around at the time.
So the social norm that I broke I thought it was kind of funny. what I did was that I would walk around and taking people’s carts. I would grab the cart and say “well this is everything I need. ”I went to Target instead of Walmart because I go there a lot so I don’t want to go back to target ever again anyways. Taking mine at I look like crap because I’m sick.
An outsider: a person who does not belong. I stepped onto the chilly, uninviting plane with a sparkle of hope and adventure in my eyes.

Upward Bound with Tarrant County College along with AVID at South Hills High School have guide me through my high school trajectory. During the last 3 years AVID has helped me speak up and diminished my self-esteem issues such as speaking to other mates and creating what we called an AVID family. Upward Bound has been a catalyzer for me to learned how to managed my finances such as loans, budgets, and banking services. Since I was the lead of my family both organizations helped me become a more experienced person at a younger age. More than a college readiness program AVID and Upward Bound are the dispensers of life lessons and the nest of future leaders.
My five signature themes were: Achiever- As an Achiever, “No matter how much you may feel you deserve a day of rest, if the day passes without some form of achievement, no matter how small, you will feel dissatisfied.†Sometimes people call me an overachiever, but that is how I feel is my normal. Harmony- I do not like when people argue because I feel there is a better way for everyone to get along. Once everyone is in harmony, life is much smoother. Input-
Going Down in History I remember it like it was yesterday. The adrenaline rush, the anticipation, the sky-high nerves, and the undying support from our small Community. Softball, just like football is a very prided sport in Danville.
Ways Through the Waves This summer break, I went to Oceanside for a vacation with my family. We haven’t been to the beach for five years and we finally went. I was so excited for our visit at the beach. Ever since I was little I was always scared of stepping or going into the water because I always thought that a shark would come and eat me. This time I actually went into the water.
The paths that surrounded the immense forests of campsites was getting boring. We had not a clue in the world where we were bike riding too. The unfamiliar rocky roads were leading us to places we've never seen before. We lost the smoky smell of campfires to a crisp scent of Douglas fir trees. I followed my friends as the they came to a stop.
The roller-coaster ride here can sometimes be quite trilled, And always I feel nearly suffocate, Maybe I think I’ve a breathing problem here, And I’m always trilled by the roller-coaster here.
