The transition from eighth grade to ninth grade is one of the most difficult but unforgettable things a student must do in his adolescence. For me, it was filled with new opportunities of taking Ap classes and joining clubs. One of these cubs was Youth and Government (Y&G). For as long as I can remember my brother, Riad, has boasted about how amazing Y&G is and how it has changed his life. My brother is three years older then me, so as a freshman he was a senior in Y&G.
Three Important Events Revision In my thirteen years of living on this planet, I have had some important events in my life that turned into a good ending.

Below are what continue to haunt me and my children on a daily basis. I still recall the time you woke up and looked over at me with this crazed look in your eyes. You kicked me so hard in my right jaw and right upper arm. I fell into the night stand, then onto the floor next to the bed.
Misdiagnosed November was when the pain started. I was dizzy at church one Wednesday night. I did not think much of it. Though, now, I think I should have. Looking back, I should have mentioned it to someone there or I should gone home early, but I did not.

“Tell us. Tell us what’s happening! Say something…” At that moment, we were anxious to hear something encouraging, a few words telling us that there was nothing to worry about… But one glance at my father’s face left no doubt.”
A large part of my revision process – which Meg was immensely helpful in – was developing a strong ‘so what,’ part of my thesis. Meg’s comments on her letter and in person helped me realize that even though I could not see it, the argument I was trying to make was already present in my paper. In our meeting we talked about a couple of different paths my argument could take and Meg helped me narrow down all of the different lines of thought I had to make a singular argument. Meg and I also discussed how after developing my thesis thoroughly I would be able to go back through my paper and alter my examples – eliminating them, elaborating, or / and finding a couple more for new points I would be making in my revision. Sitting down to do my
I woke up and stretched out my arms and hurriedly put my snow gear on and ran outside to find the snowboard right where I left it. Next, I dragged it out to the top of the hill, clipped my boots in, and started to think to myself. “I can do this. I’m not going to fall this time.” I said out loud reassuring myself of what my mom had said to me.

Thankfully there was no other jacket in there, so I slipped off my old jacket put the new one on, and was already searching for my comb to see how I looked.

One of my experiences with failure took place when I was in fourth grade. There were many problems accumulated and I was a child who needed people to see if I did my homework or study for the test, because I couldn’t concentrate and was distracted by anything in the room. My brother also had problems that year, he needed more attention because he didn’t get along with his math teacher and my Mom was always after him with the homework; otherwise he would have failed Math at the end of the year.
