Rebels Without a Cause Not very many people have affected me in the same way as my friend Jake Fernholz. I have never realized the influence he has had on me until someone pointed out that we talk and think the same way. I only met Jake two years ago in track, when a pulled hamstring injury caused Mr. Kellerman to have me practice with the long distance kids. Mr. Kellerman forced me into staying on the long distance team and that is where I started to hit it off with Jake. It took me a long time to be comfortable with Jake, but when I did we quickly found our common interests.
When I was fifteen years old and in middle school, there was this one kid in my grade that was Muslim. He sat by himself minding his own business but everyday a group of kids in the grade above us would come and make fun of this young boy, each day it would be the same thing, they would call him names and tell him to go back to where he came from. All because he was a Muslim boy in Australia. One day he fought back to the bullies and threw a punch at the main culprit, of course he got beat up and all the boys had to go to the office and talk to the principle but what was astonishing was that the Muslim boy got suspended for three days and all the bullies did not get into trouble. From that day, I saw how the world target Muslims and how there is this witch hunt for them.
7. How did Catherine’s Instructions contradict her real policies? Catherine’s Instructions contradicted her real policies in many ways. In her book Instructions, Catherine interrogated the establishment of serfdom, torture, and capital punishment and even recommended the proposition of the equality of all people in the eyes of the law. But there was only a small actual change after a year and a half of negotiations.
1. In my response to the 5-day suspension you forgot to add the following of my response. You stated to me that you were told I am assuming by both or Mr. Christopher Cox or Major Javier Trevino that I had changed my statement. I had told Mr. Cox one thing and Major Trevino another.
I understand your concern about violating the regulatory rules. Dr. McNally, my immunization are up to date and I have completed HIPPA, JCAHO, and OSHA certification. I have attached a copy of the certificate to this email. Dr. McNally, is there anything I could do that would allow me to attend the lectures (once a week)? Observership or an externship?
It was time to go back in for champion. I was nervous but I just kept remembering what my grandpa had said about keeping the heifer calm and let her show herself. I wanted to be chosen again and it happened. I couldn’t believe what was happening. The first time to show at the county fair
“Why can’t we get into our freaking offense!?” This is all I really remember from Coach McKendrick at halftime last year against Niles North in what was a tough night for our basketball team. Prior to this, we beat New Trier at home and then went on the road and beat the pre-season unanimous vote to win conference, Highland Park, in our first conference game. Before the New Trier game, our game plan was simple: we were smaller, but faster, so we were going to run the court and make this is a fast pace game. We executed our gameplan, and we won.
Mock trial has been a journey for me, marking both my experiences and my growth, as well as helping me choose a path for myself. Becoming an accomplished public speaker allows me to feel confident in my ability to succeed, and in my ability to advocate for myself. Mock trial allowed me to push my boundaries and to strive for something that required significant effort, for the first time letting me experience both success and failure in a higher stakes environment outside of academics. I joined mock trial in my sophomore year. The first year created a sense of community and family, and also helped me become more extroverted.
He covered my entire torso with his by laying on me. I could hear him saying no through his muffled sobs. I was shocked at his reaction to such a harmless tickle
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. Some of those things include getting a new pet, traveling across the country, and being in the parade. All of these events had some impact on my life. The first important event in my life that I can think of happened four years ago in fifth grade.
My norm violation was facing the people while standing in an elevator. My partner, Ali and I decided to go to Jackson hospital to perform the norm, unfortunately we decided to change setting because the hospital was empty, and the experiment wouldn’t work. We decided then to go an apartment located at North Miami. When we first got there I thought it would be a perfect place because there’s so many different people of different ethnicity living in North Miami, but most of the people coming in and out of the elevator were Hispanics. The people in the elevator were mostly middle age, and a little bit older.
Independence. Freedom. What I thought I was fighting for was being taken away from an entire group of people. People many of us were friends with, equals with. They are Americans, but that didn 't matter.
It was a warm March day. The semester had just reached the halfway point and people were scrambling to get grades up, to finish projects, and meet deadlines. Through all the chaos of school nobody was able to see the new era that was about to be thrust upon them. It was speculated and rumored about, that the Principle, Wade Martin, was scheming something sinister, nothing the likes of Middle Creek have ever seen before. It was his mad power grab, The Tardy Policy.
Officer Dan was his name and as his shadow began to make, it’s way down the hallway. I began feeling as if I was about to get the biggest shock of my life. Up until this point, I had never been so scared in my entire life, not knowing what to expect and not having full control of any situation can be very scary. Until this very moment, I hadn’t had time to even think about the endless possibility of if I had killed or seriously injured anyone. Honestly I was just happy that my own life was spared, again I can admit I was a self-centered bastard.
