Hi, I’m Eugene Skinner, and I was part of the Lafayette Escadrille during World War I, which was a squadron of primarily American fighter pilots who fought for France before the United States entered the war. Although I lived in France at the time, my roots were dug in the US, and I came over seas because my father told me that all races were treated equally there, and for the most part, that was true. However, when I first moved to France, the only job I could find was one as a carnival target, which sufficed until I was noticed for my boxing talent. Just before the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, I moved to Paris in hopes of making it big, and I did: I ranked number four in the country before I enlisted. But why would I end something so wonderful, you ask?
Discipleship is characterized by how well we succeed in following God. During the course of the movie Les Miserables, the main character, Jean Val Jean, develops the qualities of being a faithful disciple. The four main criteria of being an excellent disciple are that a disciple must put personal desires aside, accept suffering, serve others, and love others, even those who are our enemies. At first, Jean Val Jean was lacking in compassion for others and faith for God, and was even imprisoned for stealing bread and continuous attempts to escape prison. It was not until Jean Val Jean knocked on the door of a bishop and requested to stay in his house.
About an hour later we made it in and found some seats. The first day was pretty relaxed since the meeting didn 't start until the afternoon. However, the next few days were full of four-hour lecture sessions and brilliant minds explaining their accomplishments and
I am a pioneer! My pioneer story isn’t your average Latter Day Saint pioneer story, as far as historical LDS stories go! I was raised by goodly parents, I was born and raised in Spokane Washington. I am the youngest of three children born to Jim and Shannon Newell. My brother James is the oldest and four years older than myself.
The dedication the school puts to each individual student is amazing and lets you see how helpful someone can be in someone’s else’s
The sequel of the popular novel To Kill a Mockingbird, presents a rather controversial take on familiar characters, and explores ideas left untouched in the first book. Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee decides to tackle the subject of human principles and morality, consciousness, the way people can be affected by their environment, and the very idea of a hero. The book emphasizes the way perspective can change with age, as people explore different things, live in different places, and learn from observing. Jean Louis, as she now prefers to be named, revisits her hometown of Maycomb and reconnects with relatives and old friends, but becomes troubled as her father doesn't meet the standards of the idealized version she had created of him Being raised in a patriarchal society Jean Louis has been forced to put men in a pedestal, skewing the reality of the situation. By realizing the imperfections of her father, the reader must also, alongside with her, reflect on the events of the first book and realize the narrator might have been unreliable at times.
“Darn, surrounded by all of these nice homes and communities, this High School should be really nice,” is what I thought once I got to the North Druid Hills Rd and North Cliff Valley Way intersection. In front of me all that I could see was vibrant communities that displayed their affiliation with the Lenox area, which is a very rich area. Making a left onto North Druid Hills Road, I continued to see beautiful homes on my right and my left I began to see the campus of Cross Keys High School. Due to the tons of leaves that had fallen, the bare trees that occupied the front of the campus, and the splotchy patches of grass, viewing the Cross Keys campus was not as striking to the eye as was the view of the surrounding homes. Having such a bare
By graduation, every student knew each other and felt connected as Keller graduates. Due to a small student-to-teacher ratio, we were able to bond with our teachers. Many of our teachers continue to serve as our mentors. Our schools also taught us the important of service to our community, enhancing Keller’s already communal feel. From the age of 14, I participated in enhancement projects at my high school and began volunteering for the City of Keller, feeling further connected to the city.
“Why were we here?” I questioned myself “We had a great life we had food, water, shelter, and great tribe members, until he Hernado de Soto showed up and not even that he was a kind white horseman he didn’t hurt us until today.” “Order in the court Cherokee vs Europeans” the judge exclaimed. This was our chance to beat the Europeans, we couldn't back down now.
I had always wanted to ride along the Santa Maria with Christopher Columbus. I finally got that chance with the time machine I had built in my basement that I called Billy 9000. My time had finally come. I set the coordinates to August 3, 1492. Then I stepped into the machine, and closed the glass door.

My nine years at Mary Queen of Peace has been unforgettable and memories I will never forget. I remember walking into my first day of kindergarten in Mrs. Bucheit’s class and knowing only 6 kids in the grade. All I could think about was how I’m going to be like one of the big 8th graders someday. Once a week after school we would go to The Goodwillie’s house for 2 or 3 hours and eat lunch then play outside and eat lunch. First grade, I was in Ms. Summer’s class and had the most fun in my life in her homeroom.
I would be getting my own food, making sure I wake up and get to class on time every day, knowing where I was going and how to get places; that is what scared me. I could see so many people, tourists mainly but also people living there. I hadn’t even been there for more than two days yet but I knew that this was somewhere that I wanted to
Darrian Sargent A person experience that made me see life differently Darrian Sargent A personal experience that made me see life differently Something that has caused me to see life differently, was during my sophomore year of high school. It all started from a situation that happened in my sophomore of high school. I was giving a presentation front of my classmates and as I got to the front of the classroom my anxiety kicked in, I didn’t know what to expect, I didn’t know that all of this was going to happen.
Surviving in High School “The journey doesn’t start at the beginning, begins at the end.” School is one of the most memorable moments you will experience in your life, are those moments when you find a second family in your life called “classmates”, they start being strangers to classmates, classmates to friends and friends to brothers and sisters, you spent every single day of your life for more or less 2 years of your life that you start to know them more than anybody. I study in Colegio De La Salle in Panama City, Panama. My years in De La Salle are priceless, because it’s the place where I grew up as a student and the most importan as an Human being. During my time in De La Salle I found “Ma Squad” that’s how we call our group back in Panama, where we experience and pass so many things together.
