Gap year

One day she came up to me at recess and even asked me why I didn’t like her, and my response was, “I just don’t.” This went on for quite a few years, until one year we played volleyball together. She was the first person I talked to at the very first practice that summer, and we clicked. Ever since that day we have been best friends. When that school year started we were inseparable. We played every sport together, rode to every game together and usually…

Participants Participants were prospectively recruited from the cohort of consecutive patients referred to the Combined Head and Neck Clinic (CHNC) at a large tertiary hospital in Brisbane between September 2013 and November 2014. For inclusion, all patients had to have at least one parotid gland affected by either primary, metastatic or recurrent disease, and were planned to receive either definitive XRT or surgery with postoperative XRT to a prescription dose of 60Gy or greater. Patients were…

A fragile soul walks into his first grade class, fearful of the outside world. This is where he says goodbye, goodbye to his parents, goodbye to his old life, and starts anew. This is where the new world opens up new possibilities, new experiences, and new learning. There is no longer a necessity for childlike wonder; this is supposed to be the place where every child goes to create a name for themselves. The name I was trying to create for myself was Tyler Vold, a unique individual who desired…

Motives are things that drive each person to live, do better in school, or a job, in their marriage, and maybe eat better for a healthier life. I think some motives for me would be to do better in college, so I don 't get behind on my assignments, and things of that nature. In addition, getting married, and having a job are a few other motives of mine. I am a huge family person, and I love hearing other people 's stories of how they met their significant other, which then gets me excited for my…

With her she brought many strengths, academically and socially, however, these strengths might not be tapped into until we move past some of her barriers and continue to build upon her linguistic knowledge. Belvie came to America when she was 11 years old and was immediately enrolled in a 5th grade class, however, when she arrived here she only had the equivalent of a 2nd grade education, with a few spotty lessons from teachers in the refugee camp. It is important to note here though, that…

she became good when she entered third grade. From then, I waited for the third grade to come. In Korea, there is a tradition of eating a bowl of rice cake soup on New Year 's Day and it was said that eating a bowl paralleled becoming older. Therefore, being the hasty kid I was, I decided to eat five bowls so that I could gain years faster. This ended tragically as I remained in the bathroom for the remainder of the day. Not to mention…

Ultimately, each department develops their budget requests, which is due on the second Tuesday in May. Upon each department crafting their budgets, from July through September, the Mayor’s office reviews…

He goes to school in New Jersey and his teacher is a female. “My name is Ryan, I am ten years old and I am in the fifth grade. I play soccer, baseball, and basketball. My mom made me try out gymnastics but one time my dad came to my practice and realized that I was the only boy on the team so he said that three sports were enough and that I…

beaten up for reading was replaced by the fear of flunking out of college. His lack of reading when he was younger made it difficult for him to do academic reading (24). He finally came to appreciate literature by reading the critics in his college years. That is what the moment that encapsulates him as a reader and a teacher. For me, my race didn’t drive be to pretend like I didn’t like learning, it drove me to do the very best I could at an early age. I don’t think that race should hold you…

Sadly, this is when volleyball started to become less enjoyable. Freshman through junior year were amazing, I played on the junior varsity team my freshman and sophomore year, my junior year I sat varsity. However, these three years I had still felt as though I was a part of the team, even if I did not play. Having sat varsity my junior year, I assumed my senior year I would play varsity. Senior year came along and I did not feel the same about my favorite sport. Not getting to play was the…
