As a kid I grew up with the poor, I didn’t know the meaning of having my own car by the time I’ll be eighteen, or thinking of the path I’ll be choosing for my career back then, but those were just dreams that didn’t matter, I was just living day by day with the moments of my life. SEVEN years ago, I was in a class, most likely worrying about another school day, the only kid with a different culture, different personality and different
War Veteran Interview My name is Ernesto Contreras, and out of my own curiosity have; decided to interview my grandfather and tell his story on his war experiences from the beginning of boot camp, until his last day of service. Arthur Cameron was born in phoenix, Arizona, in 1946. He is a Native American and had been very athletic in high school, playing on sports teams like basketball, track and field and cross-country. In the year 1963, the United States had been drawn into the war in Southeast Asia that would be later known as the Vietnam War. Arthur came from an era where there was a military obligation (draft).
Take you places no one has ever been. Share stuff that only a few people know. I grew up in a close knit family. We lived within a 5 mile radius of all my family. We where together almost every day.
Now I am more motivated than ever. I am the youngest of my family. With that being said I currently live with both my mom and dad, my one and only brother is seven years older than me and is moved out and married. My dad has no college experience but he is successful in what he does, he is an engineer at a rubber factory. My mom has some college experience but never got any kind of degree and does home daycare.
My mother at time was out most of the night and not able to get me up and ready early in the morning. When I finished the sixth grade( which I shouldn’t of) I asked my grandparents if I could live with them. They were more then thrilled to have me. I then moved to Murray, Kentucky where I finished grade school, middle school and graduated from Murray High School. I also spent half of a year at Wesleyan College, in Owensboro, Kentucky and had to leave to give birth to my son.
Blake McKenzie 18 September 2012 Everything Happens For A Reason In “A Homemade Education” Malcolm X made a decision about his education that enabled him to be the political activist that he is known for today. Malcolm X states “I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life” (201). During my sophomore football season I sat the bench hoping for a shot at the starting job. The opportunity never came therefor it was time for a change. I decided to start the second semester of the 2009-2010 school year at John Paul II High School, one of the local private schools.
I had been going to Pine Cove’s family camp for a few years and didn’t want to change my plans. So when my mom asked me if I’d like to go to Timbers, Pine Cove’s junior high camp, I said “No!”. I guess my sister and my mom did a good job at convincing me, because next thing I know I was on my way to camp. I was really nervous and scared that I wouldn’t make friends--at first.
Running Head: MY GOALS Returning to School Aisha Martin Eng 121 English Composition I Instructor: Kamille Stanton May 14, 2012 My Goals I never thought I would have to tell anyone about my returning to school.

Then, in the first day of the chemistry laboratory, we need to choose the group to do all the experiment together for the whole semester. Most of the students have their own group with their friends, but I did not any friends because I am a college freshman. So, I formed a group with him and another college freshman. We really have not talked for a few weeks, even we try to discuss about the experiment because he is too shy around other students and also we cannot communicate orally. So, I found the way to communicate with him by writing, and he started comfortable around the group, and we become a good friend.
Hi, my name is Charles Perkins and today I would just like to talk specifically about the Freedom Rides. In 1962 I was one of only two aboriginal students at the Sydney University. I was keen to find a way to publicise the Aboriginal cause and in 1965, along with other student activists, formed the Student Action for Aborigines (or SAFA as we called it). We decided to organise a bus tour of regional New South Wales towns to expose the discrimination in the use of halls, swimming pools, hotels and RSL clubs. So with 30 other students and a bus driver we hit the road.
