Basham My Memorable Writing Experience Writing is one of the most basic forms of communicating ideas and information to one another. Writing doesn’t come as easy to me as it use to. I’ve always enjoyed writing, but it seems the older I’ve become the harder it is. Maybe it’s just through life and the passage of time I have drifted farther and farther from my creative side. My most memorable writing experience came in the fourth grade in Mrs. Hamiltons
been through a few historical moments. The most memorable moment would have been September 11, 2001 when the World Trade Towers were destroyed. In my own opinion the flag is a symbol of freedom and the right to be who I want to be. Growing up and learning the Pledge of Allegiance in school is also one of the most memorable moments of the flag I have. Eleven years ago the World Trade Center was destroyed by terrorists.

The most memorable moment was when I was riding my tricycle and I fell and scraped my knee horribly and my grandpa panicked a little too much. I remember waking up that day on a
Prom Night to Halloween Night Halloween and Prom Night are events that create memorable memories in a child and teenager’s life through certain similarities and differences as dressing up casually to formally, receiving candy as to purchasing goods, one being private as to the other being public, another one is being scary as to the other being magical, and both being arranged in the evening.

“You can do anything you set your mind to”. My journey with National Honors Society started three years ago, since then I have not only developed as a person but also a leader. Every year with the National Honors Society I learn something new and unique; but of all the inspiring and moving things I have done so far to give back to the community, this has to be the best.

My coach then asked me how I was doing emotionally. I responded; “Well, I wish I could tell you that I was doing great, and that everything is going well. But the reality is that I am not doing well, and everything isn’t all right.” Our conversation ended with him giving me a hug and letting me know

Tuskegee University has had former names to the university, which were the following Tuskegee Normal, Industrial

My Senses Amazed Me in My Race Car I have had a lot of memorable experiences in my life so far, although none quite as memorable as the one I had shortly after I turned 19 years old. Driving a race car at 169 miles per hour at Talladega Speedway was one of the most exciting experiences of my life that attacked all of my senses to an extreme that I will never forget. The experience I had that day was an assault on every sense in my body. Although it was a quick drive and only a few laps around
