...goals, but some have more importance than others. My semester goals include making good grades, making new friends, and getting involved in extracurricular activities. My main goal this semester is to make good grades. Grades are definitely the most important factor in my life at school. I strive to do my best to retain as much information as possible. Grades determine many things, such as an average for a class or whether one can get into a certain college. Making good grades challenges me because some classes are more difficult than others. For example, I struggle with English and pre-calculus more than anything. I have to write many essays for English; therefore, I try to work on my writing skills so that I...

...your old friends then is to make new friends. Friendship is one of the most valuable gifts human beings can have. Although some people believe is more important to keep the old friends others think that making new ones is more significant. I agree that making new friends is essential for human’s social life. My position will be developed with two main ideas. In the first place, it is possible to make new friends and at the same time maintain the friendships you already have. IT Is essential for a person’S well being to be open to meet new people WHENEVER(every time) possible. By making new friends we are giving access to many different opportunities. If we close our circle of friends and end up limited by a determined type of people we WILL (would) be loosing many chances in life. We never know if out there is someone that will change our lives and is waiting to be discovered. If we stop making friends we WILL (would) not be able to reach that. For example, I went to a summer camp when I was younger with my best friend. I was completely AGAINST(close) to meetING new people until the camp separated us from every activity. Thanks to this I had the opportunity to make a Mexican friend named Belen that with the passING of the years we are still in touch. Constructing a friendship is free and extremely simple. Just WITH (by) a smile and a couple of words we can gain a new friend. The more friends we have, THE more chances we (will) have to decide or choose which friend is for...

...Florida and living in New York, can be both the same and different. The similarities and differences play an important role in choosing whether to move to New York or not to move. Friends, daily activities, diet and exercise, are all very important when deciding whether to move or not to move. There is nothing like having that close group of friends that you grow up with. I had that close group of friends in Florida. We would go to the movies, the mall, and surfing. I would call their parents “mom” and “dad” like they were my own parents. We also had rituals like bringing your sleeping bag for movie night, making popcorn every time, and having our own spots where we slept. Unfortunately, moving can change relationships with friends. Unlike Florida, in New York I would have no friends. I had visited New York before because most of my family lives there. I was never there long enough to make any friends. On the other hand, there is potential for making new friends, which is always good. One could hope that when I moved, my friends in Florida would stay in touch. I would hope that they would call me, or visit me from time to time. But one thing that is better than friends is family. Family is always there for me, no matter what. My diet and exercise in Florida was awesome. I would eat salads, organic products, vegetable, and fruit. I would go to the gym about five days a week and workout with a trainer. I would go surfing on the weekends all day with friends. I would also go...

...Making friends in school Besides getting an education, making friends in school is probably one of them most important parts of growing up. Having friends in school can keep you motivated to attend school every day. If you don’t have any friends in school you may feel alone and that school is not a fun place to be. Follow these helpful steps and you should be making friends in no time. First off the person should be kind to whoever he or she meets at the school. This is where the old saying don’t judge a book by its cover comes into play. They should remember that in the school, they will find kids their age that have some of the same interest as they do. They should remember don’t judge others before they meet them. Be yourself, they should never change who they are to try and fit in. If their friends don’t accept them for them, they’re not there real friends. Most people belong to a certain clique, simply because they are being themselves and their unique personalities and interests fall into a certain stereotype. For example, someone who is naturally athletic may become a jock in high school or someone who is drawn to playing instruments may be classified as a band geek. Many people can tell if someone is faking a personality, so don’t try hard to fit into a certain clique, it will just happen naturally. The student should be as confident as they can be. There’s nothing that attracts people more than someone who’s secure in who they are. They should have a good attitude;...

...In the beginning of this year I thought I was prepared for the freshman classes that I had heard about. Walking into Newton North on the first day of school I thought that everyone would stay in their own friend groups, my best friend would stay my best friend, and nothing would change. I was wrong. Throughout this year I think I changed a lot and strayed from who I thought I was going to be. I was confident in the beginning of the year, but not just with myself but with my friend group and my classes. Though my confidence with my new friend group has stayed the same I've began to question myself and who I was and am. I compare myself to others and I tried to be like everyone else. I also realized how hard I had to push myself to keep the...

...Essay for OSEP Why would you like to participate in the OSEP? First of all, to be honest, the sound of studying in a foreign environment is extremely exciting. Why exciting? It is the idea of independence, exploring new things, different culture & environment, making new friends, stepping out of my comfort zone and so much more. Let's put them into details: 1. Independence - I think independence can be picked up even locally, but your parents will always be there to pick you up when you fall unlike when you are overseas by yourself. That to me, living by yourself, simple things like; settling your daily meals & needs, doing laundry and just everything by yourself is one of the best ways to me to up your independence. 2. Exploring new things / different culture - Like what Mary Anne Radmacher said, "I am not the same, having seen the moon on the other side of the world." Embracing a whole different culture will not only help better myself as an individual but also widen my horizons that can be useful whether it is in business settings or street knowledge in the near future. 3. Making new friends - There's nothing better than making more friends, especially around the world. Period. I like to see having friends in this manner "Friends teaches you life lessons like no others can." 4. Stepping out of my comfort zone - I think this is one of the greatest takeaways from the OSEP. Just basically, staying in a foreign country where English isn’t native language...

...did pretty good when it came to designing their characters. They made the characters look friendly in the way they designed them. Take Alex, for example, in real life, lions can be pretty frightening and ferocious, but in the movie they made him look nice and kind, like he wouldn’t hurt anyone. DreamWorks didn’t give Alex big claws, teeth, or an angry look in his eyes, unless they wanted him to have those traits. They also did well in the personality part of each character: Marty being a jokester, Alex being the egotistic one of the bunch, Gloria being confident with herself and kind of the babysitter so the boys don’t get in trouble, and Melman being the one that is always too cautious and can overreact, but all still being the type of friends to each other that everyone wants: Joking around with one another, singing and dancing together, and caring about each other. Just look at how Alex, Gloria, and Melman run after Marty when they realize he left them and could get in trouble, or when they fall off the ship and the tide takes them in different directions and they all yell for each other saying, “come back, don’t leave me!” What about when Alex locks himself away? The other three could just get on the boat and let Alex get help from what they thought were the humans coming to save...

...Facebook is Making Us Less Social and Lonelier Yes, I must admit it. I log in to Facebook on my computer every day. I even have the Facebook app on my smart phone that I can go onto in my spare time when I do not have my computer with me. The very first thing I do right after I wake up in the morning is check out my Facebook. I made many new friends through Facebook who I never have met otherwise. I found my old acquaintances from my middle and high school and I was able to be reconnected with them. By virtue of Facebook, I can stay in touch with my faraway family members and friends in Korea even if they live on the opposite side of the planet. I share my good news and express my opinion to hear others’ feedback. I find a lot of convenience through the use of Facebook, and now I cannot imagine living without Facebook. Yes, I must admit that I am addicted to Facebook. The major reason I started using Facebook was because of the feeling of disconnectedness from my friends. Most of my friends had Facebook accounts back then, and they always talked about Facebook. They often began their sentences with, “I saw on Facebook that…” Every time they had parties or events, they invited friends through Facebook; I was the last one to find out about that because I did not have a Facebook account. This social networking was making me feel I was being disconnected from my friends. This social networking was making me feel I was being a person who does not communicate with the world. So...

...From middle school to high school a lot of people experience immense changes in themselves. For me transitioning into high school was one of the biggest changes I have ever experienced. At first, this change was scary but once I realized the positive impact it would have on me personally, I was more open to the ideas. This change gave me many new skills and experiences that I could never have experienced in middle school. My move from middle school to high school has changed my personality, interests, and standards for academics. P1: Being placed in a new unfamiliar environment has made me more social and has improved my attitude towards life. My middle school years were the worst years of my life. This had to do with the fact that I switched...

...When I got to the daycare, children were sitting on the carpet square listening to a Chinese lady guest reading them a book about Chinese New Year. Peter as usual was sitting (not really sitting, moving his body around, and sometimes lying) in the first row listening carefully to the story and being engaged in it by giving comments about the pictures and answering the questions. When the guest asked the children to tell about their animal of the year in which they were born (the book was about Chinese New Year 2015 animal), Peter quickly raised his hand and answered that “mine is cow”. I checked it later at home since I knew his birth year and he was correct. He also claimed that he knew his mom and dad’s animals but I do not know if they were really correct. When the reader asked them to make the notices of animal pictured in the book, Peter eagerly made notices and seemed interested in doing this activity. After reading the book, the guest provided each child with a fold triangle shaped paper and asked them to cut the fold papers with scissors on the drawn marks to get a beautiful snow flake out of the paper. Children were asked to go to the tables to make their craft. Peter quickly ran to the table and took the scissors and started cutting the paper on the assigned mark. While his friends and other classmates constantly got help from the teachers to make sure which line they should cut the paper, Peter carefully but quickly cut the pattern out of the paper with no help from...
