...¨Prom is only two weeks away and I still don't have a date!¨Yamelis said to her best friend as she went around scrambling for a date. Everyone seemed to have a date except for her. She was discouraged. Yamelis thought who would ever want to go to prom with her. All the boys went for the pretty and popular girls, not her. Yamelis was at her locker brainstorming how she would ask out the love of her life Joseph. She had the biggest crush on him ever since he picked up her pencil in science class. She was so stressed! She looked over and spotted Joseph with a bunch of girls surrounded by him. She had no possible chance of even going to prom with him afterall. Later that day, Yamelis finally got the courage to ask him. She started searching for...

...Prom Night The ringing of my alarm clock woke me up; I reached for it to make it stop. Still in my bed, I began to stretch a bit. I barely slept the night before, I was to excite for prom. It was already late Thursday morning, the sun was gleaming through my windows and I knew I had a lot to get done. My mom entered my room “It’s prom day!” she squealed. She seemed more excited about my prom than I was. “C’mon get up, you need to get your hair, nails and makeup done!” I got out of bed and began to start my day. While taking a shower, hot water beating against my skin, I planned out my day. Everything seemed perfect, just the way I wanted it to be. Stepping out of my house, I felt the humidity smack me in my face; this wasn’t a good sign at all. I quickly grabbed my phone to check the weather. Eighty-five degrees? I knew there wasn’t anything I could have done to change the weather, I just had to cross my fingers and hoped that my hair wasn’t going to become frizzy My day started out with getting my nails done, then my hair, then my makeup. Being the impatient person that I am, I couldn’t help becoming anxious, I couldn’t wait to get all these things done with. Even though, I did enjoy the feeling of getting pampered. During my preparation for prom, I was so nervous because I didn’t know what to do. The smell of hairspray, nail polish and makeup filled the atmosphere. My hands were shaking and sweating, my heart was beating so fast, and it was like I was running in an Olympics...

...Best Prom Ever “Best Prom Ever” When I was in 4th year high school, I had so much fun in our prom night. I’m so grateful because it gave me good memories that will be unforgettable for me. Our prom started with an entourage. I’m nervous that time because I’m thinking that I might not do it well. But luckily, I passed on it with my partner. Then, many other ceremonies followed such as the opening ceremony, invocation, singing of the national anthem and the school hymn, turn over ceremony of seniors to the juniors, and next is what everyone’s waiting for, the awarding. I really expected that I would be the Ms.Senior. But when the MC announced the Ms.Senior, I heard that it was a different name, in short, it wasn’t me. So I am really frustrated. But suddenly, I heard the MC already announcing the Queen of the Night, he called my name! I can’t believe that it was me. I just noticed it when my friends also called me and teased me. I thought it was just a dream. Then I went to the stage, I’m still shocked and I’m out of myself. I saw everyone’s looking at me while they’re smiling. I’m happy because no one says or even thinks that I don’t deserve it. Just a few minutes afterwards, the Seniors’ special number started. I’m in front because I’m one of the good dancers. I danced gracefully and confidently. I think it is also the effect of being the Queen of the Night. I just can’t move on. And last in the program, the “dance dance party…”. Party songs are played first. So everyone...

...Years Most people would say that HIGH SCHOOL is one of the best and happiest experience a person could have. It is the time where students learn to break the status quo but it is also the time where we learn to prioritize what we want the most. Indeed, high school isn’t all about happiness alone but it is about learning, acquiring friends, excelling and most importantly being Persons of Character and Competence. Being a transferee and freshmen student is truly hard. I know no one except my previous classmates, I am not familiar with the school’s facilities and I feel like all my teachers are the terror ones. If I remember it right, on my first week of classes I sometimes cry secretly during religion time, why? I also don’t know. It’s kind of fun having flashbacks of those memories and now, all I can do is laugh at my silly deeds. But I must say that my freshmen year had helped me really cope up with PCC’s curriculum. As I leap a year higher, I got more accustomed to the school especially with the activities. I found myself enjoying the Intramurals, the Foundation Day and a lot more. However, I’ve learned to balance my extra-curricular activities with my studies. And unexpectedly, I was able to qualify in the Homogeneous class. At first, it was tough on my part for I can feel the pressure. But as we move along, friendship was built instead of the competition. On my junior year, my excitement grew even more. The prom fever is truly felt not just in the four corners of our classroom...

...June 10 finally was arriving. Our graduation ceremony was at five in the afternoon. We had to arrive by four o’clock for our final practice. This was the most bitter sweet moment ever. I don’t think anyone cried, but it was still an emotional day for us all. This was the final practice run. It was also painful because it was required that we had to walk around the whole school to the doors we had to enter in, in my heels. I’m pretty sure every girl had on heels, but if we knew that we had to walk around the school we would have thought twice. Horrible feeling, I felt like collapsing because the pavement was not smooth, it was terrible and we had to do it twice. We sung our alma mater, one of our previous graduates who went to Harvard spoke, our valedictorian and salutatorian spoke. It was awesome and not too long, there were only 98 of us. My uncle recorded the entire thing, they also showed pictures of us take throughout...

...It was indeed a good job with good people, who helped one another whenever they could. Like the time his boss Dick Helm lent Heim a brand new 1947 Chevy, so he had a ride to prom. Bill Heim and his girl were thrilled to cruise to prom in a sleek new ride! That same boss also helped Heim grow with Davey. “Finally! They started training me to trim trees. I wasn’t the best when I first started, but I got the hang of it,” Heim says. Once he got started, Bill Heim never stopped. “I worked all the phases in the field, worked up through the ranks, climber, foreman, general foreman and supervisor. Then I was transferred to the Kent Office,” Heim says. In Kent, Heim remembers how he started each day. The girls in the mail room had a tiny, ceramic lion on their desk, and every time Heim passed it, he’d growl. They used to say, “Mr. Heim, you’re crazy!” Heim was crazy for Davey. “I lived Davey Tree. I ate Davey Tree. I was Davey green from the inside out!” Heim shares. With his passion and iron work ethic, Heim worked...

...girls. I was one of the only girls that was going to church and had a strong family background. This affected me greatly. I would get made fun of because of some of the choices I would make. Since I was the youngest, I would always get the talks on how to improve myself with more partying or having more boyfriends. I was not raised that way, so it really bother me that’s how they viewed the world. I was dating a guy from Cory-Rawson most of my sophomore year. He was in my class and showed cows with him. He happened to be Clay’s cousin, and everyone thought it was funny because I had a crush on Clay for the longest time. That was my favorite relationship I think I have ever been in. Since he played football for Cory, I would go to all his games and wear his jersey to school on Fridays. Before we started dating, I was best friends with his sister; Kendra, and still am today. Kendra and I would travel with her parents to every game to watch both our boyfriends. I went to their homecoming, basketball games, and made many friends. Once Christmas started to hit, he started to be distant and didn’t really want to hang out much. We never hung out on New Year’s, and i was really upset because he didn’t want to do anything for New Year’s. The last time we had hung out was when we exchanged Christmas presents. He texted me on January 7th, and said we needed to break up. I was so torn up. Kendra came over that saturday to spend the night. I was so sad. I eventually got over it, but it was really...

...Sam Lincoln September 14, 2014 Who I Am Wake up son, get your shit together. Why aren’t you taking your future seriously? You better buckle down, you’re running out of time. These are some of the things I have heard my entire life. I’m just your average young man that has missed out on opportunities to become something more than average. I haven’t always made the right decisions when it comes down to it. Not anymore though, that ship has sailed and I’m hoping to better myself each and every day. Growing up I did what every kid does, get into trouble. Sometimes I would take it to the extreme, like when I was nine years old and almost burned my entire house to the ground. I’m laughing as I write and think about that experience. What kid wouldn’t love to play with fire at that age though? Or another situation when I was in high school and a teacher tried pulling a Miami Heat hat off of my head on “Hat day”. “Hat day” was a day where you were allowed to wear any hat that you’d like, but the teacher apparently had a problem with me in the first place and didn’t like the way I was wearing it. It was like he literally wanted to fight me over a hat in the middle of the hallway. I got suspended for a couple days because I didn’t “cooperate” with an authority figure… I’m shaking my head as I write this but these types of things don’t really impact your future as much though at that age. I grew up with an older brother and the things he did really influenced...

...AN INCESSANT FAILURES COPYRIGHT 2012 WHERE IS THE REAL AUDREY? Neill Carlton has spent his life in the perpetual idea of getting dumped. But because of his one childish act, he was sent in a military school by his father and met enigmatic Audrey Griffith who stole his not-so-experienced heart and become a mystery. And after eight years of looking for her, Neill met the lovely Aimee Griffith who has the exact replica of Audrey and sure an enigma too. Urged down by their similar appearances, Neill was bound to discover the truth behind their mysteries… Introduction: Well, first of all, it's hard to narrate a story especially when a tragic music is stuck in your ears and the song tells about a girl wanting her guy back in her nonsense life when in fact I've never experienced having a girl, down-to-her-feet, longing for me to come back in her ingenious life. And then the next song saying that a guy asking for a lad's name and him confessing how the girl's beauty affected his innermost and now he's asking for a date and me not even a single thing experienced one of these and it’s kind of a routine. Anyway, this may sounds a little bit a bookworm of me but the truth is, I have read a hundred and twenty three books on how to win a girl's heart and with those incessant thoughts and words I have come to meet, none of it actually work. I don't know if I read the book cover quickly or didn't understand the selection really or getting dumped is just really...

...“The Best Years of Your Life” It was a Wednesday morning, and was the first time in months my alarm clock was not set for 6:30 am. The month of June was finally here and as I laid in my bed, I suddenly flashbacked to the past four years of my life. Those cool fall Friday nights cheering from the stands at the football games. The wins and loses celebrated and suffered on the Basketball court and track. Getting ready and dancing the night away at Prom and the numerous amounts of stress from homework and tests, yet it was all worth the while in the end. As my day went on, the time approached to put on my fresh, crisp, orange robe and cap that I have been admiring for weeks. A tear suddenly fell down my face. This was it, tonight at 7:00pm; it was going to be the last time I would ever be with all 280 students of the class of 2011. It was a bittersweet feeling. I knew I had a bright and new future ahead of me, I knew things were never going to be the same, which petrified me. My tears of uncertainly suddenly changed to tears of joy when my parents called me to come outside because they had a “surprise” for me. A million things were running through my mind however, once I opened my front door I nearly fainted. A brand new 2011 Navy Jeep was sitting in front of me. In an outburst I broke into tears and all I remember was my dad saying, “If you don’t like it, I will certainly keep it.” I was smiling from cheek to cheek. How could I be so lucky to be blessed with the greatest parents...

...Compare and Contrast If you want a complete story, read the book. If you want a shot version, watch the film. Although there are many similarities and some differences this could still take away from the Movie if you watched it first instead of reading the book. Laurie Halse Anderson In the movie I think there are a lot of things that could have been compared and contrasted. In the Movie there was not a no mirror scene or no prom scene. In the book Andy does not stand up for Melinda in the movie he does. In the movie Andy is not Portrayed as a monster or at least to the extent of the book deceptions. In the book she gets raped under a tree, but in the movie she gets raped in Andy’s jeep. In the book it seems like her parents and her never...

...I personally gave a lot of thought into nostalgic memories from my childhood. I remembered little me, starting off in apartment 40D. I remembered the dress ups, religiously watching Disney Channel, and how intrigued I was - only three or four by things such as sweet sixteens and proms. And my first concert, and when my sister came to visit me from Denver, and I wondered down the road will these emotional memory injected airlooms ever matter. The short answer to this question is: yes. Yes they do presently matter, have mattered and will continue to matter, because they molded me into the person I am today, and the future adult and leader I will one day be. They have even influenced a lot of my personal best decisions that I have made since I’ve been in high school. Each year as these memories age, I continue to use them to aid my development as a young adult, and becoming the person I actually want to be. But recently, I’ve taken part of a lot of regret. I let myself defuse. I turned myself, my record, my grades and my reputation into somebody I’m not. I let myself fall past my minimum because I was too afraid to...

...Growing up I had many close friends, but my very best friend throughout high school was Kimberly Rivera. We had been best friends since Junior High so going into Conroe High School together was bound to be an adventure. Since freshmen year we have been inseparable, we had Algebra I together our first year and it was great to see a familiar face when there were so many people I didn’t know. That was the only class we had together until our senior year. I thought we would stop talking since our schedules were pretty much the opposite of one another but we still managed to make it work. We would still hang out after school and go to the mall, to the movies, or just hang out at one of our houses. I saw many friends that also had friendships like...
