I am proud to be Asian. All the stupid stereotypes jokes. "He's probably smart because he's Asian"."Damn all you Asian look alike"."Go learn some English, Chink". I'm standing here now to explain that I don't represent all Asians. I'm standing here to prove that I'm me and what define me. The first point I wanna tell you guys are about my race and my nationality. just because I am Asian does not mean that I always have an A on my test. Let me tell you something about me, I do struggle. Everyone
It was a beautiful summer day when it happened. I was enjoying the fresh air and the amazing view of Walden Pond. The sun was shining and a slight breeze blew across my face. I love standing still and listening to the swishing of the leaves and the soft feet of animals running through the grounds. On this day in particular it was quiet. It was a holiday so no one was around. As I needed to get away from the stress and the difficulty of everyday. Life now is so complex now a days. There are so
“A best friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have,” Sarah Parker quoted. Now isn’t that the truth! Who knew I’d be standing up here today making a toast to my best friend who’s about to get married. For those of you who may not know me, I’m the maid of honor and the bestfriend of this beautiful bride. First, I want to start off by saying, ya know every once in a while...two people meet...sometimes for a reason others not for a reason, and sometimes you just know it’s meant
went to PSU. I still remember that day. It was hard for me to leave my parents, and it was even harder for them, it was my brother leaving all over again. I told them that I really wanted to live in Portland and that I wouldn't cut communication. I didn’t tell them the real reason I wanted to move, but what I said was still the truth. Here I am now still going to PSU and living in Portland Oregon, I live in a small house, it’s nothing much but the rent was still pretty expensive. I’m just glad my parents
There are papers sprawled out on the desk. She is reading off notes from a paper in front of her.

learn about. Other than what I was taught about the basics. I can recall a distant memory when I was coming into the port passing what they called Liberty Island, I observed the Statue of Liberty standing there almost giving me a warm salutation as I passed by welcoming me to my new found home. I can still remember stepping off this smelly ship and being directed into a “staging” area as if I was in a herd and getting checked in be slaughtered. As I passed through the doors of the processing center
Canadian couple whose accent was so rich; I would have about a 30 second delayed response to try to convert their English into my English. Then there are the people who just won’t accept my help because I’m only a kid. None of these people compare to the dude that was deaf. About a month ago I was standing in the main aisle of Ace chatting with Lambert, one of my coworkers. As we were talking, I noticed a guy approaching us. When I looked over my shoulder, I saw him stare right into my eyes, so I knew
hard work has finally paid off. I never actually thought I’d be here, standing here. I 'm finally someone with a purpose in life, a soldier. My whole life I have wanted to be something more, something important, and now standing here it’s hard to believe I 've finally made it. I stand completely still, with the sun beating down on my face and the heat making it almost unbearable. The only thing that gets me through it is knowing I’m about to see my family for the first time in two months. It’s almost
The sun has going down, yet I still can look through her mesmerizing eyes pleading to me for the nth time. Hope this is not true, hoping that all of my statement is nothing, like I just want to tease her with my joke, one of my really bad joke, and after that we could be all together and feel the other presence as always. But these 3 years we had shared together, all moment we could not forget easily, will become our last secret, which others wouldn’t know. Nothing had come from my mouth, as well
Long overdue Conversation Topic / Scripture : Using the time God gives us; the importance of family; Mat. 20:6 “About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around.

Out of breath and gasping for air. I ran around to every room. I finally stumbled upon the right room. I slowly pushed through the door. My parents were standing in the corner of the room, along with the doctor. “I’m sorry, but she didn't make it…” he said in a small voice. The doctor’s heavy footsteps walked out off the room. My mother’s soft eyes flooded with sadness as she tightly hugged my father. He stroked my mother’s hair as
be selfless, to love, and to care for those around her. The big idea bravery is portrayed throughout the entire book. One complex lesson that the story proposes is that bravery is the ability to be confident in you and your decisions, as well as standing up for those you love, even if it may work against you.

school shows you a fairy tale, but as soon as you step into the gates on day two, all hell breaks loose. I'm standing in front of the gates deciding if I should enter the world of horror. I'm late, I have no time to stand here and contemplate about my existence. The school looks like a ghost town, except the occasional lost new kid. Everyone is in class right know, but I have no idea what class I'm suppose to be in. I rush to my small locker, shuffling through all the blank books not knowing which
names are not known, they are still known as the oldest and youngest and that they exist. But, they are only two thirteenths of my family, including my dad. Nobody knows about me, the middle child, so let introduce myself. Hi, I’m Caroline and I’m now about 12 years old and I was born at 12:00am. Something you don’t hear everyday. But that isn’t very important now since that’s about to change as the story goes on. Sounds strange, but you’ll see as you read on. I’m average height for a 12 year
distance; I quicken my pace down the street for fear of the storm. I cling tightly to bundle of books I hold my hands, my house is still far away. It’s better to be away from that place. I stare at the pavement as the water pours down from the sky; within moments I find myself on the ground I look up to meet the blue eyes from an unfamiliar face. He kneels down next to me “I'm so sorry,” he says in a shaky voice. He begins to gather the scattered books in his arms. As I stand up to meet his blue eyes
and the last day is just as long as the first. Three years of hard discipline and learning to get used to homework every night. Three years of standing on the front steps waiting for my parents and saying goodbye to my teachers. I never thought the goodbye might be permanent. 6th grade came and I was looking up at those giant 8th graders, and now I guess I’m one of them. 6th grade, and I was saying hello, and now 8th grade has come and it’s gone from introductions to goodbyes as my last days as a middle

stalks of grass, standing tall like trees to the tiny ants that scurry among them. What I must look like to those minuscule creatures, like a giant, so big that I block the blazing sun and give them shade. I wonder if they are afraid of me? I lift my eyes and glance ahead. I’m almost there, only a couple more meters. I hear footsteps behind me, they’re catching up quickly. It’s now or never. I push off with my back foot and go into a sprint. My heart speeds up, almost as fast as I’m running and I can
