“Karim chon-ata, how long does it take for that an apple tree to bear fruit?” I asked from Karim chon-ata, whom i affectionately referred to as “big father.”
“It usually takes five or six years. But it also depends on what kind of apple you are planting. This apple will produce fruit in 6 or 7 years,” he answered, smiling.
“When my grandfather died, my cousin said that old people will die. I think you will also die soon because you have a beard like my grandfather. You won’t be able to eat any apples. So why are you planting them?” I asked naively.
Rather than become angry, he laughed uproariously. “I’m not planning on it for myself, but I am planting it for you.”
“Be sure to tell Nazi chon-apa to let me eat the apples when it fruits!” I said. His wife Nazi chon-apa (big mother) was very serious, I worried that she didn’t like me.
“I will tell her to let you eat everything in the garden,” Karim chon-ata said graciously, and laughed again. I was so happy. I asked him to pick some cherries from his tree for me to eat. He never said no to me.
“Of course I’ll get some for you,” he said with a warm smile. It was late July. The cherries were only at the top of the tree. He climbed high to drop down big, sweet, red cherries. I loved cherries and stuffed them in my mouth and pocket without washing them. When
Karim chon-ata came down from the tree, ...

...the village his home. As time goes by, I have begun to understand the meaning of his words. I feel lucky that I had the chance to know Karim chon-ata personally, and I believe that even though he didn’t travel much or control world affairs, he was a global citizen.
Now no one lives in Karim chon-ata and Nazi chon-apa’s house. It is not the same house I used to go to as little girls to eat cherries from the top of the tree. When I was young, our street was the cleanest street in the village, but now I can’t say that about our neighborhood. Karim chon-ata taught me how to treat and respect all the things in our world. Once he told me, “Aychurok kyzym
(daughter), don’t waste paper. You know if you don’t value the paper, the trees will be upset by you.” I didn’t know that paper was made of trees until he told me that. Every time I see and use paper, it reminds me of him.
As we learned in class, an important trait for a leader is to set an example. In order to accomplish this example it is necessary to share your values and teach others to model these values. Eleanor Roosevelt is a perfect example of living incredible values and sharing them with the world. She “brilliantly used her position in the White House to further political, social and humanitarian
“I would love to let me get the turkey. I will bring some cranberries and squash too,” Tom said happily and went to get the food.
What is defined as a global citizen? They’re considered to be people or countries who understand their obligations at a global level. Over the past 50 years the countries of the world have become increasingly interconnected. With this, there has been an increasing awareness that only global cooperation can solve problems including poverty and epidemics, stop wars, and reverse environmental degradation and climate change. As the globe battles with these underlying problems, Australia’s partake, even the smallest amount, is fundamentally important, especially with its stance currently as being the 15th richest country in the world. However, in recent years Australia hasn’t demonstrated, in a few of these global issues, the true values and morals of being a good global citizen.

At first I didn’t realize she was talking to me, but as soon as I did I replied with “I feel like sitting here”. She then said, “I don’t want any dog eaters to sit next to me”. I was astonished when she said that, I couldn’t believe my ears. I was angry, because what she said was so absurd.
Over the years I have been very involved in my community and school. Being a part of something helps to define who you are as a person and the principles and values you hold as important. A personal experience that helps to show my talents and skills can be illustrated by my trip to Italy last April with the MHS Language Department.
someone who deserves to be known as a good role model. Here are some reasons to
From zero to hero, that would be one way to sum up James Earl “Jimmy” Carter, Jr. the 39th President of the United States’ career. Although his time in office was regarded by many as a total disaster, it was his post-presidency work that would show the world his abilities as a visionary leader with unequalled ethics. His creation of the Carter Center in 1982, paved the way for international conflict resolution for over 3 decades and would ultimately net him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. I will now explain what makes him a visionary and ethical leader as well as how it relates to me.
I show respect for everybody and believe that is one of the most important qualities for a president. A president should be able and will to listen to others.
“I was out of vegetables and hay grass so, I put FUN in them!” Pinkie Pie says enthusiastically.
I have tried to exhibit the four qualities of a DAR Good Citizen: dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism through my involvement in community theatre and student government.
There are both leaders and followers in this world, no matter which you are it is undeniable that without the leaders society would fall apart. Leadership as defined in the dictionary is “ a person who guides or directs a group”, although accurate this simple sentence does not give justice to the importance of leadership. People need to be guided and have someone to look up to, and whether you are born with leadership or acquire it the way you utilize it is the most critical. There are and have been many impressive leaders in this world but one who stands out is Nelson Mandela. Born into the Madiba tribe of South Africa a name he would later adopt as his own, he is known for his philanthropy, strong political influence, and being a revolutionist in the anti-apartheid of South Africa. He is such a shining example of ideal leadership not just because of the impact he had but the starkly different way he handled things for his time. He advocated compassion, forgiveness and determination causing him to be the first black president of South African reigning from 1994-1999. His death this december caused grief but also a celebration of the wonderful influential life he enjoyed. This union of people demonstrated how many lives he touched and the vivacious presence he brought wherever he went, which is why he will forever be known as one of the best rulers, one who truly defines leadership in the most veracious of ways.

These experiences have afforded me opportunities to demonstrate my gifts and talents that had previously gone undiscovered. Through different community service opportunities, I either learned something new about myself or I was reassured something. These qualities include that I am creative, reliable, open-minded, passionate, and an effective team player. Community service changed my life by developing my character through enhancing my transferable skills, which allowed me to see the world differently. Everyone, from all walks of life, needs to in some way, shape, or form give back to the community because it will not only benefit the less fortunate but it will benefit the volunteers as well. Additionally, I learned about the wide variety of resources available to help the community. There are so many resources out there that people are ignorant to like certain shelters and food banks. Ultimately, community service taught me the greatest gift I could ever receive, how to be
Apple trees have been dropping their babies from the sky, hurling them towards the ground in hopes that they will grow new trees. Unfortunately, as I trudge through their corpses on the gravel road, I have seen this to be a vain hope of nature that cannot adapt to human expansion. There are tracks, however, in these apple stained roads and perhaps humans will expand that throughout the
