Recommended: The importance of college

During the school year, Saturdays are an extra day you have to study before a huge test or to complete one of the best essays ever written. Although, some Saturdays we have spare time and decide to get out rather than burying ourselves with homework. College is indeed a full-time job, but at the same we must find time for memorable moments. I would like to travel back to a Saturday when I had to camp out for shoes to receive one of the greatest sneakers of all time, the “Bred 11’s”.
Camping out for shoes may sound kind of unordinary, but it’s something you have to do when it’s a sneaker that everyone wants. Some shoes can be so limited that you have to make the line at least the first fifty people to get a chance to purchase them. Through this tradition, people have been killed, stabbed, and even robbed over shoes. Ridiculous right? The love of shoes has caused so much chaos over the years, that most stores have started to choose the option of raffling tickets instead. Raffling tickets are safer and it gives everyone a chance to purchase a shoe, and its also a quicker process as well. Instead of standing in line, you simply just receive a ticket with your name and if you win, you get a chance to receive the shoe as the store will notify …show more content…

My facial expression looked as if I walked into class and my professor informed me that I had failed the final exam. The line was so enormous that I just wanted to turn around and go back home. There were about eighty people in line at least, and my heart just dropped. I had definitely underestimated the crowd as I didn’t expect it to be so many people at that time. I asked one guy in the middle of the line what time he got there and he told me at 2:00 p.m., and that he was number thirty in line. Once he told me that information, doubt started to creep in slowly upon me as I didn’t think I was going to get the

  • Analysis Of Small Shoes

    814 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Small Shoes, Camille Licate shares her story of how she has learned to let go of the things in life that had been holding her back, so that she could be open to new opportunities. She does this by using the metaphor of shoes. While there are some opportunities in life that help to carry you forward, eventually, you may need to let go of them in order to take advantage of other opportunities. Likewise, you cannot keep using the same pair of shoes forever. At some point, you will outgrow them, and need a new pair to help you get to the place where you need to be. Through this metaphor, Licate explains how your plans for the future may change with time and dance is not the only career path out there for dance majors. She also relates

    This summer, after I was informed that I had been offered a teaching assistantship, I was terrified. I was not sure that I was capable of teaching students about a discipline in which I still possessed such a conscious doubt of my own abilities. For most of my life I was what you might call a non-achiever. When my parents strongly suggested that I enroll in college (the other option being to leave the house) everyone around me just sort of held their breath waiting for my inevitable failure. Then a strange thing happened. I passed my classes, and even enjoyed them.

    Exam number one. The test to start off the semester. Bombed it. What seemed to be so easy, all of a sudden, got extremely difficult. I went blank. Scientifically speaking, I had test anxiety. Next thing I know, I’m sitting with a F in the class. A pretty low F at that. But how? All of this “low grade clerical work” was such a breeze. It was like I forgot everything I did for the past two weeks. So of course I panic. I can’t go into college next fall with an unacceptable grade like that on my transcript! I make it a point to study hard for the next

  • A Comparison of High Heels and Flats

    622 Words  | 2 Pages

    Women are always searching for the right shoe. There are so many different styles, types, colors, and even heights. To me the two most common types are high heels and flats. Well, at least in today’s fashion those are the two most common. Both, if paired with the correct outfit are simply stunning. High heels offer a sexier look that’s nearly impossible to get from a flat shoe. Nevertheless, I feel very strongly about women in high heels. They make your legs look longer, butt look better, and they are sexier than flats. On the other hand, if you’re running around and being busy all day, nothing feels better than a cute pair of flats. Its time we hit the ground running as we explore the real similarities and differences of the two common types of shoes, in which I mean comfort, styles, and versatility.

  • My Education Experience Essay

    1017 Words  | 3 Pages

    The test was early on a Saturday morning. I remember eating an early breakfast and then packing my bag for the test. Everything about the day was going to be unfamiliar, from the location to the fact that the test was timed. I didn’t even own a school backpack yet, having never needed one before, so I packed my number 2 pencils, erasers, calculator and water bottle in an another bag instead. I walked into an unfamiliar high school and having no experience finding my way through the maze of hallways, followed signs until I found my way to the classroom in which the testing would take place. Before this moment I had never had to sit at a desk before. The straight lines of desks were so orderly and there was a proper classroom feeling that I had never experienced before in my home. I remember sitting there with my stomach in knots; standardized testing is anxiety inducing for almost any student, and I had the usual test-taking nerves combined with the unfamiliarity of a new

    The first time I took it I had rushed through it. Therefore, I did not pass the writing, math, and reading sections that I needed by ten points. My second try was more successful but not quite fully. I took all of the sections once again and was nervous that I would fail since I kept thinking back to the first time I took those sections. The results lifted up my mood. I had passed the math and reading sections. Unfortunately, I had gotten a four on my writing once again. I needed a five in order to pass the section. I decided to give it one more try before I gave up. I studied harder than I had with the other sections since I had difficulties with writing. The following week I showed up to only take the writing section. I was overwhelmed with stress and sleep deprivation, but I wanted to get into MSA. Therefore, I stayed there and gave it a third try. I was asked to write about Mongols. To my advantage, my world history class was going over Asia. When I finished the section, I held my breath until I submitted the test. I did not dare to look at my grade on the computer screen until I saw it on paper. When the supervisor handed me the paper, a smile spread across my
