How Did I Spent My Summer Vacation Essay

I am in favor of a merit pay system in Indiana under the right circumstances. I think that teachers are underpaid for what we do. I also feel that there are strong economic arguments that support a merit based pay system for teachers. However, I feel that such a system is nearly if not totally impossible to implement. Indiana has suggested implementing a merit pay system based on test scores. Not only would teachers pay be based on these test scores, but so would retention. None of the…

Plum Island Trip First of all, I decided to do this project because it included a trip to an island. My first thought was warm weather, the sun, the beach, and the ocean, but unfortunately we did this trip in a cold, dark and windy day. We spent most of our day at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, which is located along the northeast coast of Massachusetts. This refuge has it's history, it was established in 1941 for several reasons, which they are: to provide feeding, resting, and…

painful and my muscles ached. All my muscles and bones ached extremely, and times I could not distinguish if my bones hurt or my muscles. The flesh on my palms was blistered and my feet swollen. My hands were unused to hold the weights and the bars. The first three months were hard to get used to it. I could not sleep at nights from the all the aches. I could feel my chest grow at one night, and I had to adjust my positions in sleeping. My old sleeping positions are no longer comfortable due to…

what they did on that day. It was a typical day. Even though it was not written in the history books, something amazing did happen. I was born. Before that day I was only an idea. No one, not even my parents could fathom the person I, Tameika Cutina Jackson would some da become. So who did I become? I was never an ordinary child. I spent a lot of recess time reading and writing short stories or shifting through dirt looking for rocks to add to my collection. And as a grown 22 year old woman I…

throughout elementary school, I always knew my parents would eventually get a divorce. I had always known my parents were going to get a divorce. When the day came at the beginning of sixth grade, my parents sat me down and told me that they were getting a divorce. At the time, I didn’t really know what to expect, but I didn’t let it bother me. Going throughout middle school and high school, having divorced parents disrupted my plans, gave me 2 homes, and I went down a path that I would have not…

Finance is something I never put much thought into. Last summer I had great income, it felt great to receive a check every Friday. I did the usual, like tithe and spend the extra on my personal expenses. I never thought about the future, and if one day I would have a similar experience as Adam. For that reason our professor gave us a scenario. Our case was that we had a $29,500 yearly income. We had $10,000 in school loans and $10,000 car loans along with a $2,000 credit card debt. Our goal…

Like others, I never thought of my life or my family as "normal." My oldest sister and I were born to the same mother and different fathers. Even though we were not “full-siblings” we never considered it as such, therefore I grew up with a mother and two “fathers.” Furthermore, my household was multicultural, Puerto Rican on my biological father 's side, African-American, and Caucasian on my mother 's side. I constantly worked to balance and interconnect my multiple ethnicities and numerous…

It’s the summer of 2016 in West Virginia, my parents told my brother and I that we were traveling to Spain for the summer. I was really excited when they told us that, since it is a pretty place to travel to. With the towering mountains and glimmering ocean, green trees and bushes, as well as the fresh air that has a little hint of the salt from the ocean, which depends as to where in Spain you are staying at. My mom had said for my brother and I to make a list of what we’re going to take with…

She also stays in close contact with her siblings they go camping every summer together. I am a avid camper myself and I can say that camping isn’t the easiest vacation to go on. It takes a lot of time and motivation to pack your house up and the belongings you will need, than you travel how far you chose, setup camp, and start having fun, however, your day to day life with camping isn’t as easy as most may think. It takes a lot to keep you organized and put together. If you don’t have a camper…

The middle class. It’s exactly how it sounds. The middle of the socio economic ladder and what a majority of the United States working class is located. This class is what shaped me into the man I have become and continuing to grow as today. The middle class lifestyle affected me in ways such as I wasn’t able to be with my mom and dad as much, we had just enough to get what we needed, and it laid the ground work for the work ethic that I have now and continue to build on today. Growing up with…
