Personal Writing: Results Of My Grammar Retest
Number of Words: 266 / Number of Pages: 1
... The first test, I studied for about 1 hour and after
that I thought that I would score high on the test. I ended up getting a

so I felt no need to study hard but to only review what I have learned.
During a test, I have many suggestions to my classmates. First
the best way to get a good result is to study until you are capable of

Since I have been here I have felt intimidated by people and not as comfortable around them as I usually do. The idea that I am at college and around older people has a lot to do with it.

is Mr. Wolly Mammoth. Wolly died because of a volcanic eruption, and was
trapped in the burning lava. He's my best buddy and I was so glad he decided to
come join me. We always talk about what we think goes on above us. Sometimes
the Earth rumbles in a strange vibration. Wolly and I call these vibrations

... talk to anyone, especially my Mom. I imagined how my Mom was feeling and began to sob even more. "October 6, 1998 - - - a day of doom." I thought.

I arrived into the Kahului International Airport at 7:45 p.m. that evening. As I walked off the plane, a cold rush ran through my body and I thought, "now it's time to face reality."
As I stood at my brot ...

Ballet Analysis: Self Evaluation
Number of Words: 2005 / Number of Pages: 8
... releves, I focused on tightening my abdominals and lengthening my lower back. Its amazing how much that centers your balance! I also noticed that at the beginning of the course, my feet would cramp terribly during the releves, but as I got stronger, the cramping stopped and my releve became much higher. The balances in coupe were extremely helpful. I learned that if I really press my working knee back and shift my weight way over my supporting leg, I can balance much longer. I also noticed, however, that when I balance I find myself tensing my upper body and staring like a "zombie". This is, of c ...

... mail box". Keith gave out a
small chuckle and thought about his mailbox. Was someone joking around with
him? It was probably that pesky neighbor boy, James. He was always coming up
with something new and unusual to try out on his neighbors. "What the hell",
Keith said aloud. He then stood up and walked over to his mailbox and opened
it up. "Yep, another card", he said. The same small, black print on it too.

As Keith ran to his back yard where his dog house was, all he could
think of was what the card had said in his mailbox. "YOUR d ...

"Its a beautiful morning."
Stan nodded and turned to face the sunset, "Its too bad it all has to end."
