I have consistently demonstrated high academic achievement during my school career. For three years in a row my website was one of the top three websites at the Pinellas County National History Day fair and even moved on to the State competition in the last of the three years. National History Day (NHD) is a rigorous competition that requires students to select a topic based on a theme, create an annotated bibliography that requires students to explain what each source contains, and make a website/paper/documentary/exhibit/play based on their theme. I was able to win with my websites three years in a row and was able to advance to the NHD State competition. My success in NHD was so great that my 8th grade history teacher asked my to come to judge NHD competition at the school level. I felt ecstatic to receive such a wonderful opportunity. It was an amazing experience to go and judge the school level websites and I hope to do many more times.
I also choose the most academically demanding program in the county in the IB program. This program requires students to write a college level thesis to get the IB diploma. I have maintained all As since joining this program. Ii also choose to be apart of the Mu Alpha Theta club that is the math honor society. This club requires to you to learn more that what you are taught in a normal math class. I have also been to competitions to put my math knowledge to the test. I am also going for the state competition this month that is the most challenging math competition in the state. I am part of the Academic Team that is a club that tests you on knowledge you learn in school. This club also goes to competitions weekly. Furthermore I am part of the debate team. I want to further better my public speaking and my persuasive speech so I joined this club. I don’t just work on schoolwork. I do all of these clubs in addition to arduous IB workloads.
I also just received the Palm Harbor University High school letters and

    Shot Narrative

    I am on the rough turf with the ball in my hands and blue cleats in my peripheral vision. In that moment, all I could hear were the voices in my head yelling "no". My position as goalie contradicts many of my human instincts. The voices tell me not to sacrifice my body to save a shot, but I have been trained to do so. Anxiousness fills my body as I hit the ground, but relief overcomes my mind when I feel the ball inside my palms. The details of this image are a blur. I can only remember where this took place and when. The people in the image are only a vague memory, but the emotions are, oh, so real. Some moments will be forgotten, but the feelings in that moment will always be remembered.…

    “I’ve been drinking since I was twelve, but I don’t think I was exactly twelve. Maybe older, maybe younger. I’m a little tipsy now but that’s not what you want to hear. I was once told I drank like an eel, I’m not sure what that meant, but again that’s not what you want to hear. You want me to sit here and tell you the exact traumatic moment when I began drinking; It was the first time I ever had that nightmare. The next day I asked my dad why drank, he said ‘I drink to forget’. He never told me what he was trying to forget. I thought ‘I drinking makes you forget, maybe I’ll forget the dream.’ So I drank a couple of beers then went to sleep. The dream was worse than before, but that was the cycle every night for the past thirty-five years.”…

    Football Narrative

    There had been only a couple days left till the very first football game of my senior year. The team we are playing was the Haywood County Spurs, and the game we had been preparing and practicing for since our sophomore year. The sun was blistering hot, shining down on my shoulder pads, baking me in my uniform like a freshly made apple pie on a summer day. This only made practice worse as I put all effort into it as I could. I was so sore and fatigued and happy that by the end of the week we wouldn’t be having any more sweat dripping practices. 100 yard dashes and High-jumps were not something people wanted to do every day, that’s for sure. And after those warm-up exercises we moved onto play calling. The team worked hard together during practices and repetitively did each and every play so that they came to us like a fond habit. We wanted to have these plays inscribed in our minds as we slept.…

    The Functions of Narrative

    What are we if not a collection of stories? From birth we are impressed by the stories of others till one day we start to gossip, complain about our day, sing songs, write novels, direct films, and string them together our own experiences to form a narrative. In Graeme Turner’s Film Narrative he presents the argument of Lévi-Struass, that narrative itself is used to frame our understanding of the world through the use of two opposing opposites to structure the story and can be proven by its reflection of how we define the world around us, how we reflect with the hero who. This proves to be an accurate description because, quite simply, narrative is as old as humanity itself. In the past narratives served an intense function as being the educators of the world and has been the humanities greatest vehicle in the provision of knowledge. There seems to be something astonishing in our reconnaissance of information when presented in the form of a story; for instance years after one has watched a film he may be able to remember the plot line, morals, and even identify the names of the characters, as opposed to a student coming out of a lecture hall who has to diligently study simply to recall what was told to him a few weeks prior. It seems so appropriate then, that the theme of most (if not all), religions have been to provide knowledge on what we do not know and is often told in the form of a story. To say that these master narratives provide only a list of ideals and rules is to discredit the authors, quite the contrary they present a story full of pathos and entrainment in a relatable way. Christianity, the world’s most subscribed religion for instance is told through a series of stories compiled in the world’s most popular book, the bible. Entertainment and understanding was provided through narratives, even pre-literate societies would speak of myths to give meaning and stability to their lives. The entire survival of narratives throughout the ages can probably be…
