College Essay

  The Oregon state university is the college that I would be joyed to attend not only for the good athletics but for great academics because Oregon is the school that can push me to my limits to come out of the successful. The college of Oregon is a great way that I can start my culinary career and also have a chance to play baseball for the ducks. This can help me to improve on my different skills that can help me become my future job, also I can maybe enhance my skills in baseball and maybe have a chance to play professional baseball. I would also like to mention that the community service that I have attended was the winter craft fair in 2011 by setting up for all of the venders and lead them to their booths, also going to the fishing convention to help clean and set up for all of the  venders and help them with the products. This college is one more step to take until I can call myself and adult because by being able to attend Oregon would be a pleasure because I can express my ideas about how I think it’s right to cook and how other people can teach me the correct ways so I can fix my mistakes a d learn what things I need to cover to reach for my goal. From me coming from a hard time by seeing my parents fighting and divorcing each other I learned that there more than just fighting and getting married you have to achieve what you want to do then get married. I came from a family who would always be there for you no matter what. this college is like my future to dream of stepping on to that campus and just saying wow I made it also I would say to myself wow I reached my goal in life now there is one more step I got to study hard and get good grades. My high school years I learned that there’s more to life than having fun and fooling around I have to pay attention and do my work by that it can make me more closer to my goal and make me a more better person because I use to always slack off and goof around now in college I got to understand that I have to give my time and dedication to work hard and be successful. In conclusion I think that I can reach this goal but only if I have the mind, heart, power, and soul and to put in my dedication and my time to complete my achievement.

Coming of Age Poster- Draft

     first draft

                                         Coming of age

                                                           By Ryan Souza

    BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!! As I hear the sound of my alarm going off at 6:30a.m that was the sign that I knew it was game day. As I stretched out of my bed just wishing I could sleep in I do a quick prayer that said “dear lord just lets us have a good day today and let me do my best amen”. Just with a quick splash of water in my face I am awake. This story is the time that I realized that I just needed one more person to watch my game and that was my great grandma.

    As the league announcer pronounces welcome to the Aiea little leagues all start tournament. At that moment I knew that it was time to play some baseball. “Ryan Souza your up to bat” when I heard my name I glared into the fans and could not spot out my great grandma, not even my mom was there so at that moment I knew something was up. So I the moment I go into the plate I do my best to focus but my mind is saying “where is ever one”. Strike one, strike two, strike three I am out.

   On July 10 was my grandmas birthday and she had the biggest and priceless smile on her face. My grandma means so much to me by teaching me so much about life and how to cook one dish she taught cook was her papaya soup from dicing the papaya, to making the both and then serving it to the family. To me my grandma was my idol she taught me how to show respect to other people and just to live life the way you want to live it and no one else can change you.

   “Here we go Aiea here we go” it was the bottom of the sixth inning with us up 2 runs against Honolulu. We were on the field with two out, then all of a sudden a straight line shot was hit to me and I caught it for the third out. So as I ran in I finally seen my mom and for some reason she was sprinting down the hill and called my name “Ryan Ryan” so as I ran to her she said “baaban (great grandma) passed away and all of a sudden my heart just drop and I was tearing so much I had to leave my game. As we rushed to the house I could just see cars parked anywhere. So as I walked up the stairs I couldn’t look or even wave I rushed pass the room my grandma was in and went it to the other room and just laid there just saying god how come it had to happen now lord and I just cried and cried.

   This had made me become such stronger person because I knew it was time for her and she had left me with a lot of good experience from here. I knew that it was time for her to pass and as she can live a happy life up there instead of her suffering down here. She knew that it was time for her to go because she couldn’t teach me more than what she already had. Even though I really miss her she can still make me a good person even though she not here. I learned that I can move on with the lessons she has gave me and I will always love her.
