Liam Vereb Ms. Asuncion English 9 Honors, Block 2 13 January 2016 Conquering The Double Diamond “Wakeup! We’re going to be late,” shouted my sister as she jumped up and down on my bed. I sprang up out of my bed, showered, threw on my ski clothes and ran downstairs to join my family for breakfast. No trouble getting out of bed today as this was the day I would ski my first Black Run. I helped my father load the last of our bags into the back of the car, double-checked with mom that we had everything, and then we were off on our three-hour journey to the ski resort. "Look there it is," my sister said, pointing at the massive mountains that rose up above the clouds. Finally, after an exhausting three-hour drive we had arrived at the ski resort. Since we had been through the ticketing system before, we decided to divide and conquer. My mom and I would go and get in the line for the ski rentals while my dad and my sister would get us lockers. We would rendezvous in...

Liam Vereb Ms. Asuncion  English 9 Honors  October 2015 Business letter to Apple 1234 Plaza Square Ashburn, VA 23456 October 9th, 2015 Tim Cook 1 Infinite Loop  Cupertino, CA 95014  Dear Mr. Cook, I am an enthusiastic Apple fan. I read all the news sites, read all the blogs, and follow all the keynotes to find out about every product update. I recently bought an Apple iPhone 6s and once again the Apple product has delighted me. From the big changes like the new 3D Touch which allows users to do different things such as peek at content based on the amount of pressure applied to the iPhone screen, to the very subtle changes like the new vibration feelings of the phone when it rings. Everything about the new iPhone 6s is amazing and an improvement from the older phones.  Unfortunately my purchase experience was not nearly as pleasant. I have at least 20 Apple products in my house between my parents, my siblings, and myself. So I...

Ha Vuong Ms. Asuncion English 9H December 2015 Business Letter to Adidas 22657 Cricket Hill Ct. Ashburn, VA 20148 December 10, 2015 5055 N Greeley Avenue Portland, OR 97217 Dear Mr. Herbert Hainer, For a while now, I have been obsessing over Adidas, and recently I got a chance to purchase some items from the brand. I got some track jackets, a jogger, and some soccer pants which I have been wearing constantly because it’s so comfy and in my opinion. I have been wearing your clothes because it goes with everything I wear. I like how the Adidas logo and design are really simple, but also at the same time, it’s unique from so many other sports brands. I’ve noticed how your brand gave us, girls/women more choices in the clothing line than the boys, but with the boys it’s also a good amount to choices to choose from. Also, I like how some clothing were left alone while other clothing had designs or patterns add to it to make it fun, crazy, and cool. There...

Ha Vuong Ms. Asuncion English 9H/Block 2 11 April 2016 It’s Not Funny Have you ever been bullied? Many of us would say yes to this question because it’s always happening around us. There are many reasons why a person or group would bully others like there are many types of bullying. An everyday occurrence can also be seen through movies, TV shows, books, stories, commercials, and anything we see or read. Some groups of people and organizations show the world about bullying, the effects from being bullied, how to spot the signs and symptoms, and try to get people to understand the message across. They are doing to try to limit or at least prevent bullying from occurring. In All Summer in a Day , by Ray Bradbury, he tells a story about a girl named Margot how she gets bullied because she’s different from all the other kids (Bradbury 2). “Margot is being judged and bullied because she was born on Earth and remember about the sun while the other students were born on Venus an...

Liam Vereb Ms. Asuncion English 9 Honors, Block 2 1 October 2015 The Halloween Accident It was a cold, dark Halloween night when a young boy named Thomas was walking home from soccer practice. Thick chunks of snow fell all around him, limiting his field of vision to only a couple of feet. The wind punched at Thomas' sides knocking him left and right, but he had to continue for he was on his own.               Thomas soon came to a fork in the road where he had to make a choice. He could either go left and get home faster, but he would have to cross a frozen lake and he could risk falling in. Or he could go right and walk along a path but he would get home later. To avoid getting caught out in the ever worsening snow storm, he decided on the left and take the risk.  Thomas soon reached the frozen lake. He set the lantern down and reached into his backpack and pulled out a ruler. He remembered coming hunting h...
