Scott+R

Scott Raymond English Vignettes 1. “My Name” My name is Scott; there are 5 letters in my name, just like 5 fingers on your hand. My name is very meaningful to me, S stands for spontaneous, C stands for ca, ca, ca, cool. O stands for outstanding, and both the double T’s stand for tough, and the Ten Commandments that a follow throughout my life along my religion, witch is Christianity. My names fit be to be unique, Scotland is a very interesting unique place, although Scott may be spelled differently, these two are both interesting because Scotland is an interesting place, and Scott (me) is an interesting person. Whether you call me Scotty or Scott, or Scott Michael (my middle name is Michael), whether you call me any of those, I will most likely respond, because my parents gave me the blessing of my meaningful name, so when I hear it being called out most likely I will turn and answer.

2. “A Good Day” Today was a good day. It started off pretty well; I had not waked up to an annoying alarm clock going off like a fire truck right beside my bed! Although when I did look at the clock it only said 6 30, but that was alright because I had gone to bed rather early the night before, so I got enough sleep to wake up properly at 6 30 and being alright with it. Now after I opened my eyes, I realized my room was freezing, so I rolled up into a little ball in my bed, and shut my eyes and fell back to sleep. After that everything seemed to go good and according to what I had thought would happen today, just like a good correct weather report a weatherman had told on TV last night. He would expect the weather he pronounced to be correct, but was not 100% sure if it would really happen. Well that’s how I thought my day would happen. I assumed it would go bad after I kept thinking I was going to have a good day. But what do you know, just like a prediction a weatherman really has, I was right, it was a good day, and along with me being right, so was the weatherman, predicting a snow day today! (=

3. “A Change” Everyone in there life may need this or it just happens. This is what happens to the seasons, a change. From time to time the leaves on the tree’s start to change colors. The weather starts to get more frigid and cold, so from this change a person must make a change to try and get warmer and stay warmer, its instinct. Throughout my whole life, and anyone’s lives, they have had to face changes, or still are in a process of changing. Whether they are good or bad changes, it’s only for the better. I throughout my whole life and I am pretty sure throughout anyone else have had to make changes. One change that needs to occur in my life would be to do better in school and be a better student. My grades in the previous years are not terrible, but I would certainly like to pull them up to honor roll material. I like to put this in my mind, but really every single time I head to class and get in there.. Its just another day until summer comes. I don’t put the process together but I like the idea of changing my grades around. I think just like winter, or summer, or fall, the season’s change, just like me, I think, well I know that this change will happen!

4. “A Place” Have you ever had that certain place where you feel most comfortable? Like even if you’re alone there, you just feel like you’re at the most comfort ablest place you have ever been at? You feel fine with the environment, and people in the surrounding place, if there are people there? Well there is this once place I know; the ordinances of this special place are 8 Cottage Place, Hillsdale New Jersey. That address is the address to my house. This I feel is the place in the world where I can be myself and feel most comfortable. I always feel loved by my surrounding family members there or my friends that will come over will have respect for my house and me. This place will always been sunny. My house is like the only fire that can live in the rain. There is always something going on here, or people here to make you feel welcomed and special. This is my most comfort ablest place to be.

5. “A Possession” Something that is yours and only yours can be called a possession of yours. Everyone has their own possession of something that they own or bought, or have. Whatever it is, no matter what size or what it is, its there, there own possession and no one else’s. As I have grown up I have learned to realize I have had many possessions in my life, some I have lost, so still here until the day I die. The most important part of that I realized is, if it is your possession than make it yours, and treat it like its your and no one else’s. No matter what it is or how special it is. Having a possession to yourself is like having your own car. This can be a very special thing to certain people in their own little way. A possession to me is something that I will really remember for a long time. It’s a memory.

6. “Someone You Know Well” Throughout my life and childhood etc, there have been millions of people in it. Whether I have just seen them in and out of my life, and never even talked to them, or whether they were my parents or best friends, people have always been in my life. Some people I know really well, as to a librarian knowing the library like the back of her hand. An example of a person in my life that I know really well would probably be my Dad. He is probably the definition of boss. He owns his own business, Raymond Brothers Landscaping Inc. and has been very successful throughout his life and will continue too. He gives 125% all of the time no matter what; I would have to say he is my role model. He wakes up at 5 am every morning to go on cite checks to make sure everything’s in place, he is in work by five in the morning and out by seven o clock at night. He works hard at everything he does, he is my best friend and my role model, and I don’t think I know anyone else like I know him.

7. “Your Neighborhood” Hillsdale. This is the name of my town. Where I live, where I hang, where I go to school. This has been my hometown for so long. Sometimes this place is very very very boring, and all I want to do is pack my bags hop on a plane and just leave. But other times, it’s a very nice place, the people in this town are all friendly, and it’s a pretty big town, a lot of stores and places to hang out. All in all it’s a great place to grow up and live in, the environment is clean and kept well. There are tons of people that are very caring and kind. This is my hometown and somewhere I will always remember for the rest of my life where ever I go or whatever I do, I will not forget Hillsdale, so many great memories. As much as I want to get away from it sometimes, there is no other place I would rather grow up in besides Hillsdale.

8. “A Symbol” A symbol is a certain representation of something. Anything can be a representation of something, or something’s. For example in some religions a dove can represent the Holy Spirit. There are certain things that people use for representations. One representation that is important to me is a cross that I where everyday. It’s a gold chain with a cross dangling at the bottom of this. I never take it off, its always on me. I have this to represent God is always with me no matter what. Watching over me and protecting me, whether I am doing stupid things, or if something were to go wrong. He is always there for me no matter what. It makes me feel safe and happy. I feel strong and re assured that God has got my back no matter what. Through thick and thin, he is always there watching my back and watching over me. That’s what my favorite symbol is.

9. “Someone you know not so well” Everyone has some sort of friends in there life. Whether its one friend or friends, but in your life there are people you know very well, maybe through people, or there just your really good friends, although there are people like that, there are also people in your life that you do not know so well. There is one person I do not know to well. His name is Steven Glands-burg. He is in my 4th period lunch and sits alone in the back table. He does not have to many friends in that lunch or in general. I would like to get to know this kid a little bit more because when ever I see him, I never know anything about him, cause he is someone I do not know so well. In the world today I try my hardest to try and become better friends with people I do not know cause I get a better feeling when I fully know someone.

10. “Something you want but don’t have; a Dream” There is always something in the world that one person has the desire for, but cannot have. There is a definite reason why the person can’t have what they desire or want. My friend Alex is a football player, he wants to do great things in life, but one thing that he wants to do is go to school for culinary arts although he cant because his dad is pressuring him into going for football even though that’s not what he really wants. People have to make decisions in their life like Alex has to about what he really wants to do and what others want him to do. A lesson you will learn and should learn soon is to do what you want, not what others want, and don’t care about anyone else’s thoughts. To be successful in life you cant let peoples thoughts get to you, you have to do what you really want to do.
