Bigfoot Monster It all started on one bright Saturday morning. It seemed that I would have great day was ahead, or so I thought. I had just woken up and was still lying in bed when I heard the sound of heavy footsteps. They weren’t normal footsteps though. They were heavier and louder, as if they weren’t human. I was frozen in fear and tried to process my thoughts to what I would do if the thing came to my room. The footsteps kept getting louder and louder. What should I do? The next thing I…

It’s never easy for me to admit that I had something wrong with me, or strange thoughts went through my mind. In the pool, is where the strange thoughts hurt me the most. I found a hidden talent inside of me that I never knew existed at the age of 13, and that was my ability to swim long distance races. The first time I swam one of these, I broke a team record and I knew this was the path to go down. But through the talent I soon came to find, nerves started to set in. The thought of swimming…

Kelsey and Angela walked in silence towards the parking lot. Kelsey could tell that she was nervous, and didn’t want to push her to talk. Upon seeing Derek and Ben in the parking lot, she reached over and squeezed Angela’s hand. “You’ll do great.” She whispered before leading her over to where the two boys were waiting. “Hello gorgeous.” Ben called to her, jogging over to the two of them and pulling Kelsey in for a kiss. “We could have walked up to grab you.” “Oh no that’s okay,” Kelsey…

In the story of The Color of the Water brings me a lot of memories of my past. But there is only one sentence that touches my life really hard… “I asked her if I was black or white. She replied "You are a human being. Educate yourself or you 'll be a nobody!” When I saw this quote I remember when I was with my grandmother. She was in her chair, like all days. Nothing different but I saw her very happy, I didn’t know why she was like that. I ask her: “What are you doing grandma?” She answers…

Who’s hairy? Hey that’s me! My full name is Helen Su. That’s it. No middle name. Only 7 letters. The reason is probably cause my parents were to lazy to make it sound pleasant, perhaps that’s the reason why im extremely lazy. On typical weekends, I would sleep until 3 pm. That’s when my mom gets off work. However, that’s only on weekends, on schools days I am on time, rarely earlier. I would only be on time because I want to do well in school and become successful when I get older. I have to…

Stop trying to rush time! You’ve always had trouble with this. You have always wanted to just skip the part of being a teenager to just jumping to be an adult, but that’s not how life works. In some of this your parents have a lot to do with, because they have taught you to always act mature. But the one thing they never taught you is how to be a teenager, make mistakes and just enjoy life as much as you can. So stop trying to be something that it’s just not the time for you to be. Yes, be…

The Missing Puzzle “Farewell forever!” were the last words Jane said to me before she left Thornfield. The words Jane had said circled in my head over and over again and the enraged and heartbroken face she had on her face when she left my house pictured in my head. I felt as if a thunderstorm was going on inside me, all the hopes and plans I made to do with Jane all crushed down. I couldn’t believe what just happened. Even though I tried my best to keep Jane right next to me, she wouldn’t…

Even when the Israelites forgot where they came from and had the nerve to want to go back, God still loved them and provided. His love is so unconditional and for that I am thankful. "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us".( Ephesians 3:20) (Holy Bible, 2012) This is the love of God. I think about what caused that trip to take forty years, was the love of God not enough? We know that it was. God 's love…

We got into our rafts and started slowly towards the rapid water. I smile as we embark on this new adventure. The cool breeze blew my hair out of my face. The beautiful, bright sun blared onto our backs. The first rapid was rapidly approaching. Our guide, Steve, led us and told us which way to paddle. “Right! Right! Right!”, he yelled. The water splashed into our boat, it was like getting hit with little ice cubes. My hands were gripped tightly around the paddle as we steered clear of…

There I was waiting in the long, steadily moving lunch line at school. I was smiling and laughing with my friend. It was a regular Wednesday, just like any other. My phone was in my hand and I felt a sudden vibration. I looked at my phone to read a text message that my beloved boyfriend had sent me. It said "I don 't think this is working." As I read each word, I felt my heart crumbling to pieces. I had never felt such excruciating pain within my chest. I couldn 't believe the words that I had…
