It was 2:32 p.m., the plane was coasting the concrete for almost five minutes now. I had landed in Phoenix, Arizona and the ride from the oaky part of California; that no teenager ever visits, was pretty pleasant, apart from the fact that I had to pee the entire time. Honestly, I seriously was the only fifteen year old there, awkwardly squeezing my quivering legs together while I tried to get people to focus their attention on the small packaged peanuts I kept eating. Even after all the noise I made, constantly pushing my index finger and thumb through the sealed plastic, they probably still noticed my legs trembling. I could not wait for the plane to reach the correct terminal so that I could deplane and run for the bathroom.

I did not want a yellow, reeking substance trickling down my inner thighs. Once, I had figured out the quickest route to the nearest bathroom, I was headed for it with no hesitation. As I reached the water fountains which were directly five steps left from the bathroom, I had noticed a teenage girl that seemed about the same as age as myself. All I could notice about her was the extremely loud and obnoxious voice she had. It was the pitch of her voice that was irritating, along with her disrespectful comments. The girl said, “MOM! I do not care, I have plans with my boyfriend, so I am not having dinner with anyone tonight except him. Can you just make sure that you put money in my account, also where is father? I have been at this airport for almost five minutes now, where is he?!”, she then won an award for the most impolite and impatient daughter of the year. I was one hundred percent positive she was a spoiled brat and I had made that observation in just the ten seconds that it took to get into the bathroom and inside a stall. Of course, the girl had to enter the bathroom just as I was and she had chosen the stall right next to mine. At this point, I had already peed and pulled up my pants, as I bent over to pick up my baggage I had saw a wallet. It must have been the annoying girl’s wallet, I picked it up so that I could find her and hand it to her. Once, I dug the dirt from underneath my horrid nails and rinsed them, I …show more content…
We were in fact, sitting in the local nail salon, being treated heavenly. Obviously, she knew, so did my other two cousins and aunt. We were all kicked back in the salon’s wonderful massage chairs, and enjoyed our mani-pedis. Once, we all were done and joyful with our foot results, I paid for five people including myself and in the end I had $349.4. I was completely content with the amount I still had because it was more than what I had just a few hours ago. All I could think about doing next was treating myself , so I went to a hair salon. I walked out the hair salon with a nice brown mane and a luxurious flip of straight hair. Along with the $95.15 deficit, I remained tranquil; the amount I was left with was $254.25. It was then that I noticed I could spend it wisely, the feeling I had was unbearable. It was time to help another person, it was time to graciously pay away the pain of this

    Inside America's Most Dangerous Year Round Job It was just before 9:00 on a rainy Autumn morning as I drove up the muddy gravel drive of Baker Logging on the outskirts of Manchester, Tennessee. The outside of the green metal building appeared fairly new, as I walked in, I noticed the smell of lumber faded to a mixture of grease and pumpkin spice candles. It was almost as chilly inside as it was outside, only dry. The desk was full of paperwork and behind it sat Mr.Baker. He appeared almost as I had pictured him, only cleaner.…

    A series of small waves pressed the sail boat against the alge dock as his cold and cracked hands desperately yanked on the rope in an effort to raise the sails. Dark clouds had moved in the night before and had stayed overnight providing a refreshing sprinkle of rain every now and then. He looked out over the vast plain of unsettled water and saw one individual white cap rise up among the rest only to be pushed back down. Due to the lack of sunlight the frigid water appeared black and lifeless but he knew that below it was a complex community of different species. He then bent over the side of the boat and reached for its securing ropes.…

    When reading The Everyday Writer, written by Andrea A. Lunsford, director of the program in writing and rhetoric at Stanford University, I realized the importance of revising and reviewing of writing. Learning the process of writing will help greatly; therefore, assignments in the future will be more advanced and proper. In fact, peer editing is a fantastic strategy for the perfect paper; sometimes when one edits their own work they might overlook a few things, having someone else edit the paper gives another perspective to the writing. Being open to another opinion and attaining other opinions can open the mind to improve the writing. Seaman High School, where I attend, offers the Writing Center, ran by students and staff is to help improve…
