Fierce Foliage Never Again!
So I got a job and I 've been saving up for a while so that I can buy a car. I got a job at Sam Levitz, the one buy our school which shares the same parking lot with I Hop. So I saved up around 1,000 dollars and one day after I had gotten my hair retwisted by my sister she was taking me home. As we were leaving her house I asked her about her old car because she had told me before that she was going to sell it for 1,000. It never clicked in my mind that I should buy the car from her. I guess I felt kind of weird that I would be buying it from her when my older brother was looking for a car for 1,000 also and he also needed a way to get around. I guess I felt like he needed it more than I did. But then of course he

And at that time my back wheels where already over that little slanted lip that separates the road and the sidewalk. O then once I got my hands situated I took my foot off the break but the car wouldn’t move so I was like alright, I need some gas. So I was trying to do that slowly and it was working gout so far I started to move up. I wanted to be extremely careful though because my room is right in front of the house where I park the car. And it being a new car and all I haven 't really gotten a great feel for how it controls and how much room it takes up. So by then, after my hand slipping to had completely forgotten about which way the wheel was turned. I saw how crooked I was and I when forward to straighten it out and when started to move out into the road again my right side view mirror bends inward toward the car.

    A Taste of Domesticity in Stokes State Forest Throughout my four years of high school, I had never had a friend come back from a post-prom weekend in Wildwood and describe to me what sounded like a “good time.” The stories they told always had the same synopsis that centered around drunken fun and even drunker stupidity. Hordes of juniors and seniors slept in small dirty motel rooms. They spent way too much money on alcohol, and they often got swindled into paying hundreds of dollars to stay in an otherwise dirt cheap motel because no decent place would allow teenagers to party like they did. They sat in their hotel rooms and drank the beautiful New Jersey beach days away, waiting for the sun to set so they could continue their drunken…

    Boom! My head jolted forward as my neck sprung toward the steering wheel, but prior to hitting the wheel, my neck rebounded back. The right, front turn signal launched from its socket, rapidly coming back down to land on the hood of the car. After hitting the gray sedan with the front of my car, we both came to a stop to survey the damage and approach each other.…

    My autobiography could easily turn into the most banal, quintessential story of the “small town, big dreams” variety— so I try to steer clear of that, but I will make no such promises. Though, small town summarizes Crossville pretty well, or it did at some point. It has since sprung up to quite a busy place, at least for Tennessee, but the Crossville I grew up in was like the typical small town from some sort of movie from the eighties. It was all gossip about who was marrying who and who had stopped going to church and who had started going to church and who had gotten who pregnant— not to mention that everyone knew everyone. My parents, Abby and Patrick, had been married for several years and had already had my sister, Morgan, when I came along.…

    Leaves and twigs crunch with each step against the hard, gravel floor. Tall, sturdy trees towered along either sides of the path, the canopies forming a gentle arc, almost as though they were cradling me. A very slight breeze whisks through, a few branches swaying to the melody of the wind. The humidity would be unbearable, if not for the occasional whiff of wind that caresses my skin.…

    Gardening was a ‘forced’ hobby for a good portion of my childhood. Since elementary school, I worked with my dad in our back yard; I would dig holes, carry bags of manure, and plant flowers and trees. I complained that it would be easier to go to the store and buy a bag of blackberries instead of toiling in the sun for hours to achieve the same thing. I never imagined that I’d end up gardening for fun. Every year, my brother and I would collect the fruits of our labor; every year, I’d appreciate my efforts more and more.…
