Twenty-five minutes later, I arrive at my home the cab parks in the driveway of my house. “Welcome home, maim. Thanks for choosing Yellow Cab,” He says, boastfully.

State it more clearly.)This is when Cassie decides to help T.J. after all he had done; I believe that she was admirable for everything that she did but this was about friendship and kindness and those are really admirable things. Cassie had trouble in her life, being black, but she stayed strong and held on to what meant most, her feelings.…

    During April of 2015, I stepped out of the car and onto the beach for the first time in Destin, Florida; the salty sea stung my nose as I breathed in a refreshing breath of briny air. The first step onto the sand was like a bed of blankets; soft and comfortable. The way the white sand glided onto my feet and squished between my toes felt like heaven.

As I hopped on my bike and before riding off I took a drink of water and made sure I had my phone.…
