Florida is a land of sun palm trees and sand. Florida being a southern state with sweet tea, Publix, and Disney just a few hours away, had many perks. I had never thought of what it might be like to grow up in a northern area, or just even outside of Florida. Up until my 14th summer I had always assumed everyone lived the same way I did. It had all started when I got accepted to a summer program in Washington D.C to attend a medical forum.…
I went to the Gulf Shores, Alabama last year. I ran into a man while having been walking on a port who asked me to take a photo of his him and his family. I could have taken his phone and ran away. I could have made $400 dollars by selling it. I could have thrown the phone into the ocean.…
In the documentary, Ric O'Barry remarked that dolphins are extremely sensitive to sounds and, “you realize after a while they don't really belong in captivity”. People do not acknowledge this because superficially, dolphins always put up a smile. Over time, it generates a semblance that they are always blissful. But Ric O’Barry could always see straight through the dolphin’s feeble deception of gaiety. He could always see just how downtrodden, despondent they truly are.…
It was 11:00 p.m. in Panama, Florida. Me and my friends Palo and Misty went out surfing because we couldn’t sleep. All of a sudden we hear the clouds starting to rumble. The waves were crashing into each other. My board started to shake then all of a sudden we heard a “BOOM” thunder and lightning came.…
As I lay on Alyssa’s sofa my eyes wonder around the room. My eyes suddenly focus on the vivid red lifeguard hoodie, swinging swiftly. It was welcoming my memories to flow back into my mind. My heart leaps as I break out in laughter, while trying to resist. Now I am forced to let all of the good memories fall into place as I glance at the red lifeguard hoodie.…
Often times we talk to individuals about their favorite vacation spot or where the place they feel the most at rest is; the response we get most often is the ocean. This is because the ocean is restorative. The quiet roar of the waves, the sound of seagulls chirping, the salty breeze, the ocean is a place of peace. For many the sea is not just a vacation destination, but the sea is a friend. Something that is consistent, and always listening.…
Personal Narrative The roaring off the engines became louder and louder, the fresh smell of tar wafted by my nose, Just as I was about to start the next lap, I see the orange cones right in front of me. I suddenly panic and just then I, well let me start from the beginning. It was a nice, hot, humid day in Myrtle Beach.…
Leaving all my belongings behind, I head straight to the sea and paddle for the giant’s causeway where the waves looked clean. I become in an intense combined state of euphoria, peace, presence and excitement; it’s kind of like time ceases. Paddling out wasn’t as hard as I thought. But before I get to too relaxed, a large set breaks on the shallow sand bank. I was just caught on the inside.…

My Trip to Florida Last summer my family and I went to Florida. First when we started to pack, everything popped out of the bag. Since that didn’t work we decided to pack our own bag, this way we had extra space to pack our toys. When we went to the airport it was amazing!…
Florida During summer vacation, in the year 2011 my family and I went on a trip to Florida to meet up with some of our relatives. This was my first time ever going to Florida and I was really excited to go. But one of us had to stay home and take care of our pets, so my dad stayed home to take care of them. It took about half a day for us to get ready to go and like 4 or 5 hours until we were out of Michigan. My brothers and I would stay up all night to see how cool the city looked at night.…
Over the summer I went on a great vacation with my family. My entire family flew from Denver to Florida. We took a cruise from Florida to the Bahamas and back to Florida again.

My second short story of the collection dives into a description of beach storm. Titled, “Untouched land”, it opens with the “Wind howling as the sand bombarded my face.” This immediate picture places the reader on the edge, as the future storm looms. This story recounts a storm my family and I experienced which vacationing at the beach. Through the strong, bold start of this piece I took some risk as a writer.…
Everyone’s gone on some sort of trip. Whether it be somewhere local or a complete different country, they have one thing in common, the people. Recently I took a trip to Florida and I realized although we were in the same location the people around me were not having the same experiences. Different people go different places for different reasons. There’s the tourist who sticks to the well beaten path and doesn’t like to be outside of their comfort zone.…
