Fat Faour was an exclusive group and no one else would ever be welcomed in. “Come on mom, there is nothing wrong with private lessons, why do we have to do public ski school?” “It is cheaper to have all you and your cousins do ski school than private lessons, plus you get to meet some new people.” New people meant letting them hangout out with us, which meant letting people join the Fat Four, which meant tearing down the cloud of exclusiveness that made the Fat Four. “This could not happen” we all thought. “We have to find a way out of ski school.” …show more content…

Why can’t they hurry up evaluating people and get us an instructor so we can go skiing” Rosalina complained. “Calm down. At least we are the only ones in this class, who know we could end up having the lesson all to ourselves” I exclaimed. We watched the last few people get evaluated and assigned to different groups. “Ok guys this is it. One more person and then we can go skiing as our own group” Nora announced. We watch the last boy get evaluated, when he was done he started walking in our direction to join our

    As human beings we inherently fear change, especially those of us with social shortcomings, who prefer routine schedules to overwhelmingly new experiences and unpredictability. Such was the case for me. My family moved when I was just turning three years old to Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, a small town of about 8,000 people, located about thirty miles from Madison.

It is a fine place to raise a family, but as I got older, I realized that I no longer felt welcomed and sheltered by the small and tightly-knit community, but rather I felt trapped, paralyzed by the limitations of a suffocating town.…

    The thought of accidentally dropping my poles enters my mind as I observe lost items in the snow below. As we ascend, more of the slope enters my field of vision. At first, the skiers and snowboarders in my view move at a leisurely pace as they reach the bottom; but as altitude increases, so does the skill and speed of the people coming down. The added elevation diminishes the number of trees providing protection from the bitter wind that starts hitting us like pins and needles. I pull my bandanna up and fit my goggles to the shape of my helmet, in an attempt to block out the frigid breeze.…
