It was a nice, sunny but cool morning at Marion Reservoir. I got out of the tent and made a fire so my dad could cook breakfast when he woke up. The birds and squirrels were chirping, my dad came out of the tent and went over by the fire and asked me what I wanted for breakfast I said “bacon.” So he went to the cooler to get the bacon.…
Sometimes in life, one has to take chances. I was not sure of that until I strapped myself down in the scariest rollercoaster at Six Flags Fiesta amusement park. My heart was running a marathon as the ride climbed to the peak. My sweaty palms were glued on the back of a passenger’s headrest. My life was depending on it.…
Camp is place unlike any other. It is a place that people’s wall begin to fall down and new relationships are formed. This is bound to happen when you drop 200 teenagers in the middle of the Smoky Mountains without any of their electronics. I was lucky enough to be chosen for the Project Serve team and got to see camp from a new perspective. I got to be a part of all of the behind the scenes work, but also daily interactions with all of the campers due to my job at camp.…

“For the last time, go get some damn water.” That’s the first thing I hear when I wake back up. It’s Connor. I’m pretty sure his voice has been penetrating my dreams as well.…
The jump was so exhilarating and uplifting, it was the beginning of my inspiration . After I made the jump I sped back to my dad to tell him what I did. From that moment on, I knew that if I didn't live life to the fullest, my life wouldn't be as exciting as it could be. That was just the beginning of me trying new things. After that I tried new things all of the time.…

I didn’t understand at the time what was going on. What the hustle was, why we were moving houses or who those people were. When we were leaving the train ride, as I remember wasn’t that great either. It was crowded and smelled bad, and you could hardly move. I clung to my mom the whole time.…

When I get to college, I want to make the college swim team, just like Christina. I was ecstatic because I was barely able to convince Christina to come with me.…
I like swimming, I always do. My peacefulness translates into the deep blue pool of water. It is not the deep blue in terms of sad emotions, much emphasis underlies below the water. Your body feel free, diving in the water resonated by the amplification of your waves from every stroke you have made. Being calm and relax are the key of essentials in swimming, to stay afloat as well as to be efficient in the water without a judder of tiredness.…
It was a bright, hot, and sunny July Saturday morning and me and my family is getting ready for our family trip that we have been planning for at least two months, just to have a good time or so we thought. But we never thought that it would be a fun trip that will be turned into a shark festvle. Right now it is 9:30 in the morning and everyone is loading up their cars, and that is half of my mother's side and half of my father's side of the family, including cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmothers, grandfathers, and other family members, oh yeah, and how could I forget my main seven best friends, Lanae, Faith, Aamani, Kristen, Samantha, D'Terryuna, and Jackie. After I sat down beside Samantha, and my Mother made sure everyone was ready to go…
