My Magnet for Miracles
It was 9 o’clock and my sister and I were doing our nightly ritual of brushing our teeth, washing our faces, and making funny faces in the bathroom mirror. As the younger sister, I would do anything to make my sister laugh. I would stretch my face in the most impressive ways and pull the weirdest faces you can possibly imagine in the bathroom mirror. After my face could not move anymore without hurting, we’d go to our bedroom that we shared for 7 years. Kelsey, my sister, got out her yearbooks and said “Cami, come over here,” and of course, being my boy crazy self said, “Oooh, let’s pick out the cutest boys.” I would talk and talk and talk all night if she let me, eventually she would say nothing back and that’s how

I said goodbye before I left for school and it hadn’t yet hit me that it was the last time I was going to see my sister for a while. So I went to school and didn’t even think at all about her leaving. I went to track practice as usual and when I got home, there was no sister. No sister to be seen, heard, or to yell at. I walked into my room to find a bouquet of daisies in every color of the rainbow with a note that read, “You’re my best friend that I just can’t get rid of, I’ll alway be here when you need me.” I cried until I fell asleep and didn’t awake till my mom said it was time for dinner. “Cam, can you please set the table?” asked my mother as she pulled the baked potatoes out of the oven. I groaned and went to the cabinet and grabbed 5 plates, 5 cups, and 5 forks. From there I set the table and didn’t even think til my mom called everyone in for dinner. Everyone noticed the extra place setting but no one said anything. It was a quiet dinner without my sisters squeaky ridiculous voice to fill the still air.

    When I was young, my sister and I never got along well. Neither of us were afraid to voice our thoughts, but we had opposite personalities, so that was an enormous complication. She would constantly whine whenever I practice the violin or piano that I was too loud and it was drowning out the music she was listening to. In return, I would always retort that her music was too loud and distracting. Well, I never actually called it “her music”: I referred to it as “garbage”.…

    The Jump Five minutes was all it took to walk up the stairs to the top of the cave. Through the entirety of the walk I debated with myself; I wondered, if I should take the jump or if I should let fear take over, once again. The jump site was astounding. It was beautiful in every single way; it was bright and exuberant with colorful trees; which, I could not fathom how they had not fallen into the abyss. It was also beautifully dangerous with dark, sharp rocks hovering over foreign waters.…

    The word thrive can be represented in different ways from person to person. However, according to its definition: to thrive means to grow or to develop well, which is often associated with the physical growing of a plant or animal. Nature can thrive even after a horrible fire and rebuild what was once destroyed. This is a more obvious example of what it could mean to “thrive”.

She was still my mom and I trusted her and loved her, but that all changed in the summer of 2006 when my parents divorced and she remarried.…
