Other activities this summer included a new-found sport, competitive mounted orienteering. It’s a treasure hunt on horseback. The idea is to use clues and compasses to find designated objects the fastest. Dave and I aren’t fast, but we had fun doing this a couple times. We also took a trip with the horses down to see my Mom on the farm. We had fun riding the horses around in the pastures. Recently, Dave rolled our truck and totaled. We will need to get a replacement before we can do more travelling with the horses. Again, Dave was fortunate and had no injuries.
A lot of my time this summer was spend gardening. I love growing flowers and veggies. The county fair was a big deal for me. I entered lots of my produce and flowers, as

    As far back as I can remember, my family and I have been going to Six Flags. It used to be the perfect place for schools to hold their picnics. Me and my younger sister would wait all year for this. As soon as the school would send out the letter, the pestering would begin. When I was younger, it was the most amazing thing that would happen all year, but as I got older it became something more than I ever imagined it to be.…

    We got to meet and talk to the pros after the race which was really, really cool when we were seven years old. I learned a lot from this experience in general. I learned that to get to a goal you set, you have to work very hard and put in a lot of hours to do so. I was proud of myself after this and I really enjoyed it. Not a whole lot of kids can look back in their early in their childhoods and have this significant of an experience.…

    For starters, I would not sit and hide; I would get together a group of people with a variety of skills, like electronics, survival, etc. I would lead my group out of my school and bring them to some sort of nearby safe haven; not a store, or anything of the likes, since most people will be rushing them. The best place for us to go would be some form of neighborhood that can be easily roadblocked. Everyone knows that supplies are necessary in a zombie-infested world.…

    Long hours, close bonds and rigorous intellectual challenges. That is how I would describe the summer I spent as an apprentice at a local mechanic shop near my house. Each client’s car was like a puzzle needing to be deciphered, a mystery wanting to be solved. Critical thinking, pattern recognition and good old elbow grease were keys to a job well done. At the time, I had just been accepted to transfer to UT Austin and was still unsure of the profession I would pursue.…

    What I did This Summer This summer I did a lot of things, I traveled, went zip lining, and most importantly I spent time with family. This is probably one of the best summers I have ever had because my mom took off work to be with me and my brothers. Usually my dad stays home and he really isn't that fun. On the other half I got to go to my Dad's house because the way it goes for summers for me is that I have to do. The best thing I had to do all summer is I went to Alabama with my aunt and my grandma.…

Through the ups and downs in life, the twists and turns certain things will remain steady. Friends may not always be around, family may not always be around, but occasionally there will be someone who sticks around no matter what. I found out throughout my life that change is inevitable, and life is full of uncertainties. Think of all the changes that have happened in life and the people who were there through all…
