The Trampoline It was September 2005, I just woke up and we just got a new trampoline. I was so excited to go play on it, but I had school for just about two days until the weekend. Once the weekend came we all played on the trampoline, and when I say all I mean my brother and six to seven other friends. A few weeks after we bought it one of my friends little brother wanted to play on the trampoline, so I said sure go ahead.…
In 2011 my family and I took a trip out West in an RV. My family consists of my parents, older brother Patrick ( now a sophomore at Madison), younger brother Declan ( now a sophomore at MUHS), and my younger sister Nora ( now in 8th grade). We were all there for this trip just younger. On our trip one of the main attractions we stopped at for a few days was at the Grand Teton National Park in Jackson Hole Wyoming. The Tetons are a mountain range of the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming.…
This past summer, I underwent many swim tests and was finally offered a lifeguarding position at a local town beach and waterpark. I eagerly accepted the offer and was excited to start. When I arrived on my first day, I was informed that there had not been a save in our shallow water facility for the past nine years. But, that nine year save streak ended this summer. A coworker noticed that a man had went underwater and quickly blew a whistle to inform everyone at our facility that there was an emergency.…
As I said “goodbye” to Johns Creek, I began venturing on a new journey. I would have slept on the long 8-hour expedition if not for the spectacular books that we had brought on the trip. As I grabbed the first book, it was like winning the best of the best. The book could keep someone busy for an entire 3 hours. The experience was as if the book was talking to me.…
I finished getting all the stuff in the car. Then i went to put the boat on the truck. The day was every hot and sunny i noted that everyone was outside playing and all the girls where in tank tops and booty shorts.i waited for my brother and dad to get in the car. When they got in the truck we left and headed to a place called jackson. On the way there i saw the ocean beautiful water and waves.…
I remembered, first time I tried to learn how to swim with my friend. I was at my friend’s house. We ate delicious pizza together. She wanted to go to the swimming pool at her house, but she knew I was scared of the water. So, she was going to teach me how to swim.…
This warm Friday afternoon, I was outside with my brother and my brother and I were flipping on the trampoline. My brother “JJ” told me to do a backflip and I said,” I can’t do a backflip but I will try” so when I got ready to flip I was shaking and screaming in my head because I was scared that I was going to break a bone or fly off the trampoline. JJ went in the house five minutes later and said, “If you don’t flip you not coming back on the house” and I said, “I have to go in the house so that I can practice on the bed”.…
It was nice cool night and I was going to talk to my parents about me doing swimming and diving this year. I asked my mom what things she did in diving. She said “We practiced are jumps and we learned how we are suppose to have our hands ,when diving”. I was talking to my parents ,and just the top of my head ,I remember.…
Car Surfing It was October 29, 2016, Saturday morning and the weather was like 79 degrees outside. I was inside doing my business when Ty Bailey shows up in his car, and I come out and decided to sit on the hood of his car. He told me to hold on and I did. Ty started to drive while I was sitting on the car, and I tried to reposition my hands.…
The crisp ripples of the water left my skin as I began to grow out of the water. The sun beat down on my eyes as a squinted trying to see. This last couple week of August I was spending time in South Carolina at my grandparent's house. We went there every year to see them and spend time with them on their lake.…
If we know so much about the earth, then why don’t we know much about what’s out there beyond the threshold we call a beach? Diving is a passion my dad wanted me to experience firsthand. I had always been fascinated by the parts of the world that have gone nearly untouched. I’m that one adrenaline junkie that you seem to always seem come across. It was spring break of 2015 when my dad had planned our trip to Bonaire, one of the top diving destinations in the world.…
The bravest I think I have ever been was when I jumped off the high dive. I thought I could hear my heart beating. The only reason I actually did it was because my brother told me just to look straight ahead, he said that it was his best friend’s house. I looked straight ahead there was a long row of houses and at my right was a small play ground yellow and a tall basketball hoop.…
My previous camping trips I have taken in the past years have been memorable and full of hardship. I consider myself a very outgoing and adventurous person, that is why I go on crazy trips. Canoeing is my preferred way of traveling when touring lakes and rivers such as the Boundary waters and the Flambeau river. Major disadvantage of canoes is that they weigh up to 85 pounds. The weight matters being when crossing land to get to the next lake the canoe goes on your shoulders to carry it.…
Do you have a favorite place? I know I have a favorite place it is SeaWorld because people are so joyful there and it is a really pleasant place to go to if you need to go on a vacation this spring break or this summer. Now I will be talking about their activities there what you could do there when you go there you want to. I would also talk about the appearance like how it looks and more. Mostly but not least I will be talking about their food like what they eat in Florida or do they eat the same food like we already do now.…
In 2004 my family and I made our first trip to the beach. The adventure seemed to take a lifetime to reach our destination. Being in the car for 12 hours is not what any child would call a fun time. My brother and I would play video games and watch movies to past the time away and eat the snacks mom would pack us.…
