The boy was more focused on keeping the fish on the line. He made sure to stay away from rocks, and weeds. When they got close to where the band was performing he decided to cut the string. The biggest fish he had ever laid his eyes on swam away. At the concert he did not remember much, although he did remember dancing with Shelia a couple of times.…
The Hunted I didn’t know who I was. I woke up next to a bunch of muddy kids. They all smelled like they haven't showered in weeks. There was two twins, a chubby kid, and probably the skinniest kid I’ve ever seen. Then I realized I smelled just like them.…

My father sitting at my right side, dozing, his head bobbing every once in awhile. I hear the faint noise of something crunching and look above me to see a squirrel perched on a small branch. I smile and nod my head letting out a faint chuckle.…

It was a mild, dark summer day in the Alaskan wilderness so I was out hunting with one of my buddies, Alex Smith. Me and and Alex first met in 5th grade, we’ve been close friends ever since. I had a Beretta Ballista that shoots a .308 Lapua Magnum so I could shoot long distances and Alex had a AR-15 that shoots a 5.56*.39. I was in the deep woods in a treestand and Alex was just about 20 yards away in a ground blind. I saw some movement in the distance but it was very dark at night with no moon…
I live and breathe running. I dont go a day not thinking or talking about it. For the past 6 years I have been fully dedicated to this sport and now running has grown from a side activity to a passion. I got involved with running on accident.

With everything going on I forgot that still, no one said a word. The only people speaking were the people already in the OA.

Within no time, we were off to work on our tasks.…

Faith is the belief in something greater than us one can put full trust, confidence, and reliance on when difficult times arise. I was raised to be involved with church activities to maintain my spiritual life; additionally my faith grew dramatically when my cousin deceased and gave me an overview of what I wanted to pursue my career as. When I was a child, my parents encouraged me to always be as loving and caring as I could be, not for personal gain, but to be benevolent to the people around me. I was raised with two loving parents, Mario and Rebeca, along with a younger brother, Mario and older sister, Ana.…
Get Away As I stand at the bridge in Santa Monica overlooking the beach I take a deep sigh of relief that I’m back on the ground safe. The air was so summery it was refreshing to be in weather I can enjoy for a change. I have family that I look forward to seeing and spending time with. Making unforgettable memories in adventurous unfamiliar places was always something I enjoyed since a child. It’s a wonderful feeling to travel and get away from everyday life.…
