I knew Red Lobster was a bad option. I wanted to go to Outback Steakhouse, but mom had her way, even on MY high school graduation. I was stuck, sitting in the booth, waitress staring at me for 15, 16, 17 seconds now. Sitting in my cap and gown, she asked again – “where are you going to college?” I’d prefer the Bloomin’ Onion to this any day of the week.…

Marine Science has always been a particularly fond past time of mine. Ever since I was the mere age of three, while sitting in a bathtub, I had an inseparable fascination with the ocean and the creatures that inhabit it. From the otherworldly giant tube worms situated on volcanic vents, to the serene basking shark meandering through the current, all of it showcased the diversity of the world beneath the surface of the waves.…
“Put some meaning into your words,” said my chorus teacher as apathetic faces and idle mouths stare back at him“ A folk song of this magnitude should not be sung with such a light heart”. My ears tune into the dissonant voices surrounding me slowing interpreting the lack of passion already evident to my teacher. Subconsciously, my eyes and head slowly move downwards trying to shield themselves from the wave of indifference flooding my class. As I open my eyes, I am met with the gaze of the words boldly printed on my sheet of music - Wade in the Water. My thoughts are delayed as the urgent words capture my attention only to be interrupted by a piece of my reality.…
I took a moment to think about what I have always wanted to be when I was in my younger years. The answer was simple, a Marine Biologist. That was the quickest and easiest career choice I picked that I wanted to learn more about because I have always had an interest in that particular occupation. Throughout my whole life, I have always told people that I wanted to move to the coast and be a Marine Biologist. I absolutely love spending time with animals, particularly marine animals.…
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.…
Parents! The most confusing species on the planet! Have you ever just wanted to ask your parents something and all you want them to say was yes and not to say anything else. Not to mention that is all I wanted them to say, when I asked if I could go on the wave runner all by myself.…
How would it feel to love your job so much that you could not wait to go? That is what I am looking for in a job I spends most of my time outside ether working or playing sports. I live on a 51 acer farm so there is plenty of space to run. Do to my personality I chose two careers that would allow me to be outside doing the things that I love. While both Wildlife biologist and Arborists are similar in their environment and education , they differ in the pay.…

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.…
My experience with the after school book club at Madison Elementary today was an exciting yet my patience was tested by a seven year old little boy named Jose. Today I was excited to see if my group would enjoy the book, “Where the Wild Things Are,” due to the fact everyone agreed they enjoy reading adventure books. Consequently, one of my group members, Jose, had already read the book and watched the movie and let the whole group know it was “boring.” Already bored he instantly lost interest in the book and the group and was making it known by distracting the other group members around him. Usually his partner in crime, Gilbert, agrees with him and goes along with him but this time was different and he ignored his friend because he was actually…
I didn't just have one world growing up, I had many. My family had to move several times because my father was in the military. I attended five different schools by the time I was in seventh grade. There were some downsides to moving around a lot, but I learned a lot from it. I was able to see people from all different walks of life and made friends with all kinds of different people.…
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” This is a question everyone is asked by teachers, parents, and even strangers, from the time they are young and just learning to read. Most kids tend to say they want to become an astronaut or a professional athlete. But for me, I was on the complete other end of the spectrum. Instead of shooting for the stars, I aspired for ground level and always said I wanted to become a professional dog walker.…
Dad was getting the boat loaded, mom was packing all the bags, Tucker and I were just waking up and getting dressed, and it is 4:30 in the morning. All these things are done to get ready to load up in the truck and drive to Little Gasparilla for a day of fishing. A day of fishing to get us away from our hectic life and to relax. Little did we know that patience was going to be needed that day. We were packing everything in a zombie-like state, still half asleep and groggy because it was so early.…
