Once we were all dressed up and ready to go we headed towards my aunts house. Once we got there and opened my aunt's front door you could feel your nose get filled up with all sorts of tasty food, the smell of whatever was in there was amazing. When we went in and settled down we waited for the rest to arrive. After a couple hours everyone…
Miromar Lakes located in Fort Myers, Florida, it was voted the number one gated community in America! That’s where I stayed over my spring break! My aunt lives in the community, so we stayed with her. While we were there we did some amazing things. One of the activities we did was parasailing.…
Don't remember his name. But he explained to me the background behind the competition. And that Fire Grill did this competition for awareness of healthy eating. He was hilarious, lots of jokes. He tired to kinda of convert me to the Fire Grill side, with his branding Jedi mind tricks.…
My event was when a mower caught fire while I was mowing. I was working on a friends farm mowing when the motor was suddenly in flames. I Immediately jumped off and ran to get my brother who was cleaning the barnyard. My Mom had left for a walk so we called her to tell her the mower was on fire.…
The grilled cheese sandwich is a classic American food for children and adults alike. It is simple and quick to make. All that is required is a few slices of bread, cheese, butter, and a pan to cook in. When I was young and had just gotten off the bus after school, I would rush to the kitchen and ask my mom to make me one of these gooey treats. Fresh out of the pan and dripping with cheese (sight), I would irrepressibly shove the steaming sandwich into my mouth often burning my tongue (touch).…
The best lunch I ever had was at Le’Grill with some of my closest friends. We got to go off on our own and have lunch wherever we wanted for one hour, Renbrook gave us more freedom than they ever had before. We chose to go here because it was in a beautiful part of the city. Old Quebec City amazing architecture, the buildings made you feel like you were somewhere special. The streets were mainly stone like Venice Italy.…
I work for my dad on our family ranch in Jones Creek, Texas. The work is hard, backbreaking, and tiring. Everyday when I get home I eat the meal that my momma makes for us: there is no arguing whether or not that is what you are having for supper. Every night I get in bed completely wore out from a hard days work, then I wake up to do it all again in the morning. This job is not for everyone, however it is for me.…

The aroma of uncertainty surrounded the paramedics in the helicopter. The twenty-minute ride felt like a lifetime and in that lifetime it had me wondering about how this happened. How could I let this happen? It all started one weekend when I went camping for three days with my best friends, Michael and Carrie. Our youth group took us on a trip so we could strengthen our friendships and connect with new friends.…
In third grade, a boy named Blake - a notorious troublemaker - would chase every girl during class trying to kiss her on the lips. Most of the girls gave in eventually. It was easier to give in than to keep running. When it was my day to be chased, I turned to him, grabbed his glasses off his pudgy face, and stomped on them in front of all the kids on the blacktop. He ran to the principal's office and cried.…
Jackie Robinson once said “I’m not concerned with your liking or disliking me… all I ask is that you respect me as a human being.” This was my motto as i moved to the USA from Egypt at the age of six years old. Although i was not as old as i am now it was still tough. Thanks to determination and persistence i was able to not only make it in school but understand the language and speak it. It had been a year after my brother was born, i had made a lot of friends in kindergarten, had my dad’s side of the family here, i had finally learned to read and write a little bit of Arabic, and was about to go to first grade.…
Imagine a cool, crisp, January morning waking up at my best friend’s house, I found myself tired. Knowing the events I would face today I would have needed a lot more energy than I had. Regretting that I’d stayed up all night, I got a shower then continued to get warm clothes on. As my dad pulled up my friend, Sydney, and I jumped in the car. Heading to the skating rink in Hohenwald, I was excited.…
It was the last day of summer before my Junior year of high school. Belive it or not, I was actually quite excited to start school. This summer had been pretty sucessful, considering I had been all over the place. Mexico, the west coast, etc. Also during this summer, I had broken up with my boyfriend, (a complete train wreck, that's completely unnecessary to get into.)…
I’m early for work so I sit in the food court and patiently wait for my time to clock in. I look up from my phone and see my district manager walking towards my direction. I start to wonder what I did wrong. Am I late…
