One day I was in school and suddenly I was called out of class to head to the office. At first I was hesitating because I usually know when I will be called to the office. Now, I was only in third grade so the excitement and the adrenaline I had rushing through my body was kind of freaking me out. When I was told to go to the office, of course my friends had to be like, “OOOOh, Tyler’s in trouble!!” That made my heart race even faster than a bullet! Walking across the courtyard was scary it was so quiet. It almost seemed like I was in a graveyard from the low overhanging clouds and dark weather. I scurried to the office as quickly as I could. When I opened the seemingly gigantic door, I rustled my way in and saw my brother, chaotically waiting. …show more content…
We were dancing and just having a good ol’ time. As soon as we were on the road, I asked if I could play some music. They said of course and let me choose. Since I am the oldest I got to choose first. My brother, being the brat he is, started whining at my music choice. He likes R&B, lovey-dovey music, while I am over here listening to Warren G and Snoop Dogg. I listen to all sorts of music, but rap is what I have been listening to my whole life. My brother and I are totally different musically. As an example, he plays the clarinet while I play the trumpet. We finally decided that I would get to choose the music halfway there and he would get to choose the other …show more content…
My brother pointed out that we could see the ocean from our temporary home. We raced over to the fence on top of the cliff we were placed on and looked out to see the endless view of the ocean. It was beautiful. The beautiful sun was setting on top of the ocean with the prettiest shade of orange, it was kind of like mango color in the sky. I was just so joyed. My brother and I both pleaded for our parents to let us see the ocean that night. They agreed and we walked down there. We were only a few blocks from the ocean. Our family made it to the beach and the feeling that the sand gave my little toes was outstanding. I could have stayed there forever without ever going to the ocean. After I had my few moments of pure joy in the sand, I saw my brother playing in the ocean without me. I took off my shirt and sandals and ran over and joined in the fun. We splashed each other with the salty water and played for a few more minutes before it was time to leave. We went home and rested our eyes for the night.
The next morning, Caleb and I awoke with the most excitement ever. Since I was the designated cereal-maker, I got to choose what cereal we got to eat. I choose Frosted Flakes because I love putting a little extra sugar on top of the already sugary meal. My brother didn’t fuss about it and we ate in peace while watching the brand new episode of Dragon Ball Z. My parents woke up a little after we had awoken and greeted us good morning. We were happy they had woken

I hung out with his friends, played sports with him, and after a while I started acting like him.

    The Last Ride Gidal awoke from his short-lived rest, his eyelids - peeled apart to reveal a scene that was none too familiar to him. He had been on the same train for three days, the sound of train wheels clanging was just white-noise. The outside world, only visible through small cracks in the wooden carriage. He was a Jew, like the other seventy who had been herded carelessly into cattle cars, treated as if they were animals – pests. He went to peer out one of the small cracks, pushing his way through the thick sea of hushed murmuring and melancholy faces.…

    If you were to ask me about my high school writing experience, I would tell you that I did not have much experience. We did not have any classes at my school that were specifically writing classes. At my high school, we just had regular English classes where we would occasionally do a few papers in. My English teacher senior year was a great person, but did not necessarily teach us a lot about proper styles of writing papers. Coming into college English, I did not feel well prepared with what to expect for a college level writing class.…
