It is not just a yard. It is like an extended living room” (228). Even though the yard may not be much, the mother sees it as an extension of her house and she loves it. With the house being confining and having stale air, the yard has freedom and can be controlled to suit her needs. The mother pays more attention to the yard rather than the house in preparation for Dee’s arrival, showing how much…
Disappointed, disbelief and fear filled my mind as I sat there between the shattered windshield and my steering wheel. I couldn’t stop thinking about what just happened, what did I just do, and did this really just happen to me? My lungs began to tighten up as I began to cry out of fear. Knowing that my parents were back in Arizona and I was there all alone with no family.…
My marble (at 0 meters) was experiencing no motion. Then, as soon as a force was acting upon it to move the marble, it started to move very fast past 0.5 meters. Then, from 0.5 meters to 1.0 meter, the marble was moving almost as fast as it was in the beginning, but losing a little bit of its overall speed. Then, from 1.0 to 1.5 meters, the marble was slowing down a little bit, so it wasn't as fast as before. Then, from 1.5 meters to 2.0 meters, the marble was experiencing an obvious change in speed, and was slowing down much faster than before.…
Down stories, in the bottom of the valley, it was more mud than ever because of all the rain that had flowed down from the steep inclines it had just sat at the bottom. We had a plan to tie a rope to a tree and chuck it over the house so that we would not fall off the house when we were putting the tin on it. Through the process of doing so we had one person fall off, luckily he landed on his feet. That hole da was just an absolute mess but thankfully it was the last day…
Udit Jain AP English Composition Period 4 Mrs. Moyer Vanquishing a Mountain I woke up early that Sunday morning and made a solid cup of Starbuck’s French Roast. Typically, I’d put two spoons of beans in, but that day I added an extra scoop, reckoning that the additional caffeine would assist me in the event that was going to unfold. I glimpsed over at the shut shades to see the sun’s rays sifting through. With my hot cup of coffee in grip, I trudged across the living room floor towards the window.…

I messed up like big time. I was nine years old I didn't realize what I had done until it happened. Regret and sadness soon followed after. You know the saying “that sometimes it is best to keep some things to yourself” well it was true here. I woke up with the sun blinding my already weakened eyes.…
There was a lake right next to the rock face and it was very windy so my voice was not heard. I decided I may as well keep trying to go higher. After a few minutes I had a breakthrough and was able to continue my ascent. However, I eventually came to a standstill yet again. Although this time I decided I would not give up so easily.…
I was born into a normal and quiet family like many other people are born into normal family with a loving mother and mature father but there are still many differences between me and many other kid my age one of the major differences is that both my parents are professional musicians that were both good Christians people (My mother is a Baptist and my father is a Pentecostal ) they were very good people but they had very high expectations for me and many of them I could not meet and for this reason I was a great embarrassment to them much of the time but there was a good reason most of the time I was a heathen so to speak when was 5 years old I stole 150 dollars from my grandfather and he beat me till he had a stroke and died right then and there because he could not take the excitement of beating a 5 year old for 1 minutes straight and for this reason my mother blames me for…
Usually after this was done, we would quietly walk in a single file line down the hallway to the playground. That day, however, it was different. When I opened my eyes, instead of an orderly line of kindergartners, there was one little boy chaotically jumping up and down. As red in the face as a tomato, he seemed to be getting antsier by the second. “Teacher!…
Growing up I was always afraid of saying the wrong thing, this often times would lead me to instead not say anything. I always thought this was better than saying the wrong thing, up until I was 16 years old and found out the opposite to be true. As a 16 year old girl as you could imagine I wasn’t the happiest person in the world, there were a lot of days when depression clouded my thoughts and that ended up being the only thing that would even be a thought in my head. This would be one of those days, I had just gotten close to my new best friend, Megan.…
It was a golden sunlit day apparently with a shower of pillows. I woke up to pillows nudging me to get out of bed as Cameron threw them. “Get up, get up, get up!” he yelled impatiently. He threw those pillows like he was in the MLB.…
I have to say the last two weekends I have "ah ha" moments on the street and the track. June 18th, the group I ride with rode up through the mountains in Highlands, NC. We always have a fast group and a slow group. I rode with the slow group just to take it easy. After a couple of turns I safely passed some riders and then started to trail brake.…

When I was about 22 years old I got my first real job selling cellular phones. My family was thrilled with the idea since most of high school was spent on the phone. What I didn’t understand was the seriousness of the rules when it comes to attendance and management was serious. While the job seemed fun and everyone had a great time there were definitely rules to follow.…
