Everyone has experienced some sort of atrocious pain in their lives. At one point in my life I did not believe I will ever walk again. A troubling life changing event occurred when I was just fourteen years old. Every evil thought was occurring in my head all at once. “You won’t walk anymore”, “You won’t heal”, “Time can’t change this”, all thoughts that were going through my mind while being in a wheelchair.…

Steady breaths. In and out. Feet in continuous circles, fingers gripped tight, head straight forward. A road stretching out to the horizon, endless, and the road behind, full of memories, pain, and the echoes of transformation. This was the event that marked my transition from childhood to adulthood: an eight-hundred mile journey, spanning four states and twenty-one days.…

We woke up on June 3rd and hit the road again. We were going to try and make it as far as we could today. We made plans to meet up with my dad, grandma, aunt, and brother in Minneapolis, or somewhere close to, for lunch. My dad had been in Minneapolis the previous days, and wanted to see me before I was gone. We met up at a restaurant called Doolittles.…
My vision started to fail on mile four of the six-mile hike. Small white specks flickered across my field of vision. The next thing to go was my hearing, followed by my ability to walk in a straight line. My platoon sergeant saw the signs of heat stroke and forced me to stop. I should have stopped myself, but all I could think was: you will finish this, or you will die trying.…
“Deeper Into my Life” Individuals are unique in their own ways and one of mine happens to be my name, Darrnyejah Bolds. Everywhere I go people have a hard time pronouncing it. Many people have given up and just refer to me as “Ms. Bolds,” but also I have two nicknames “Nye”, and “Nyejah,” which is mostly used by family and friends. Over the years, I have adjusted to my nicknames and became very comfortable with them. I entered this world on February 27, 1997 with the zodiac sign of Pisces.…
I am a Harley, I was thrown into a barn by my owner named Marley. I have dings, bangs, bullet wounds, busted gauge pipes and I make a loud noise because I hate being silent. I had a fun time with Marley riding down the streets. Splashing ourselves when we rode through the flooded gutters, we even got tattoos together.…
If you have never taught a little girl how to ride a bike, you might want to check the brakes first. This is going to be about the time I taught my sister how to ride a bike. On a warm summer day in July my sister was constantly asking if I would teach her how to ride a bike. I finally I decided to go outside and teach her how to ride her bike. She started off with teaching her how to balance.…
My horseback riding trainer, Amy Scarlett, was so happy and motivational all the time. I had just moved to her barn last year and it had been nothing but great ever since. She thought i needed more trust in my pony and confidence in myself as a rider. I went to Gwyn Meadows Farm since late 2015 and last summer i was riding and she thought I didn’t put enough trust into it. We were all out in the ring after we warmed up and Amy set up the jumps.…
Then all of a sudden I realized that I did not know how to stop, and I went crashing into a fence. Everyone came running down the street to see if I was hurt, but I did not pay much attention to the pain, I remember the feeling of finally learning how to ride a bike I was ecstatic! After month of watching everyone else enjoy the one thing I had hoped for, come true I was beside myself. I remember telling my grandmother to call my parents and let them know that I had finally learned how to ride a bicycle. The memory of when I learned how to ride a bike, is significant in my adult life and connects with my personality on the level of empathy, compassionate, and agility.…
I got my very first bike in the summer of 2009, when I was eight years old. After seeing so many kids ride their bikes, I figured it was my turn to shine at this. I felt like such a big girl, all grown up. My dad took me to Walmart to choose one. I sat on numerous frilly, girly bikes until I finally liked on.…
