I remembered walking on San Bruno Mountain as a six year old and seeing small, fuzzy blue butterflies fluttering in the spring afternoon. I thought about how lovely they were, and each year I looked forward to seeing them. However, as each year passed, I saw less and less butterflies. As awful as it was, I felt there had to be something I could do. It wasn’t until The Golden Gate Park Stewardship program gave me that opportunity.…
What television show character are you most like and why? One Tree Hill was a show that I refused to watch. I knew mom’s that were obsessed with this teen show, and that was just not something I wanted to be a part of. So when finals came around last year, I decided it was time to watch One Tree Hill.…

Sit back, buckle up, and get ready to scream because I love roller coasters. My family and I go to Cedar Point about every month in the summer, and my dad and I go and ride everything in the park. It is just so fun! The one thing I really like about roller coasters is that there are little rides for the youth kids also. My least favorite thing is when I am not tall enough to enjoy a ride, which doesn’t really occur anymore.…
I must say, you’ve really come quite a long way from where you started. I was a little weary of you at first. In your early adventures, I found you to be an immature boy with a heart for mischief. Maybe it wasn’t just that you liked trouble, but you always seemed to find yourself in the midst of it. If I were you I would have stayed with the widow.…
I don’t know why my parents named me Jack Clover. Actually, I don’t even know why they decided to give me a name if they were just going to give me the life I have. Ever since I was younger, my parents were never home. Mom was always out, cheating with other men because my dad was an abusive alcoholic. She practically left home when I was only seven.…

Life sucks. It’s fact. Things happen, we don’t like it. But as my mother told me one time, “It’s how you react to the things that suck in life that determines whether you’ll be happy or sad.” We can’t blame it on other people.…
It smells like fresh raindrops, and the fragrance of newborn grass in spring on the field in Vancouver, Canada. There are lots of parents and teachers sitting around the field to watch the game. It seems like a good day to kick off practice for the powder puff game. It’s definitely a big day for me. Having a powder puff game is a great tradition at our school, it is a touch football game between upperclassmen and lowerclassmen.…
I remember my first love like it was yesterday, which is not a surprise considering the fact that she was such a big part of my life. Just about every Sunday, I went to my grandmother's house for family dinners, and there I was consistently given the opportunity to see my best friend, Smokey Bean. Bean was a large (but skinny), beautiful female labrador with black fur. If I was lucky, I would be able to get to see her more than once a week, for instance, during school vacations when I could sleepover at my grandma’s house. Overall, seeing Bean became a part of the routine.…
Buddy and Bubbles One memorable experience when I went to go feed my bunnies. It turned into a nightmare I will never forget. I will tell you all about it.

There was no time for a break, we were off to the next one. By “one”, I mean roller coaster, but this wasn’t just any other roller coaster, this was the Dragster. The record breaking, rapid and towering Dragster which was located at the amusement park Cedar Point, in Ohio. I watched my friends walk briskly in front of me anticipating the next thrill. We were walking with Baylee in front, Abby following her, Tiffany next, Megan after her, and Alyssa dragging behind with me.…
I really am not a fan of people comparing me to others, but when I think of fictional characters that remind me of me, a few come to mind. When I think of my personality, I think of humor and a loving person who is hardworking. I really don't like being compared to people because I feel I am one-of-a-kind and don't believe anyone is like me. Despite when speaking of fictional characters who are most like me, I believe three come to mind these three characters represent me as a person in different ways. The three fictional characters that most represent my personality are Stitch from Lilo and Stitch for his hard working and outgoing personality, Roger for his wisdom and understanding, and Stewie for his intelligence and humor but also caring for his family.…
