When I was young in Mastic Beach, we spent Saturday mornings on the porch eating pancakes made by mom and naming all the birds that flew by. When I was young in Mastic Beach, the scent of paint lingered on dads clothes as he taught me how to make the images in my head appear on the canvas in front of me. The clay he brought home already sculpted into figures and applauded no matter how unrecognizable they actually were. When I was young in Mastic Beach, we made frequent trips to the beach at sunset and stayed well into the night, not caring about the mosquito bites that littered our bodies.…

As I said “goodbye” to Johns Creek, I began venturing on a new journey. I would have slept on the long 8-hour expedition if not for the spectacular books that we had brought on the trip. As I grabbed the first book, it was like winning the best of the best. The book could keep someone busy for an entire 3 hours. The experience was as if the book was talking to me.…
I didn’t realize that it had bigger waves than any other parks I have been to. After it calmed I grabbed a tube to sit on. The little waves started to come so I started to push the tube back toward the shore… CRASH. It was my birthday, so I decided to go to Ocean Breeze. Most of the day I stayed with my friend Ryan and his sister Trinity.…
My first time going to Disney World. I was in line for one of the fastest roller coasters the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. My brother and I went on the ride listening to tuns on the ride. There were speakers where my head was. It was really good Rock ‘n’ Roll music.…
In my current job at The Beachouse I was hired as a summer casual 2 years ago and was one of very few selected to stay on after the summer casual period ended. From my experience of working at The Beachouse I have had to deal with a diverse range of people and confrontation. Some being quite negative and I think that its in these moments that I am able to handle myself well and make good decisions. I consider myself good at talking to customers and having a positive attitude. I believe I am a good leader and have shown this through being a sports day captain in year 12 (last year) and also through being a netball coach this year.…
It was another day in Hawaii , but I was so happy because for the first time in 10 years I was going back to my country Mexico. It was my first time in a airplane, I was so scared i felt that the plane would fall off the sky at any time, all I did was pray to Jesus Christ my lord to stay with me and protect me through the whole flight. 3 hours through the flight I was annoyed and tired of sitting down I just wanted to get off already. After 6 hours of waiting the plane finally landed in LA, California.…
If I won a plan to go around the world I would go to Hawaii . My mom would come with me on this trip. We would dive to the plane that take us to Hawaii and get on. After me and mom would state,’’ We are going dad goodbye.’’ So we get on and take off we had toke somethings for the ride.…
The first thing your eyes jumped to was probably the stunning, jaw-dropping view of the beach I was on. I want to say I took the picture, but I obviously didn’t because- well, I’m in it. So here I am, reappearing once again in Nova Scotia, but this time at a beach by Pleasant Bay, right at the tippity top of Nova Scotia. There was no mud on this beach, unlike Fundy Bay.…
“OW!” , I shouted in a tearful pain. My little sister had jumped on the couch and it landed on my wrist and crushed it. I ran to my room in agony and laid in my bed. My mom then came in and asked me what was wrong, I told her, “ My arm really hurts, I don’t know what is wrong with it.…
Who goes to the beach in November in Maine? I do. It is a lot more relaxing than you would think. If you know anything about Maine you would understand that the beach in November is probably not the wisest choice. It’s cold, windy, gloomy, and surprisingly empty.…
Each year, a pilgrimage to the Florida or Alabama gulf coast is a highly anticipated and enjoyed event for my family. In the beginning, it was just my wife and I. Man oh man, these trips were some of the most relaxing times that I can remember. Now, our yearly “beach fest” includes our two children, Kaylee and Garrett. While this is still a wonderful family event, I no longer use the phrase “relaxing”. Elbert Hubbard once said, “No man needs a vacation so much as the man who just had one”.…
In 2004 my family and I made our first trip to the beach. The adventure seemed to take a lifetime to reach our destination. Being in the car for 12 hours is not what any child would call a fun time. My brother and I would play video games and watch movies to past the time away and eat the snacks mom would pack us.…
For an event so dramatic in my life, I still find it strange that I only vaguely remember it, especially because I could have lost my life that day. But I do recall that it was a clear, sunny day in one of the warmer months of 2011, and that I was still an energetic, ever-enthusiastic 10-year-old, much like an obnoxious, but adorable puppy. That day, I ventured to the beach at the aptly-named city of Oceanside, California with Carleigh, my 5-year-old little sister, and our dear old mother. She and I had been psyching ourselves up all week long before we left. What excited my sister was merely the chance to play with the family friends we were destined to meet up with, but I couldn’t wait to catch a ride the waves with my brand-new boogie board.…
