The Never Ending Rollercoaster As my friends and I pass by store to store we had realized that there was a bright red flyers. It had caught our eye, we went and grabbed a flyer and it had said “Ladies and Gentlemen there is going to be a new rollercoaster opening up this Saturday! Come and join the ride!” My friends had said that they wanted to go and check out the rollercoaster.…
The speaker from PreMedical Ms.Schnarre, I was not interested in any of the things that this major had to offer. I have never been interested in PreMedical. Will probably not want to pursue any kind of job in this of work. Even though the opportunities seem interesting, the money was with my interest. I would not want to take a different direction that I am already headed.…

My First Shot The air was empty but the pond was full. We sneak through the trees to get to the pond. We get there to realize that the gamble we took didn't pay off. Since we got there about thirty minutes before shoot time we waited. That was the slowest 30 minutes ever.…
As a child growing up in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the Union, the idea of a vast planet brimming with civilization and culture was more like something out of a fairy tale than it was reality. So, when my father announced that we would be leaving the country to go to Scotland, the home of his and my ancestors, my world began to expand at a rapid pace. This trip could not have been timed more perfectly. The summer of 2007 marked the end of fourth grade, my first year at Saint Mary Academy Bay View.…
Iclesias Phanord Breaking the Norm I’m surrounded by bouncing basketball and expectations. I had not yet found my vocation. However, many people around me had; whether it was basketball, cheerleading, or track - they had found a purpose that drove them. I did not have anything that I was truly passionate about but when I began playing volleyball, I discovered it and I fell in love with the intensity that came when I touched a volleyball.…

However, now I rarely do get to sit on the couch and watch a couple of episodes of TV or a movie because I am so afraid that I’m wasting time that I could use to help me get into a good college. Another passion of mine is video editing, which takes many hours to do, therefore I have had to cut it out of my life. Cutting these passions out of my life has made me significantly upset and I feel like I’m losing touch with that side of myself, because I don’t get to spend much time developing my passions. After recent events in Parkland and in our own school, I’ve realized just how precious life is and want to strive to enjoy my free time. I want to lay across my couch watching movies for hours, or work on and maybe finish one of my…
A Suffocating Grasp “Why can’t I go out?” I questioned her, my heart pounding, and arms quivering. She simply sighed. “Samar, this isn’t Canada, it’s not safe he-” “But you let Hammad go, he’s younger than me!”…
This past year has been the most strenuous year of my life. My family was crumbling, my grades were failing, my boyfriend broke up with me, I lost nearly every friend I had, I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I saw as if there was no light at the the he of the tunnel for me. It got so bad that almost every day I would come home from school throwing up because of the stress I was putting on myself. Then, one day, I was talking with my mom about all of this and she told me that she did not really know how to help…
Nours Al-Jeezani Ms. Suchiu ENG3U October 18, 2015 Who’s in Control? One question in specific had me thinking this whole time: Am I really in control of myself?…
Forever and ever the road seemed to stretch, as though it was designed with no end in mind — as though it was designed to go on forever. This would not have been all that bad had it not been for the fact that I was treading in territory somewhere deep in the heart of Mission, Texas, a city entirely unfamiliar to me. I was surrounded by an unknown frontier, and I knew not which way led home. To make matters a little worse, I had my younger brother, Diego, age 14, in the passenger seat beside me. Driving with me is not unfamiliar to him, since he 's been a frequent passenger of mine since I received my license.…
