Ready for an adventure, I woke up early that rainy morning in mid-August. Last minute preparations and the long road trip ahead of us left me feeling anxious and excited all at the same time. I had been waiting for this trip to North and South Dakota for months now and I was starting to get impatient. The minute my family climbed into our massive rental car, my mood brightened up tremendously. I was ready to take on the long ride ahead of us.
During the road trip there was never a dull moment. We stopped to eat a few times, laughed together, and annoyed each other until the end of the ride. I’m not going to lie, I slept for a few hours during the twelve hour ride, but not much because I was so anxious to get there. I can tell you that it was

    I knew I couldn’t eat all the food I brought with me because I wanted to save it for the rest of the trip. We stopped and ate a nice, filling meal at eight o’clock at Cracker Barrel, and after that, we were off on the road again. After not getting enough sleep the night before, I had to get some sleep as we continued on our way to Orlando. I found a great place to sleep that was not crowded or had a seatbelt sticking out of it like the chairs did. And that special place that I found was the floor of the bus.…

All my life I have been dramatically smaller than all my peers. I have always been ostracized for the fact of my height which, in fact I have no jurisdiction over . I have always lived by the motto “Heart over height” in every aspect of life, and in every endeavor I encounter.…

    Reflections Growing up, I went to a school form Kindergarten until my Senior year of High School. I grew up in a town of about a 100 people and held no job opportunities for your future. My parents had my brother and I when they were very young, so they weren’t exactly the kind of parents that gave us a bright future to look forward too. When deciding where I was going to college, the obvious choice to most of my class was to attend the community college about 30 minutes from our high school. I had other dreams in mind, I wanted to get out of that small town and as fast as I could.…
