When I was in 5th grade my friend and I were walking around town when we found a wallet. At first we were going to leave it there but I wanted to give back to the owner. My friend still wanted to leave it there and go back to his house. After we talked for a little bit I convinced him to find the owner. When we looked at the I.D. we noticed that it was a man that we saw earlier, and he was a garbageman. We walked all over town trying to find him but we couldn’t. My friend said that we should just leave it, but I didn’t want to. We looked some more but couldn’t find him, so we went to the park. We got tired and went back to his house, and I kept the wallet with me in case we saw him. The next day my friend and I were walking to the park when

    Do you remember when you were a little kid and you had to climb on your counter-top to reach a cabinet? I remember it as if it was yesterday, maybe because it really was. 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.…

    Another hot summer in Idaho at another family reunion. I chased after my dad and brother’s cloud of dust; reving my ATV’s (all terrain vehicle) engine I whipped around the land my great great uncle homesteaded on. My confidence grew as did my speed until my wheel caught and spun me right into a log that pierced through the fender and into my leg. It was the first time I ever blacked out. When I came too a few seconds later I was alone; high on the trails of the Sawtooth mountains, blood gushing from my shin.…

    In third grade, a boy named Blake - a notorious troublemaker - would chase every girl during class trying to kiss her on the lips. Most of the girls gave in eventually. It was easier to give in than to keep running. When it was my day to be chased, I turned to him, grabbed his glasses off his pudgy face, and stomped on them in front of all the kids on the blacktop. He ran to the principal's office and cried.…

    Jackie Robinson once said “I’m not concerned with your liking or disliking me… all I ask is that you respect me as a human being.” This was my motto as i moved to the USA from Egypt at the age of six years old. Although i was not as old as i am now it was still tough. Thanks to determination and persistence i was able to not only make it in school but understand the language and speak it. It had been a year after my brother was born, i had made a lot of friends in kindergarten, had my dad’s side of the family here, i had finally learned to read and write a little bit of Arabic, and was about to go to first grade.…

    It was a dark gloomy night, rain drips slowly down my window as I awake in the hospital bed. I didn’t know how or why I was there, I tried calling the nurse. But no one answered, I didn’t know what was happening. The last thing I remembered was me and my partner getting shot at, trying to lock up a criminal for robbing a local gas station. I unhooked the machines from my arm, and tried to push open the door.…

    Dirt from the branches and leaves I rammed through glued to the sweat on my forehead as it dripped down my face; it stung my eyes and blinded me as I ran through the maze of trees. Despite the pain, dirt wasn’t going to stop or slow my sprint from the scene I had just encountered. “Right at the river, left, straight,” I murmured to myself, looking down at the path of transparent blue rocks that my sister and I had laid down earlier this summer. We figured that if we ever couldn’t find our way back through the woods to our house, then we could follow the colorful stones that we stole from our other sister’s fish tank. But, the sun was seemingly tired and getting ready for night time, so the blue began to blend in with the dirty pebbles around them.…
