Teeth Supposed To Be Backwards

"Are teeth supposed to be backwards?"
I hated 4th grade out of all the grades 1-5. I already don't like school as a whole (no offense to you) but if there was a least favorite, I'd be fourth. The classes were boring and I had gotten sick of the building. It got worse as I went up a grade also because some of my favorite teachers would retire right when I left them, leaving the spot open for a horribly mean one. The only somewhat satisfying thing were the field trips. They diminished going farther up but I valued them. Though one remains in my mind in eternal infamy.

The Bike Trail. The whole class would get their bikes and ride around the nicer neighborhoods near the school. Seemed like a nice time to leave the classroom and enjoy myself. I signed up to join but I was forgetting two very crucial things. I couldn't ride a bike. Also the one I did have was way too small for someone my height. I even got pretty hunched over from previous attempts (example one: look at me as you

As a bonus we stopped by Rhiana's house (yeah the blonde one in our hour. Just smaller. Ask if she remembers) to pick a movie to watch when we got back. Then we went to a bike park. There we ate lunch and walked around the park. This was a completely new place to me. I don't even remember where it is today. Our one rule was we were not allowed on the skateboard ramps. What they saw was a safety hazard for the kids but I saw it as a shot at fame. So after lunch I sneaked over there when nobody was watching. I picked the biggest ramp and backed up to gain speed as I pedaled. I made it to the top yes, but I had forgot to account for one thing. Gravity.

Ms. VanZegeren, I wish I could tell you I was fine. I wish I could tell you that I was magically able to defy gravity's cold grip on me and soar to the heavens. I wish I could tell you I landed perfectly and made everyone think I was the coolest person in the Kentwood Public School District. I wish I

    Tycianna Caldwell Reynolds ENGL 1010-01N 8 Oct. 2015 Taken for Granted: America We as individuals are very quick to look only at the bad sides of situations. We are sometimes only able to see the things that we do not have and overlook the things that we do. We take for granted things like freedom, equality, and being able to gain an education. Many forget that these things are not guaranteed to others that live in different places. I realized how fortunate I am to live in America when I met someone from another country.…

We all order the giant milkshakes, they really were giant. They were so big that nobody could finish them and they give you a to-go cup to take it with you! After lunch we went to check the pool out and it looked pretty good, so we went to go change in our swim suits.…

    Sasha's POV Detention. If sitting in normal class was already so boring I would go stir crazy, detention was even worse.

I could admire her slim figure, her long blond hair and her nice tapered hips ending in a slightly round ass. I followed her curves up and down…

    The feeling of landing the perfect triple axel, the feeling of falling on a horrid triple loop, the feeling of the ghost cold air pushing against my face as I soar across the ice. The best of all though is the feeling of being on the open ice with no one else on it but you and the judges staring at you and an arena full of people chanting your name and screaming. That is what I thought my life was going to be like, but boy was I wrong, although that is exactly my life on the ice. My life on the ice is probably the only thing I really truly love with all my heart. That and my coach, Caroline Browningdale, she is the most terrific coach ever, even when she is constantly yelling at me to get up and keep going.…

    But I’ve never really tried it because I was scared of falling off of it and hurting myself in the process. There was even a time when my friends can already ride it, while I still can’t. I remember that I envied them because I also want to ride my bike, but I know that I was too scared to try it after all. After a while of not trying, my friends decided that they would help me learn how to ride it. Even though I was a scared for my dear life, they helped me get through it.…
