We could have a big birthday party for my little cousin, but when he’s swinging to hit the pinata and he accidentally hits someone with the bat, it is hysterical. It is in those moments that you feel truly content and…
I miss night activities, sitting around the campfire, listening to the tale of Horse Thief Jack, watching the young kids duck into their friend’s shoulders in fright. I miss skit night, watching everyone make a fool of themselves on the stage. The euphoria of winning, staying up long past bugle to watch the stars in the conservatory. I miss feeling free of burden and worry, being able to forget responsibility for one week and just be a…
One extremely vital point in the life of the Cloud Ark was when Dinah and a couple of colleagues set out to retrieve water from a comet passing by. Every person on that ship except for Dinah ended up perishing. It was safe to say that during that mission, “Dinah had been through many emotional ups and downs while retrieving Ymir,” (Stephenson 491). Ymir was the ship attached to the comet that was once piloted by another team of scientists, all of whom met fates similar to people who died in Hiroshima due to the intense heat of the sun. Yet, despite what Dinah had been through, she never gave up, and ended up bringing the need water to the Cloud Ark so it could survive and sustain humanity for thousands of years.…
No way.” This text means that the humans who had approached Mars as their new home would be forever lost there, and this is because in the text we learn that “atom bombs hit New York,” causing all the “space rockets” to explode.

Somehow, even though I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong, I knew she would be mad about it. While climbing over the table I noticed that it was a light orange glass. It was shaped in a perfect circle, which I loved since shapes are the number 1 thing as a five year old. Once I was on, I felt amazing, like a ruler of the world. Again, I started dancing, and for some reason I will never understand, I thought it would be a great idea to jump as high and hard as I could for as many times as I would like.…
They told me they danced and had some delicious food along with a massive castle cake. I was very disappointed that I couldn’t be there. It was time for play and today in the nursery the music corner was opened. Margaret put on songs for the children…
After the romantic tunes were slipped away in the ether, the grooving music played again and the beats gone like “boom boom bibap bibap”, the lights were changed into lasers that were neon blue that time and we sang proudly with the beats as we walked again to dance. And the rest of the night was a blast, after the ball; they all just slept snoring at full volume on the icy floor of our classroom. Then there’s me, smiling like an idiot because in that moment I knew; my high school was worth remembering…
The feeling of adrenaline coursing through me felt strangely comforting and I instantly became fond of it. I was on the final step of my ballet routine when the music stopped and the lights dimmed.
