“The First Shot Fired” It all started when I went to my nephew’s birthday party at a gun club when I was 12. my nephew’s grandpa told me to bring my shotgun, so I did and when we got there he told us that he owned this gun club. After we were done eating and opening presents he told me “get your shotgun, we’re gonna see how good you are.” When I got my shotgun we went up on to the wobble stand he told me to say pull when i’m ready.…
I evoke waking up every 5 minutes checking my blue IPod to see the time. Every time I woke up I would look outside my gelid, frosted window and see the sky darken to a faint violent. As the sky lightens, I would awaken even more. Just as the clock hit 7:30 A.M. sharp my alarm went off, “beep, beep, beep” desiring that I had gotten more sleep. I had opened my eyes like I had 50 cups of coffee, and jumping out of bed like a deer running from its predator.…
That day was the day my grandmother passed away from having cancer. It didn’t really hit me until a year later. Before she passed away we had plenty of good times, not just me and her, but as a…

Starting a first assignment can be enjoyable yet nerve wrecking, as when it involves researching yourself on "Google". it doesn't seem to help either Being a beginner to online classes, Its quite Intimidating .Its comforting of being slightly used to the computer, as my past job experience has been mostly at call centers, in front of lucent screen. When I vigoursly research myself I expect to find past photos which I probably never knew existed, maybe a my space account, sadly abandoned as I matured through the years without it. What I did find though surprisingly did not surprise me .…
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.…

The day started like any other Monday, waking up to the super bright blinding light shining through my window. Ugh how I loathe waking up like this, forcing my eye lids to open up and allow for my sight to kick I only resulting in them sling-shoting shut again. I continue with this common practice for another 20 minutes or so before I rise from my mildly comfortable bed. I'm awake I gather my things and package my iPad and charger. And I head out to my dads truck where I put my bags and return to house to look for a morning snack, which I don't have any luck with.…
The experiment for me was very entertaining and enjoyable. My favorite part about the experiment was when it started to bubble. It was like a volcano, it gushed out all of the foam and I was happy with my results. The most challenging part of the experiment by far was pouring in the baking soda and the laundry detergent.…

It All Started Here The subtle sweaty feeling on my back invades my uniform and sends a haunting chill down my spine as the wind picks up and I am overwhelmed with a combination of pure fear and adrenalin. The starting line coordinators instruct us to take our marks. I quickly shed my sweats off before jumping into my blocks in my lane.…
The Moment You Were Nothing 10 years old, and what should was something so important in a young girls life was a monster. “You will be nothing” my father looked into my eyes with no hesitation. As my eyes were drawn to him, I realized the man standing in front of me, was not my father, but somebody I wish I never met.. “grab all the food you want and come in my room” my mother whispered in scarcity. My life was locked that year.…
A Turning Point Many events occur during a person’s lifetime, some heal the soul and others leave an unpleasant scar. Either way, by time, all of those events come together to give that person a memorable experience that will not be forgotten.
