"Touche." We both laugh as the playlist loads. 'Fall for You ' by Secondhand Serenade starts playing through the speakers, I do a happy dance in my seat. "Wha-" Ash starts but I reach over and hit him in the chest. "No. Sh." Then I start belting out the lyrics like my life depended on it. I can feel Ash 's eyes on me so I calm down a bit but still continue singing. By the time the song ends, we 're a couple lights away from Jake 's. That stupid, over-played, new Adele song comes on.…

As Louise drove down Mountaineer Boulevard, she was nervous about going to court again, being unsure which would upset her more, listening to her husband’s yelling about her drinking or Judge Lucas’s lectures. When she pulled into the parking lot, she glanced at Mike sitting in his car. Opening the car door, she noticed the look of disappointment on his face as she sat in the front seat and fastened the seatbelt. Without acknowledging her, he backed out of the parking space without saying a…

Most of us have that one person in our life that has changed us for the better, that person in my life is my coach Jeanna. I began gymnastics when I was 5 years old and Jeanna was my coach from when I started to when I ended at age 17. During those 12 years she taught me so many things that helped during my gymnastics career and things that will help me in the future. Without my coach I would be nowhere near the person I am today and I am very thankful that I have gotten to spend most of my life…

Anne Frank Essay Could you imagine being isolated from the world for 2 years the way Anne Frank had to live?Anne stayed in hiding from the Nazis for 2 years in a Secret Annex. Living in fear that she and the people staying with her would be caught and taken to a concentration camp. In my opinion that would be emotionally exhausting for someone to go through. Anne Frank wrote in her diary, " In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart." I believe this shows…

It has been four of the most rough, amazing and successful years in high school, all that because the right people came into my life. Today, those people became the closest friends to me: my best friends. As a matter of fact, they became my second family. If it weren’t for them, I would still be the quiet, shy and self-hiding person I use to be. Luckily, the way life works with meeting new people, and new places gave me the opportunity to move on from who I once was to outshine myself into who I…

The Day I Stopped Touching You know how some people don’t like others to touch their belongings without their permission? Well that’s how my mom is and she is very strict about those kinds of things. Like most people were, when I was little we loved touching everything, despite the ban of grownups. My mom always said that I couldn’t touch her possessions unless she said to do so, even if it was mine or someone gave it to me. The reason why is that because in Haiti, if a grown up gives a child…

The last few weeks of school before winter break passed quickly. I wasn’t mad at her and would usually look at her but communication between us was scarce if any. She rarely looked at me and never laughed at what I said. It was as if her spirit had died that day after the game. I couldn’t bare to see her like that. The once joyful and happy young girl I had met that first day of school, turned into a dull and hopeless living creature. That’s when I gave up on her. The last day of school for…

As I went inside the pet store, there were noises of all different kind of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits and birds. At first I noticed some cute chihuahuas and other…
