Myrtle Beach Vacation The weekend I went to Myrtle Beach it was awesome! We got there by 2 cars the boys had one car then the girls had one car. We had to wake up at 5:30am but we woke up at 7:00am so we left around 8:30. It took us 5 hours to get there we had fun on the way jamming to music and my dad thought he could go faster than us so we had to show him who was faster. We had lunch at KFC then we headed to the waterpark called Myrtle Waves. When we got there we were…

Bang! Gunshots and explosions are the sounds that follow me. I can hear bullets quizzing passed my ears and I hear the screams of my fellow soldiers as they get hit in different locations around me. I try to aim my gun towards a Vietnamese, closing my eyes before I shoot. I don't look back to that area. I don't want to see whether or not I hit him. My heart pounds in my ears, but it's not loud enough to drown out the moans of pain that sicken me to the core. All I can think of is that…

All year I have eaten like a pig. Vegging out on grass, bark, fruits, and plants, storing up for hibernation. Sleeping from late fall for roughly three months, I will open my sleepy little eyeballs when it’s still quite cold. Tomorrow is February 2nd, Groundhogs Day, all about me! Every year I get so anxious. I wonder will I see my shadow or not? Will winter clad the United States for 6 more weeks, or will spring prevail? I personally shouldn't be trembulus because I have been doing this for 7…

For my observation of how people communicate, I sat down in the food court of the Potomac Mills Mall. What i came to find out is that many people use a certain way of speaking with others, yet it seemed similar to the next person. For example, a couple of teens standing in the "Sbarro" line were conversing about the new Pokemon Go app. The tone in those teens was full of excitement, yet their hand gestures were calm and normal. There attention was fully embedded in the app without taking a…

‘Twas the Saturday before Easter and all through the house all the creatures were buzzing, even the mouse. We were preparing to go on a hike up to an awesome waterfall on Mount Graham in Arizona and everyone was so excited. We were all packing our lunches and making sure we had enough sunscreen. The next thing I knew we were driving off in our assorted trucks and jeeps. When we finally got up the mountain, the journey was hard. There was barely enough room for our trucks to get through. When we…

Ten years after the rumble happened, ten years since Johnny and Dally died. The past ten years have been rough for Soda and Pony, but we managed to stay together through all of the things that happened. We managed to build a house to shelter Pony, Soda, and the gang. We were able to send Pony to college and he’s coming back today for the first time in three years. I called everyone so that I could talk to them about Pony coming back. “So, Pony’s coming home today, and I know…

''Can i walk you home." he asked "sure" "So where did you move from," "Halfway,Oregon," "Halfway I've never heard of it," "you know small town population 290 well now 287 mom and pop stores one library huge city hall tons of churches," "sounds nice," "It was," "why did you move," "well my dad died of cancer last year and i guess my mom just wanted a fresh start," "I'm sorry" "it's okay but enough about me what's your story," "I'm 17 I was born and raised here in Montpelier,Vermont I am an only…

I was ecstatic to show my brother what my friend and I had made! We had used it many times, and it always worked magnificently. I was not aware of anything that could go wrong at the time, in fact, I felt that nothing would go wrong. As I prepared to show my brother, nothing but positive outcomes of what was to come crossed my mind, but the opposite happened of course. This is the all-out favorite mistake I have made. It was the second to last day of summer until I went into the fifth grade. I…

I watched as his eyes dilated, and he seemed to have lost balance and swayed, so I knocked him to the ground. Now, finally in a position to retaliate well, I proceeded to punch the wolf repeatedly until it stopped moving and made a soft wimper. With one out of the way we turned to the other two now approaching us with precaution. Their paws stained with blood as they tackled us to the ground I swung my elbow up with intense force against its nose. With a loud crunching sound his nose began to…

The love I carry is partly a result of skill, partly a result of experience. It’s deep, like the ocean that surrounds us. As much as it would fit to say my love for sports will continue as long as the island stretches, it’s probably not a good comparison seeing as Kwajalein is only three miles long. Nevertheless, the size, restrictions, and boundaries Kwaj contains never hinder my passion for sports, but rather enhance it. Sports and athletics have had such an impact on my life, I can’t ever see…
