2007

While trick-or-treating, my friends and I decided to explore a dark street, we had never noticed before. As we turned down Larr Road I was filled with dread as if I knew what awaited me. With all our bags full we decided to explore the “new” alleyway. Turning onto Zani Lane I ran to my mom’s house. Throwing the door open I sprinted upstairs to my room. Changing as quickly as I could I pulled on a pair of jeggings, some of my favorite kitten socks, and my black combat boots. After some time I…

Everyone dreams of being an MLB player or an NFL player but many people don’t think of what their goals are when they are younger and in school. What do you want to happen while you’re in school? Get good grades, be great at a sport, or become more spiritual? My goals are to get straight A’s, get under 13 minutes in cross country and become closer to God. My questions are, how am I going to do that? Will I become a better person in the process of these goals? These are ways I think that I…

“Is this just a way for you to go gambling,” I asked. “no, well kind of, we’re going to Las Vegas because we didn’t really do anything special for mystique’s birthday,” my dad said. I couldn’t believe I was actually going somewhere fun for once. “We’re going to the hotel Circus Circus for a little 2 day 1-night vacation,” my dad said. 4 days later I woke up at 7:00 am. My oldest sister came over and we got into the car. When we got on the freeway I said, “we forgot the Capri Suns!” The car ride…

Everyone has pet-peeves. The one thing that just drives them crazy to the point they can't do anything except focus on ignoring it. My biggest pet peeve is lied to. I absolutly hate when people lie to me or withhold the truth from me in any way. Recently, I have had my best friend lie to me multiple times because she was embarrassed or because she didn't want me to get mad. I’ve tried to tell her that I’m going to be less angry if she is honest with me, but she doesn’t listen. As much as it hurt…

Throughout my life I have had a countless amount of things happen to me which affected my life in some way. I believe everything happens for a reason, and that the things that happen in life will always cause other smaller things to happen. Things that wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for that one big thing. One of those “big things” that happened to me, was moving from Illinois to Tennessee. In 2016, my dad decided we were going to move to Tennessee. He was looking at different places to…

I walked into the store with one purpose, and one purpose only: to find modeling clay. I tried to find modeling clay to do things in the past, but this time, I came prepared. Pockets full of coupons and change, I approached the shelves. The modeling clay was nowhere to be found. I searched far and wide for someone to answer my one question, “Where is the modeling clay?!”. I left Walmart, and in despair looked up to find United Arts and Education. I walked into the store and found the modeling…

“I’m not good at stories, Pidge. Why do you need one?” “Because I’m having the anxiety of a lifetime for the testing we have tomorrow.” “You’re smart, you’ll do fine. Go to sleep.” “Ah, come on Hunk, bore me with one of your stories!” Hunk signed, plugging in his lava lamp for extra light, “Alright, fine. Uh, the story takes place in New Orleans, 1930.” “No, no, no! Do the flapper days of the 1920’s!” “Okay, okay! New Orleans, in the 1920’s. With a man named Keith, who is in his early twenties,…

As I opened my eyes, I was instantly confused and scared. I didn’t know where I was or what I was doing on the surprisingly comfortable floor. I was laying on my stomach, but when I tried to move I couldn’t find myself to listen to my brain. Then soon I realized that, with my face pressed against the thin black ground, that I was on a trampoline. I could vaguely see the cold cement ground beneath the trampoline I was on. I couldn’t help but wonder if anybody has ever landed on the…

It's been ten years I killed myself. It's was very painful. The worst part was that I saw my family and my best friend in pain. I caused more pain on them then I was alive. My best friends feels that it her fault. It's not because I was already broken inside. It's was so weird because when I was alive I felt empty inside but I still felt broken. A lot of people saw me as the strong intelligent person. They didn't see how I felt inside. When they tell me how are you I say I'm Torn apart…

Ms. Izobelle: I was saying. The play would be about “The Rainmaker” I’ve already assigned the roles and the main characters would be Madeline Ray and James Hale. That’s all. You may have the rest of the time. (Others are just talking but no sound) (Jasper lumapit kay Madeline) Jasper: Hey babe! Congratulations on having the main role. We should celebrate. ( Bria was just staring at them) Madeline: Thanks! Not today. I’m not feeling well. I just want to go home after class. How was practice?…
