November 14, 2015. That was the day of Preliminaries for California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Championship and there I stood. All alone. In my own line, nervously waiting for the race to start as teams took their place to the right and left of me. Closing my eyes I took time to pray, thanking God for helping me get this far to begin with; then I turned around and stared at my coach from across the barricade. The old man who has been a part of my life for the past two years was smiling…

I’m in the heat of the moment, patiently waiting for the enemies to make their move, ready to strike at a moment's notice. I can feel the adrenaline coursing through my body. I see the enemies slither into their positions and get ready to make their move. Finally, they begin their blitz and send an object flying across the battlefield to where I stand, but instead of avoiding it, I run straight to it. I fly towards the volleyball and dive for it before I dare let it touch the ground. I scramble…

I scream as I saw my family dead. The white walls were now red. My dad was on the floor torn to shreds. Mother was in the kitchen floor with her face scratched out. My brothers throat torn out. I didn't know what to say. Everything was blank. My adrenaline rushing, I ran out calling for help. I had to leave. I couldn't bare to look at them like this anymore. I was internally screaming, why but my body was silent and crying quietly. I crouched down outside with blood on my hands from the moment…

It's that time of year again and complete mayhem has broken out in the house. The attic door swings open, exploding with a heaping ball of dust. The smell of moth balls emanates throughout the space as a rickety old ladder wobbles back and forth. Suddenly, lawn chairs drop from the hole in the ceiling, followed by box fans, fishing poles, and sleeping bags. The hum of the air compressor vibrates the garage walls as many giant pink flamingos come to life, barricading the kitchen door. The…

We can’t be moving!” were comprised in the numerous words and feelings I had when I was informed by my parents in seventh grade that they were building a new house and that we would be moving. Although it took some time, I found that as the house came together, my new life in Little Falls did too. With each step toward the building of our house I matured and learned how to confront and solve the issues that I was facing. The building of the foundation for our new house…

I didn’t know what to do. We were alone and stranded on an island from a deadly plane crash. No place to go. No one to help us. We were all sitting in a small circle in a small cave thinking of ways to survive on the island. However we all knew that that was not possible. I was trying to think of ways to get rescued or how to get food since I was the leader of our choir. With all these gloomy thoughts in our heads, I suddenly heard a deep, harsh note. It sounded like it was from a shell or conch…
