By remembering the weirdest and most memorable traditions, to the hilarious stories that would make me realize that I was not able to hold my bladder, this would be a story I will never forget. The past has affected my childhood and how I see everything now, but I still have my most precious memories saved and taken care of in my heart. From the saddest to the happiest of days with my family I look back and…

On a depressing Wednesday night in August, the day before Freshman year began, I was forced to make a decision. This decision would change my life for the rest of high school. I had never been forced to make this big of a decision. I just wanted to get a break from football and take a year off. Yet, it has been a huge part of mine and my family’s life since the day I first started. I lived and breathed it when I was younger. Now I just want a break. It is the day before the regular season…

Growing up, Love was never a concept that was explained. We knew we loved out r family and we loved our friends and we loved all of our favorite things in life, but where do we draw a line? When are we to know when we’re crossing from acceptable love to unhealthy love? And most of all, when do we know if we actually love something, or if we think we love something? In “Love” by Tim O’Brien, he involves interchanging shifts from a light hearted to a discouraged mood using an overall symbol,…

Running to me is not something I do but something I am. My teammates are like family; my coaches are friends, and the sport is my life. Running is my safe haven from all the noise in life, but with it, there will always be losing, injury and failure. To run you have to do more than love it, you have to conquer it. It just so happened that my second year of track I experienced more than I knew about myself, with the help of injury. As soon as, the sun was lifting over my hill, I was up and…

Getting accepted into Fresh start has changed my life for the better. Everything in my life was headed downhill all at once. I was in a really tight space. I tried to be strong, but the obstacles did not stop. I struggled with keeping up with my school work, and waking up every morning was a challenge.

“It was all just big joke!, I’ve should’ve known a girl like me could never fit in with a group of people like them." It was a fun and games until Senró Ines handed me the items of mortification. This is what I receive for being “the best behaved” and so I thought. I helped them hand out cake, assisted them with the hotdogs and put up with Luciana’s cousin. “You and your mother do your homework together?” asked the girl the bow, giggling. She was no different than Regina George, but she…

Ally may not read or write very well, but her new teacher Mr. Daniels notices that she does think outside the box more than any other student he has had in the past. After reading this book I learned that if you don't try to fix…

Karli started to get very nervous. The tornado was expected very soon. Leo and Karli drove to where the tornado is expected to start. On the way there it became very windy.

So Karli put on her shoes as fast as she could “Karli, it's time for you to save this town for the second time.”…
