Now that I finally had my Costa Rican money in hand, I was prepared to start the ten day adventure. Although I could not understand the energetic conversations all around me, I could tell that people were happy. It was such an infectious feeling. We pushed through the glass doors, the atmosphere from inside the airport, to just a few steps outside was so different. The Costa Rican sun kissed my pale-skinned cheeks, and the chatter of people could be heard. Natives were yelling out, “Pura Vida,”…

My dad said “Alright, I told her you can’t do it this year,” after he hung up the phone on the band teacher. We had just wasted the whole day doing nothing, just lagging around my grandparents house in Ohio. Now I knew that I was going to be doing even more nothing. I felt as if I shouldn’t have been there at that moment. I felt like we should have been driving home as fast as we could, so we could be back before night and be prepared for the next day. An ongoing angst made me unable to…

Roller coasters are one of the most terrifying things known to man. The steep hills, the extreme speeds, or even the sudden stops and the unexpected take offs. For an odd reason no one knows, we enjoy them with an passion. Six flags, one of the most famous amusement parks in America, and that’s where me and my dad decided to go to for my eleventh birthday. It was at hot and very sunny July evening, temperatures almost reaching up 100 degrees. Screams, Laughing, and god awful smells from all the…

November 10th 1941. They were here. They took me away for ‘my own personal security.’ Where were they taking me? What was going to happen to me? Nothing was making any sense to me, I had no idea what was going on. They marched me to a green truck that I had never seen before. I have had no clue how long I was in there for but it felt like a lifetime. Finally the truck comes to a stop. I hear them talking from outside but I don't understand. What is coming next? They opened the truck and 3…

The chilly breeze grew stronger into gusts as I gradually made my way to the top of Copper Mountain on a midsummer day. It was afternoon when I finally reached the top of the humongous mountain. I hopped off the lift that had brought me all this way and I snatched my bike off the next chair coming by, scared I would miss it. My twin sister Abby, my older brother Dylan, my dad, and my Uncle Tim all came along on this adventure on the monstrous mountain. We hopped on our bikes and headed down the…

Oh no I think I see them again. Oops, my bad, let's start at the beginning when it all started. It was July 7, 2013 and I was waking up to go to Sagemont Summer Camp. I put on my bathing suit and drove to Sagemont to load the buses. I got there and found my friend Dillon, a kid a met at camp and he became my best friend, and we picked the last seat in the back. I sat in the aisle, my favorite seat on a bus, right next to the group of kids we hated. John, the leader of the group, sat in the aisle…

Too many people bank on the idea that there is time. Time to do all they have plan out to do. People wake up every day to sit at a desk all day to do the same work they do every day. Then they drive home on the same roads they do every day, and come home to do the same routine every day. Working at a job they don’t like, in a town they don’t like, surrounded by people they don’t like. (Epistrophe) We have all seen it, we all know it. Many of us grew up watching this happen to everyone around us.…

THE BEE MOVIE to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway. Because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.” SEQ. 75 - “INTRO TO BARRY” INT. BENSON HOUSE - DAY ANGLE ON: Sneakers on the ground.

Whenever I ride a rollercoaster, the picture afterwards always looked like I was going to die because my face was always in a weird shape because of the wind and I was holding on to the handlebars really hard that you could do nothing to make me let go of them. Most of the pictures were like that when me, my brother, mom, and grandparents went to Dollywood in Tennessee. That was when I actually rode a roller coaster that went straight up and had loops and went upside down. To…

I feel like I really need to Hamilton the most because he was determined to follow his dream. He went out of his way every time and said, “Don’t throw away your shot”. When I first heard that quote I felt amazed because that is true, sometimes we take a sometimes we take for granted our shot and we mess up. As listening to Hamilton you can tell that he made mistakes and I know I have to but just listening to him he learned that a new shot can come around and you should take it because you know…
