Sam Nichols, 12, and Toby Nichols, 10, revealed world-record smiles as they postured with their prospective world-record tuna captures that even fishermen on the truth cable television series "Wicked Tuna" would require to port. "Wow. Wow. Wow. I am in awe of my kids," Stuart…
Even though people said the Titanic was unsinkable, it still sunk. The Titanic had about 2,208 people on board and 1,503 people died. When the Titanic was sinking 28 people got on a lifeboat and 63 could have fit on. The next morning 300 and more dead bodies were pulled out of the sea the next morning after the titanic sunk. Some people say the captain was turning and accidentally swiped against an iceberg and got hit and some other people say the captain got drunk and wasn't paying attention…
Virginia’s coast is seen as the highlight of the state. The only gem that should be protected at all cost. So we pour millions of dollars to beautify the beach and bring in more people. We do this because in the end more people means more money. This mentality has made us blind to the fact that we have other wetlands in far greater danger than the beach. Marshes and swamps are just as valuable in what they offer the community. Factoring in the knowledge makes wetlands worth saving, not for the…
A beautiful tragedy… in April of 1912 The Titanic sunk in the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Nobody knew it was going to be some of their last nights with their loved ones, or the last night they would enjoy the company of an acquaintance they may have come across on their trip on the fateful Titanic. “Not Even God himself Could Sink this Ship” says an Employee of the White Star Line. Passengers and crew members, music, and art work all went down and were forever lost that sad, unfortunate…
The beeping is pounding in my ears. My breathing slows so I can get my heart beat down. I almost leap up to the blocks when they call my heat up. I take my mark and hear the loud beep. Then everything went quiet. Swimming is something that I've always loved to do. The anxiety of waiting, the hard work waiting to be shown off, and the goal of dropping time is something I think about before every race and meet. After your race you're either full of joy or full of disappointment. I will…

In my life the most meaningful accomplishment is when i finished my Bronze cross. The Bronze Cross is a certification in water rescue that is apart of the lifesaving training offered in Canada, and awarded by the Royal Life Saving Society of Canada. Finishing my Bronze cross is such a big achievement in my life because throughout my life i've felt that i have been told that i'm a bad swimmer. Ever since I was a kid i was never comfortable in the water and I was always a bit afraid so my parents…
My heart was racing while I was standing behind the one of the blocks at Lasalle. My coach said you will do fine but I wasn’t positive about it. I mean this was only my first time swimming at champs. I looked over at the other kids they looked good but I have been practicing all summer. Then, I looked around the pool and see hundreds of people there watching me. I had butterflies in stomach when I stepped up on the block but I was feeling confident. I can smell the yucky chlorine from the cold…
