A Walk to Remember

I remember when I was little my mom moved me and my little sisters a lot. I remember going to different schools and not making friends because I was wondering when we going to move again.Being homeless was a major turning point in my life. First of all, it all started when I was a young boy. My mom moved us to Atlanta and we pulled up to this big building . It had a big meeting room with a tv in it, it also had a library, upstairs where I mostly spent my time reading books about dinosaurs,…

Even before my high school years began, I was always told to enjoy my senior year to the fullest. I remember being told that it would fly by before my eyes, and I would always think to myself, "They are really exaggerating, I am sure my senior year will feel like a century has passed before it 's over". I would walk the halls of my school as a freshman looking up to the seniors, they seemed very grown and mature. I couldn 't wait until I was in their position. I had always dreamed that my senior…

The towers fell, Washington was distraught, We prayed for their lives at the same time we prayed for ours. I left behind my people,culture and the waves of unforgiven time before I got a chance to meet them. My Mama and I her only companion stepping in a empty desert with sand our feet did not recognize, and the lost footprints of those before us. I know, Mama must have been terrified , aching and begging I wouldn’t cry or at least stay quiet for them not to notice she fought every fear inside…

the fact that I hate flying. Once of the plane in South Carolina you are herded like cattle to a holding area were you wait forever with hundreds of other people. In waves you board a bus which will talk you from the airport to Fort Jackson. I remember the moment we got on Fort Jackson and the bus came to a stop, I looked out the window and saw the Drill Instructors (DI) standing there feet shoulder width apart, arms bent at the elbow at a 45o angle with hands overlapping behind them. This…

In the world there are five senses. There's taste, smell, vision, hearing, and touch. All of these are in most people's lives, except me. Well, at least until now. My eyes start to open slowly, trying to remember what happened, but that topic changed quickly. I was very thirsty, so I tried to stretch my arm out to get a cup of water, but nothing--nothing--moved. I started to panic, wondering what happened that night, but I didn’t get any answers until I figured them out myself.…

bus at six in the morning at Senior. The sun was already out but the air still had a cold chill to it. All the girls on the team looked tired, their hair was messy and their eyes were barley open. I walked onto the bus and smelled something warm. I walk to the back of the hot bus to find a seat and someone had brought bagels from Big Apple Bagel for the whole team. I grabbed an apple cinnamon bagel and the first bite was soft and warm. The bus was very quiet because everyone was tired and we all…

Three days ago i had a ride coming to take me to school at 7 am. The night before i did my homework, packed my backpack, and set my alarm to 6am. I ended up staying up until 11 o’clock watching Netflix. The next morning i remember waking up at 6 am holding my phone and turning off my alarm clock then, telling myself 5 more minutes. The next thing i know, i hear my doorbell ring and my mom saying “Oh my gosh! shes still sleeping!!!” “What time is it?” i asked. I rush out of bed and run my…

For Fighting. I had listened to this song many times before. I remember singing along to the lyrics and having a good time. If you’re unfamiliar with the song, each stanza begins with a different age. “I’m 15 for a moment/ Caught in between 10 and 20/ And I’m just dreaming / Counting the ways to where you are.” Each verse ends with the line “there’s never a wish better than this/ When you only got a hundred years to live.” I remember once the song finished, during this particular “belt…

project that I chose, gave these animals all the attention they needed. For this project, I volunteered a total of five hours to walking the dogs at the humane society. I simply took the dogs that needed a walk, and walked them on the available trails just outside the humane society. On the walk, the dogs were able to smell all the new smells from other dogs and from other animals that walked along the trails at one point. The dogs were able to have fun while staying on a leash to avoid them…
