A Walk to Remember

masks, these modern day aspiring scientists are heroes to me. Each summer, the Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society Beach Hero Marine Interpreters offer free guided walks at Crescent Beach and White Rock Beach. Under their expert guidance, the small-scale world found under your feet comes to life. Years ago, I joined a Beach Hero interpretive walk and was properly introduced to life in the intertidal zone. Although over the years, I have enjoyed countless hours barefoot on the…

The Jump Five minutes was all it took to walk up the stairs to the top of the cave. Through the entirety of the walk I debated with myself; I wondered, if I should take the jump or if I should let fear take over, once again. The jump site was astounding. It was beautiful in every single way; it was bright and exuberant with colorful trees; which, I could not fathom how they had not fallen into the abyss. It was also beautifully dangerous with dark, sharp rocks hovering over foreign waters.…

Dream and watched “Remember The Titans.” The protagonists in these stories both overcome huge challenges. The protagonist in ”Remember The Titans” is the football team as a whole. Their antagonist was the whites not wanting blacks and whites together. In The Running Dream the protagonist was Jessica. Her antagonist was a thing rather than a person. Her new leg and learning how to walk again was her antagonist. Jessica’s challenge was the fact that she had to learn how to walk agin and that she…

dead, just like I almost was. Then I feel confused, where am I? The nurse walks in and tells me I’ve been here for a week now. It doesn’t feel that way. I feel as if I have just woken up and had to ask where I am and why I am here. They tell me that I was found me on Wind River Peak, in Wyoming. I was caught in a rockslide and another group found me and called the ski patrol. I tell them that I don’t remember. I don’t remember being up there, over 7,000 feet above…

When I moved away from my house in Colorado, I always missed it. So I always thought about going all the way back. It's just like the novel Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech when Sal moved away from her barn in Bybanks, Kentucky. In the novel Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech, the barn in Bybanks, Kentucky is an important setting to Sal because she wants to go back because she had a swimming hole, animals that were special to her and her favorite maple tree. Sal always thinks about her barn in…

I remember the day when I had the thought that would from that day on never fail to amaze me. I remember walking down Michigan Avenue in Chicago with the smell of Garrett Popcorn and sewage roaming the air. I remember seeing businessmen and business women making their way to work rolling their briefcases down the street. I remember the massive amount of tourists, including myself, stopping every five feet to take pictures of the beautiful sights of the city. I remember thinking to myself, “Why…

I remember that night like a vivid dream. I stayed up that night to read due to school let out the previous day. I can remember the suddenness of a phone ringing at three in the morning. It was the June 17th, 2014 when my mom walked into my room and told me the news. I can still imagine the creak my old wooden door made as she peaked into the room with teary eyes. “Megan…he’s dead.” After that moment things get fuzzy. I’m not sure if I had started crying right away or if I just sat there for a…

The past few years have felt like a life time, but it is only a single chapter in your story. The chapter is ending, but the story is only just beginning. Before you walk across this stage, and receive your degree…take a moment, take a moment to look around and remember this day, let it soak in, because you’ve earned this day. Remember that this is your day, and no one can take it from you. You were the one who stayed up late to study for that chemistry exam, you were the one who skipped going…

that you cannot go wrong with a two piece suit. A pants suit with a coordinated blouse is a great option. However, if you decide to wear a dress or a skirt; make sure the length is appropriate for a formal interview. While in a sitting position, remember you should not be able to see a person’s thigh and you should feel comfortable in your attire. Men are advised to wear a solid colored suit, preferably with a long sleeve solid shirt underneath. Both men and…
