Have you ever been late to go to school at night because you were working? Band practice was scheduled one night after school from 6-9. It slipped my mind when I was at my job. I accidentally showed up late for practice. I walked into first hour excited about practice that night. I wanted the percussion to win every competition we went to, since that’s how it was last year. The band teacher announced that there would be practice that night and for everyone to show up on time. I…

I have always had a love of the arts, but it wasn't until I was a munchkin in The Wizard of Oz that I knew I wanted to be an actor. Up until that point, I had just wanted to sing, but being up on that stage made me want to do musicals for the rest of my life.

So when I was in the Sound of Music, I was surrounded by a…

The Fall In 2010, I was eight years old. I was a dedicated student, and gymnastics was my passion outside of school. I was a good gymnast but my height crippled me more times than one. I was a gymnast that was five feet two inches at eight years old. My practices were long and usually quite rigorous. It was Tuesday evening when I went to my gymnastics studio. Practice was almost over and our last skill was the beam. I was never fond of the balance beam, I would always be too tall to be able to…

Halloween and prom, are both very important nights for young boys and girls. While both are extremely different, they share similarities as well. The attire, time of year, and the emotional atmosphere of the two events, all play into effect on both nights. Halloween is a night where kids of all ages get to be whatever they desire. Goblins, superheroes, witches, and ghosts are among some of the costumes worn on Halloween. Prom, however, is a night where teenagers get to dress like young…

On my birthday last year, 2015, I got tickets to a college gymnastics meet. Not just any team, my favorite team.. MIZZOU! I was so excited that I got to watch the meet front row, meet the gymnasts at the end, and get autographs and go to the tiger store. I couldn’t wait for the next four days! Watching the meet from the very front row was so fun! When the girls ran out of the corner of the room, my eyes just lit up. They were running by high fiving the fans and the crowd was going crazy and…

They were probably bright white at one time, but now they are more of a pale grayish color. I turned to my left and saw the rarest of occurrences, especially at a dance. There were no other girls in the bathroom. It’s a miracle, I thought. I headed straight for the second mirror to the left, the only one without any water around the sink below it. I sat my purse on the counter and unzipped the front pocket with…
