This I Believe... To say that a summer changed my life would usually be an overstatement. This time is wasn't. This time I would never be the same, in a great way. As I was leaving the girls dormitory with my roommate Kayden we saw her. Her name was avery and she was sitting on the bench in the corner as usual, she had notty pigtails and thin framed glasses with butterflies on them. Oh , and how could I forget she was reading a book and she held it so close it nearly touched her face. Now…

feeble attempt of shelter, constantly swaying the loose tarp scrappily tied between two trees. The rain seeps down through ill-positioned window flaps to create a permeating dankness. The supposed place of refuge from wilderness becomes a suffocating box as the canvas slowly collapses and sinks to the ground. Of course, prior preparation and remembering to bring along the poles can prevent this hardship, but valuable experiences arise when things do not go to plan. When I went camping on a…

I fired one up and began sipping on my toddy. Looking around thinking of anything I may have forgot, I remembered the 6 electric air fresheners I had purchased earlier in the month, they were under the kitchen sink in a bag. They had a smell of pine tree and cinnamon. I placed 1 in my son’s room, 1 in the bathroom, 2 in the kitchen and 2 in the front room. Then returned to the table to finish my break. Sitting there I guess I had an epiphany of sorts. I was about to complete…

I have a roof over my head. I have running water, I have a shirt on my back and enough food to provide for me and my siblings. Those are the necessities. I don’t need a coach purse or a makeup collection that could fill three H.E.B bags. I don’t need thirty pairs of shoes or tons of decorative pillows that have to be thrown on the floor every time I hop into bed at night. And those things can make some people very happy. It’s a way for them to express their personality through…

All that separates me from the hole is one hundred fifty yards. That means perfection. At the age of ten my father brought me to the golf range and showed me a game I'd end up loving for the rest of my life. The range was as wide as texas but I was still managing to hit each of the sides like a madman playing pinball. He surprised me with a bazooka set of clubs made for someone who was much taller, but I made do with them. They weren’t the greatest set but the fundamentals they produced in my…

“Daddy just open it” I rolled my eyes and smiled. He unwrapped the box and opened the little latch to a brown box. “Oh wow” My father took out one of the books it had a deep red cover golden embroidery on the spine, the cover of the book was “Hogwarts: a History.” Mother took out the next book it was ocean blue with silver embroidery and…
