Break

The Break Jenna and her brother Jaden never really had a good relationship, but they cared for each other. She Cheered for her school football team and Jaden played for that team, so it was like a perfect match for brothers and sisters but for some reason it wasn't. One day Jaden was invited to go to a football camp for the best of the best. Jenna was excited for him, but also sad because he would be gone for 4 a month training. Jaden talked to his teachers and football coach to tell them how…

Christmas Break Tales...I had every intention of sending this post out, but never found the time. So the other day I had to do the dreaded "big" grocery run...... I am not a fan of these trips to put it mildly. If I have a list it tends to help, although list or no list I can't seem to process a thought! This turns into time, I don't have to spare, wasted. On to the story... Did I mention that our Kroger is remodeling?? Yep! Right in the middle of the holiday season! I get it, I really do.…

It was Easter break of my junior year in high school. I had just finished recovering from a catastrophic injury that I had received while playing football. I had broken my ankle and needed to have a plate and seven screws put into it. It was difficult mentally and physically to come back from being my whole life basically, revolves around athletics. Having my life being impacted by this incident alone I was having a tough time from getting my mind straight. Only my parents helped me realize what…

It is amazing how much can change in a year, and how much can happen. Last year was truly full of surprises and challenges. Before Christmas break my group of friends separated. We were once six members and then we went different ways. I stayed with two other friends, while the other three moved in to a different group. Around February one of the friends that left came back to us, and is currently one of my best friends. Then we were a group of four, but we got into a fight with one girl, so we…

whether it be good or bad. It is not a question of when it happens, but what happens. Unfortunately for me, I have experienced many unpleasant ones. One in particular, however, completely changed my personality for a significant period of time. Summer break can be described as a marvelous resting period for students all around the world. The process of growing closer toward the occasion is exhilarating, but once you get there, things don’t always turn out as expected. You’d either be in bed…

For the third time in the past hour one has gone outside to get away. Get away also being known as taking a break from life. A smoke break. “On average, every cigarette takes away eleven minutes off one’s life each time they light. On average, smokers die at least 10 years younger than non-smokers” (“Did you know?” 8). Most people assume that smokers are unaware of the consequences it can have on themselves and others; however this is not the case. Smokers are in fact well aware of the costs…

fighting for my life was the day I realized that life is a game you have to fight to win. By the age of sixteen, kids are supposed to be having fun, hanging out with friends, enjoying high school… but not for me. What was supposed to be my spring break vacation turned into my worst nightmare. My nightmare began to fall into place when I went away with my sisters to visit my family in Uruguay. When we arrived I was enjoying life to the fullest, trying to make as many memories as possible,…

Spring break. It hadn't been too long since they had seen each other last, but one would have assumed it had been ages, the way they came together. "Iris!" He beamed, opening the door. "Barry!" They embraced tightly and all of Iris' oxygen supply was suddenly out of the room. Pulling away slowly, Iris was able to take in Barry's appearance. Disheveled, no surprise, his hair sticking up in several places, his t-shirt smelled freshly-laundered, but also, so unmistakably Barry Allen. In his dorm,…

We were raised to believe that people only want to succeed or want to fail; that this a black or white issue, and that there is no gray area. We want to think that there are only two types of people; the ones that succeed and the ones that do not succeed. People are not raised to believe that some people have more opportunities that open doorways to success that other people do not get. We want to believe that “if you wanted to succeed in this country, be you black or be you white, all you…
