    Emery I looked around the dank tunnel before stepping aboard the train. Those around me stared out the window with blank, unfeeling expressions. Their eyes reminded me of the sky above us- gray and hopeless, afraid of the upcoming downpour. Coming home was never fun. After a successful 7 hour day at the CDC, I had washed off all potential diseases and taken a stuffy, slightly yellow tinted can with wheels and sticky seats. The trains had been in use for years, even after the bombings and the…

    world. This summer I received that chance. In May of 2015 my mom told me, “We are going to see Ben and Samantha, “my Aunt and Uncle in the Dominican Republic. At first I was opposed to going, but as time went on I grew more and more excited about going on the trip. By June, everything was finalized and I was leaving to the Dominican Republic! On June 8th at 10:00 a.m., the American Airline airbus A320 lifted out of Sunport International Airport. My mom, sister, brother, and I flew to Dallas,…

    June 6th, 2016, the end of my eighth-grade year at TKMS, I woke up, at 5:30, jumped out of bed, got dressed, ate, and yelled at my mom to get in the car, all by 6:20. But of course we weren’t even close to ready, and we didn’t even need to leave until 7:30. So after reluctantly going back inside, to pack a spare pair of clothes, sunscreen, and our tickets (which we almost forgot), we were finally ready to go and it was already 7:40, “MOM!!!” I yelled panicking, “WE’RE GONNA BE LATE!!!” “We’re…

    she decided that it was best for me, my sister and her to move to U.S.A. Don’t get me wrong, since I was a little girl, I wanted to travel the world, I wanted to experience new things, meet new people, talk different languages. But not at twelve. I wanted to stay in Barranquilla, Colombia; I wanted to stay with my culture, my traditions, my family and everything that I was accustomed to.

    with a referee, I asked if she had played water polo in her high school years and how it has changed in comparison to today’s game. “They are still out there working as a team and out there having fun, that is how it was for me.” (Jen). In the interview, her most stressed point was that the teams know they are a team and treat each other like they would family. That is exactly what the team I am apart of focuses on most and is why I am able to connect so well to the game and team I…

    The Move I have moved six times in the course of my seventeen years of living. Moving is fun getting to discover new places and meeting new people, but moving can also be very difficult having to leave close friends that you have grown very close to over the years. The toughest move yet has been from Nashville Tennessee to Birmingham Alabama. I had lived in Nashville for eight years and had started to think that we were never going to move again until the summer of my seventh grade year when my…

    Over the Summer, I stayed with my best friend in Missouri. We had an exciting time on their boat. I learned how to play skip-bo, which can be very competitive. It was the first time I’d been so far from home without my parents. Spending time on the boat, playing cards and getting over my malady, in the hot Missouri sun, was one of the best times of my life. We went on the boat whenever it didn’t rain. One day, we decided to go tubing. Overall, it was great until the inner tube exploded, and…

    I knew immediately that I wanted to give up social media for three days from the moment I read the details of the assignment. It was an easy choice for me because, it is something that I engage in every day. I am on my apps and my cell phone constantly. Perhaps even more than the average person should be. Checking my cell phone as I awake is a part of my morning ritual, and it happens subconsciously. I wake up in the morning and grab my phone to check Instagram and Facebook like it is the…

    It was a normal Saturday afternoon, I was playing in the sandbox with my brother, Tommy. We had a dull crimson shovel, which was rusty from all the countless days it has been left outside. The sand was damp, from the storm the previous night. We took several breaks, as we wanted to dig the deepest hole that we could. Several feet down, we noticed a luminous glare. We thought we found treasure and we ran to get a camera. We finally dug out a deep enough enough the pull out the amulet. The…
