Flip-flops

up close. I had never seen a swan in real life. How would it behave? I was so curious. Without really thinking why, I extended my leg out towards the swan. My flip flop was about two inches from its beak. Before I could bring my foot back down, there was a SNAP! This beautiful, calm, gentle-looking creature had taken my flip flop right off my foot. We have been back since this first trip. Now, seven years later, there is a fence along a portion of the path where the swan hangs out and…

Cool ranch doritos taste like summer and flip flops. I keep shoveling them into my mouth, my lips coated with the blue and red dots that season the chip. I can still remember Elliot saying, “You know doritos have red 40 in them, right? You’re consuming crushed up beetles right now as we speak.” I can’t taste crushed up beetles. I just taste the chips that remind me of summer and flip flops. With my hand coated in cheesy crumbs, I lean over the table to grab my history notebook, and wipe my…

Cady, a once straight A, honor roll student finds herself falling behind in school, and becoming a person that even her own parents do not recognize. When we are placed within a small group of individuals we often find ourselves, or change into the person we wish to become. Because the plastics lack within- group diversity, they are all expected to act the same, dress the same on certain day, and even think the same. When these types of things are implied, and forced upon, we find that many…

The flips involves the jumper to first create a rotational motion around their centre of mass. This is done to create angular momentum which ensures the spin occurs and must have a net force greater than zero. The angular momentum occurs around the centre of…

We left for Afghanistan on the 19th of May, my son’s birthday. My son was all I could think about every day during sunset in that unfortunate country. It helped to ease the frustrations that came from the days of sadness, brutal heat, and fatigue that shook the proverbial hand living with the catastrophic reality of the dreaded IED (improvised explosive device). My platoon lived in a small, burnt-out schoolhouse south side of the village that we did patrols in and around our little piece of the…

intellectual way. During my junior year of high school , I experienced the best part of my leadership career. Flip-flip one, the most basic marching exercise that builds the foundation of a successful band. My junior year was the first year where I got to teach marching fundamentals to my section. The first exercise I had chosen to teach for the marching season was, of course, flip-flop one. With an audience of seventeen students, I had to seem positive. When I got up to teach the exercise,…

Bright red flip-flops, shielding my feet from the slivers and splinters the wood would provide below me, flapped against the rolling baby blue cooler being trailed behind me. Towels dyed in brilliant yellows and pinks brimmed the dazzling turquoise beach tote that I grasped in my left hand.…
