friend and mentor, kelsey Dickson. On a hot summer day, sunny and humid. I migrated to the beautiful land of America; that would be called, my new home. I was so over joyed and excited, my heart was filled with butterflies. My dream was always to travel to America one day; because of the glamorous life style I have seen on the television and all the wonderfulness things I have heard about it from my families and friends. With all that being said, my life was tremendously great for a couple…

about it. I pulled over and turned the car off as soon as that last word left his mouth. "Why? Why shouldn 't I tell them?" I asked, my voice rising an octave, "So ya daddy won 't bring you back home? I thought that’s what you wanted. To leave this place and get back to this glamorous life back in Holly Springs?" "Glamorous?" he snickered. "Yeah, glamorous! No chores, you get whatever you want when ever you want, you get to go out and party all the time, you could just look at a girl and she…

How my life relates to “In a Prominent Bar in Secaucus One Day” I enjoyed X. J. Kennedy’s narrative poem “In a Prominent Bar in Secaucus One Day.” The poem was enjoyable as it was easy to read, straightforward, and entertaining. The author’s irony by stating in the title that it is a “prominent bar,” made me laugh. As Secaucus is known as a grungy farm town, and there is nothing prominent about it. The setting for this poem is actually a dive bar that caters to blue-collar workers, in…

Every week, I had to go out at least twice to look up into the night sky. This changed my understanding of the night sky. I started to paint pictures in the heavens. Connecting the dots of constellations, Ursa Major, Scorpius, Lynx, all coming to life before my eyes. Showing me their unique stories of love, honor, or greed. Those nights standing in the middle of my porch, getting a sore neck, made me contemplate my place. I made a startling discovery the night I was looking for Jupiter, the…

the forest dotted among the greens of the trees and fauna. The deep blue ocean rising behind the tree line reflecting the same sun I saw that morning. The white fluffy clouds that told of rain floated peacefully through the sky. Along this trip we did not just take in the stunning sights the island had to offer. There were many small bodies of water and waterfalls dotted within the trees, hidden from sight. Jumping into these small pools was extremely refreshing when under the warm sun in the…

reading the text, your eyes are then drawn to the bright blue markers showing the locations of the family members. There is also the word “tornado” in the path, in te event that the viewer wasn’t sure what caused the damage in question. The overall color scheme of this poster and its repetition also creates something of a flow. At the bottom, we start with the muted tans and browns, earth tones that houses are typically painted, as we travel toward the horizon the color darkens to rich…

My breath is calm, my pulse low. I am standing at the edge of the 50 meter pool. The sun is setting and the sky in my back is still red, but I look already into a dark blue if I lift my head. With the light breeze blowing around my naked feet’s I start to shiver. With all the visitors gone, it is time for me to swim my laps. I try to clear my mind and prepare myself for the distance I will swim today. Pyramid training which equals the distance of 3.900 Meters (= 2.5 Miles). It means I will start…

00.0% The uniqueness of the text CREATE ORIGINAL ESSAY desert I arrived in the Abu Dhabi desert, the view amazed me, it was so elegant and mesmerizing that for an instant I forgot about the sweltering heat that penetrated my skin. The sky looked like lashes of water color, with spots of red and blue, and at some points they joined to form a shade of indigo and lilac. There were many spotted clouds above, that filled the sky with their pure white puffiness, but it was the vivid sun that I could…

It was always the eyes that got me. I could walk in that forest forever, getting lost in millions of shades of green and tree bark brown, with raging fireflies floating around, lighting up every corner. A forest of fireflies. The eyes, the twin moles on his cheek, the soft brown hair which he likes to keep short even though he’s adorable when it’s long, the straight, large nose; all so common to others, but more important than anything in the world to me. It’s weird how realities can change so…
