We feel the crisp cool wind skim across our faces. The smell of pine trees fill the air, along with sap and hot chocolate. One of our family traditions is to go out and get the Christmas tree the Monday after Thanksgiving. We all go and pick out the tree that we want. It cannot be too big or too small, too fat or too skinny, it must be just right. After we find the tree, me and my brother always try to find a Charlie Brown Christmas tree. These are the twigs that have been cut off of the trees…

“Just go with the flow and it shall be right”, the instructors recalled. The music was about to play and in the glimpse of Ava’s eye she saw Olivia running like the wind. Olivia quickly joined in like nobody noticed. Ava and the girls started to dance and everything was going well until the music stopped. Everyone on stage paused for a second and the crowds faces looked as confused as cross eyed…

There are many symbolisms in Lord of the Flies. Today I will tell you the three most important: Piggy (and his glasses), The Conch and Clothing. I will list the events in the story in which the symbol plays an important part and its importance to the book. Piggy and (and his glasses), it’s a simple symbol. They are intended to look though and looking= vision, vision= sight= a metaphor for knowledge. Piggy knows things the other boys don't, like how to use the conch, and the necessity for laws…

It was a cold day and I had 4 layers on just to block the piercing cold wind from freezing me like a popsicle. No matter how cold it was though there was no way it could ruin this day for me. It was my first Cubs game. I had to wait outside the gates for about a hour just because I wanted to see everything. That included a concert, some Cubs merchandise shopping, and batting practice. I wanted the full experience of wrigley field and wanted to do it with the best fans in all professional sports.…

Agricultural production here, as it was in Puerto Rico is a thing of the long past. Viable, sustainable agriculture is long gone. There are no visible dairies, hatcheries, piggeries, and on and on and on. Hawaii is well on its way to acing Puerto Rico’s fate….BANKRUPTCY!!!!! As noted earlier, U.S. shipping companies trading under the Jones Act today are still required to build…

by earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes, and other seismic disturbances of the sea floor. In the deep open ocean, tsunami waves are usually less than 1 meter and are hardly noticeable. However, they are much longer and travel much faster than ordinary wind waves. They can have wavelengths of 240 kilometers and travel at over 700 kilometers per hour. As tsunami waves approach the shore, shoaling occurs and the waves become dangerous. Shoaling occurs as the tsunami hits shallow coastal waters, and…

At Whispering Winds I connected with classmates I never spoke to or fixed relationships that were broken before. Here is where I felt the need of God, because I was going through a tough time with my grandma being dead and not wanting to talk about it. Though I had my parents for support I needed more and for the first time I had turned to God. Through my Grandma’s death I knew God was going to be in my life for the rest of my life, and also believe he led me to attend my junior retreat. During…

I ambled around my family's spacious property, the same property I had traipsed around almost every day in my life. I had walked this property feeling elated, dejected, and even puzzled, but today I was feeling as aggravated as I feel when a teacher gives out homework on a sunny day. I would have much rather been inside my comforting house, eating a delectable dinner, as delicious to me as any five star restaurant, with my family, than looking for my annoying brother. Through our dense treeline…
