Happy Birthday to You

have to be back in time for dinner," Ashley replied with a smile growing on her face. "Wait, now that I think about it, my mom mentioned something about inviting you over for dinner. We're having ribs, potato salad, and the absolute BEST watermelon you’ve ever had! It's so juicy and delicious, you'd love it. We've had it for every birthday dinner." "That sounds great! I'm sure I'm free to come." I answered knowing to go along with the conversation. As she continued walking her dogs and I went…

I was born in Norwalk Connecticut on March 30, 2001. I was two weeks late and my mother refused to induce me. Being this late to come out of the womb really set up things for my future. I am very slow to understand things, I guess you could say that I am right brained! When I was two my mom wanted to get her Ph.D. so we moved to Carmel, Indiana. I don’t really remember that move, cause I was too little, although I was told that the move was very heartbreaking. My parents lived in Connecticut…

hurting just like you and me. I looked out the window with a tilted head as the corner of my lips drooped. I was thinking about her funeral. I told you to just back up and take a different path because there were so many different ways to get to her grave. You didn’t listen though. You honked your horn and told them to move out of our way. When my sister and I both yelled “why would you do that?” I added “they were at a funeral!” You screamed “I’m mourning! I’m the hurt one!” And then you…

Happy early birthday to me! My sweet boyfriend, Christopher, just told me we are going to Miami, Florida. We are leaving Sunday night. He says that we are staying on the beach in a rental house. Their beach is gorgeous. We plan to stay a total of 8 days, so I need to pick some places to go while we are there. While in Florida, one cannot miss a trip to the beach. For this trip, I have chosen to go to the beach on the island of Key Biscayne. This island has a beautiful lighthouse that draws me…

Birthday Accident Today was the day that I didn’t expect to happen. I walked out the church cafeteria after eating pizza. It was greasy, oily, and excellent. I felt like I was in paradise. Plop! I was struck by something brown. It was a football. I was hit by a car. I got up quickly as I could because I was not about to le anyone see. I looked around making sure no one saw what happened, but all I could see was my little cousin playing handball and my older cousins playing rugby. A sigh of…

I remember that day like it was yesterday. It was the day after my birthday. February 18, 2014. For me, turning 13 was a leaf. A new day for me to experience the life of a teenager. Also, the day I decided to accept myself as bisexual. That very day I decided to tell one of my friends about my hidden sexuality. To her apparently it wasn’t as much as a shock as it was to me. After saying those words I felt free. I felt as though the world was a whole new field for me to spread and pollinate my…

The sun, the sand and surf. Not a concern Lochie had to worry about since the school holidays started. Lochie was suddenly woken up by the stench of urine. “PHILLIP!”. Lochie screamed. Phillip woke up startled. “Oh no, not again”. Phillip said with a whiny tone to his voice. “Get changed please,” Lochie said with a tired voice. Phillip got up with a frown, slowly got some clothes and went into the bathroom with pee dripping down his wet PJ’s onto the polished wooden floor. Lochie sighed and…

Comparing Hispanic celebrations to how it we celebrate in America Hispanic Americans have roots in Europe, Africa, South and Central America. This means that there is a wide population of Hispanics. Today, the Hispanic or Latino population in the United States is estimated 54 million people (cdcc.gov, 2013). The Hispanics have different ways to celebrate than we (Americans) do differently. American and Hispanic cultures have different ways to celebrate. Both the Hispanic culture and the…

Well Learned The majority of the people in the world should understand the difference between making good and bad choices but, there will always be that one situation. If you don’t do something it’s bad but if you do, then it 's still bad. That happened to me once and I hated it.

I knew she would never forgive me if I did not go but, I made a commitment to my…
