I Decided

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…

where she is working to complete her degree in digital filmmaking. While many see this as a risky career path to choose, Kirsten was more than willing to take the risk, during an interview she explained, “film was my art medium, I loved creating. I had fun doing it so I figured I could make a career out of it”. Even though much of her friends and family encouraged her to choose a more “realistic” degree, Kirsten has always followed her passion and faces the future with much confidence. Kirsten…

Los Angeles California, I was sitting in my office with a birds eye view off my store. Hype City Melrose. I was finishing some things on my computer, replying to emails and ordering more stock for our store. I had Giancarlo, Wajeeh, and Diego downstairs helping customers and watching the store for me. It was a slow Tuesday afternoon, only a couple customers an hour. We were about to close the store for the night and a group of 4 walked in. They all looked suspicious but I did not think they…

Halloween night when I was a younger girl I was told “The Night of the Cemetery.” My dads dad, so my grandpa, told me about it. He was Hughes in the story. He told me it was true and it wasn’t just some scary fake Halloween story told around bonfires to spook you before you go to bed that night, it was really true. One night my son asked me to tell him a spooky story to get him ready for Halloween night, I decided he was old enough to hear the story my grandpa told me around his age. So I sat…

A few summers back, my family and I took a trip out to Flagler Beach, Florida, not too far from Daytona. A few days into the vacation, the girls had gone out for a shopping trip, so, because there was a slight drizzle, my Dad and I decided to just chill out and watch some TV until the weather decided to calm down. This was a vacation that will never be forgotten. My ears perk up as I notice the quieting of the rain against the window. I get up and walk over, pushing the roughly sewn curtain to…

father knew that Harry didn’t have courage. But when he brings back the bird that attacked the sheep, Harry’s dad never looked at him the same. In my life in second grade, I did something that I shouldn’t had and I lied about it in the beginning. After I saw that things were getting worse and other people might get in trouble, i decided to own up to my mistake. Buck’s greatest act of courage was the fight with Spitz. Spitz was the lead dog at the…

Prior to conducting this experiment, my hypothesis was that I was going to offend all of the people involved, so I prepared myself mentally for the backlash and negative feedback. Surprisingly, there was a range of emotions and reactions to me breaking this folkway. Emotions ranged from being completely offended and disgusted to finding it hysterical. The reactions from the people fluctuate from being angry and notifying the manager to asking me to join them for dinner. The experiment was…

selfish vain people of the Russian revolution. These people cared nothing for change and sided with any country that could offer them provisions and benefits. I am a person who believes in change and places others needs above my own, I consider myself to be very selfless. By way of comparison my beliefs and morals are nothing like this characters. I shall be contrasting and comparing myself with Mollie in three distinctive ways. The significance to comparing myself to such a character is to…

I was suffering from a significant mental illness and I was expected to die in my 25th year of my life. I couldn’t keep up with any schoolwork and I was always last in the list. Because of misery and my conniving bullies, I had no friends and I was the odd one out. I shrewd like any other kid in my previous years, but my misery just kept growing stronger every heartbeat. The depressing memories reoccurred like a faulty record player. I causally walked up to my locker, my depression following…

In 7th grade I wanted to join soccer, But when I looked to see what team I would be on. It said there wasn't enough people that joined. So there was no soccer that spring. I didn't know what to do. I told my parents that I probably wouldn’t do anything that year, but they said to me that I had to do at least one sport. So I didn't know what physical activity to do next. When I heard of track, and field I suspected it would be fun. So I decide to join, and try it out. During track we do many…
