Jet Ski

My brother,Alex, and me were on the dock checking on the fishing poles they had set out. We reeled all the poles in because we were getting ready to go jet skiing. There was nothing on the poles. We went back up to the condo that we were staying in and changed into our swimming trunks.We waited about a half an hour for our parents to get ready. While we waited we watched golf. It was probably the most boring half hour of my life.…

Jet Ski There I was, watching my dad sit on the Jet ski, as I watch him go in circles around the lake. I say to my cousin, "that looks fun,but scary at the same time."

I yelled "Dad" " "Can I go on to?" he screamed "Of course you can " he came closer to me and helped me get on. He said "Hold on to me, like this. Don't let go ok " "ok dad." The motor…

trees, and the smell of fresh river water; that water flowing just outside the house, in the backyard, is the beautiful Pend Oreille River. Outside of the house is three docks lined up against the water’s edge. Each dock has a different water vehicle or float attached to it; a white boat with stripes the color of wine, three jet skis with decals with colors and shapes that would make you feel like you were back in the nineties, smack or canoes and paddle boards. Just south from this family…

For example, when I visit Santa Cruz I do not dare to go in the water because it is numbingly cold, but in Mexico the water is enjoyable at a lukewarm temperature. The stairway leading down to the beach felt like a mile long, but it was worth it once we got down. There was not much room to stand if not in the water; the tide came right up to the first step of the stairs. Since the waves slammed up against the big rocky cliff, it would drag down many small rocks onto the sand that made it painful…

John H Johnson was one of the most influential African-American historian that I've ever studied because he started his own company in a black community full of poverty which was often invaded by white supremacists. In his magazine, he supported black civil rights leaders by writing about the struggle for the children and businesses. Though he grew up in poverty, he tried very hard to get a good education this lead him to write and read extremely well. He started Jet magazine with a 500 dollar…

were shopping we saw many vagrants on the streets that were in need of food and a permanent shelter. When we got back we checked into our room and then went to the equipment checkout area in the hotel and got our skis. When I woke up that next morning, I got on all my gear and went down to the lobby and met up with my parents. We then went outside and put on our skis and went down to the first ski lift. I easily made it to the lift which made my parents surprised. I got onto the lift and when it…

No matter what time of year, Niagara Falls has beautiful rainbows glistening in the mist, or a magnificent ice bridge created by the cold of winter. The amazing and unforgettable scenery always impresses the viewer. However, I almost died there as I was entranced by the magic of the fall and wanted to reach it. No matter what, I still have to admit the that the beauty of Niagara Falls is breathtaking. I was rash, so I did everything without thinking of the consequences and results, but…

You are hanging over what looks like a never ending abyss after falling through the treacherous paper thin ice covering the drop into the chasm were no light can penetrate. You were saved by knowing the terrain and weather patterns of Mount Everest, the immense amounts of snow, the wind, hidden chasms, ice everywhere, and etc. You made tools and clothes to keep you from falling off from ice and up to 175 mile per hour wind speeds…
