Journey

It was night, when the disciples followed Jesus to Garden of Olives. They looked worried as they men stopped in the garden. Jesus left his disciples to go pray to his father (God). The disciples kept watch, while Jesus was talking with God. I saw Jesus start to shake and tremble, I wondered what was happening, it was as if someone was attacking him but know one was there. Soon he got up, while he got up, I saw a group of soldiers heading their way. Jesus and disciples came together, while the…

The moment that I began my college journey, I felt lost with no sense of direction in what I wanted to become. The possibility of becoming a nurse has transitioned from being just a choice on a list of potential occupations, to my top priority that I have been working towards for the past two years. I come from a family of dedicated, ambitious individuals who started their lives in the Philippines and have continued it here in America for an assured future for their children. I want to be able…

Adventure has drawn people into its deadly grasp since the beginning of time. In the long stretch of mountains called the Himalayas; Everest stands tall, calling people in with a promise of adventure. Somewhere on the North Face lays a lifeless discolored body belonging to one George Mallory, who climbed the mountain for the third time in 1924 in promise of adventure left the world with a mystery. Some believe that Mallory and his tech savvy partner Sandy Irvine did not reach the summit. However…

the first pathway that they came to. When it became dark the gates closed, and the men were locked out of the gate. Before the men fell asleep, Rahab came up to them on the roof to talk to them. They had more privacy on the roof and no one would have likely heard their conversation. She realized that the spies did not come for the normal favors, but they told her about God and all He had done for them. Rahab trusted the spies and told them that after she had heard all about their…

They left for Milwaukee and had a safe trip, luckily. When Pentatonix reached Milwaukee, it thrilled them to be there. That was the only place they went to, that was completely sold out! They were super excited to perform in front of 80,000 people! They were ready to go, with sweaty palms and butterflies in their stomach, but they had just stepped outside because they wanted some fresh air. The moon was 10 times, if not more, the normal size of it. Then Jonathan came out and told them they were…

He tied his boat of and started to climb the cliffs. He knew that no one had lived to tell what was behind the cloud, but he still climbed, he kept going higher and higher. He got tired and weary but didn’t mind. He just wanted to make it to the top and back so he could be the first person to do so. As the day went on it kept getting darker, the night finally got here but he didn’t stop. He told himself if he wanted to make it and he has to commit to it, so no stopping now. He kept pushing…

It had been some time since Amir and I moved to Fremont, California, but it has not gotten easier for me. I still look back to Kabul, to my big white house, to my old friends, to my old life that now dearly miss. Since arriving I have found that there is a lack of respect and trust in the American society. Amir is fitting in well here, and he loves it, more than our home which leads me to feel heavy hearted. After all, this move was more for him than for me, so I can only be happy for him.…

Emma and the group of men who were sitting with Patrick follow him out of the tavern and down the docks until they arrive at a gigantic ship. The sides of the hull were lined with cannons so powerful they could punch a hole in a ten inch thick stone wall. The ship's deck was hidden under a wall of ropes and barrels full of exotic fruits. Emma followed the pirates onto the ship the weak smell of salt and seaweed slowly traveled up her nose. The princess watched with awe as the sails which looked…

Katherine pulls her luscious brown hair into a french braid as she glances at the nearby waterhole. What a day, she thinks, as she pulls out her camera from under the seat of her dusty old Jeep. Just then, a female lioness walks noiselessly past her car and halts at the waterhole. She crouches down and starts to lap up the crocodile infested water. Katherine snaps her camera rapidly, feeling extremely lucky; this is her fourth good sighting today. She about the cheetah cubs and the leopard and…
