My World

The summer of 2015, I went to Disney World with my mom and step-dad. We had this trip planned since we hadn't gone for a while. On our second day there we went to Hollywood studios. For a while, I have been wanting to ride the rollercoaster Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, but I was not at the required height. Finally this year I had a growth spurt and I could now ride it. This ride is the fastest roller coaster in Disney World. It starts off fast, going from 0-60 in less than a…

It’s A Small World It’s the summer before my seventh birthday and I am invincible. It’s my first time at Disneyworld and everything is perfect. I am with my entire family, my sister, mother, and father. My heart flutters and I feel a surge of excitement. The ferry carrying us from the parking lot towards the magical kingdom is finally getting close to that iconic castle that I have seen so many times on TV. It is easy to forget we are riding a boat across a small lake that separates this…

Your large, glowing eyes like lanterns to light my way when I become lost, are full…

the darkest crevices in my mind. Divorce! The word to me seems so grotesque and evil; however this cruel word became a reality for me when I was sixteen years old. Family has been always one of the most important aspects in my life, my life and the world as I knew it died. Nevertheless, I still find myself wishing my parent’s were back together, I understand that it is selfish to wish this, but I can’t help but close my eyes and imagine this image of my mom, my sister and my dad all living…

The song, “Be My Escape”, by Relient K, uses one main poetic device to convey the story that the speaker is telling: metaphor. Throughout the poem, the speaker illustrates that they are locked inside a house. We are told that they know how to get out, because they know who has the key, however they are afraid of what lies beyond their safe walls out in the world. They initially think that they know what is best for themselves. Eventually they come to the conclusion that they must take the chance…

myself. Sweat dripped down the length of my body and into places I absolutely didn’t want to think about. My clothes were quickly becoming second skin, clinging in the most uncomfortable way. Furthermore it didn’t help that I was dressed from head to toe in sunlight absorbing black clothing. The only comforting thing that kept me going was having the knowledge that I knew everyone who surrounded me was going through the same experience. A quick glance to my left, a woman fans herself with a…

He admires his appearance, character and health. He describes this in the opening pages through his letters to Elizabeth by saying “I must say also a few words to you, my dear cousin, of little darling William. I wish you could see him, he is very tall of his age, with sweet laughing blue eyes, dark eyelashes, and curling hair. When he smiles, two little dimples appear on each cheek, which are rosy with health”. This could therefore mean he wants William dead? He is jealous of Williams’s…

Bank Experience) My first experience with selecting my current bank draws back to my first day at university. I created an account, on paper, at a tent during the welcome week celebration. The experience was quite rushed and informal. I had numerous questions and concerns. I have never had to deal with my own finances before, and I was quite nervous. However even though the rushed process, the bank was quite accredited and well-known so I didn 't mind and felt safe inputting my personal…
