It was about five in the morning at this point and I decided to go to a different trail about a half hour away so I would be able to still hike before heading back home. I wish I had…

Some friends never change, and others do; but it’s the friends that change us that matter. Some memories never leave us, and some are as easily forgotten as the last time we blinked. The summer of 2010 holds some of my most painful and fun memories and it is surely a time that changed me and all of my friends. My friend Michael now knows that he changed that summer, but what he does not know is just how much he changed all of us. Like most summers do, it all started at the end of school, the…

The problem was, as far as my face goes, I have almost none there. But when it came to my body, there were quite a few problem areas I could attack.…

later we were doing drills. Coach Jose would hit the ball to us, lets us catch it, then throw it back to him within five seconds. the ball came in a little too hot and smacked into Blake’s lower stomach. He was knocked to the ground and could not get up. He was so hurt he did not show up to the next practice. When Blake came back there was a change in the ambiance. He was no longer fun,he would talk back to the coaches and was just rude to everyone. “What’s up with him?” my friend Matt Asked. …

“Beach Reach is going to be a great thing. We plan to make a trip to Florida and spread faith!” Pastor Mark said enthusiastically. “You never know whose life you could change. We’ll be there during spring break, and there will be a lot of partiers there. If anything, we could save one drunk kid from doing something stupid.” “We even hand out fliers for free pancakes and stickers,” Danny added. Danny was a black man with dreads who, in my opinion, resembled the rapper T-pain. He was a…

I was in hell. Try outs were a pain in the ass. I had never ever been through so much in one day. I loved basketball so much, I just love it. We warmed up and introduced ourselves to each other. Then the pain began, we started with the basic drills that everyone should know. We did lay ups, passes, and then we ran! Running will always be a natural thing, but me a person who hates running? I rather get a burn then have to run, but it’s part of the game. There was about 20 of us trying out. Our…

Sol walked over to the kitchen. It wasn’t until they reached up to the cabinet for a bowl did they realize that they’d been using their powers subconsciously. Sol hoped Anja never noticed.
