Plank

malfunctions on the ropes or wires could lead me to plummet to my death hundreds of feet below. Down below me there was a pales of wet, slick rocks and the sound of rushing water repeated in my ears. I shockingly made it across the swinging bridge and small plank to the part where you are supposed to zip line down through the trees. At that point I was sobbing because of high the jump was. The thought of hitting a tree branch or the rope breaking like in the movies. A girl, not much younger than…

Skiing is a great way to exercise, yet have fun. I ski because I like the feeling of going really fast down a steep snow covered hill and catching really big air. I like any type of skiing, downhill, cross country, even backcountry. I love the feeling I get when I am in the air for a long time. I also like the vibe that a ski resort gives off. There are the ski bums(that are there everyday), the crazy ski team kids that send it off anything, and the first timers, everyone is having fun. I like…

Throughout history, gender and race have restricted the actions of many. In the early 1900’s racial discrimination was not illegal, therefore racism was very unrestrained during that time period.

It is set around the same time period, there was a lot of sexism and racism towards people, if you weren’t a certain…

Dear journal, I had another horrifying experience the day of today. It was the most dangerous and deadly thing we have encountered on this trip so far. ( and I thought yesterday was bad enough). The trail we have been taking all this time has a part where we have to cross the Columbia River. It had fast rapids, huge rocks, and high cliff walls. In fact, I have not the slightest clue of how I am alive and breathing right now. I thought I would surely drown and die in that river. Anyways, to…

The 1862 Homestead Act. A homestead bill passed the House in 1858 but was defeated by one vote in the Senate; the next year, a similar bill passed both houses but was vetoed by President James Buchanan. Before the Civil War, the southern states had regularly voted against homestead legislation because they correctly foresaw that the law would hasten the settlement of western territory, ultimately adding to the number and political influence of the free states. This opposition to the homestead…

I always warm-up before I do any form of exercise for about 5 minutes, whether it be cardio or strength. My warm-ups consist of a light quick walk around my house and stretches that include touching my toes, planks, or windmills. I learned a long time ago that if one does not stretch properly, one can easily hurt oneself like break a bone. Next, I start the conditioning phase for about 15 minutes, which consists of either jogging around the neighborhood if weather…
