SAT

unable to move or talk is a moment I will never forget. I walked up to my grandma, hearing my cousin breathe deeply trying to hold back his tears, and I held her hand. All I was thinking was, why is this happening and why to such a great person? We sat there with my grandma for a few minutes before the doctor brought us back into the waiting room. Once we left the room, my cousin and sister broke down crying. And soon after, so did I. This was the first time our family had experienced death of…

at my middle school where the entire grade ate at the same time. People sat with their friends, unless they did not have any. Being forced to switch tables was humiliation itself, but joining the volleyball team during the summer meant that I did not have to sit alone. I had a place at the table, somewhere to belong. At least I thought I did. As I walked toward the table, I immediately knew something was off. The girls I sat with always looked…

Pet Peeve Snap! Went my mom’s ankle as she strode down the stairs. “Call 911!” She yelled. The ambulance came roaring up to the curb and the medics swiftly carried her out on the stretcher. I didn’t know what to think. My mom, the woman who brought me into this world just snapped her ankle and there is nothing I can do about it. “That must have been some plummet you did on those stairs, Wendy, because your ankle is broken in three different spots” the doctor told us. He said she would not be…

It was around June that I was accompanying my dad at the hospital for his colonoscopy. My dad asked me to come with so I could be his driver when he was finished. He got placed in a hospital bed and I sat beside him. While we waited for the nurses to come and talk to us I noticed that the room was decently hot which was weird because normally doctors’ offices are freezing. After waiting a while, we had some nurse come in and talk to dad asking the regular things such as if he changed his…

“He will never be able to keep up with his classmates, he most likely will never be an “A” or “B” student. There is little hope for him as a student, unfortunately.” The doctor said to my parents as I sat in the office chair, spinning round and round. I had been dealt the potent concoction of ADHD and Dyslexia. Each disability alone is enough to put students at a severe disadvantage, but together it is a one-two punch that could put Mike Tyson down. I was faced with a mountain of an…

me. I brought them to him, they bolted to his body and picked him up. Mom called every family member and 911 to tell them what had happened. The ambulance showed up to take his body to the morg. Mom and Dad sat at the dinner table, calmed down, and made plans for the funeral tomorrow. As we sat…

dog was. They were waiting for us. We were starting to walk to the house when suddenly. out walked the breeder with a leash. I gasped as she walked down the steps with are new australian labradoodle she gave the leash to my older sister and we all sat down and pet her. I stroked her soft fur and got up and hugged my mom and dad. And kept repeating “Thank you thank you” over and over they smiled I was so thankful. I looked at the circle formed around my dog. I could hear them saying…

We finally started moving and went down the escalator to go into the basement. We entered a giant room under the main ballroom and sat down on this cold gray concrete floor with about seven thousand other people to wait. After being down there for about three hours we finally got to go into the ballroom. I was relieved that we were actually going to move. We sat down in the middle section of the gigantic ballroom. Bob Chapek, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts came onto the lit up stage…

The Small Room As the handle was pulled, I breathed in deep, and exhaled just as hard. And that was the end, My whole life leading there. “Everyone off!!” The Guard shouted. I sat in the back of the bus, young and fearful of the things to come. All fifteen or so of us shuffled off the Bus in a straight line. As we all walked through the small court of the prison, I could hear the inmates who had gathered yelling at the top of their lungs…”Fresh Meat”, “Little Lambs”, things along those lines…

I slouched at the table in the boring, gray counselor's room, headphones squeezing my ears, as I did my first hearing and vision screening. The counselor played a series of beeps, and I gave a thumbs up for every time I heard something. Before I knew it, the test was over, and I walked out without giving any further thought to the screening. I had no reason to, as my mom had explained to me earlier that this was simply a mandatory, routine check-up, nothing to worry about. Soon, I was back in my…
