Ski resort

“Fall down seven times, get up eight.” I know that sounds easy, right? Well, it is not so easy when you are held down by the biggest burden of all. It was a perfect day to go sledding the winter of 2014. I went along with my neighbors McKenzie, Noah and Hunter. My siblings Averil, Elias and Xavia also came along. We were sledding on the small hill by the District Service Center. We always wanted to see who made it further down the hill. After a while my brother found a jump a little ways down…

I sat there, in the deep snow, drawing my sound map. My eyes were closed, using my every ounce of strength to listen for even the smallest sounds.

When I was done, I laid down, acknowledging nature 's picturesque sky and landscape. The beautiful baby blue sky enveloped me with it’s gentle appeal while the tops of Aspen trees forced it’s barren branches into…

The following year, I was elected club President, but it just so happened, that all the upperclassmen graduated. A club of…

“BAM!” I went crashing down the hill the cold gust in my face. All I saw was white all over my face, I tried to stop myself but it was too slippery. I finally stopped and looked up my family was laughing. I started laughing myself think how funny I looked.
