Smoothing plane

After being in my room almost all day, reading my book, I went to go see what my family was doing. "We're moving!" my parents announced as I entered the room. Moving didn't bother me much, but when I was told we were moving to Oklahoma I was shocked to say the least. I was shocked because I lived in California at the time and I had only ever moved to a different city at most. This time though we were moving to a different state. A state that was about 1,279 miles away! The day after the…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp! Our boots pound the rocky Colorado trail in the middle of a cold, starry night above the massive tree line with a spectacular view of the lights of Leadville, as we hiked our first 14,000 foot mountain of the summer. Clomp! Clomp! Clomp! We have only just begun. Upward we trudge for several more hours. Following a long, boring drive with my parents, we were able to find Gold Hut East without any problem. I have to say when I got there it was really quiet,…

The plane Louie and Phil were flying was not good and Phil, who was the pilot of the plane did not know the plane’s quirks so it was hard flying it. Also, the tail flew well below the front of the plane so it was slow. Eventually one of the motors blew and since the plane was travelling so fast, it still looked like it was on so someone had to feather the engine which stops the rotors from spinning. Someone accidentally feathered the wrong engine and the plane could not fly anymore…

back from school like a week ago and we needed to ride a plane to Florida. It was the most exciting occurrence in my life because I have never flew by plane before. We needed to leave our house around midnight to we could get to the airport just in time for our flight. We drove to the airport and it took 30 minutes because no-one was on the road at midnight. When we arrived at the airport, we went to department 1 so that we could board our plane. We were just about to miss it when the manager…

dad. Brian’s parents are divorced. Brian knew that his mother was meeting another man, but he didn’t tell his father. Brian spent his time with his mother, so he got on the plane to his father. On the plane, the pilot taught Brian how to fly. After a few minutes, the pilot died by a heart attack. Brian was crashed with the plane in the L shaped lake and survived. The only tool he got was the hatchet. After a few days, he got the fire, enough skills to hunt food using spears, and arrows. Brian…

From double black diamonds to moguls, and glades. I can ski almost anything. However, it wasn’t always like that. Here is how I began my skiing career. In March of 2010, my brother Alec, got on a plane to Massachusetts, so we could visit our dad for the holidays. After a long plane flight, our father drove us to his house, but it was late, so we had to immediately pack my Dad’s blue Ford Explorer, and go to bed. The next day we hit the road early in the morning while it was still pitch black…

When I was in elementary school, my teachers would ask us what we wanted to be when we grew up. The usual answer was a doctor, lawyer, police or firefighter. When I spoke up and said what I wanted my future profession to be was a flight attendant. Their reaction was always the same. They would look at me and ask me where I got that from. I would then explain that the sky was open and beautiful and airplanes seem to glade through the sky. The airplane could take me a lot of places. As a…

Looking back a week later, the Young Democrats High School Leadership Academy was nowhere near what I imagined. And I mean that in a good way. I had an idea going into the conference of what I expected out of it: marketing, social media branding, touring, and networking. And yet, in hindsight, YDA HSLA was all of that, but immensely more. My father dragged me up at the wee hours of dawn on Thursday the 4th, catching an 8 o’clock flight at Midway. By the time I landed at Ronald Reagan at 9:30, I…

The sound of a snarl below them immediately brought their attention back to the ground. Ryker had stopped running and was glaring up at them with his arms crossed. In front of them was yet another city, San Francisco if Leo wasn't mistaken. He blinked in surprise as he realized the distance that they had traveled in only about sixty hours. Then he shifted in his seat and the groan of his legs told him that he could, in fact, definitely believe that they had been flying for so long. Thank…
