Snow Country

Trip Worth Remembering? So it was winter break, a time which was supposed to be full of excitement and fun. My family and I went to Colorado. It was the first time I have ever been out of the state too! It was supposed to be an enjoyable experience, but it was absolutely terrible. Everything that could possibly go wrong, went wrong. This trip was different from the ones in the past, which usually meant going to San Antonio or taking the 8-hour-trip to see my grandparents. This time…

their country because they can see multiple people with different colors walking down the streets. Nevertheless, it is not the proof that diversity is achieved in the USA. People with different nationalities still avoid contact with each other, interacting only with the chosen group of people who are similar to each other. In his article, “People Like Us”, David Brooks points out that despite the fact that America represents the diversity as a whole, people’s interactions show that this country…

No matter what time of year, Niagara Falls has beautiful rainbows glistening in the mist, or a magnificent ice bridge created by the cold of winter. The amazing and unforgettable scenery always impresses the viewer. However, I almost died there as I was entranced by the magic of the fall and wanted to reach it. No matter what, I still have to admit the that the beauty of Niagara Falls is breathtaking. I was rash, so I did everything without thinking of the consequences and results, but…

in both Earl and Listen is loss and grief. In Earl, the loss of a seal is the main attraction and the human uses purpose and deceit to show the unavoidable loss. In Listen, the dog searched for the snow ball that his owner threw. The snowball was seen breaking apart and scattering with the other snow, but the dog did not understand what was going on, why was the ball no longer there? Any kind of loss is an unfortunate part of life which causes the person or animal who is experiencing the loss to…

December, 2015, my mother planned to take me with her on a business trip up to Fargo for of Winter Break. We had been driving up on the highway; talking, laughing, listening to music on the radio, all this as we saw the ground around us glisten in packed snow and ice. As I looked out the window the farther north of the state we traveled, the more I saw trees that had halves of themselves encased in ice, and had been bent due to the hard winds of winter. Power lines that had been snapped apart,…

It was a bright, white, snowy, cold day. The roads are covered with snow and the fields look like clouds with trees, the edges of the clouds are the snow filled ditches with the ice covered frozen bottoms. Dad had the day off of work and asked if I wanted to go snowmobiling with him. I obviously said yes because I’ve wanted to go all year. After we put on all of our snow pants, coat, gloves, and helmet he helped me get the snowmobiles out of the garage and start them. He was riding his 2012…

It was a warm winter day in March. As I was getting ready for jumping, my fears started to flood my head. What if I crashed? How bad could the crash be? I was slightly nervous to jump my first big hill. I knew I was ready. My coach knew I was ready. So why was there that nagging voice in my head telling me that something was going to go wrong. I had been training all season to qualify for Junior Nationals, but I didn’t make it. Jumping my first big hill was a way to finish the season off with a…

When most people think of Vail, they think of just skiing. When I think of Vail, I think of the diverse people, the food, the snow, skiing, swimming, and so much fun with my family! I honestly love Vail, Colorado! It is one of my favorite places that I’ve been to, and Vail is special to me because we go there skiing every year. My aunt lives in Vail, and we visit her every year when we’re skiing. Since I know the town so well, it’s like a second home to me! One of my biggest memories I have of…

looks like a never ending abyss after falling through the treacherous paper thin ice covering the drop into the chasm were no light can penetrate. You were saved by knowing the terrain and weather patterns of Mount Everest, the immense amounts of snow, the wind, hidden chasms, ice everywhere, and etc. You made tools and clothes to keep you from falling off from ice and up to 175 mile per hour wind speeds (hurricane force speeds.) The effects on humans and animals are the high altitudes and lack…
