Spent fuel pool

the genius idea of a compromise: “What if we go to the pool first, then the beach?” They disagreed and said that we should do the complete opposite of my plan. Realizing that I was completely and utterly defeated, I said, “I’ll wait for you both at the pool.” “Why don’t you just go with us?” asked Lucero, trying to peer-pressure me into conforming to her ideas. “Because I want to go to the pool.” My mom said she would let me wait in the pool as long as I was at the shallow end. And she would…

herself up, as her body had reached its point of sufferance, and it collapsed upon itself like a house of cards. She tumbled to the ground, chest first, sending excruciating shockwaves of pain, leaving her immobile. Oh, how she wished she stayed at the pool of water, drinking it and resting by it, before embarking blindly through dark, unfamiliar caves. The last thing she heard was an evil laugh, and the world faded to…

even like[s] the way [his] stomach falls away when [he] get[s] to the top and [can] feel the pebbly grain of the platform under [his] feet” (Scott p.22 line 20-23). The reason for this being his halcyon is because when Chris goes diving before the pool opens, he gets a kick out of it. He loves the way the kids stare at him with open mouths through the glass of the viewing area. When Chris goes diving he feels as if…

On February 19th, I attended the 2017 Epcot International Festival of the Arts located in the World Showcase of Epcot Park, Disney World Florida. This outdoor gala encompassed an array of fine arts exhibited under fine white tents along the World Showcase’s walking paths. As I strolled along the pathway, I came across one particular framed photograph that captured my interest. It was a large digital photo of an under view of a pier and it was titled, “Pacific Tides” by Carlos Cuba. As I gazed at…

That morning, at 10:00 a.m., I was at my swimming lessons at the Mora Aquatic Center. Leah and I went to our swimming lessons. After we finished at 11:15 a.m., we went to the park to eat lunch and play around until 12:30. At 12:30, I went to the pool and I went and played in the deep end (12ft 6 in) and went off the diving board and drop off slide. I also went on the other 2 water slides that they have. At around 3:40 p.m., I went on the fast green slide, I forgot to duck my head because…

I’ve always been a strong swimmer; I’ve always been determined and a believer, but I can't say I had ever thought about winning state. I was twelve years old in the summer of 2015, which turned out to be one of the most important and eventful summers of my life. I woke up on Thursday morning at 6:00, ready to start the first day of my state meet. The meet would take place at the Walter Schroeder Aquatic Center in Brown Deer, Wisconsin; lasting a full four days, starting on Thursday and ending…

A is for Alabama One beautiful spring day Dad, Jamye, Madi, Nolan, and I went to Gulf shores, Alabama. The ride there was fun going through Mississippi and all of the swamps. They were really neat. The ride there took us about 15 hours or so my dad drove the whole day and was exhausted. He went straight to bed. It was spring break so there were quite a few people there. The hotels owned the beach that we stayed in, so that helped but we had a lot of room. Once we unpacked and settled into…

The girl sitting on the side of the pool with blue lips, shivering like it is twenty degrees outside, that was me. As a child, most kids go to a swimming class to learn how to swim and enjoy their lessons, to ultimately growing up spending days on the lake with their friends soaking up the sun kissed water. For me, this experience was a little different.I loathed going to swim class. I would beg and cry, asking my mom to take me out of the class but the feeling of being a young child who just…

overlook the pool show that we are down a guard, and it is only moderately…
