A.Cheer- The best part about cheer is stunting. In stunting I am a flyer and love to fly. I could fly all day it is so much fun.When we fly we do pyramids, extensions, pre pps, and other things.

When you see those pictures of clear watered, beautiful, and perfect small paradises, what do you think about? Do you think about where that could possibly be, or how that could exist. I think of the island of St. Croix, a small virgin island just off the coast of Puerto Rico. It is an island of beauty, culture, and color. St. Croix is the most beautiful place I have ever seen, it looks like those pictures you see of small paradises. This tiny island is made up of huge hills covered in…

caused stress. In most cases, animals stress goes unnoticed. An example of this would occur in the aquarium at the Chicago Zoo. The tiger stingray population decreased because of a malfunction in the water system, which caused low oxygen levels in the water. Similarly, a heating malfunction in the same aquarium occurred a few years prior and caused several stingray deaths (DNews “The Pros & Cons of Zoos”). There is more than just one topic of concern for captive animals. Problems like…

absolute best time ever there! We went on one ride called Test Track. It was a ride based on racing and we went up, down, and around at lightning speed. Then we ate at the Coral Reef Café. It had a view of an aquarium with thousands of fish and stingrays. Some were as big as five feet wide! To end the night we watched a breathtaking 15 minuet long firework show. I never wanted it to end. The next day Alexandra and I drove with our parents to Daytona where our hotel was. My whole group…

the tanks appearing as alien visitors from another planet. Reefs are home to diverse plant and animal life that can’t be found anywhere on dry land (Cohen, 2002). The floor below is shiny with puddles water being splashed around by tanks full of stingrays and fish the size of…

parasailing. I parasailed with my mother and sister. Parasailing is when you’re in a harness connected to a parachute, which is also connected to a boat. When the boat speeds up, you’re lifted up into the sky. While we were up there we saw a Cow-shoe Stingray! From the top view of the ocean the water seemed aquamarine rather than blue. In the beginning my sister didn't want to do it, but once it was over she wanted to do it again. While on our trip we also got to paddleboard and kayak. At…

To most people a garage may be a boring place that holds no memories, but to me it's where a recollection of experiences with my father began. In my father's garage are two classic cars, surrounded by a vast collection of vintage automobile and petroliana. Porcelain advertising signs from the 1930s through the 1950s decor the tall gray walls, and a big red Kendall Motor Oil clock hangs in the middle of the garage. Many years ago my father and I started walking flea markets and swap meets to…
