It was Ellie’s and Lexi’s senior year at Birkwood High School. Both girls have been best friends since they were in third grade. As they grew up, both had different relationships, both played different sports, and both participated in different clubs, but that didn’t stop them from hanging out all the time. Lexie was always jealous at the fact that Ellie was more popular in everything she did. Ellie is a straight A student, who has a 4.5 GPA, she is a starter on the soccer team, starter on the…

Gardner.Session1.Journal As I reflect on the past as to why I want to go back to college, I remember sitting in my Director’s office at work, talking to her about our department, and the increasing number of assignments she is being handed down.

I left out of her office to get ready to leave my shift, thinking about what she…

I had a small jacket in my bag for when I got off the plane, some books and my small iPod. I was moving to Forks; a small town in the north part of Washington state. I haven’t been there in years, not since I was 13 to be exact. It was the town where my dad (Charlie) lived, I used to spend summers with him, but I haven’t in…

I grew up in church, I remember going to church every Sunday. So when I entered first grade and was around the age of six I had the opportunity to save the salvation prayer and I took it. A couple of years went by and I was in the third grade when I made a group of friends at school who were homeschooled and I went to public school. This was one difference that I feel started my comparing my walk of faith to. To me they were perfect and where doing everything God wanted but I felt as if I failed…

Caulfield represents the core of all men and women. At the bottom of every one’s heart, there is a great void; a hunger and…

My Golf Cart Stories Some and or most of these should be relatable to you, because these are all the good times I had with my golf cart back at my old house when I lived near you. Hope you enjoy the memories! My Brother’s accident It was a cloudy day, and I remember it perfectly.

The rays of the sun had not touched the small town of Stratford when we left for state. After a long dreary ride, we finally got to our hotel and checked in, we decided would go take on an adventure at the mall of Round Rock Austin. We all decided we would stay together since the mall we went to was an outside mall and there…

It was warm July weekend, and I was stuck at yet another racetrack in southwest Iowa. I was there for one reason, and one reason only; to watch and support my two brothers and their passion of riding dirtbikes.

The air was blisteringly hot at almost ninety-eight degrees, and even the wind blew hot on my skin. I was…
