as I have been having about my father. As I see him and get to know him more he reminds me of my father. My father was an orphan as well, and he also loved to cut down trees. I got ready for bed. The next morning, I woke up by a resounding noise of an axe being used. I got up to follow the noise as I got closer the noise would get louder. It reminded of my childhood, I would be awoken every morning by my father cutting down trees. The sound leaded towards the hill, as I walked towards the hill,…

When we finally reached the top of the hill we looked below to our house and the accompanying lamp. Holding our cold sleds in one hand and eating the…

Rough Riders—an elite company comprised of Ivy League gentlemen, western cowboys, sheriffs, prospectors, police officers, and Native Americans. Once in Cuba, Roosevelt distinguished himself by leading them on a charge—on foot—up San Juan Hill (actually Kettle Hill) on the outskirts of Santiago. The contingent suffered heavy casualties. The Rough Riders returned to the United States as war heroes. Their varied backgrounds, colorful leader, and bravery on the battlefield brought them considerable…

received no air. Sweat dripped into my eyes. I felt no pain; I couldn't feel anything. I could hear cheering audiences drift as I passed. Mud clung onto my legs as if the substance took the role as a leech. I ignored gravity and lunged forward. All while the only thought I could form was why am I doing this?
