In particular, there is one wave that is in the process of falling down onto the rocks. There is water mist in the air from this and the ocean is also flowing in-between some of the rocks.

I did not grow up in the United States. My very first time speaking English was on July 25, 2005, the first day I arrived San Francisco. It was not my decision to come to the U.S. because I knew that living in a foreign country would be far out of my comfort zone although I had never been to the U.S. Therefore, coming and living in a foreign country was not something I desired. Although I also had been to different places other than my home town in China when I was little, it was always under my…

When I got to the top of the trench I saw hell. The mist was so thick you couldn't see a couple feet ahead of you and menacing barbed wire was everywhere. Dead bodies littered the battlefield. I heard the roar of yelling as we ran through the slimy mud. Soldiers were dying all around me, but I knew I couldn't…
