Tightrope walking

The stressful, no-stop nature of life can consume our consciousness, preventing us from reaching out to help our fellow-man. There are often days I question what happened to kindness and humanity, but someone rises up and shows me that those qualities still are very much alive in our society. I was the fortunate recipient of such an act of kindness from a complete stranger who I will never forget. There were grey clouds in the sky, a chill in the air, and not a ray of sun, as I struggled to…

near me. Not after everything I saw. A nurse came in my hospital room with a look of panic. The nurse tried to calm me down and I told her what I saw, what my husband had done to me. She grabbed my hands and told me I was hit by a car when I was walking across the street from my car to my apartment. Steven was coming home when it happened and called 9-1-1 right away when he saw you in the street. I refused to believe it and told her over and over again that it wasn 't true. Steven got up to try…

the memories come rushing back, flooding my mind like a hurricane. I can’t breathe. I shut off the car, rip my keys out of the ignition, and get myself out of the car as quickly as possible. I sit on the sidewalk and catch my breath. I guess I’m walking to work…

The Exploration of My Education After two months of impatience, the day has finally arrived. All of my waiting has at last paid off. Today is the day when I will be walking through the mysterious doors of Portage High School. As I walk out onto my porch on this warm August morning, I gaze down the street to see a yellow mass hurdling towards me at a dangerous pace. Gradually, it begins to slow down until it is motionless in front of my home. I anxiously board inside to find many others sitting…

pointed to this ball-like thing that was covered in something like kelp. “Maybe it’s a buoy.” Christianne said as she kept walking. This place was kinda weird. I think I saw an anchor leaning against some rocks and there was a jet ski sitting on the beach as well. The first part of the beach seemed to be separated by a river that came from further in the valley. We kept walking until we found a nice place to rest under some trees. “Who wants to go swimming?” Mom asked. I didn’t want to.…

What 's the craziest thing you have done over spring break? It was a beautiful spring day, warm and humid with a cool slow wind, sunny the perfect day and it could only get better. It was the day that we had our trip to the lake planed. All of us got off work and we grouped up at my house. We all decided that we would take my car just for the experience, it is a very fast car that turns heads everywhere. The car is all blacked out with crazy rainbow headlights and ridiculously loud exhaust, not…

First memory It was during the night, my sister happened to be sleeping, and snoring. My brother was already in the kitchen and was asking for his daily drink (milk). I withdrew my stool, opened the fridge and pulled out the milk jug with all my might. Then I climbed up like a monkey to grab a cup ( and sugar, as every child needs sugar with everything.) I poured, it spilled, I poured, it spilled. However, after my third attempt I did it. I gave it to him (after I had some of it) and he…
