It’s finally a measurable time before the air begins to flutter down white flakes of comfort. There is something so peaceful about winter that many people seem to just not understand. Ok, yes. It can…

Western Cordillera After nearly 720 km of walking, I’ve arrived at one of the highest points in the Western Cordillera. My legs and back are sore from climbing the steep and twisting mountains, while my entire body is frozen from the ice and snow. But the sight I see now is definitely worth it. Everywhere, all of it, is beautiful. The mountains I see are the very jewels of nature, hardly affected by the booming forces of erosion. These are colossal proofs of the Western’s Cordillera’s status as…

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary (2015), the secondary definition of ‘blinders’ is, “Something that serves to obscure clear perception and discernment.” From youth through to maturity, our perception blinders are defined by environment and experiences - they focus our vision—just like their primary function on a horse.

Racing There are a couple reasons why I enjoy racing. I enjoy the class I am in and the competition in this sport. Racing is a skilled and competitive sport. I love the competition so I can improve my skills in racing and hopefully continuing my racing career to full size cars. What my dreams are for my future in racing. My dream is racing in the World Of Outlaws. I prefer racing wing better than non-wing due to the wing cars can go faster. In the wing class, since you have a wing…

After being at school for what seemed like forever, I put on my boots and headed to the ski lift as I looked at the snow glow in the cold February sun. As I waited in line, John was grabbing ice balls the size of my hand, then throwing them at my back. Without anything to throw back him, I felt as helpless as an amputee in a war-zone. Even though Jack was next to me checking my ticket, he did not seem to care that someone was throwing ice balls at me. He didn’t even care to look at my lift…
