Getting into a car accident is a traumatic experience by itself and an even more difficult situation when the car is brand new and totaled.

My mom knew she wanted another SUV and wanted it to be a Chevrolet as she felt most comfortable with this brand. We checked out a 2015 Chevy Trax and a 2017 Chevy Equinox. Then, we had to compare and contrast them by the size, features, and price. But in the…

Have you ever done something you did not think you could? I definitely have. It was a windy day at Camp St. Croix. Our councillors woke us up and we went to eat breakfast. We had about 8 people in our cabin not including councillors. Our councillors were Moja and Javier. Moja was from Malaysia and Javier was from Columbia. It was scrambled eggs and sausage to eat with orange juice to drink. After that was over, we went to the morning gathering, sang a few songs, listened to some announcements,…

The day came where I would take my behind the wheel test. The few months of training paid off as I walked out of the DMV with my license. Although I was legally allowed to drive, I still…
was in this vehicle where we bonded throughout the rest of my teen years. The way it played out the 1998 Sierra was passed down to me once I graduated high school and through some internet bartering I managed to trade a Yamaha Banshee for another truck of the same body style. The only difference with this one was it was a 1993 and it was equipped with four…
Panic reigned all through the camp. All three men scrambled for their rifles, and began taking aim at the trees. The howls were slow-paced, and mournful. They sent a shiver up Nick’s spine.

The howls still raged on from somewhere beyond the clearing. There were what sounded like thousands…
