Waiting for the Weekend

They were like any other family. The Miller Family had just bought a new 1.5 million dollar home in New Jersey; it was their dream home. David Miller was a surgeon at the Saint Barnabas Medical Center, his wife Mindy was a stay at home mom and they had one twelve-year-old boy named Thomas. Every day the Millers had the same routine: David woke up early and prepared breakfast for the family, eggs and ham for Thomas and oatmeal for his beloved wife. They discussed family matters over breakfast…

Imagine heading home down the highway on a cold winters evening, the snow is coming down hard making it almost impossible to see. While you are just trying to get home safely, it seems like everyone else around is either bumper to bumper or flooring it down the road; some cars have their headlights burnt out while others seem to barely have working brake lights; the most frosting thing to see are the people who just do not use turn signals. Suddenly, the person in front of you hydroplanes, this…

always. I sat near the back and talked to my friends about the game. Although we won, I was worried that my injury would prevent me from playing soccer any more than it already did. The team and I arrive at the school after the game and my mom is waiting in the parking lot in her car. I quickly get off the bus and grab my school stuff in the school and head to the…

It was last summer. While browsing on the Wechat, I was captivated by a story. This story begins like that a couple broke up at the airport. The girl said: “every day I am waiting for you. It’s just exhausted. At first I thought you would come back if I just wait for one more minute, but now I know there’s no point to waiting for you any more, because just like you could never get on a train in an airport, I could never expect the wrong person on the wrong place in a wrong time.” On that day…

suitable to defeating the other team. For me, basketball has been a part of my life since my toddler days. Honestly speaking, without the game of basketball, I wouldn’t have the friends that I have today. From the Rec League games, to spending the weekends together with AAU, to all of us being seniors this year, the game of basketball has brought us closer together. Consequently to the fact it has united us, not a single one of us look forward to the practices. Whether practice includes sprints,…

2017 was an interesting year for me. It was in this year that I got surgery on my lower back. This made me realize a lesson, after my operation, I shall never forget. The lesson I learned after surgery was to make the most of everything while you can because one day you will not be able to perform certain tasks. This story begins at the end of July (of July, prepositional phrase). I was enjoying my summer vacation. I had decided instead of doing a lot of things I was going to try and relax…

Looking at the way I am at present day, many people are confused or even shocked when I tell them how I was in elementary and early high school which is understandable considering how different my initial personality is compared to the character I’ve adapted to over the years. My personality is one that used to be extremely withdrawn and timid; a complete introvert, in all honestly. The beginning of grade ten was no different in its bouncy nervousness, hands shaking as if it were in a blender-…

overcome throughout their life. I had many but I never knew I would have to face the one I went through. I was a dancer since I was 5 and it gradually became more and more apart of my life. I spent 20 plus hours in the studio and spent almost every weekend at dance competitions. It was and always will be apart of me. It was my passion and something that pushed me to have a strict schedule that taught me discipline and time management. I had goals I had to work towards in order to gain skill in…

possessions. All the money that 's left over from important household items is all for you and you only. Convincing your parents to get what you want and when you want it seems easier than convincing a cop theirs a freshly made box of glazed donuts waiting for him on his office desk. Every holiday I would receive many Christmas gifts from different family members, including toys, gift cards, and cash money. Everyone loved to play with me and didn 't mind buying me gifts because I never asked…

looks can be deceiving. It is in these rooms that the real magic of Stonehouse happens. In the roasting room are several giant roasters that produce the coffee made at stonehouse. In the center of the room sit bags of unroasted green coffee beans, waiting to be transformed into the delicious material that Stonehouse is known for. The other room also plays an integral role. A sign on the door gives a hint to what it contains. It shows a picture of a stonehouse scone and reads, “Voted best in…
