Descriptive Paragraph The much publicized meteor shower has finally arrived and is a much anticipated awaited aesthetic show. As I’m observing the dark night sky waiting for the gorgeous meteors to enter Earth’s atmosphere, I see the sensational stunning spectacular sparkling stars. While sitting on my porch in the small town of Malton, I hear a small owl chirping on my backyard tree and the soothing summer breeze gusting throughout the trees. I can hear the constant chatter of my neighbours as they eagerly wait for the show to begin. This being my first meteor shower observation, I feel really happy and believe that this is going to be an amazing show that I wouldn’t miss for the world. The meteor shower is starting and I’m full of enjoyment, gazing at the sky, I see meteors enter Earth’s atmosphere at a tremendous rate, the beautiful sky is lit up with different colours; orange, blue and a bit of purple. The bright strands of light are appealing to the human eye. While meteors are falling every 10-20 seconds, they hardly make a sound. My family comes onto the porch gawking at the meteors, both them and I are watching in enjoyment. My dad brings out his camera and takes numerous pictures of the beautiful sight. The meteor shower finishes, my family goes inside gossiping about the show and how they won’t see it again, I on the other half stay outside and glance at the Big and Little Dipper. The stars start to vanish and I go inside to reminisce with my family and neighbours the next day. In conclusion, this is a moment that will be cherished in my memories for a lengthy period of time and I will surely share these breathtaking sights with my

    We hit a clearing and drop, the world spinning around us, soft grass comforting our throbbing body, the smell. The smell, what is it? It’s new and fresh. We open our eyes and are stunned by the sight. The darkness drowns us, but it is softened by something beautiful overhead; stars, all of them, completely beautiful, each one on its own and every one together. Simply magnificent. We close our eyes and relax, as it seems for the first time in our life, we are completely at peace. Before we know it, its…

They shouldn’t! The workouts that get posted to these sites are made for the more advanced, elite athletes. Crossfit is a new idea and like all new things, you either love it or you hate it. However, Crossfit brings something new to the table which is why many believe it is the better way of life and physical fitness. First, we will look at who started Crossfit and what it means.

    It is often in tenebrous night skies that we so lucidly glimpse the brightest stars. Having the opportunity to be a dazzling star in the pitch-black orphanage of SOS children’s village, was a modest, euphoric and memorable experience. For as a candle, I lose nothing by lighting other candles but only increase the light circles of hope. Raised up in an Indian household that values generosity to the underprivileged, I grew up with a burning desire to sympathize with others. At a young age, I would donate my old text books and clothes to the orphanage, but I wanted to contribute so much more. The children in the orphanage lived in overcrowded homes in groups of 7 or 8 with a caretakers. Being scholastically astute with maths and physics, I decided…

    Introduction: Every day I find myself walking into my kitchen and looking out of the stunning window view which allows me to see the skyline and an abundance of beautiful vegetation. The natural thing that I will be observing is the portion of the sky that is viewable from the window in my kitchen. I am ecstatic to begin this project because although I look through that window every day, I have never found the time to actually examine and appreciate the beauty of the nature with a fine tooth comb.…

    I have always been fascinated by scary rides. It amazes me that average, ordinary people eagerly trade in the serenity of the ground for the chance to be tossed through the air like flower in a fruit processor. It amazes me that at some time in history someone thought that people would enjoy this, and that person invented what must have been the first of these terrifying machines. For me, it is precisely the thrill and excitement of having survived the ride that keeps me coming back for more.…

    Given the opportunity to travel anywhere in the world I would go to the country of Israel. It’s a small country bordering the Mediterranean Sea between Egypt and Lebanon, with its size being relatively smaller than that of New Jersey. It’s somewhere I have traveled before and I would take full advantage of the chance to go back another time. I have more than a handful of relatives in the Middle East. Some of my family members live throughout the many small cities in Israel, with the majority living in the city of Jerusalem, also known as “The Holy City”. Aside from that, I have a couple of my grandfather’s family living in Beirut, Lebanon, a fairly small country that stretches across the Mediterranean Sea and lies directly North of Israel. Along with my family being a strong reason for my return, the cuisine is absolutely outstanding and pretty exotic and there will always be opportunities for me to try new things. The country itself is the most beautiful place I’ve ever laid eyes on and there is so much I’ve seen and have yet to see. The Mediterranean Coast is a wonder, and I would love to visit again to see my loving family, try some crazy new foods and venture into areas I have never experienced before.…

    As I watch, the transparent sunbeams shining through the cloud as they make their way toward the ground. I can feel the oppressive heat in the air and witness the innocent water vaporizes. I think to myself, “This is perfect! Sun, Sun, and more Sun.” I climb aboard the giant beast Suzuki GsxR-1000 to make a final preparation for my journey. As I push the start button and the bike roaring to life, the power vibrates my seat at first and then settles into a soft rumble. I navigate my way through the clutch until I am in the right gear. I engage the throttle and hang on for a fun ride! As I put on the Icon lifejacket and tighten the thick black straps, I remind myself to stay calm and not to made stupid or impulsive decision during my journey. It’s easy to lose track of reality when I push myself off the limits. I need to remember to respect the other operators, the Mother Nature and myself before I take the roaring bike out on the road.…

    There is a quote that says: “Mothers are angels who teach their kids to fly”. I truly think that mothers are angels. Although, I always thought that mothers were sent to this world to be mean with their kid specially in their adolescent years when we would rather go to a party with our friends instead of cleaning our rooms or reading books. Despite that mothers are known for being ''super women.'' What makes a mother so special?…
