Rocky River Ranch Narrative
The day was sunny and bright as I entered the iron arch. Rocky River Ranch it read. Little did I know that after walking through that arch my life would never be the same again. I was only 12 years old and I thought I was simply going to another summer camp. Rocky River Ranch is a little slice of heaven in the middle of the hill country in Wimberley, TX. I have grown up here and made lifelong friends. Through this all-girls camp I’ve also learned independence and gained a deeper appreciation for friendship and sisterhood.

    Cottonwood Drive Narrative Report

    On 05/08/16 at 4:57pm, I was dispatched to the 1500 block of Cottonwood Drive on a dog at large, no known owner. I arrived at 1430 Cottonwood Dr and spoke to the complainant, who stated that the dog has been running loose around the area and almost getting hit by cars. She pointed out the address of 1492 Cottonwood Drive where the door was on the front porch. I arrived at the house and the dog proceeded to leave the front porch. I tried to capture the dog. Unable to capture the dog, I knocked on the door to see if anyone was home. I receive no answer; I was able to get the dog back on the porch with treats, where I place a leash on the dog. I placed the dog in the van. There was no current owner information on the dog; I left a door…

    Personal Narrative: The South Platte River

    Our whole wagon train met at the front entrance and we left Fort Kearney together. It was a nice stay, but we had to keep moving. As we were traveling on the trail, we were stopped by the South Platte River. We need to cross the river in order to follow a stream that heads to the North. We check if there were bridges around the place since the water was shallow, but we saw no bridge. We decided to use the sand bar we saw so we can get across the river. As we crossed the river, Michael almost fell off the sand bar with his 13 year old son. Luckily Curtis pulled him up and we were successfully able to cross the river.…

    Beyond Suffrage: a Book Review

    Moving on, the twenty-eight women discussed in this book are all linked through a complex network, which made them very strong in a time where women had no real strength. Almost all of them held top federal jobs in Washington DC. They were all educated women, born in the same generation. A sisterhood, supporting each other and encouraging each other after every victory, no matter how small, linked them very closely. These women gave each other the moral support and mentorship that seems absent in today's society.…

    Crested Butte-Personal Narrative

    My feet ached as I passed through the automatic screen door to the snow filled Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport parking lot. The cool, crisp air stung my face, but my smile remained. Seven slow years have passed since I visited Crested Butte, Colorado, and I have been craving to return the moment I left. The towering mountains, blissful blue sky, and blinding white snow from the piercing sun makes Colorado a place like no other. I stood waiting on the icy concrete for my dad to pull around Baby Blue, a 1996 Chevrolet Astro van my family had nicknamed. My family visited Colorado in 2010, because my mom’s boss owns a timeshare condo, which included Baby Blue. He offered us a vacation to Crested Butte where we could have a free place to…
