I am not going to start this off with a quote because that's what everyone else is doing. I am Avery Peak and I hate doing things someone has already done. I like being creative in my own way, that's why I have a grain shoot for an exhaust in my truck and rolling on 37inch mud tires.…
I remember kids didn’t really like reading much so they didn’t read much. As they got older some of them started to read more. I have read many books over the years but last year I read a book that I loved.…

“I love to have fun! It is in my blood.” Doug speaks this way as if to show signs of life enjoyment behind scarred mental anguish. This is a man who was diagnosed dead in the back of an ambulance and fell into a coma. Doug is not lying when he says he likes to have fun because he is a man suffering from a severe brain injury due to his passion for fun and the thrill of excitement. He was young and doing want any young boy likes to do with a four-wheeler and that his go fast. Laura Stone, writer for dontjudgeme.com, writes; “Speaking of those toys… While speeding on his quad (ATV) sans helmet, he smacked into a partially hidden tree stump and flew up in the air an estimated 80 to 120 feet, coming straight down on his head. As he lay there convulsing, the ambulance made its way through the bracken to him. He died in the back of it as they raced back to the hospital, but was able to be brought back to life. He fell into a coma and stayed there for twelve days.” Doug is still looking forward these days and has a recent change in his life.…
Everyone feels the adrenaline rush as they reach the top of the first hump on the roller coaster. You are nearly wetting your pants as you can see the whole amusement park from the top. There, in those fractions of seconds you are pulled with a tremendous force down from the track as if you just let everything go and are now free falling to the ground. You feel the release of tension as if you just told someone you loved them for the very first time.…
Many people are reminded about a specific event or time period in their lives when they see an object or maybe go to a specific place. When reflecting back on my life I remember many different time periods of my life, each of which reminds me of a specific memory. Many items remind me of these memories. For instance when I was younger, among being constantly busy going to soccer practice or game and playing with my friends or occasionally doing school work. One thing that I remember doing quite often, was going snowboarding. In my opinion snowboarding is one of the most amazing sports you can do, due to the exhilarating feeling that comes with it. The feeling of gliding over the snow at high speeds and then carving yourself into the mountain while you whip across the hill with the freezing cold wind on your face is the best feeling in the world. The feeling of the perfect mixture of complete peace and reckless danger tangled into one. An exciting thrill wholly described as bliss.…
*It wasn’t until fourth grade I was introduced to mystery books. There was a bookstore at my school and one of my friends convinced me to get a book I thought was really weird, but then I read it and it ended up being one of my favorite books. After the exhilarating experience of going on the adventure of May Bird, I wanted to read more and more mystery books. I found that I also loved action books, Cracker.…
From a very early age I loved to read. I read every chance I got. And everywhere. I read in my car…
There is only one to many things that inspires a person. One to many things a person wants to be. One to many things people need, want, have, see in life. The amazing thing about life is you learn everyday, see the truth about life, and experience change. When I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a model because I loved fashion, clothes, and hair but things changed. I grew up, seen things differently, wanted more in life, and wanted change. My life time dream and goal is to be a lawyer and change the world.…

I found Henry David Thoreau?s ?Where I Lived, and What I Lived For? made a very convincing argument. He has many examples to support his beliefs. Thoreau stresses the importance and value of living the simplest life nature affords, which I believe is as important now as it was in his day.…
Immediately, when I turned sixteen I woke up in the morning and saw a pair of shinny silver keys sitting on my desk. I jumped up with excitement and rushed out the door wearing only my boxers, with the keys dangling in my hand. There it was: my brand new GMC Envoy, dark hunter green with a wax that could blind you. I stared at the car with excitement and admiration; it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, and it was mine. I took it for a test drive around the block and opened it up on the highway only three blocks from my house. It had a V8 under the hood, black leather seats, a Bose sound system and enough horsepower to tow anything I desired. After my first test drive around the neighborhood, I picked up the phone and called my friends. I couldn't wait to show off my new car. With a quick thank you and a hug for my parents, I sprinted out the door. Hearing a faint be careful from my mom in the background, I slammed the front door and raced to my car.…
Henry David Thoreau, the author of this piece, lived in the mid-1800s. Throughout his life, Thoreau was an author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, and leading transcendentalist. The Stanford Dictionary defines transcendentalism as a religious and philosophical movement that focused on the belief that everyone has inherent goodness; however, society and its organizations destroy a person’s purity. Where I Lived and What I Lived For expresses, through the author’s experiences at Walden Pond, Thoreau’s view that the world would be better if it was more simple, and people are more pure if they are more independent. Based on Thoreau’s background, one can infer that his target audience of the piece was upper class people or people who were involved in political or religious organizations, so he could show them that life is better if it is lived simplistically.…
Ever had that feeling of adrenaline rush through your body? It’s a wonderful sensation that most people are afraid of, but I live for it. Whether it’s riding fast on jet skis and being air born from the waves, diving off cliffs, or doing any other crazy thing I love that rush of adrenaline. I never realized how much of a dare-devil until July 7, 2006, the day I had my four-wheeler accident.…
Most people dream about what kind of car they want to get when they start driving. First cars are really special. Like most teenagers, I had to settle for a used car even if it was not my dream car. My first car was my most memorable car because I got my license in it, it was all mine, and I had a wreck in it.…
