A Dream Come True
“A DREAM COME TRUE”

It was a beautiful morning, the weather was cloudy and it was about to rain any time soon. I left my bed and was going to freshen up when my cell phone rang. It was my cousin who was calling me and when I answered the phone she asked me if I would like to join her and my other cousins for a picnic to the beach. To me it was like a dream come true, because I’ve always loved to go on beach picnics especially when the weather is amazingly beautiful. I accepted the offer at once and she told me to get ready in an hour so that we could enjoy before the weather changes.
I promptly got ready and was so excited that I did not even have breakfast and left as soon as my cousins came to pick me up. On our way to the beach my cousin asked me if I’ve had breakfast or not since they planned to have breakfast somewhere outside on our way back home. We were all having fun talking, teasing and joking with each other and just when we were about to reach it started to drizzle and the weather became even more wonderful.
Finally, after a drive of 45 min, we arrived at the beach super excited and ready to have lots of fun. We had brought a cricket kit, a football and some skipping ropes along with us and started to play cricket at first. We were enjoying to the max when I saw something terribly horrifying coming our way, it was a huge wave just about 500 feet away from us! I shouted and made my cousins look towards it. For a moment there was complete silence all around and then everyone started running and screaming, least bothered about anyone except themselves, not realizing that it was too late. I was also running and when I looked back I could see the big wave coming through and destroying everything in its way. The feeling of getting dead soon had already killed me from inside and I closed my eyes when the wave was about 5 feet away from me. My body shook and when I opened my eyes I found myself lying on the bed, sweating and shivering with fear! It took me

    It was a beautiful July day in 2014 when my family and I were camping at Holland Lake with our family friends Kinsey and Lauren. There wasn't a cloud in sight and the sun reflected off the bluish greenish water. The air smelt of smoke and fresh trees. Early in the morning when the campground is quiet you can even hear the waterfall. Holland Lake is a very busy lake with boaters, tubers, water skiers, ect. Since that day was so nice there were a bunch of boats on the lake the waves were huge. Kinsey, Lauren, Alex and I were all pretty close in age but Alex and Lauren were taller so they get the outside of the tube. When we all finished breakfast I changed into my swimming suit speedy fast and rode my bike as fast as I could to my cousins camper, Alex. I had to wait what felt like 5 hours for her to change. Once she was done we waited for Kinsey and Lauren at ¨The Beach¨. Alex and I killed time by talking about how much fun we were going to have…

    The wave was beginning to form, it was go time. I have never run so fast in my life, trying not to leave behind the people I loved, but desperately trying to secure my safety. Sophia, Jack and I made it to a high rise building, over 20 floors. We were on the staircase, trying desperately to make it to the roof of the building, but the cries of the people in my beloved city were louder than I have ever heard before. We were only on the 7th floor when BAM, tsunami has hit. I saw everything happening from a window in the staircase. Hundreds of people being drowned in the rolling waves of the tsunami. The tsunami was so big and powerful, so eager to make us suffer. I couldn't tell if I was crying because of the beauty of it, or because it just killed my…

    It took us a week to get to Missouri but it helped that most of the states to the North were barley infected with the strange sickness. We were going to Missouri to see how my dad’s parents were doing. About an hour before we made it to their house we had to stop for gas and food. The gas station was empty and showed no signs of life. Just in case, I grabbed a pistol and hunting knife and my dad grabbed the shotgun and the machete. My mom waited in the car with the little ones like always. I opened the gas station door for my dad and walked in after him. Slowly realizing what we walked into, we quickly tried to retreat. We walked into a nest of sick people! We shut the doors as fast as possible and barricaded it shut. When we went back to the car my dad and I saw the most terrible thing. The car was surrounded be sick people trying to get to my panicked mom and screaming sisters. We tried so hard to get rid of all the infected people but more kept coming.

    Then a tall homeless man with a dirty gray cap, big scary eyes, and dirty torn clothes, then stared at my cousins and I. He suddenly turned behind our backs and started to follow us without our knowledge for a moment until we couldn’t see anything but the sun and the sound of cars around us, it was like he was invisible, suddenly he jumped behind us and sprayed us with some type of mist that made us all fall to the ground. A few minutes later, when we opened our eyes, we found ourselves near a big garbage can with no one around us we were clueless. There we saw a small sticky note that was stuck to the side of the garbage…

    The best part of the day had arrived, dinner. We had a reservation at the pier in which we were going to eat dinner. We looked like a whole bunch of bees ready to attack. The food was there. Right in front of our noses. We could feel the presence of the warmth coming from the food. The smell was just making our mouths water and our tummies rumble. We looked at each other with such eagerness to have some of those explicit desserts in our mouths. There we were, with our food served and ready to attack. I knew that when I was done with this food there was no longer going to be any space for the dessert. Overall the food was amazing and the experience as well.…

    This poem by Langston Hughes is a very complicated. In it the speaker paints a picture of what might happen to someone’s dream if it is postponed too long. This idea is the overall theme of the poem and it is what unifies and connects each line to the poem as a whole. There are also indirect references that this is not only the dream of an individual, but an entire race’s struggle to achieve peace and liberation. This poem consists of a series of answers to the question, “What happens to a dream deferred?” All of the lines following this first question are presented as different similes.…

    I was playing dodge ball. Usually I'm not very good at it, but one day, I was the last one on the court, and someone threw the ball at me. At that moment, I felt like the end was near. I heard mixed yells from my friends; yells of "Run" and "Catch it!" I almost felt the ball hitting my face as it was coming toward me! I closed my eyes! I heard a loud bang, not unlike a ball hitting someone. First, there was silence, then yells and cheers! I didnt't feel any pain. I realised that since I hadn't felt any pain, I had probably died. Well, I lived a good life. It had seemed that my death had been inevidable to me. I opened my eyes and looked down, expecting to see my body, lying on the floor. but it wasn't. 'That's strange', I thougt, I looked at…

    My dad suggested we should give a family BBQ so I could say my goodbyes to everyone. At the BBQ, I was happy to see all my family together after being gone for eleven years. With the smell of the hot charcoals burning on the grill to the taste of the homemade savory sweet potato pie made me want to stay a little while longer. At the end of the night as I pack up my suitcase, I thought about the whole trip and I am glad I had this chance to visit all the other people who love and care about me. The day finally came for Mykeasha and me to go back home to California. As my dad was getting all of our luggage together and stacking them sideways in the trunk, I was saying my goodbye to my little sister Milan and I wanted her to have something to remember me by. I gave her one of my favorite necklaces. It was a gold heart with lots of little dimonds in it. She jumped for joy and put it around her neck and gave me a huge hug and kiss. Pulling out of the driveway, I felt ok. I was happy to go back home but I was upset to be leaving New Orleans where all my other family lives. Getting back home I sat to myself thinking about the whole trip and I realize that it was one of the most memorable experiences of a…

    The Swimming Pool

    • 763 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In the middle of summer the heat was so miserable that our family had decided to go and cool off at the local swimming pool. It was so hot that day, when you stepped outside you instantly felt the heat and started to drip sweat. The sun was so hot you could feel the heat on your skin trying to turn it red. When we got to the swimming pool you could hear the children laughing and splashing in the water. You could smell the chlorine in the water from the parking lot. Walking up to the red brick building with the tall fence surrounding the swimming pool, we hurried to get inside. Once inside we had to adjust our eyes because of the glare off of the water from the bright hot sun. We quickly found our spot next to a white worn out lawn chair. Looking out at the pool the water looked almost as blue as the sky that day scattered with many unnoticeable heads inside of it. The pool was divided into sections at the front of the pool on each side there were white ropes with blue floats attached to them separating the two feet water from the three feet. At the middle of the pool on the right side there was a short bluish green slide for the shallow end of the pool and another bigger gray slide with water rushing down it for the middle part of the pool. There was also another rope divider that separated the deep end from the five feet water. At the end of the pool there were three diving boards two small and one high dive. You could see all the children splashing and playing in the water while the other kids were waiting patiently to get their turn on the diving boards and the slides. There were a few people lying in the white lawn chairs trying to soak up some of the sunrays. We made sure to put on some sun block so that we wouldnt pay for our day in the sun later. Wiping on the sticky white sun block with its potent bitter smell was a task making sure that we didnt leave any unprotected skin that the sun could get to. Walking up to the water with my bare feet on the hot gray…
