The dance team was doing magnificent, and with more experience, we started performing outside of our church, such as youth rallies, musicals, local events, and different churches.The girls had grown to love dance. The year was coming to an end, and we could not wait for what exciting performances and activites we could do the upcoming year. However, Tess, the captain of the dance team, was leaving to college. Some of the girls had gotten discouraged because they thought dancing was over, however, I was not going to repeat the same mistake. I took the iniative to pick the team up and continue the performances even after she left. We continued to practice, and each day we got better; we even were blessed to have more members to the dance team. And to this…
At exactly 6pm the bell was rung which signaled to everyone that dinner was now ready. We all piled in to eat an assortment of chicken, rice, vegetables, and salad. After dinner a bunch of the girls, including myself, sat on the dock letting our feet dangle down by the water and sharing stories trying to get to know one another better. I was surprised to find that a lot of us actually had a lot more in common, other than being in the honors program, then I would of imagined. Later on that night we all gathered around a camp fire enjoying our smore's and anticipating what the next day had in store for us.…
As my head comes out of the cold water, my hair dripping, and my mascara smeared I knew in that moment that I was renewed. I walk out of the pool full of passion and happiness to greet my best friend, Elena. As I begin walking out the bathroom I find Elena waiting for me. We hug and cry together in happiness knowing we had done something the both of us believed strongly in. We dry ourselves off and sit down together surrounded by all of our friends watching as the other kids got baptized. The smiles on our faces could not leave as we watched our pastors baptize these kids that we had grown very close to.…
It was a warm sunny day, like the ones you would expect in a summer camp; laughter was the melody that filled the air. Everybody was cheerful and enthusiastic, well everybody except one of our counselors. He was very worried, because his sister had been extremely sick, and nobody had been able to heal her. Everybody in my group had told him how sorry we felt for her, but really nobody connected with his situation, so we were not thinking about it. Instead we were immerging our souls into the contentment that was surrounding us. That day while we were acting, everybody was relaxed, focused and happy on what we were doing. We were living in our own little summer bubble. We decided to take a small break, in between the laughs I remember a friend saying “Isn’t it surprisingly amazing how beautiful life can be?”. That was the last sentence said before a cell phone rang and changed the course of the day.…
Finally, the ceremony ended. I got out of my chair glad not to be sitting down any longer. I looked around for my family. We went to have lunch at a nearby restaurant. As we walked there, the small tight high heels I was wearing made my feet hurt. As we walked through the door, I heard the the quiet buzzing of people all around me. The inside of the building seemed like it was as small as the inside of a tent. As I was waiting impatiently for the food, I spotted a girl from my school who also was graduating. I wanted to say something to her, but she seemed too busy with her family. The food finally came. The food and dessert was as good as if it were brought from heaven. I finished my…
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…
Florida is portrayed as a fantasy land where Mickey Mouse greets you around every corner and where Cinderella actually lives, where days go by without a single drop of rain and the sky is consistently perfectly blue. However this was the farthest thing from my mind as I sat in an immense carbon-emmiting monster whose air conditioning has spluttered and died and while the heavens poured the air was so thick and mucky that flies were sticking to the windshield as we drove, only to be washed away by the drowning rain. As this was happening, my dad who was yet to figure out his left from his right had the near-miracle task of finding our hotel. Which was almost impossible because visibility was limited to about a yard and that requires great concentration, which was hard to find after the fiasco at the airport....…
I remember walking with my best friend across the arena, our legs synced with the pattern of walking straight, left foot then right foot. While holding each other’s hands, we looked up and were instantly engulfed with the sounds of our cheering parents. The speaker sounded like a faint voice drowned out by the infinite murmurs of the enormous crowd. The lights were almost blinding as my eyes filled with tears. I tilted my head back to keep them from ruining my mascara. My heart was so full of excitement and glee, it felt as though it was going to burst out of my chest or launch out of my throat. Then, I sang with my choir family for the last time. I have been with the same group of people for four years, helping each other grow and develop vocal skills. Even in that bittersweet event, my teacher honored me by giving me a solo on a song that had everyone in tears. And, there was a moment where I had finally located where my family was in the crowd and saw the tears in their eyes. Tears of joy were all I could have seen. Faces that had become so familiar to me were new again, just as I was beginning a new life. Their eyes and smiles comforted me and in a time of uncertainty and nervousness I knew that they would be there to support me not just tonight but for the rest of my life.…
After what seemed like years of waiting, the day of camp finally arrived. I hastily packed my bags and threw them in my car. My friend on the other hand, was late. She took forever putting her bags together and she walked out of the house as slow as a snail.…
Having my little sister at that parade to watch and cheer me on, as I twirled in front of my middle school band, meant the world to me. The worst part of that day came just a few short hours later when she had to leave again. We were afraid that we would never see each other again. She called me as they began to drive away, and said, “Tash, I miss you already. Please don’t forget about me, and come visit me soon. I love you, big sister.” Hearing her say that as she was crying just broke my heart. That night, I was glad to be with my closest friends having their support knowing that part of my heart had just left me again.…
