Becoming Airborne Lub-dub‚ inhale. Lub-dub‚ exhale. My heart was pounding as if I had been running on a treadmill for a straight hour. Sometimes it pounded through my brain‚ other times out my throat. My stomach was clenched and buried somewhere near my ankles. It was hard to breathe. It was hard to breathe because my biggest fear was standing right in front of me. And the stupid thing is‚ my fear stood still. “One ride on the Wild One‚ Monica. Just one ride and you’ll get the funnel cake you

I casually walked down the stairs‚ and I saw something on the table. Confused at what it was‚ I walked closer. It was a shiny‚ small‚ white slip of paper. When I got closer‚ I realized it was a ticket to the Bulls game. My head exploded like a balloon. My face lit up like a light bulb because of how happy I was. I never went to a Bulls game before and I was really excited. I liked the Bulls a lot and I had a lot of Bulls clothing except I never really watched any of the games and I didn’t know many

One Day in October I was part of the black sea of roaring people. With my Scott Podsednik‚ White Sox jersey I can go back to one of my best memories which sparked a fandom that has and will last till I’m gone. It all started a few days after the Sox punched their ticket to the World Series and my family and I were in our dining room waiting for dad to come home in order to start dinner. He walked in and we welcomed him with our usual excitement as we wanted to tell him about our day. Before we

In the middle of August Mr. Gall told us to download an app that would track the amount of time I spend on my cell phone. Sadly‚ the app I downloaded deletes my usage after three weeks‚ so I only have three weeks of data. This is my story. The week of October 29th was my lowest documented week of the three. I spent around 12 hours on my phone‚ checked my phone 1675 times‚ and completely unlocked my phone 1363 times. This makes my daily average a bit less than 2 hours per day. That may seem like

In my worldview I believe that God does exist. He is the creator of all things. Through Him all things are possible. God is the Father; He wakes me up each morning to see another day.

Knowledge is all the gathered information that we obtain throughout our lives. There is much more than matter‚ life

They are E’er there! When I confiscate discipline of my new take up (11 months old) on smooth streets‚ and totaled it in 2007‚ I was all incomparable. No one for miles in any route.

She relieved my veneration and talked me through everything I requisite to do. Gave me sensation advice as to where to have the cart

It was negative two degrees fahrenheit outside as I walked down the sidewalk. My house was just a block up ahead and I was slowly getting closer. Now the house was visible‚ but there was a movement on the front porch. I made it to the house to see a family of four homeless people trying to hide from the cold. I asked‚ “ Do you guys have any shelter?” The male‚ presumably the dad‚ of the family said‚ “No.” “Well come inside‚” I said as I opened the front door. They all hurried in as quickly as possible

Friday night‚ as our entire family sat together in the living room watching an episode of Jeopardy‚ listening to one of the contestants give their story about how they taught their African grey parrot to not only have an eighteen hundred word vocabulary‚ but also be bilingual‚ you could feel everyone’s boredom spread throughout the room. My brother‚ who was sick and tired of hearing Alex Trebek said‚ “Guys‚ why don’t we ever go do something fun! We should go to Magic Mountain this weekend.” I shrugged
