On October 17‚ Kevin’s face was framed with thick hair. The blazing red curls were blinding. The shade looked like cheap lipstick against the pallid‚ wrinkled sheets of the hospital. The color of Kevin’s skin was smooth and dark brown‚ resembling mahogany wood. The sound of waves crashing against the beach could be heard when looking into those crystal blue eyes. Those big bright eyes were enchanting and inspiring. This baby had a luscious powdery smell that was relaxing. The atmosphere possessed

It’s a mild September afternoon and here I am with my hair pulled up‚ wearing a white tank top‚ black shorts and my favorite hiking shoes‚ enjoying nature at its best.

To my left I see a flock birds flying through

Sitting at my desk at home‚ a crushing feeling crept up on me. I didn’t know what to think. I’m not going to make it‚ am I. It was already midway through junior year of high school‚ and having just calculated my GPA requirements for many of the colleges I had wanted to go to‚ I realized that my grades were not even close to what I expected them to be. I guess I had been in denial for so long that I let them slip this far. How could I have let this happen? Where was my mind when I needed to study
