Walking on Sugar “Travis‚ This is so romantic‚” I subtlety joked as we stepped off the porch of our beach house. My mom told me stories of how my dad proposed to her on the beach many years ago‚ “It was just Beautiful” ‚ she use to say‚ but beautiful was an understatement. It was breath taking really just to be in this elegant atmosphere‚ a dream like scene I never wanted to end. The sand looked clean like sugar spread out for miles‚ As it squished between our toes and made our claves ache

MKIT105 My Grandson Drew Watching any child develop a vocabulary is always fun‚ but Drew’s robust vocabulary continues to amaze me. Drew is only three years old‚ but he uses words that are mature. For example‚ last week Drew went to the grocery store with his mother. Shop Rite just took over another store‚ so there were crowds of people swarming the aisles. While Drew and his mother were there‚ a stout‚ frazzled woman banged into the cart and then just kept going. In response‚ Drew shook his

Cory Hansen Van Alphen English 101 141 11 October 2012 Childhood When I was a baby‚ the world was a lot different. Everything was incredibly bright‚ or awfully dark. I was remarkably happy‚ or I was terribly scared. I lived in a world of extremes. I was trapped on an elevator that soared to the top floor in an instant‚ and plummeted to the basement the next. Nothing‚ not one feeling‚ not one moment in time‚ lasted long enough for me to explore. Then‚ as I stood up for the first time‚ the elevator

Morning Java Startled by my alarm‚ I stretch my arm out from under the covers and search frantically in the dark to put an end to the obnoxious sound.

My Home Suva‚ Fiji Islands was my birthplace‚ I’ve lived there half my life. Being a dot on a globe‚ two separate islands on a map‚ and a small population‚ Fiji is surrounded with grains of sand and salty water. The beach was my playground. Precious memories were left behind when I had to move to a different country with my family‚ but the beach was a place never to be forgotten. The beach is my home where I explored‚ learned‚ and relaxed; it swept up my childhood to the shores as each tide pushes

I sat down on the park bench by the Mirror Lake that was closest to the fountain. Even though nobody was sitting on the seven foot long bench‚ I sat on one corner occupying the minimum amount of space possible. Only after sitting on the wooden bench I realize that the bench was still slightly wet from previous night’s heavy rain. Though autumn had stripped away the youthful leaves of deciduous trees around the lake‚ it brought a strange nostalgic beauty to the campus. Dry and crispy fallen leaves

Soldier Field I have never been astounded by such marvelous architecture until I laid my eyes on Soldier Field in Chicago‚ Illinois. Soldier Field seemed like a dragon‚ just engulfing everyone who was spectating the Mexico vs Bosnia game on May 2011. When I first laid eyes on the monstrosity‚ I was very intimidated. The thought of entering this behemoth marveled me and made me even more excited to enter and watch the Mexico soccer game that I was anxiously waiting for! Chicago itself is a marvelous

The Beautiful Nightmare Back in November last year‚as I wokeup to the blistening sun shining through my window‚ I blinked my eyes to clear the my blurry sight.

Not even an hour later‚my mother and I were already sitting on a

I don’t know what it is about racing‚ but I really enjoy going to the track. The combination of all the cars racing‚ the smell of the smoking tires in the burn out lane‚ and the adrenaline that flows through your body as the cars line up just does it for me. Watching the cars going down the quarter mile of black pavement at a high rate of speed simply amazes me. There are so many different cars at the track racing. From a 1970 Chevelle to a brand new 2003 Corvette‚ and sometimes if your lucky
