As you grow up‚ you often tend to look back on your childhood and remember things that have helped shape who you are as a person. For me‚ one of the most vivid events in my childhood was when I moved from my mom’s house in Nevada to my dad’s house in California when I was seven. My mom made the decision to have me move in with my dad. It was a blazing hot Saturday‚ the kind that you can only find in the suburbs of Las Vegas. I was laying down on the couch‚ watching tv and I could hear my mom talking

Savannah Neely October 3‚ 2013 The Haunted House As I stood‚ staring bleakly at the dilapidated house. Chills ran down my spine. I forgot my jacket‚ I thought to myself. The twojackets‚ three pairs of pants‚ 4 pairs of fuzzy socks‚ and boots could not keep me warm against the deathly cold. The walkway up to house were cracked. Weeds emerged out from these cracks. Briars were growing wildly in thick batches by the gate. The moonlight cast a

Sulav Sharma TRIP TO SIX FLAGS I have always been fascinated by scary rides. It amazes me that average‚ ordinary people eagerly trade in the serenity of the ground for the chance to be tossed through the air like flower in a fruit processor.

For me‚ it is precisely the thrill and excitement of having survived the ride that

The small bell tingled when the door was swung open. The rusted handle caught uncomfortably under the customer’s hand. The curtains veiling the front door blew gustily and coughed out a cloud of dust. A large stack of books greeted the keen eyes entering the small crowded shop. It was 8 feet long and had 6 shelves devouring the entire place on the wooden framework. Books sat on the lip of the ledge‚ leaning over as if peering over the end. The torn and tattered exteriors of the fat volumes of paper

MY MOTHER There is a quote that says: “Mothers are angels who teach their kids to fly”. I truly think that mothers are angels. Although‚ I always thought that mothers were sent to this world to be mean with their kid specially in their adolescent years when we would rather go to a party with our friends instead of cleaning our rooms or reading books. Despite that mothers are known for being ’’super women.’’ What makes a mother so special? When I was little I remember that she used to play with

I remember‚ as a child‚ my first trip to the carnival. I stood at the entrance‚ my small hand held firmly by a larger one belonging to a much more confident adult‚ as I took in my surroundings. The flashing lights‚ the music and screaming all had me gawking at anything and everything that my eyes happened upon. What caught and kept my attention were the rides that seemed to torture their occupants. It still amazes me that average‚ ordinary people eagerly trade in the serenity and security of

Of all the places I have been so far in life‚ I have to say Iowa is by far my most favorite place. It’s where I was born and bred and I try to make it a point to go back and visit at least once a year. I grew up with my parents and five siblings on a farm in rural Iowa. “Iowa ranks first in beef‚ pork‚ corn‚ soybean‚ and grain production” (Department of Economic Development)‚ so you can imagine how busy farm life is. It didn’t seem fun as a kid‚ waking up at the crack of dawn to do chores before
