I absently look at the time on my watch‚ “Sure. I’ll meet you around eight or so. Stub and Herbs?” “Stay strong‚” he salutes with a fist. “Army strong‚ Sergeant‚” I smile and continue walking toward the Arby’s down the street. I check the time on my phone‚ class started fifteen minutes ago. May as well make a few bucks to get by‚ I shrug. I cross the Arby’s parking lot and walk next door where a gaggle of crackheads‚ homeless and welfare check recipients all chain smoke in front of the small

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 up. My trips to the seashores reminded me of being home. I remember packing for a picnic on the second day of January 2003. It was a family BBQ for a New Years celebration

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.

When motivation is scarce‚ there is only one thought that brings me out of my cozy‚ warm bed and to my feet. Waiting to be made is a fresh‚ boosting cup

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

The Wounded Soldier A blast of cold air hits on his face like the blade of a shredding knife. Bodies of fallen comrades and enemies lay all around him. The smell of flesh from both sides of the war together with the dust and smoke almost made him sick. He has never been more aware and cautious‚ cowering in fear at the sounds of machine guns. The thought of reuniting with his family is the only hope that gave him the strength to continue‚ allowing him to forget about the inclement taste

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

Christian Bible Conference located on Long Beach Island. The first time I went there was in 2007. The view from when you walk in there is the ground is covered in shells‚ there’s a big lodge with lots of apartments where people stay and a gorgeous dock with beautiful sunsets to see. Last of all you see the beautiful sand with the volleyball courts and people talking and kids playing and occasional dogs running around. When I was old enough to remember and do activities at Harvey Cedars it was an

Treacherous. Freezing. Hazardous. Beautiful. Deadly. These words and many others‚ were used by the early explorers to describe Antarctica. It’s significant beauty in its glaciers and landscape is flawed by the cruel weather and soul-reaping crevasses. Yet many magnificent animals such as penguins and seals have learned to thrive there. Brave explorers and expedition teams have traveled to the demoralizing southern continent for fame or to claim the land. Many did not return from Antarctica with
