my eye I see a set of antlers walking through the brush. It was my first time out with my bow. I’ve been shooting all summer for this moment. I have a choice to make‚ draw back and try shooting through branches or let him go for another time. The first time I can remember shooting a bow was when I was at an outdoors day with my grandpa and I thought it was really fun. When i was in 5th grade my grandpa got me my first bow. At first I couldn’t pull it back. That night when I went home I was so excited

I learned from a young age that life is tough and it’s not a given. Coming to the United States from Gambia in 2005 on a cold winter day this country was nothing like what I had expected. It is assumed by all Gambians that America is the Holy Grail but that is not accurate. From my first day I have had to go through hardships to fit in. My accent was very thick. My teeth were out of place and the kids at school didn’t hesitate to comment on it. I consider these hardships as something that many people

I can’t recall the day I first met my husband. I had seen him at work for a few weeks‚ and I was beyond intimidated. He strutted around the production floor of the food manufacturing plant where we both worked. He was a supervisor with a reputation for being hard and demanding‚ but his crew was loyal. He had a long goatee and even longer curly dark hair‚ which when not in a bun‚ fell past his waist. His hair had orange stripes from a hair bleaching gone wrong. When combined with his massive

Wednesday afternoon and I was walking towards my car. I got out of class early and was heading home to get myself ready to spend time with my bright and intelligent students.

Perhaps it feels this way because of all the things that are going on in my life like family‚ friendship‚ relationship‚ community service‚ and homework assignments. I feel like I am very busy that I often do not have time for myself. However when I arrived to El Jardin

The day I first learned to ride on a snowboard was a monumental moment for me. Days of falling on my ass turned to weeks‚ into months‚ until finally I did it!

I let out a howl of joy as I conquer the cruel mounds of snow and ice. Making a quick turn on my board sends me flying to the ground in a knot of tangled

said he was going to bring them in because we couldn’t. So then we jumped out of bed to check our bikes to make sure there wasn’t any damage to them. We just left our bikes outside because the sun was out and would dry them for us. So to start the day was bad because our bikes had water everywhere. So after checking them me and my brother went back to our room to go back to sleep. We were about to fall back to sleep and our mom came back in our room yelling again. She
