Fourth of July. They were going to have plenty of food‚ drinks‚ fireworks‚ and games for kids and adults alike. We could not resist a good time. I invited my girlfriend over and we all walked down to the festivities. We could smell the barbecue as soon as we stepped out of the house. They had a game called Cornhole set up on one of the front lawns. My girlfriend‚ Samantha‚ pointed out that some of the kids were in the pool out behind the houses in the adjoining backyards. The three of us made our

I was always with him and would never leave his side; I was more attached to him than I was to my father. We did everything together we went to the playground‚ he took me to work with him‚ and we would take our dog on walks. He was the most special person to me‚ and I will always have a burning hole in my heart without

My uncle has a big impact in my life. He has done a lot for me this past couple of year. First he has been to all of my football games. Second he pays for some of the food for the afterglow. Lastly he goes to all of the quarterback meeting for me. I was at the Douglas football game and it was a hard game‚ but I can always hear my uncle yelling and supporting me. He is almost always the loudest person on the sideline and that really motivates me to play harder and it makes football a lot more

My family and I went on a trip to Pennsylvania‚ Florida for my little cousin birthday. My heart was rushing and my face was lit up from the excitement that filled the room. I asked my mom can I bring two of my friends Patrick and Camarius‚ she said yes and all thirty two pearls lined up across my face. It was my first time traveling with my family and my last time. I never want to witness anything like the trip to Florida with my family ever again. As we drove up‚ I sat in the hard back seat with

My Most Frightening Day Most people don’t have any idea when their most frightening day will be‚ it could have been when they were young or maybe it has not quite happened yet.

I went to Israel with my family‚ cousins and some of the people who belong to our Temple to watch my cousin become bat mitzvahed in the middle of a dessert. It was the most wonderful experience that I had ever had and I will never forget about it. I was 11 years old at the time when I went. Originally I thought this trip would be miserable. On my way to Israel the flight was very long. It was about 8-9 hours. As we were on the plane I thought about how terrible the trip was going to be and how

There’s a certain moment in my life that really stands out to me. It was the day I went to Colorado. The day got out to an excellent start. It was my first time getting on a plane. My grandmother had told me the different ways the Navy and Air force take off. Our pilot was definitely in the Navy before because he took off going up as soon as he could‚ that was my favorite part of the flight. I was also thrilled that we were high up in the sky. Everything below was so tiny and we were above the clouds
