As my friends and I set camp up I had become excited for the nights

reflect on the last fishing trip the two of us young bucks spent along the secluded shores of the Little Manitou River. In many ways‚ this last trip spent in the coniferous forests of Minnesota’s Arrowhead Region‚ really envelopes who Tim was and why I so looked up to him. The whole trip began with a simple phone call. I was engrossed in marking up the many pages of a poorly worded sophomoric essay on the virtues of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby when the phone shook my caffeine-laced nerves

clutching the hands of my dad‚ walking barefoot on the rocks atop this river was taken on our family’s trip to the Grand Canyon. We were balancing on goo-covered pebbles above the waters of the roaring waters and towering‚ majestic canyon- the highest in the universe. Actually‚ believe it or not‚ this particular body of water wasn’t even the real canyon. It actually was a pretty insignificant stream trickling through the Sedona Desert. You see‚ my mom decided our family should go on a trip to the Grand Canyon

My School Trip In the 1990s‚ I went to Regent elementary school in the Bronx‚ N.Y and was a B student. I wasn’t an honor roll student‚ though I believe I could’ve been if I had put in the effort to do so.

There are not very many big things in my life that have changed the person I am now but I think that my first trip to Hawaii may be one of the very few events that have. I think that through this experience I have since loved exploring and traveling to new places which is a quality that I think is a big part of who I am. On the night of my birthday in December of 2014 as I finished opening my last present my mom went upstairs‚ when she came back down I noticed she had something in her hand. As she

small memory follows you for the rest of your life. This is just one of those things‚ and even though it’s small...I’m perfectly fine with that. During the summer‚ I was able to go on a mission trip to Cass Lake‚ Minnesota; where we stayed for about a week or so. One of the most significant parts of the trip‚ for me‚ was on our last day when we went to a senior center. On that particular day at the senior center‚ we made birthday cards with the elderly there‚ and everyone was paired up with an elderly
