Today was June 4‚ and the bus was coming to a halt in front of my gray‚ two story house. I threw my backpack up on my shoulders and grabbed the black French Horn case sitting next to me. Starting at the sunny blue sky‚ a warm sensation was on my skin. Not long after‚ me and Josie had passed the first seat. We quickly said thank you to the bus driver‚ Joel. And jumped off the bus side by side with a wide smile on our faces. We were both free from school for a whole weekend. Without any sports or sibling

The scent of bleach was overwhelming in the room‚ but I knew by the second week it would be covered up by the smell of musty children and chalk dust. I could not wait for my new teacher to stroll up to me‚ eyes full of amazement‚ and give me my paper. I had worked hard on it for nearly a month during the summer prior to this new school year. My writing skills were top-notch‚ of course. Looking around the room at my new classmates‚ it was easy

box and stored away. My teacher read interesting books to my class. She would take two weeks to read a 500 page book. I enjoyed cuddling up next to watch each expression she expressed. Every couple of months my teacher set up blanket forts and let us read independently all day long. We’d read beside the light of a lamp and bring our own pillows to lay on. This was my favorite time of the year. From there‚ she let us write stories and read them aloud. My teacher helped develop my love for writing.

I had mentioned to my Supervisor how much he makes‚ and that his wife must make a lot‚ because the Supervisor had mentioned various times that his wife worked at a school. I know that school jobs are part of the government‚ so they pay well. Also‚ my sister was a school teacher‚ and she made good money. I mentioned that to him to show him that he makes a lot with two incomes (his and his wife’s together). I just make about $10‚000 net pay a year. He’s already doing well‚ especially with two

His body was attacking itself‚ and all we could do is sit there and let it happen. When grandma came‚ she always showed up with bags of weird gluten free‚ dairy free‚ soy free‚ flavor free foods. She was convinced that everything we ate just made my fathers symptoms worse. Now‚ I do agree McDonald’s probably made everything

plain‚ I could feel my bare ankles stinging from the stirrup rubbing against them. We had been riding for a solid three hours in the unbearable heat. Suddenly I felt my body falling backwards‚ my horse was running. I grasped onto the horn for dear life. Thinking back‚ they did not teach me much about how to ride a horse before I jumped on‚ so I had absolutely no idea what to do. “Should I jump off?” It seemed like a valid option because my horse was heading right towards my mom’s.

Tears streamed down my face. Each falling in time with my rigid breath and heavy sobs. One never forgets a night such as this. A night spent in the halls of the oncology ward‚ just feet away from a woman who I loved‚ and who I would never get the chance to tell. I remember this experience vividly. All the way back to the moment I found out my Aunt Kirsten had stage IV breast cancer‚ which marks the cause of the most grievous night of my life. At approximately 11:30 pm‚ the world quiets to a whisper

My Traumatic Event It was the first week into my sophomore year; I thought I was going to have such a fun and careless time‚ I had just got out of a very bad relationship and for the first time I felt free and in control of my own life. Until the day that my traumactic event changed my look on life‚ and made me open my eyes to reality. I had walked over to my friend Mykayla’s house the morning before school. As I walk in the door Mykayla says “Hey girl I’ve got some good stuff for you.” Me:

My anxiety has been an obstacle for many things in my life. I can’t talk to people I don’t know. Everyday things‚ such as ordering food at a restaurant or walking down the street next to someone else‚ become things that would make you quake in your shoes. Do you know that feeling when you miss a step on the staircase‚ and for a moment‚ you think you’re going to fall and you get a jolt of fear? That’s what I feel like‚ almost all the time. It affects social situations most of the time‚ but it’s also

The crisp fall air lapped my face like a little puppy licking a boy. The air felt like a little leather whip was hitting my face constantly‚ giving me burns. But of course I knew it was windburn. I was sitting up in my favorite tree. I looked into the distance and saw the brown‚ red‚ and yellow leaves coming down from their trees and bushes. This time of the year was usually my favorite. Fall was my favorite because of the beauty and the colors. But not this year. I will always look back as long
