I have always known my brother was different. From the day he was born he was hooked up on beeping machines and glow fingers‚ he wasn’t on them for very long but enough to make me always remember the way they sounded. I knew he had a scar on his chest‚ I knew he looked different from me. I always just wanted to know why. I would never know why until middle school. Middle school was when I started noticing the kids that where different. I noticed the kids that screamed down the hall‚ the ones who

Living in one place for most of your life can have an affect on you. I spent the first fourteen years of my life going to the same school and living in the same city. It was pleasant knowing that you had someone you could talk to. The thing is‚ you can only do the same old thing for so long. Halfway through my eighth grade year‚ my mother gave me the news that we were going to be moving. She told me‚ “It’s not a far move‚ simply just to the next city over.” At first I attempted to come up with advantages

Leonard Morse 12/21/2010  Personal Narrative Short Paper How I had to learn to swim. Learning something new for me can usually be somewhat of an experience that’s frightening for me at various times in my life. One of the most difficult things that I had to do was learn how to swim because I was pushed into a pool when I was around 12 or 13 years old and it scared the daylights out of me. I was afraid of deep waters‚ but after being pushed into the pool as horseplay

The Wildest Experience of My Life Carl S. Fricke English Composition 1 So my last weekend before being deployed has finally arrived. I wanted to do something exciting‚ extreme - something I never would have imagined doing before – something that would take a lot of heart to do. Maybe even could be called a little crazy as others told me. Skydiving was something I had never done and certainly had never thought of doing until now. After doing some research online‚ I found a place only an

My Graduation Graduation day is something many people will never forget. One of my biggest moments in my life was the day of graduation and the weeks leading up to it.

The Missing Melody I woke up in the middle of the night with a sweat all over my face. “Oh‚ it is such a horrible nightmare I had.” I said to myself. I lighted the candle in my room; the small frame gave me a warmer atmosphere; so I felt a lot better. I tried to continue my sleeping but I had a strong sense that there is something wrong. And what made me frighten until my heart beat faster was my sense is never lie to the reality. Nevertheless‚ I felt asleep again with my doubtful mind. Three hours

Thump. Thump. Thump. The pounding of the door awakened me in the dead of the night. Distinctive voices were calling through the door. I lay in my bed quietly as I heard the footsteps of my mother in the hallway. Lights went a blazing‚ lighting her way‚ some spilling into our room. Then I heard a door open and more feet shuffling into our quiet home. “Police‚” said an unknown voice‚ so loud and so clear. “Put your hands up in the air and get down on the floor.” My mother moved to obey the order

True friends are like diamonds‚ precious and rare. False friends are like dirt‚ found everywhere. Friendship should never be a difficult thing; it should always be the easiest thing in life.

A true friend is a hand that is always holding yours‚ no matter how close or far apart you may be‚ someone who is always there and will always‚ always care‚ a feeling

Mount Elenor I was laboring up the Sierra Buttes trail‚ my pace devouring the miles‚ when I first met Elenor. I’ve been hiking the trail every Labor Day weekend with my family‚ for over 7 years; I know how challenging the trail is‚ I’ve seen a number of hikers turn back without even making it half way. I was astounded when I happened upon Elenor inching her way up the trail. I thought there was no way she could make it to the top‚ she’s simply too old. Elenor proved me to be incredibly wrong‚ to

The Power of the Tongue The quote‚ “Live each moment like your last because tomorrow may never come‚” is commonly overused‚ but the truth behind it is shocking. As an emotional and indecisive teenage girl I would often scream‚ “I just want to be an adult and be able to do what I want already!” At the time this seemed like a logical statement‚ but adulthood came faster than I imagined. The many quarrels over extended curfew‚ cleaning my room‚ or going out whenever I wanted are now humorous memories
