Beaches‚ pools‚ light traffic and no tardy bell - summer is the best! I have been lucky enough to cherish the extra time with my kids that summer affords‚ visiting libraries and museums large and small (Who even knew there was a fire truck museum or a printing museum?). But as my children grow I always forfeit some of the special season to sleep away camp. The benefits of camp go far beyond the bonding of bunk life. Camp can help kids in so very many ways: 1) Exploration At camp kids get

Hot. Humid. In other words‚ the usual New Orleans summertime day. Now all the local media were buzzing with the new Katrina tracking information. Many people were going about their usual Saturday routines. Some were still oblivious to what was happening. Greg had the kids. I got up‚ cleaned the house‚ and washed all the clothes‚ so if we left (I hadn’t decided for sure yet)‚ I wouldn’t have to do it when we returned. I filled up at a nearby gas station and went shopping. There was an eerie feeling

“3...2...1...Snow Fight!” I believe in snow. The small flakes of decorative ice that fall from as big grey sky. As they float down‚ it makes the wheels in my brain turn. As they turn‚ it brings back memories of running and playing in the snow and sledding down a hill that goes on forever. Even the small memories of laughter and cold runny noses. The best memories are after the fun‚ with hot chocolate and mini marshmallows that bob around in the dark liquid. The warm mug thaws my hands as I sit

Coming to America It was a cold morning on the 20 of December‚ that morning I woke up sleepy as a sloth. I didn’t have school that day and from my room I could smell the beans been cocked. The atmosphere at home didn’t feel right‚ I felt like if there was something going on and I was the only one that didn’t know. My mom and sister looked suspicious. My house was small‚ it had two bedrooms and one bathroom. My sister got on her blue BMX bike and went out‚ I didn’t know where she was going

Satou here. As a child‚ I was very fascinated by a dungeon game in my father’s collection‚ which was probably the reason I went into the game industry. I’ll never forget the triumph I felt when I obtained a super-rare sword in that game. I check the Map‚ which merely displays “Demon’s Dungeon: Lowest Floor”‚ but does not reveal the paths. ...Knew it wouldn’t be that easy. Anyway‚ for City Adventure to suddenly turn into Dungeon Attack‚ if this were a tabletop RPG‚ I should be worrying about the

The flood destroyed everything in its path and the next stop on its journey of destruction was my hometown‚ River Street. I still remember the sadness of leaving before the flood‚ but what I didn’t know was the heartache to come when I returned to River Street. Gazing

I was anchored. My boat rocked slightly from side to side‚ the waves shifted‚ but my feet were firm with my anchor rigidly planted in the ocean floor. I had discovered who I was‚ and it was exactly who I aspired to be: a girl with authority and the title to prove it. I was one of three freshman representatives of the Student Board‚ the prestigious and sought-after body of student government. The entire year I held onto that identity and knew it was only a matter of time before my incumbency kicked
