"Ahh!" The sounds of joyful screams and laughter filled the air. I could feel the warmth of the sun on my face as I looked up to see the huge Disney castle in front of me. It was our first time at Disney World‚ and the Florida sun was strong. My mother handed me fluffy pink cotton candy‚ as we walked around staring in awe at all of the rides and sights. There were huge Disney characters walking around‚ posing‚ and taking pictures with children and their families. Balloons in the shape of Mickey Mouse’s

was awoken by my cousin and all I felt was excitement and exhaustion. Right away‚ I called my friends to wake them up. There was no “Good morning‚ Janie.” on the other end of the phone call. The only greeting I got was drowsy voices saying‚ “Yeah‚ I’m up.” I hopped out of bed‚ running on only 3 hours of sleep. My body wasn’t ready to begin this journey‚ the excitement in me was the only thing getting me through Monday morning. I arrived at the middle school and immediately found my friends to make

My parents are illegal immigrants‚ I have no shame in that‚ and they are some of the hardest workers I have ever seen. I was born in Dallas‚ Texas‚ and lived in the city of Pleasant Grove for the first year of my life at my uncle’s house. Most people refer to that area as the “hood” but here I am.

“Something deep in my character allows me to take the hits and get on with trying to win.” If it wasn’t for the beautiful game‚ I would’ve never possessed this character that allows me to be so determined and willing to fight. I would have never found my passion to compete or for being a goalkeeper. Through all the broken bones I had over the years from jumping and diving I never once complained‚ I always aimed to finish. ‘’No one was going to wear my gloves!’’ I thought. My injury’s started

I was so happy that we had a five day weekend‚ this week. I don’t know why I felt like this week went by slow. We got our first progress reports on Wednesday and I wasn’t extremely happy with my grades.

A split second after‚ I found myself curled up in a ball‚ grasping my ankle while my eyes started to water. Seeing as how it was our pink-out game‚ my tears began mixing with my makeup‚ creating miniature pink rivers streaming down my face.

It is normal for children to desire their parents’ love and attention‚ especially for a kid like me who grew up with a single mom. At the age of four‚ my mom was my whole world. I thought she felt the same way until she announced that she would have a baby. I would not have accepted the fact that my mom could divide her love between me and my sister.
