Trying new things can be tough. Facing our fears is something many people refuse to do. I had to face my fears this past weekend‚ when my family decided to go on a skiing trip. I woke up around seven thirty or eight o’clock on Sunday morning. My mom‚ younger brother‚ and I stayed at my mom’s boyfriend’s house the night before. The original plan was to get up around five in the morning to get to the ski resort earlier‚ but we ended up sleeping in a little bit longer than expected. My mom woke me

It was a perfect day for me‚ I couldn’t think of anything that could ruin it. I made new friends when I made the basketball. Until I got home that day. As I walked into my house I noticed something strange. My father was home sitting on the couch and as fast as I could I tried to remember if I did anything bad I couldn’t remember the last bad thing I did at school‚ then a million more thoughts rushed through my head as I remembered the C on my report card. When my dad called me in a serious low

The pain that shot through my veins and in my leg was like when I try to lick soup that has just came out of the stove. The agony I felt when I realized my feet weren’t straight told me that I was in trouble. I knew I had to do something because if not I would be left stranded on a mountain. I will never forget the moment I broke both of my ankles. The wind blew in my face as the fresh fallen snow was packed and hardened‚ leaving a perfect trail for snowboarding. As a novice snowboarder racing probably

In the middle of the night‚ I woke up sweating and gasping for air I squirmed under my sheets as if they were large white hands‚ intent of choking me in my sleep. Taking a deep breath‚ I tried to calm myself down. I spent the rest of the night exhausted‚ but not willing to slip back into sleep. Finally‚ the sun rose from beyond the rolling green hills on the horizon. I rapidly got dressed and tried to smooth down my rumpled plain gray clothes. Every girl or woman on the whole Island of Alphaya‚ my

Anything‚ but normal would describe my eldest son Donald‚ or as he prefers Donny or Don. His timing was impeccable when he came into this world two weeks early on opening deer hunting weekend. By the way‚ nothing stops an opener in a family of avid hunters‚ not even a baby. His dad was there to see him into the world for about a day. Back then‚ it was common practice for a 7-day hospital stay after a C-section‚ talk of postpartum blues‚ I cried the whole time. When I look back‚ I see a sweet‚ happy-go-lucky

Moving I was quieter than usual as my family piled into the car. We were going to go see our new house. The house I didn’t really know how I felt about yet. My parents had always talked about moving into a bigger house when I was younger‚ but I never thought it would actually happened. I couldn’t think of any reason why we needed to move. I liked our current house just fine--with all the fruit trees and the small backyard‚ and the room that me‚ my older sister‚ and my brother shared. Plus--moving
