One dark‚ chilly September night everyone was gathering at the school for an assembly‚ but as my great grandmother was getting ready‚ and walking down the ramp at her house‚ she fell. She went to the hospital and was diagnosed with pneumonia and had a broken wrist. Little did I know that in a couple months would come the most terrifying day of my life. Many weeks passed and it was now November‚ my great grandmother was still in the hospital with a cast on her wrist and still fighting pneumonia.

I woke up earlier than my brother as every other day of the week. I took a fifteen minute warm shower. It left me with twenty five more minutes to get dressed‚ have breakfast‚ brush my teeth‚ say good bye to my mother and get in the car no later than 7:05.

I took the math test and did pretty well at it.

The Worst Day of My Life...With Sprinkles on Top Even though it is the correct texture‚ believe me when I say that caramel sauce makes a terrible hair gel! The time I spent working at my uncle’s ice cream stand was the worst six hours of my life. If I had had any idea how work would effect my sanity‚ I would have kept my mouth shut and never asked for a car Working part-time to pay half the car’s cost‚ and letting my parents cover the remainder‚ seemed like a splendid compromise. My job seemed

One day that changed my whole life. I was 25 years old when I was diagnosed with cancer.

I had been working on it for almost two years‚ I grew to the level that I could easily record the dance steps and I built up the necessary condition. In fact I lived and breathed dance and style but nearing the summer of 2007‚ I was getting really fatigued and wasn’t able to attend

personal VABEs within my own experiences and in everyday life. The first situation that occurred where I was able to identify my personal VABEs took place a couple of weekends ago. I was at a bar with a large group of my friends celebrating our mutual friend’s 21st birthday. We were obviously drinking alcoholic beverages and a friend of mine decided he was going to attempt to drive home. My personal values of not breaking the law or even putting other’s lives in danger‚ my assumptions that driving

When thinking about my best vacation‚ my mind goes back one year ago‚ when I spent Christmas in Timisoara. It was the first time when I have celebrated Christmas in another place but home.

“Run! You got this Hannah!”‚ shouted my dad. Hearing him cheer me on urged me to play tougher‚ run faster‚ kick the ball harder. I passed to one of my teammates‚ she scored‚ and the crowd went wild. I turned towards my dad and saw his smile explode across the field making me feel like the utmost adored person in the world. This was my junior year. It has been three months since my father abruptly died. I spent time with him on Sunday and he was gone on Monday. I felt desolate‚ heartbroken‚ and resentful

watched my mom run herself ragged to try and support us. She was finishing her college degree‚ while working two jobs and raising me. My parents had just gotten divorced and I was scared and sad and didn’t understand what was happening. My mom and I were incredibly tight on money‚ and things were terrifying.

A Day in the Life of Versailles Louis XIV Dear diary‚ Today was such a tiring day! I was woken up very early in the morning‚ and as usual I went through my every day morning routine.

A procession formed in the Hall of Mirrors‚ and they followed me out as I walked across the Grand Apartment to greet the crowds. The choir of the “Chapel Music”

My perfect day would start by me waking early — 7:30 am is early‚ for me — feeling refreshed and restored. I haven’t had a relaxing night of sleep in months and often awaken far later than I had planned‚ feeling guilty‚ stiff‚ and still sleepy. After a hot shower and a shave I’d put on a comfortable outfit‚ including nice socks (it’s amazing how wearing a pair of nice socks can improve my day)‚ comfortable jeans‚ and a tagless t-shirt (really‚ the ones without itchy tags in the back of the neck
