Back in 1981, my dad, uncle, aunt and grandpa all helped work on building a shack in the middle of the woods. At the time it was built, none of them could have imagined what it would mean to the family today. I bet, back during that summer, they were only concerned with where the deer were, but although the deer have moved on from that area, the shack still sees widespread use. Now days, we use it for a place to sleep before going out duck hunting because of the Willow River and the many logans that surround it. On the contrary, the shack gets used for one, non hunting event, every year: the spaghetti feed. Because of its importance, the shack is instrumental in bringing the family together.

If you drive from the south in Elkins headed toward Davis and Elkins College, at some point one of the historic landmarks you will observe that stands out to you is a glimpse of the beautiful Halliehurst Mansion sitting up on a hillside. The sight of it majestically placed upon the hill (Fig 1) gives any observer somewhat of a curiosity about the building. Visually there is a plethora of different aspects to consider when visiting this great historical building.

At Eastbay camp, the children of the United Methodist Church join together with the children of The Baby Fold. They form bonds that touch hearts and inspire friendships. The camp experience is tailored to meet the individual needs of each child. After all, God

Every year, The Barn Wesley Foundation provides us with the amazing opportunity to experience a connection with God at Timber Creek Camp. We are blessed to enjoy three days at the camp and share a unique, bonding moment with all of our peers from Perkinston and many students from other colleges who also attend the event. I have been able to attend this event twice, and each time has proven to be a wonderful adventure, helping each and every one of us surpass our difficulties and leave our burdens on Christ.

During the summer, I volunteer at the YMCA - Triangle Y Ranch Camp program called Operation Enduring Freedom. Operation Enduring Freedom is a program designated for young individuals whose parents are deployed, injured, or deceased because of their service to this country. I dedicate time to the YMCA Triangle Y Ranch Camp where volunteers pledge to give the children of armed-forces members an amazing experience. Volunteering with children is something I enjoy, which is why I have selected education as my career choice.

When they walked through the doors of the haunted house in the graveyard, it had an instantly spooky aroma. The door itself was wooden and starting to rot away and fall from its hinges, although that kind of describes the whole house, falling apart. To the right there was a small staircase with ten or eleven steps leading upstairs and a doorway below them leading downstairs. There was old furniture scattered across the old house but it was all ripped up or broken. To the left of the room was a locked door that was still in perfect condition and was reinforced very well. Despite the attempts of two of the four members of their group of four teenagers, the door remained locked and closed. Going straight through the arch in front of them led to the dining room which is where the bad things began.

The Abandoned house stood there, with fog rising to the sky. Lights flickered being the only light in the dark….. The fog dragged a cold breeze, that sent a chill up my spine, this house has been here forever and nothing like this has ever happened before, I gulped and strolled into the cold night fog. As I approached the house, the door slowly opens and a Shadow steps towards me. The weather just dropped like 40 degrees, I don't like this at all.

Everyone has a “dream house”, they just rely on your opinions and beliefs. You can have a modern dream house, or maybe a vintage dream house. You can also either live in the woods, in the city, or even right by the beach! You can be by yourself, or you can have lots and lots of roommates. You can have lots of neighbors, or maybe even none at all! You could live off of a mountain, or maybe on a paved street.

I have grown up a few miles outside of Ottawa KS. there is a population of about 12,000 in town. Though my hometown is small it has one of the oldest continuously running theater called “Plaza Cinema” opened in 1905 (It plays the movies too loud, least for me). There also some rather nice antique shops downtown the one called the “Front Porch” is my favorite.

The day I went to Panther Camp truly effected how I embarked my first year as a Panther. The experience surpassed not only my expectations, but also the majority of campers who were present. The bulk of the experience was about opening up and finding yourself. Whether it was from permitting yourself to be vulnerable and share past experiences from your own life or merely listening to someone else’s adversities. Allowing us all to discover who we are as individuals and broaden our perspective about the world around us. By the end of camp, nearly every camper felt like they came out of the Twilight Zone. It seemed impossible that in a three day span a group of people could become so encouraging of one another, which undeniably changed how I regarded myself for the better. Along with, learning a considerable amount about each other that it was as if we spent our entire lives together. In a sense, I found a family to being my journey with at

Another issue I have to reflect on is tax deductions on mortgage interest rates. I think such a deduction would hinder the benefits of owning a home. If tax deduction on mortgage interest was to be removed then the after-tax cost would increase which would reduce housing prices.  The removal of such a tax might entice me to buy a bigger home and then borrow beyond my means. This tax cut could discourage me from becoming a homeowner as well. As I mentioned earlier in this paper, incentives may encourage me to reevaluate my decisions. When a government offers tax credits it can be considered a benefit that will out-weigh the cost.

During 5th grade year of 2016, almost once every week my parents would go and look for a house. I would remind them everyday that the house we have is great and there is no need to find another. In that house I have lived there at least eight years, which is most of my life so far. Till this day it has always been my favorite house, and the perfect house. I have made so many memories there it is impossible to count. I loved it.

There was these people that had just got done partying and decided to go for a walk and they got so far and turned on what they thought was a road and it was actually a long driveway that led to a huge castle and they said well we came to a dead end and the other person said well why don’t we find out if anyone is in this castle and if not why don’t we party some more. But come to find out a bad person lived there but they turned it into a tour house. Well what they don’t know is that the people who turned the house into a tour place likes killing people. So the people decided to go and knock on the door and no one answered but they tried the doorknob and the door knob was unlocked and they went in and looked around and still found no one the people who own that house decided to hide behind the house in the garage where all the saws and tools were and the people still walked around the house and finally they were all back together in the dining room and all of a sudden all the lights go out and they look
