It was a warm summer day in Florida. I wake up and crawl out of my bed. My feet are chilled by the cool, slick texture of the hardwood floor. My mom is calling me to come eat breakfast with the rest of the family. We were at our family beach house on vacation (a family ritual that we have been doing for the past five years). I greet everyone at the breakfast table as the aroma coming from the food draws me in. I sit down. On my plate sat three freshly baked pancakes, two crispy strips of bacon, and
Painting the warm tangerine Indian sky, the sun retreats for the day. A swirling mist envelopes the cacophony of the city, ushers in a soothing touch to a highly humid atmosphere. The zephyrs simultaneously clear the bituminous asphalt by stealing away decayed leaves and wilted petals. They whirl around, lingering as if caught in a vicious catfight, to finally disappear into the vast unknown. The silhouette of the sinking sun descends faultlessly into the almost placid lake, its waters stirred only
beach volleyball and have a delightful dinner at one of their top quality restaurants not far from the beach. So, we informed my parents about our ambition to drive out the beach for the day and the special ideas we had planned ahead.Then, we hurried to the room and put the proper attire needed to have a spectacular day. On the way, we jammed out to some new hip hop songs and sang till we got to the beach. We set our blankets on the soft sand and gently laid
snowboarding trip to Colorado. We stay for a week in the beautiful city of Breckenridge. On Christmas eve of 2016, my family awoke to one of the most beautiful and visually pleasing days of the year. It was about nine o’clock when I looked out the window and saw the fresh, powdery snow that seemingly floated down from the sky. What a day, I thought to myself. I wondered how I was so lucky as to see such an aesthetic scene after only just waking up. After watching the snow sail gently through the sky for a couple
Willow was excited to go to the beach with Evelyn. They were going to have a fun time there. The day was sunny and hot. The water was going to be cool against their hot skin. There were some clouds in the sky and a slight breeze. Evelyn parked her car and they both got out. When they got to the end of the cement stairs, Willow started to run to a shady spot in a secluded part of the beach. Evelyn started running to try to catch up. When they both got to the shade, Willow threw down her t-shirt, shorts
It was a hot summer night on July 5th I remember it was a day after the fourth of July. Arianna sent me a text asking to come over because she was bored and she complained how she hasn’t seen me in two days. Meanwhile i asked my mom if she could come over and stay the night. My mom was concerned because it was about eight fifty at night, but she didn't ask any questions she just picked up her keys and hooked the dog to her leash and told me to tell Arianna we were on our way. Arianna only lives two
Ring, ring, ring! It was an ordinary sunny monday morning. Rushing out of bed as usual, throwing on some colour clashing clothing, chugging down my tasteless bowl of oatmeal, and running to school, hoping to make it on time. The moment I stepped into school, I felt the monday blues, I was dreading for the weekend to come. At that time, I was only in grade five, all I knew was that school would only bring me ecstasy and never predicted the misery side of it. Nevertheless, I continued to drag myself
The Defining Days I remember my parents always trying to make sure everything was perfect for me when I was little. They always made sure that I was taken care of. I remember my dad having to carry me from the couch to my own bedroom every night when I was four because I wouldn’t fall asleep in there. I remember my mom staying in the Sunday school room during the service at the First Congregational Church in Sioux Falls with me when I was three because I didn’t want to be in a room full of strangers

Ford airport in grand rapids have a lovely snow day” “Hannah!!!!” my grandmother exclaimed “Grandmother!!!” I exclaimed back Let's go to my car now hannah your outfit just will not do for this cold here have this jacket it will fit you” As we stepped outside I was aghast the snow seemed to cover
at all. It’ll only make our jobs more difficult in this harsh downpour. As a matter of fact, my parents have been waiting for this day ever since they made their choice. My voice didn’t matter as much, so I had two choices. I had tried preparing myself by opting for one of the choices. However, that wasn’t the case on moving day. My day started like every other day. Laying in bed and unwinding until you have the energy to actually get out of bed and be productive. Except, it really wasn’t. It was
