I woke up early Saturday morning excited yet very nervous. It was July twenty-second which meant the day I found out if I could really ride. My boyfriend Zach and a couple of buddies from work decided that a trip to Haspin was the perfect way to celebrate Josh’s twenty-first birthday. It was supposed to be a big group that would go but ended up just being five us.
The drive down was fun and had been quite interesting. Zach and I drove separate so we were able to leave once we were done riding. Once we were close to Haspin we all started to do stupid stuff. At one point after we were on a back road Cameron had stuck his head out the window and just waved at us for a little bit. After that Josh decided to heed Cameron’s example and he sat on his window just grinning and waving at us. To join in on the fun I opened my sunroof and stood up. In the midst of us all just being dumb and acting ridiculous a car matt flew out of the truck bed and almost hit me. That was the start of our fun filled day at Haspin.
Once we got to Haspin I could not stop shaking with excitement and a little bit of fear. We had to sign waivers in order to ride. That to my surprise did not bother me at all. I was more afraid and nervous that I was going to embarrass myself in front of the guys because I did not believe I was going to be a good enough rider. I have always grown up riding 4-Wheelers but I never did anything like what Haspin was. We never wasted any time once everything was off the trailer.
The sky was always blue holding sunshine rays in her world. Her name was Rosaline Deponte, my great-grandma. The continuous smile that she showed on her face reminded us how precious life is and to not take things for granted. Cold wood floors that could easily freeze toes, single-walled construction, shut rows of jalousie windows, and the smell of warm sweet bread on the counter 24/7, that was Rosaline’s house.
The summers of 2013, I went to Cedar Point. It was me, my brother, my mom, dad, and my dad’s friend. My dad said, “we are going to get on all of us the roller coasters” and the rest of us said “ok.”
After an hour of waiting in line we finally got on the ride I was so excited. I sat in the front seat of the old run down cart it had rips and tears on the seat. The ride started out slow it was
My cousin thought this was just the funniest thing in world while I was on the verge of tears. Why is this ride so long? How long have we been on here? I yelled and screamed the whole time on the ride until it started to slow down. I opened my eyes and the ride stopped. Everyone unblocked their seatbelt and got off the ride. I stepped on the concrete. My legs were wobbly but I still manage to stand.
I thought, “What better way to celebrate your birthday, than to be at Disney?” This was one of the reasons I planned it around his birthday, I thought it would make it an extra special trip. When it’s your birthday, you can wear a big button pinned to your shirt that says, “Happy Birthday.” on it and you write your name on it with a Sharpie. Immediately after leaving our hotel room, hotel guests, restaurant staff, the bus driver, people on the bus, staff at the park, other guests in the park, they were all wishing Ian happy birthday. He was keeping count, (or tried to) anyway, as to how many birthday wishes he received that day, he lost track as to the exact count, but it was well over 50. I don’t think he will ever forget his 13th birthday. At the end of the day, Ian said, “This is the best birthday ever, Mom!” I said, “I think I’d have to agree with you Ian.” On his birthday, we spent it at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We had booked a reservation at the 50’s Prime Time Café, their menu boasted about the prime rib, meatloaf and fried chicken, good home cooking, like your mother’s. When we walked in, we were immediately transported back in time to the 1950’s. The diner had a checkerboard floor, old small black and white TVs everywhere playing shows from the 50’s, vinyl and metal chairs and mismatched metal tables, tacky wallpaper everywhere and ruffled curtains. There were old tin cut-outs of roosters, fish, birds on
“Lindsey get your butt down here right now! Before Luke eats all the waffles!” my mom yells from the bottom of the stairs.
It was a sunny day in the summer before my senior year and I was with two of my best friends, Dallas and Bryce. We had been gathering wood skids for our bonfire later that night. We got done around 3 in the afternoon and we had nothing to do, so we played video games for a little while. We soon became tired of playing video games, so we decided to go work on Dallas’s old 1984 Chevy pickup truck. Shortly after installing new parts, we decided to ride his dirt bike. Little did we know, this would soon result in a memory that we will never forget.
Every birthday is supposed to be special and happy right? Wrong. They are for sure memorable, but not necessarily in a good way. Do you ever have an experience that ruins something that you had cherished for so long? There have been lots of times in my life that I have been confronted with situations that changed the way I viewed myself and others, there is one distinct time that I remember abruptly changing my view, and finally learning some very important messages. On the particular day that my eyes were opened, my birthday, I had one of the most confusing, irritating, frustrating days of my life. A day I will remember for as long as I live. Birthdays were an event that I had so dearly cherished before this one, my 7th birthday, after that, they were ruined forever.
As my curly-wavy long brown hair lands back on my back from grabbing the nice warm, airy croissant with the sweet smell of warmth and honey butter hits my nose. I knew my brother was not as smart as he seems.
It was a dark, and gloomy day, and I was walking to the bus stop to head to his geometry class. It was the day before my birthday. I was so excited, I just wanted it to be here. All of his aunts, grandparents, and uncle’s were coming. There was just one problem, I didn’t know what he wanted to do for his birthday; I knew that all of his family would asked me what I wanted for his birthday. I was sad that I had no friends that could make it, but he new that his family all loved him. Oh I’m here. Just wait you will here what the other kids have to say about me being here.
I have always knew that this world hid secrets that most people did not know about, so I decided to do some research and decided to do something that is close to me.

I woke suddenly to the loud ringing of my alarm clock. I threw the covers off my body and slowly sat up, rubbing my eyes. A quick shock hit my body. I remembered that today is October 17; My birthday.
My birthday. Not a special occasion once a year. Rather, something occurring the day following Christmas, a much more celebrated day in almost everyone’s opinion. Certainly more likely to attract a crowd. Mother – sharing Father’s enthusiastic support – claimed my birth should have been on Christmas but the Doctor dispensed an anesthetic delaying her - and me. Both swore he went home for his family celebration. Perhaps he did.
This morning, I woke up to my mommy, daddy, and brother, Jacob, pounding on my door screaming, “Surprise.” Was it my sixth birthday? Had I honestly not remembered today was my day to shine? No, I knew it was not my birthday. So, what could my parents possibly be surprising me for?
