My Memorial Day : The Story Of A Memorial Day

It was a normal day in New York city. I was playing basketball with my friends in the park. When I went up for a dunk, and I got fouled and flipped around and snapped my leg. My friends were saying “get some help now.” While was setting down on the floor crying, holding my leg. When my friends called the ambulance for help.

It was May 23th, 2015, two days before Memorial Day. This weekend was also the Pacesetter Soccer Invitational. It was the 1st game we had played in the tournament and I was going in for a tackle. I put my right foot in front of the ball to get it, and the girl kept going. She knocked me over because she was a lot taller than me (surprise). I hit the ground so hard. She kept dribbling, but I knew I could not give up. I got back I could not catch up with her because there was a shooting pain in my back.

It was a Saturday afternoon and my sister and I were bored so we decided to race down the driveway. She was on her moped and I was on my ripstik. We started counting down three,two,one, at two Mackenzie cheated and started going down. I intended to jump into the grass, I landed in the middle of the driveway. While I was in the air I came down and landed on my side. My sister came to see what happened, she saw a puddle of blood where my elbow was, she said that it was like a person had dumped a bucket of red kool aid all over the pavement! My toes looked like my little sister creamed a bunch of red lipstick all over them. Also my waist looked like someone took a knife and cut all of the skin off. After this all happened my sister ran

Alright Alright, It's memorial day and it is still 1000 degree with no end in sight. This may be the end of the world and we all cook to death... who knows. As I cannot convince any of my buddies to get out of there air conditioning safety bubbles, I sit inside too contemplating what to do. Being inside seemed to be the only option for myself and I wasn't too thrilled. It was time for dinner and as the food was cooking I looked at my phone to see my weather app and the snapchat weather people inform me that there was rain coming. As Zimmerman was just getting hit by rain, people south of me were running from tornados which actually seemed pretty entertaining and better than sitting inside bored.

For most, Veteran's Day is a day meant to honor those who serve and defend our country. Many restaurants offer special discounts and free meals for those who choose to dine with them on this day. Unfortunately, not all of these free meals go as plan. In fact, one Texas Chili's is receiving a lot of criticism after the manager took back a free meal from veteran Ernest Walker this past Friday.

Summer is here! The sun is out, the air conditioning is blaring, not to mention the humidity is through the roof. The only problem is my skin is as white as Casper the Ghost. Something had to be done about this as soon as possible. I was on a mission to become flawlessly tan instantly. There ought to be something I could buy that could achieve this. I went to the local Walmart the day before Memorial Day weekend without any clue of how I was going to accomplish this feat.

On June 26, I was at the Chicago airport waiting to get on an airplane after participating at a conference. We had just been informed that our airplane had been delayed, due to the fact that we were going to be in the Honor Flight. I had no idea what that meant so I was absolutely shocked when I got on the plane and saw that over half of the plane was full of veterans. During the five hour flight I mostly observed the veterans, I realized that the majority of them were elderly and they all presented themselves very bravely, and happy. This made me think about all of the passed away veterans and

For a while my cousin, Jasanta, decided to swim with me. My sister, Lexi and my mom went somewhere. I’m not sure where though. There was a rope bordering the area of the water we were supposed to be in. You were allowed to go past the rope, but you were warned. By the

So I go home after the big game and my mom said school was cancelled. That morning I make huge stack of pancakes. Then I go swimming for 2 hours with my dog. My dog is jumping

I took a quick shower and did an enormous cannonball into the pool and when I was swimming I seen a new dive and so then I tried it out and I did it perfect for the first try.

1.) I walked down to the edge of the water and dipped my toe in. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Jason grabs my arm and pushes me in the pool!

I slide in the water, I look around and give John and Connor a look of excitement, The whistle sounds, I put my head down grit my teeth and chug my way to the center of the pool like a train pulling out of the station. Andrew got the ball, I look over to him, he passes it to Connor. We set up our offense, we are in the middle of

Hopping out of bed, I got dressed and quickly grabbed a protein bar while I ran out the front door. My shoes scuffed as I sprinted towards the lake, slowing down by the trees. Being a stuntwoman, I practice different flips and challenges during any free time available. Castaway off the tree, cork on the wet, green grass, and finally I did a butterfly twist into the refreshing, clear lake. The bright blue sky shone above me, hitting my back like a heater on a cold winter day. I was wearing a black Under Armour muscle shirt, and light blue jeans. That outfit got drenched, but without caring, I kept swimming.

I went upstairs by my dad and my sister, Ashley, and kept bothering my mom saying, “Let’s go!” Then finally about twenty minutes later my mom came out to the living room and said, “Let’s head out to grandmas and grandpas.” I bolted down the stairs and put on my old, white, sneaker shoes.
