Have you ever been on a vacation? To me a vacation is a time to be with friends or family. When I think of vacations, I think of packing, the flight or drive, and relaxation. Not only is it very exciting to go on a vacation, but you get closer to the people that go with you.

Sophomore year, I joined my High School's division of Kiwanis Key Club. The club prided itself with their devotion to community service. I thought that the club would be a great vehicle for me to assist my community while creating and expanding my relationships. However, I was greatly disappointed in the club my Sophomore year. There appeared to be little leadership present, so hardly any community service successfully took place. I made it my goal to gain a leadership position and turn the club around. Junior year, I was elected as President of the club and was re-elected to the position my Senior year.

Summer is the time for vacations, adventures, and relaxation. However, some family trips can be unpredictable. There is one particular family trip that comes to mind. We got up early to pack up our twenty- eight foot pontoon boat with everything we needed for the day. Summer was in full swing. We were excited to spend the day at the lake with family and friends. Today was the day we were going to try Lake Roosevelt because we heard that it is the perfect place to swim, boat and relax. Just as we turned the corner to pull into the parking lot of the lake, we hit our first bump in the road of unfortunate events. We actually really did hit a bump and ended up getting two flat tires. Unfortunately, we only had one spare tire, so that was a

I had a great summer break. I did a whole bunch of fun things over summer break. I traveled to cedar point we rode all the rides there. We climbed on another ride till there was no more rides. We almost rode them twice it was so much fun to go to cedar point. Then we played games where you can win stuffed animals and toys. They had a place where you can buy food and drinks. We left at elven o clock didn’t get home till twelve o clock at night. Next as soon as I got home we went to bed. I will go all the time we will travel to cedar point. I am going to go next summer to when we get off again. We also went on a train to look around at cedar point. My sister and I rode all of the rides. My mom and dad didn’t ride all of them they just watched

It was a normal day I got home and my mom was there. “She told me are you ready?” “I said for what?” She exclaimed “You’re going to Norris Lake!” I was super excited because I was going with my friend from my soccer team Trey. I got packed as fast I can and they picked me up. The only problem was it was 101 degrees and a 8 hour drive. About halfway to the lake we stop at a restaurant and get food. We went to Wendys. After that we would drive and get gas and about 10 minutes before we get there we stop at Walmart and get food for the entire week.

The best part of being an eighth grader is being the head of the school and having many privileges. This year had some good times like convincing kids that Kyle Shultz was santa and my all girls team in gym won the whole olympics at the last second. Our class used to be separated to where certain groups of people didn't talk to others but this year our class really bonded. One of my favorite things that our class did was when we were on a bus to give gifts to sibly kids, we all shouted out of the bus windows,”MERRY CHRISTMAS!” to everyone we past and we caroled at every house we stopped at. My favorite activity in eighth grade was the powder puff football game against the seventh grade girls. My dad was the coach and quarterback. He made amazing plays and he threw the ball from endzone to endzone. The game ended in a tie but at least I got an interception and touchdowns in the game.

When the waitresses started rushing in and out of the cockpit I knew that could only mean one of two things. The plain is crash landing, or the plain is crashing. I turned to the person next to me, and told them I might see them up there. She looked like a tiger was standing right behind, I guess that’s the kind of fear crashing can invoke in people. What worried me most was the fact we were closing in on a bridge of some sort. If we were all going to die in a fiery death, the least reality could do was contain itself to us. The plane started descending quickly, then started violently dropping from the sky. The only sound I heard before the crash was my wife’s voice saying behind me saying, “It was fun”. I woke up to the sounds of screaming, fire, and the numbing in my body. My body was close to going into shock. I quickly swam to the voices, which were on top of what looked like one of the wings. Trying my best not to panic, once I was dry I noticed there was still a lady in the water. I thought about it, but my body just reacted. The next thing I knew I was in freezing water again, dragging a hefty woman through what felt like quicksand. Out of the fifty people who began this adventure, only six (including me) remain. Beginning to think all our time is up, I saw a glimpse of hope fall from the sky. It was right in front of me, but for some reason I couldn’t take it. The rope instead

500 days of summer is a story where a boy meets a girl, he falls in love with her yet she does not truly love him. The movie shows the progression of the relationship of Tom and Summer. It begins when they first meet when Summer begins working as a secretary where Tom works and progresses to them casually dating. Summer is obviously hesitant and against relationships yet Tom is overly eager to find the perfect girl. The story ultimately shows the demise and after effects of their relationship. At first thought anyone could think this is the typical love story where the movie casually progresses to them living happily ever after. This is not that kind of fairy tale love story.
