It was a normal Friday spent at home. Not many of my childhood experiences can I recall a clear enough picture of every detail like I can with this one. The start of the day was like any other. It was a nice, sunny, and calm morning. I slept in, ate a bowl of Cheerios for breakfast, and got changed into my favorite pair of shorts with a tank top. My parents were not home because they were on vacation in Florida. My sister was in her room, so I decided to invite my friend Brooke over to spend the night. It was around noon when she was dropped off. We spent the whole afternoon hanging out and doing typical twelve-year old girl stuff. I remember giving each other makeovers, riding the four-wheeler around the yard, jumping on the trampoline, …show more content…
Thankfully, my mom answered on the first ring. “Hey sweetie how is everything going?” my mom asked. Cutting her off quickly I replied, “Mom, something is wrong. I think someone is breaking in. The alarm is going off and Brooke and I are in the basement. We don’t know what to do.” My mom began asking me questions, wondering where my sister was or what time the alarm went off. She talked to my dad and he was going to have my uncle come check on us. Repeatedly my mom said, “Do not hang up the phone and keep talking to me.” Brooke and I moved to a more hidden area in the storage room so that we were less seen. We were crying continuously. The alarm had stopped after several minutes but that did not stop us from thinking the harm was gone. I was still on the phone with my mom and she told me that my uncle was on his way. While patiently waiting, we heard sounds coming from upstairs. Both of us were uncertain which sounds were actually real or in our imagination. I heard what seemed to be footsteps across the kitchen floor. Still not knowing what or who it was, we did not move a muscle. Our bodies were sitting in silence; but our hearts were beating faster than ever. All of the sudden I heard someone yell, “Hey Janelle and Brooke, you can come out now!” At that moment I had a sense of relief go through my body as I recognized the familiar
1.1 – Explain the factors that need to be taken into account when assessing development
A few years ago cheerleading was a huge part of my life. I was on two competitive teams that worked hard three days a week to perfect our routines. When we were not practicing we were encouraged to attend open gyms which were aimed at practicing our tumbling skills. I attended the open gym being held one day not knowing that it would be my last. As I landed a one handed cartwheel my knee was twisted so drastically that I heard a loud pop that followed up with intense pain. After icing it and resting for a few days, I started to interpret my pain as being more serious due to the fact that it was giving out on me while doing daily tasks. I also had two close friends that had torn ligaments in their knees that needed repaired with surgery, so
I never would think about showing an animal. I decided to go wild and show a steer my junior year, I did not think about showing an animal so big before but it was worth the wild. I knew it would be hard work, dedication and responsibility. I worked so hard to get where I wanted that steer and it sure did pay off. Being successful is something that someone feels when they work for something that they tried so hard on and then succeeded in it. Success is the way I felt when I was getting ready for the show while I was standing to be called in my class and how I felt when I got out of the show ring.
I could tell you so much about me like I have moved 3 times with my mom but never with my dad, or I could tell you more about when I lost my cat Egon but that is not what I am going to tell you about. Today I will be telling you about all about me.
It was late, but that's when the woman preferred doing her workouts. Yoga seemed the perfect way to end a day -- stretching, relaxing, ...... . She walked onto the large mat and stood in front of the mirrored wall. She removed her black jacket and let it fall to the floor next to her. She felt slightly self-conscious in only a loose tank top and bun-hugger shorts, but she knew she'd be alone. She began by doing a few simple stretches before moving into her yoga positions. She began with the Downward Facing Dog. She closed her eyes, feeling the stretch along the back of her legs. From this position, she moved her feet farther apart and brought her hands to grasp her ankles as she moved into the Wide-Legged Forward Bend. She let her head hang,
As a student, I have always handled the pressure of schoolwork and tests by preparing, organizing, and staying ahead of the game. I study for every single test and I practice for every piano, singing, orchestra, and ballet performance. I always plan ahead for the simplest things even in my personal life. I plan my Halloween costumes in August and my December birthday in September. Therefore, preparation gives me confidence and assurance that I will perform successfully. Little did I know that I cannot always control or prepare for every situation. In the December of 2012, someone threw me a lifeline and changed my attitude.
It was an ideal day to do an inquiry for my social study project. And to face death. Not that the two have anything in common. When you hear the term “sudden death,” you don’t expect there to be an actual loss of life, but there was nothing ordinary about that day. It was the day that affected everyone’s life. It was September 10, 2018. It’s not natural when in one flash you are doing a typical class project and, in another flash, something clicks your brain. Bahm! You then start acting like detectives. Suddenly everything falls as you come to realize the truth.
I was ten; it was my first year and first wilderness trip at Camp Birchwood in northern Minnesota. Four other kids, three counselors, and I had been canoeing for three days through the Boundary Waters, a vast network of lakes on the U.S. border with Canada. I’d been camping countless times with my parents and friends, and thought my fit at camp was perfect.
The air was cold, bone chilling cold. A day like any other, or so we thought. We had just moved from Sedona, a small town in Arizona that was known for its beauty in the nature. We left because my dad got a new job as an electrical engineer at some big company based out of Ohio.

Ethan got the Strawberry Banana Pancakes. We left ihop got in my car and went on
“You’re OVERWEIGHT” I have always been told. My mom was overweight most of her life as well and she wanted better for me. She never wanted to see me struggle as much as she did. My father was an alcoholic around the time I was born so mom raised me as a single parent for the first few years of my life until she meant her now current husband. She recently just emigrated from Haiti at the time, and she was trying to settle a life in America. I was looked up to my mom; she makes me realize that ambition is more than anything. Growing up, I always struggle with my body, my self-image. Every time I looked in the mirror, I have never liked what I have seen, how tall I am, how my arms looked, how my cheeks looked in comparison to my nose and my mouth, how my stomach fell from the
This is my third day in Greece, it is 8:30 am. I had barely woken up in my hotel room since it was still morning I hurried out of the hotel to eat breakfast. With my bus ticket, I set off to a restaurant named Flavour Business Resto Cafe. I decided to order 2 egg eyes, three slices of bacon, rustic sausage, toast ham-cheese, pure orange juice, and coffee. All together my breakfast cost me $7. 50, once I received my breakfast, I sat at a nearby table and began to eat it. Just after I finished my breakfast, I went to the Museum of Cycladic Art, it was only about 10:30. I entered the museum with my admission pass that cost $7. 00. Immediately upon my entrance to the museum, I was amazed to find that the museum has a mix of ancient and modern art. Afterward, I learned that the museum contained a large
Every other day, Esther’s mom sent her to fetch the eggs for the kingdom. The kingdom of boredom, strictness, and no fun. Esther remembered when she was a kid and there were no responsibilities, just fun. The kingdom deemed that kids could have fun until the age of 16, when maturity and responsibility was expected and it was believed and ingrained in every one’s minds that fun was only for the children. That’s how work got done. You had fun, then you were put to work. Never to step out of line, never to have fun, never to be different. Queen Natasha, Esther’s mom, believed in adhering with the rules. She followed and stood by every rule formed, invented, and passed down from the generations because according to her, that was what worked. Esther always tried working, but her mind wandered to practical jokes and
As we swiftly hopped in the car I started to panic. In my mind there were unimaginable things. Is she going to die? Does she feel good? What was going to happen to her? As I glared at her she looked out the window with a melancholy look on her face. It felt like 100 years passed by when we finally reached the doctor’s office my aunt quickly explained to the doctor what was going on with her daughter my cousin. After a few minutes in the waiting room we were transferred to the back where they checked Cynthia’s weight, blood pressure, and her heart. The doctor then passed us to a room and she drew blood from Cynthia once the results were in the doctor said you have to leave now take her to the children’s hospital. My aunt stopped and it was
If I had anywhere else but in school, I would be a place I enjoy so much, I do not like it when i'm at home doing nothing. I always like to be active, so if I can pick to be anywhere but in County Prep, I would be in an indoor basketball court playing with my friends. The reason I would pick an indoor basketball court because we do not need to be worried about any outside distractions and the main reason is because the ball can go in the streets. As lame as that sounds it's where I find happiness and playing one of my favorite sports with my friends. One of the main reason I rather be in an indoor basketball court with my friends because anywhere I go with my friends is a good time but when we always meet up at the park or an outside basketball
