When I got fired from my job over the summer I realized there wasn't a lot to do. I was bored. This led to me exploring the woods around my house.I found lots of things, old oil cans, empty budweisers, and coyote traps, but the biggest thing I found was a trailer. It was old and rusted, the door holding on by one hinge and a couple screws. The windows were smashed and the roof caved in. It was narrow inside but it went back pretty far. There were stained walls that sectioned off the trailer into five equal rooms. Each wall had a door, most of them were closed except for the last one. On the inside it was strange, it looked more like an office than a trailer. There was plastic tables lined up in rows. Each table had a phone on it, they were …show more content…
I just ran. Before I knew it, I was out of the trailer and walking back down the trail. That’s when the real fear set in, it’s strange how you feel so open and exposed walking on a trail. The trailer was sitting there it looked almost evil. I turned a corner and it disappeared out of sight. But the feeling of being followed remained. The trail was almost a trench carved in along a steep hill one side it sloped down and you could see a small pond. I began to visualize what could've happened. The different ways it could’ve ended. I wanted to go back and see if someone was really there, but I knew that would be a waste of time. I summed it up in my head as the wind pushing the door open. I still constantly turned back, looking over my shoulder to see if there was some truth to what I thought, if something was actually following me. It was a windy day out and as the wind the blew the trees would creak and crack. Branches fell off and slammed on the ground crashing down and taking other branches with it. The sound was amplified through the quiet and almost sleeping woods. It was strange, there were no animals, no squirrels or chipmunks. The woods were dead. I was still looking over my shoulder every now and again, still startled by what I had experienced. The walk took way longer than it should’ve. It felt like the seconds were minutes and no matter how fast I walked I couldn't keep up with the pace in my mind.
We greeted each other with kind respect. We met on the trail when his wagon broke. I offer to help Curtis Mick Colloni with his wagon. We exchange each other name and we left. I knew he was a skilled doctor and he he would I left the place and I ask Curtis if he would like travel together. As I was walking, I saw Hunter. I ran up to him and greeted him. I met Hunter Norm Cline during the trail when it block by a log. There was a lot of people and together, Hunter organized the group to pull the log. I ask if he would like to join me on the way to Oregon. He said he had 2 other family going on the trail and ask if I would join. He also mentioned that he was the leader of the group. I merge with the group and together we form a wagon
If I were to be able to take, one book, one food item, and one famous person, dead or alive, with me on a deserted island; I would take Where The Sidewalk Ends, by Shel Silverstein, a GIANT bag of broccoli, and Ben Domian, an Air Force Reserve Survivalist. I would guess that this deserted Island would have trees with fruit in them or coconut trees. I would also assume that the person I had chosen to bring with me, they would have the same three options, except they would have to choose me to go with them since they were already chosen. That being said, they would be able to bring food as well to sustain themselves and a book for entertainment. If we were to combine our resources, we would be able to survive until help comes. Compiling our resources could also mean that when we finish our book we could switch and read each other's books.
The decisions we make and the actions we take have voiced our characters for us, and our spoken words have exposed our perceptions. At one point or another in everybody’s life, one will strive to become someone, to make something of him or herself. One is limitless in what one can evolve into, but how to get there is another matter. The destination is just that: a destination. There is no significance to a station if there is no link to it. Therefore, the result is no result if there is no way to reach it, and so Willa Cather had once said, “The end is nothing; the road is all.” And I am inclined to concur with this writer.
“Without patience, we will learn less in life, we will see less in life, we will feel less in life, we will hear less in life, ironically, more and more usually mean less.” ~ Mother Teresa
Today, my team of two, Kadeyn, Jasmine, went with me to the lowest area on this Earth, the land alongside the dead sea, and started to dig. We we dug 38 kilometers into the crust with a huge shovel contraption attached to our capsule., and as we went through, we saw huge pockets of the mineral Halite, which Jasmine kept licking for “the greater good of science”, and also saw lots of sedimentary rock which we took samples of.
“We can go on a hike and have a picnic. I know a trail that at the end of it there is a gazebo that looks over the forest. We can go on that trail.” said Lauren and Kyle’s mom.
It happened in an instant. There was a light, misty rain. The road was wet, slick and covered with gravel. I had driven home this way one thousand times, but today would be different. As I steered the car through the slow, wide right curve my tires hit some wet gravel. Maybe the low setting sun got in my eyes, maybe the radio was too loud, or maybe I was tired from a long day at school, but I took the turn too wide and the car started to slide off the road to the right. Panicked, I pulled the wheel and over-corrected the slide to the left. I swerved across the oncoming cars, jumped the car over the drainage ditch and landed into someone’s front yard. The car destroyed the lamp post, clipped the old oak tree, and spun around 360 degrees.
All throughout my adolescence development there were many moments that had shaped me to become the person that I am to this day. From my humble beginnings in Football to my personal service projects outside of school, life has taught me many lessons. In which case I will illustrate some as I reminisce my highschool career.
It was a chilly night before the last day of deer hunting season. At just the age of fifteen, I was in my house cleaning my cheap twenty gauge from Walmart. Using, a white grubby sock that had a long dark old shoe lace tied around it. I would insert my shoelace through the top of the barrel and slowly pull my sock through, till I saw it hanging a little into the ejection port to remove debris within the gun.As I was cleaning I kept thinking to myself how exciting this was going be, because if I didn’t get a deer this year it was still fun going hunting. After I was done cleaning my gun, I slipped the gun into its soft dark green case.I then set out my bright blaze orange vest, and my old brown hand me down coveralls

Bare feet slammed against the sun bathed sidewalk as we huffed heavy breaths, going on with our escapade. Tired of adults, my sister, cousin, and I decided to hit the road.
characteristics have shaped me into the person I am today. When I am determining to pursue
As I walked to the back, leaves crushed under my feet. The sun was setting, and the place grew eerie from the darkness. We set a fire behind the castle to make for a creepy effect. The flickering of the fire waved my shadow back and forth. No more than a minute of waiting someone yelled, “Trailer”, which ment a group of people that would be shooting at us was coming our way so we had to get in our positions, the night was about to begin.
Envision leaving home, the place you were conceived, just to move to another nation looking for a superior life, saying farewell to everybody you at any point knew, maybe until the end of time. It may be a 12-year old's most exceedingly bad dream. I gazed at the huge, calm bleak moon that night as my folks were stacking our sacks in the storage compartment of the auto. The crash of the entryway shutting influenced my heart to drop. At the point when the driver began the auto, chills kept running down my back and it at long last occurred to me that we were leaving for good. "This is it" my sister said with a questionable look all over. I gradually thought back through the window, at my grandma remaining close to the entryway as though she lost all that she at any point had in her life, tears running down her face as she waved farewell. I glanced back at the huge house I experienced childhood in, where I made my first strides, where I figured out how to ride a bike, where my grandma showed me the most important lessons that I will always love. Her body appeared to be so fragile and frail. I cried on my sister's shoulder while she attempted to console me. The possibility of allowing my grandma to sit unbothered, without anyone else's input in that enormous desolate house essentially terrified me. I started to feel remorseful for the circumstances I had contentions with her and underestimating her since she was dependably there for us and dependably did her best
He then said well you know we was grooming you to take the new store we are about to open on Siegen Lane and I said yes sir but I'm sorry I will not be able to run that store and be as sharp as I need to be. He said ok let me call you back. We ended the call, which I felt uneasy because I know I won't be able to run the store like he wants me too, and would that make a difference of me transferring. I prayed on it and proceeded into my daily tasks. He later called back very shortly and said well Eddie, obviously your family is important and you need to do right for them and you have made your decision. Just go ahead and type me a letter of recognition and email it to me. At this point my heart just fell to the floor and I felt like the walls were closing in on me.
