On Monday November 28, 2016, Leake County, Mississippi and other counties were struck with bad weather that lasted several days.

It was a boiling, steaming day. I was going to a friend's house at Goose Creek. When we were driving into Goose Creek, I saw a lot of interesting side by sides and four wheelers. Zack and I went swimming, and I almost Broke my foot. I jumped into a shallow part of the muddy water, and I could barely walk when I got out. When we concluded swimming, we went up to the lot and set up the pop up camper.

Between 12 and 14 inches of rain fell over a four-hour period in the mountains around the resort town of Estes Park. Unusual weather patterns allowed the huge storm system to stall over the area as it dumped its load. Which caused the river to overflow its banks.

I walked outside the next morning feeling great. The bright vibrant sun shone on the freshly mowed grass. I loaded into my sister's car and we went off to school. The day passed extremely rapid,

The sun was harshly burnt my face. I was at my uncle’s house that summer day just to hang out because he had some cool “toys” he wanted to show us. Anyway, there we were, me, my dad, and my brothers Aidan and Austin.

Obesity: one of the nation’s most critical health problems. “Overweight is defined as having excess body weight for a particular height from fat, muscle, bone, water, or a combination of these factors. Obesity is defined as having excess body fat” (“Centers for Disease Control and Prevention”). When energy input and output get out of balance, obesity arises. Many factors can cause someone to become obese such as genetics, metabolism, level of physical activity, and more. “Overweight and obesity are the result of “caloric imbalance”—too few calories expended for the amount of calories consumed—and are affected by various genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors” (“CDC Features - Obesity & Genetics”). “When a person eats and drinks more calories than he or she burns, the energy balance tips toward weight gain, overweight, and obesity” (“Understanding Adult Overweight and Obesity”). Obesity is increasing throughout the United States due to lack of healthy behaviors, big health risk, genetics and increasing in children and adults.

The temperature was in the negatives. Outside was frigid, but I was excited for school because I was going to talk about the Colts game with my friends. The day was normal, and I remember glancing at the clock around one because I was ready for math to be over. It was not long before we were on the bus riding home. I remember getting off the bus to see a police car and three other cars parked in front of my house. My sister and I walked around to the back and let ourselves inside. The door to the rest of our house was shut and the three of us were told to stay in the living room. I remember walking on the back of my couch practicing my balance as I looked at the clock hanging above the wood stove. Two of our close family friends and neighbors were in the room with us, but my parents were not there. I asked what was going on and they told me that my mom had gone with my dad to the hospital. I dismissed the thought because my dad had been to the hospital the week before, and thought, Oh, he is probably there because he is having another one of his headaches or back pain. We waited in the living room for an hour before they drove us down the road to one of my former babysitters, who we called, Grandma Jenny. I remember she had the TV on Final Jeopardy, but I was not interested. Instead, I sat on the floor in front of the couch and played with puzzle pieces. One of my neighbors pulled out his guitar and began to play songs that we liked. Later, my mom arrived, and I remember asking her if Dad was okay. She had just watched her husband of sixteen years kill himself. She looked at me with shock and sadness in her eyes and said, “I don’t know, honey.” Then there was a police officer knocking on the door. Looking downcast, he spoke quietly to my mom. She then came over to us and I heard her say three words, “Dad is dead.” I became overheated and all I saw were tears rolling down into my purple fuzzy sweater. I was wearing my favorite sweater and

One day me and a couple friends went to the homecoming football game, it was a gorgeous day outside for the longest time, there were a couple of clouds up in the sky but other than that it was a flawless day for a game. Until next thing you look up at the sky and you see more and more clouds coming in over your head. Guess what the warmest started getting muggy. Then it started to pour down rain comparable to when you or someone in your house is taking a shower, but imagine harder

Back in the day, when I remember of me being a child and it was one of the best moment I could think of my childhood that happened in the summer, where good time start it and not too far off that it sound it like that we played in the water and we figured since it is a bit hot outside i was going to six flags and having some fun with our family and friend having an enjoyable time. Few things I would say about my childhood was also the summer time, when the sun was hitting my body my mom used to worry about me a lot so I would not get dark so she would tell me to put sunscreen on all the time even on my face and in front of my friends but back when I was little I did not get what or why she was saying that but now I get it on why. Sometime when I didn’t wear the slippers my feet would burn like I was walking in a fried pan but I were to just walk in grass with my wet feet and then a few seconds later same thing happens again so it was not point of walking in the grass but I still walked. I closed my eyes one time because my mom used to surprise me with friends coming over, going to swimming and having a picnic and playing with the park dogs, it would be so much fun but we had this curfew time to get back home and the only annoying thing was the bugs and bees around us that were biting out skins off and making us scratch and the dirt we use in or the mud that we use to make sand castles out of at the beach. I tried to look up and see if I would be getting some shade anytime

One freezing day, my sister and I were going jogging. We ran in our bright jogging gear. My sister in a bright red and blue shirt, with navy green plush joggers. I’m in a slick pinkish orange shirt and blue joggers. We ran by the beautiful navy blue river, small white birds were cooing and squawking. We ran for an hour and a half. We both had so much fun, we were covered in sweat, and agreed the we needed showers. Before The long and cold walk back, we got some hot dogs with yellow mustard and green relish on them. We went back to sit down and dip our feet in the cool river. The salty hot dogs filled our stomachs. The bright yellow stars and bright white moon filled the sky. On the walk back the smell of blueberry muffins filled the air, i

Grey skies, grey clouds, it was raining, and it was quiet in my room. Slow soft music played while I lay on the bed daydreaming. The whole house was asleep. It was 7:34 AM, I always wondered, how my new school is gonna be like, I moved from Wisconsin to L.A in the summer, and I settled in, ready for this school.

    After I got out of the lazy river I begin to smell nachos and hotdogs.My stomach began to growl.We place our food on the table and sat down to eat. After I finished eating I flew back to the water.My body cool down from the steaming hot sun. By this time the park rides lines were extremely long. So I had to wait for a while to ride more rides but I still was excited.I began to rides over and over.

When I was five, we went to India for vacation. On our way back, we had to switch flights in Frankfurt, Germany. I was wearing my favorite shoes that day; they were squeaky on the airport floor. I loved the squeaky noise and I was doing it over and over, but little did I know that this happiness was soon going to come to an end. I kept inching along happily with my parents until I fell. I was looking forward to getting onto the next plane when the ground suddenly changed from shiny tiles to rugged carpeting. Since I
