I awoke on a cool summer morning, at first I wasn't completely there but then, a chill of excitement ran down my spine as I realized my family was going camping today. I ran down stairs past the mountains of camping supplies and clothes to talk to my parents in the kitchen. They said we were leaving soon and that I should start packing all of the supplies into our trusty old Ford Expedition. After about 20 minutes of packing our SUV to the brim with all of the things we would need to survive in the wilderness for a few days, we said goodbye to our three cats and headed for Steelville Missouri. Grandpa was one of the first people to find Red Bluff and start camping there. He has since passed away due to pancreatic cancer but my dad carries out his tradition every year.. I always see this look in my dad's eyes when we get there that I can never decipher, a look of nostalgic sadness. Maybe he's thinking of all the times he's been there and all the memories or maybe he's thinking about his dad, I could never quite tell.
It is easy to tell we are getting close when we go through Cuba, Missouri. One of our dogs, Dory, met her beginning in cuba. We had stopped at a Mcdonalds to get lunch before we headed back home when out of

We always get in a battle about which spot to set up at, we all have our favorite. These sites act as a nostalgic memory bank whenever I see them. I can remember all of the great times we've had at almost all the sites. This time my family let me pick, I already knew what spot i wanted. The spot I loved was the one right by the crystal clear Huzzah River. This spot had its own rocky beach and view of the iron-stained, rocky red bluff. My favorite spot is tucked away in the back of the state park, nestled in a nook of trees and grass. A concrete fire block with a smoky cast-iron grill sat at the center of the site along with a picnic table
The night was another quiet one , the morning even more quiet . No more family sit downs at the table , just coffee brewed from whoever wakes up first and help yourself to breakfast. I sat outside the porch with my coffee , first day of October with the fall feeling in the air , I was looking at nothing , I pulled out my cell phone and decided it was time to tell Trever my input on who is doing this. I heard his phone ringing , but it went straight to voice mail , I left a long message explaining everything , hoping this will get him to look into her.
This was the last town we had to cover. I whooped as it came into sight. One more town and then I could go home to my dear ol’ ma and pa, my Louise. Everyone was optimistic, laughin’ and messin’ around, ready to go home.
When it was midnight, we loaded the car and drove through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. We stopped at a few places to grab food or gas. It was a long time, but it was worth it when we finally reached our condo. It was beautiful! We went to the balcony to see the ocean and it was crystal clear. The beach wasn’t crowded either. We hurried to put on bathing suits and sunscreen. Then we walked downstairs to the beach. The sand was warm and felt great. My sister’s and I ran to the water and
There are only two people in this school who I can enjoy hanging around in school, not including Hope or Felix of course. Those two people were Cendric and Silica. They where twins who had moved to this area just a few years ago. They both shared hobbies with me, including reading, VRMMO's, anime, and above all some peace and quiet. Nothing beats some peace and quiet every once in a while.
When the two men went to the same car dealership to see who would be helped in a decent manner, the salesman of the same racial descent as the African American tester, Glenn, was completely ignored. The white American tester, John, got help within the first few seconds of browsing from the same African American salesman that ignored Glenn (Harvey 1991). I was also surprised that Glenn was assumed to be attempting to commit a crime when browsing the record store, despite no obvious suspicious acts (Harvey 1991). Even when the two show the same need for assistance inside a store or in a parking lot, Glen was always ignored. Even the prices of items John asked about almost doubled when Glenn asked. Furthermore, when interviewed for job positions Glenn got lectured upon laziness, being late, and drug abuse, despite the preference on race over a criminal background (Pager 2007). Lastly, I was surprised they didn’t see who would be more likely to get help or hired in an inner city.
I have started, stopped and come back to this email on numerous occasions over the past few days. So while I could parse my words a thousand different ways, fuck it, I will attempt to be concise which will hopefully translate to clarity. No promises though.
I've got slightly confused about when I've booked my meeting for. I wrote on the spreadsheet a time for 4:00 to 4:10, but when I clicked on the other link in your email, it suggested a meeting for 8:30. Is that a automated suggestion? Or is that the time when you are free? Sorry to bother you! I've just got a little muddled with the program!
He laughs and my heart skips a beat. Where did all these mushy feelings come from, I wonder. I've never been so … so lovey-dovey in my life. I am not sure if I like my own behavior. However, I do like kissing and touching my elf, that's for sure.
I felt happy about the game I thought it was very interesting and eye opening. The practice and simulation of real life situations was quite the brain storm. I did very well by my own standards I was able to survive, surprisingly but at the same time I was not very surprised since I was thought on how to spend money effectively. My streets smart helped me survive a lot because I come from a poor country, and no my family was fortunate enough to live a good life in a poor country. But I was still around people who were hungry, begging, and homeless. Through these experiences I’ve developed street smarts, and I was able to effectively put it in to this exercise. If I was a single parent, and had no money I would use a lot of resources that are
One Luminous and Sun-drenched morning, my father had a significant idea of going hunting to one of our secret hunting spots, I was all in for it. I rushed around the house very dexterous of all of the things i needed for the day, jumped in the truck and gave my friend a call, to invite him on a trip up Mauka. after we had left his house, we started to head up the mountains, but i had forgotten my shoes, so quickly we turned around and headed back down, i had a abysmal feeling that it was not going to be a good day.
When I arrived home, I decided to take a shower, hoping I would escape reality into the hot water for a few minutes. My Mom was already busy at home when my Dad arrived home from work. As I turned off the faucet and the steam lifted from me, I surfaced back to my desperate reality I found myself within. It brought me comfort like a warm, fuzzy blanket to a small child. Dad and I reviewed all the enormous amount of potential questions one last time. Now, It felt like my stomach was doing somersaults as I put on my full Scout uniform. My Mom gave me a big, bear hug and wished me good luck with a soft kiss on my cheek. Suddenly, I felt the bile rise and fall in the back of my throat as we drove
One of my all-time favorite places to be is Camp Caraway. Every year I go to this camp, and most times it’s the highlight of the year. The campground is located in Sophia NC. We go every memorial weekend. The three days there are so amazing, but I do really wish that we could stay longer. Right, when we arrived my sister and I start celebrating and cheering. We get so excited most of the times my parents start yelling at us.
Excitement ran through my veins. I practically tumbled down the tinsel covered stairs in my red and green striped pajamas pants and my favorite red shirt with a my favorite reindeer on it. As my hand touched to golden handle butterflies flue around my stomach. A cold breeze brushed pass my face and loneliness filled my body. I took two steps outside and looked around hoping he was there.
On a bright sunny day in the middle of summer, I woke up wrapped in my warm fluffy blanket with a dog. With my mom saying, “Austin wake up your cousin will be coming visiting us.”
The buzzing of my alarm woke me up from a deep sleep. Just as I was about to hit snooze I remembered why I even had my alarm set. Today we were moving to Helena, Montana. Throwing my tie dye covers onto the beige carpet I leaped out of bed and went straight to my window. Opening up the purple curtains I saw the moving truck was already out front and most of our furniture was already inside. Looking around my room I realized this would be my last morning waking up in this house. It would be my last morning waking up in Utah to. Knowing I need to get dressed I head towards my closet to grab the last pair of jeans from the shelf and a shirt from the clothes rack. After getting dressed and doing my usual morning routine I walk out of my
