The Incident Of The Air Ticket Counter From Delta Airlines

It was about another half an hour before we finally landed in Orlando, Florida. The first thing we did when we got off the plane was gather our bags at the bag lot. We then proceeded to find our 15 passenger van that we had rented for the week. It took about another half an hour before we finally had found the van.

It was a nice summer morning we I was all of a suden shoke like turbulence on a plane to wake up. It turns out I slept threw my alarm to wake up for the day. It was about 11:00 am and today we were heading to Florida and our flight takes off at 1:00 pm. You may think that we had time to make the airport in Milwaukee but, we had to drive all the way to Chicago, Illinois because there was no flight for Florida in Milwaukee. Luckily I had packed the day before with the rest of my family so all we had to do was wait for our aunt Lisa to take us to the aiport in Chicago. She showed up five minutes later with a mini van and there was about seven of us jammed in there. It was alright for me because in our family if you called “shot-gun” or “I

I was having the time of my life with my friends at a bike rally in New Port Richey. We all decided to leave and go to my house for a pool party. Everyone got into their cars and off we went. I have the music blaring and Erik and I are signing every song. All of a sudden a silver lift truck blow through a stop sign right in front of me. It was happening way to fast for me to do anything but slam on the breaks. The truck ran over the hood of my dinky Hyundai Elantra. Erik was sitting in the passenger seat with the seatbelt not buckled and a beer in is hand. The beer spelt all over the car.

There was this one time my parents and my family went to LA, and I was here. They went to go watch the Dodger game. They left and I was here with my grandma. They stayed for a week in LA. It was actually pretty good without them. They were there on a nice vacation. The last thing they did is go watch the dodger game. After they watched the game, they went straight on the car and hit the road. I know for a fact that none of my siblings like wearing their seatbelts, so they don’t ever put them on. What my father told me was he was stuck in traffic for almost 2 hours. After he got out of traffic, he then started accelerating the gas because he was relieved that he got out of traffic. Then a car comes out of an exit and he cuts off my dad. My dad

When we got to the airport our plane got delayed because of bad wind. We ended up staying at the airport overnight. Then we made it home and dropped our parents off at the funeral home.

we lived in a small deserted town with a population of seven hundred and sixteen. it was made of three blocks that use to boom with depressing, vacant tenants with no purpose in life but to figure out why they were present in this tundra-like hell. everyone fucking sad but simple. at this time every year, a wicked snowstorm

It was passing time between fourth hour and fifth hour, and i was running late for fourth hour. “Crap” i thought to myself as i glanced at a clock in the hall. I as walked the halls i notice it was much much quieter than it was before fourth hour. The silence was so unusual for my school, there was almost always someone in the halls talking. As i rounded the corner in to my locker’s hall is picked up so speed, and there i was

One day after a 12 hour shift working in tempe i was on my way home and was a bit drowsy from lack of nutrition and the sun beating down on me for hours. I still remember every little bit of this day. The sun was just starting to set over the White Tanks. Around 6:35pm i turned down northern ave to head home. Thats when it started; out of no where a van lost control and swerves across his lane into mine. The whole incident was in slow motion, I slammed on my breaks and tried to get off to the side of the road to avoid what couldve been a deadly head on collision. Getting off to the side had avoided the head on collision however it didn't stop from the inevitable crash. My truck was going around 45 mph around the time of the impact. I could see the passenger's eyes widen as i got closer and closer to his side of the

On June 4th my life changed forever. My alarm went off at 6:30 normally it goes off at 8:30. Heart racing, I’m shaking; I hop out the bed and run into my parents room. “Mom, mom wake up do you know what day it is “I said. “ Ugh Bina it’s too

 My eyes opened very early that morning. I looked out of window and saw beautiful weather outside.  It was cold wind.  The flowers in my garden were smiling at me.  All of a sudden my eyes got watery.  I remembered that this was my last day in California.  I was going to America early the next day morning with my parents and family.  The day was Saturday, 20th December.  Tears were running down my face.  I went downstairs; everybody in the house was sleeping.  They had been packing until late night and I didn't want to them wake them up.  Therefore, I went back upstairs.  I just started thinking about how I was going to leave my house, my friends, my relatives, and my

Early one morning Derek’s power went out and his alarm clock did not go off. The other boys waited for him but he did not show up so they assumed he was sick and left without him. A few hours later he woke up and realized he was late. He threw on his clothes and bolted out the door. Because of Alaska’s time zone it was pitch dark when he started his journey. But he carried on his journey just like any

It was 10 p.m. when we first pulled up to the school, there were kids scattered all around, huddled in together to try and stop the cool bite of the night from getting them. Each child was surrounded with the luggage they were asked to bring; each one filled to the brim with anything that might be needed for the long trip ahead. You could see the parents and family members trying to baby their child while they still could; before they would need to say goodbye to them and send them off. The night seemed to go on for forever, everyone filled with worry, excitement and anticipation, waiting for the busses to arrive; and once the busses arrived there was no turning back. Finally, everyone was settled, the suitcases and instruments were secured, and the big white beast that was the carter bus started to fill with whispers of excitement and anticipation for what was going to happen 19 hours later when arrived to New York City.

It was the night of August second. We pull into the well-lit parking lot of Barnes and Noble. My younger sister and I jump out of the barely parked car and run to the door of our little safe haven. It is the place I love to be, sitting on the carpeted floor in front of shelves of alphabetized young adult novels. As I sit there, I scan the books for the next story I can escape into. A story that will help me shut the rest of the world out for a couple of chapters.

I was playing by myself, running like crazy. For a 6 year old child, malls are boring. So I was trying to have fun by myself. Malls in USA are dangerous for little children, especially if the child is foreign. In addition, there were lots of kidnapping cases in LA back then.While I was trying to have fun, my mom was shopping; so it was my father’s job to look after me. But as always, my father had something more important to do and ignored me. Only in a second, I realized that I can’t see my parents. The eye connection with my father was lost. I tried to look for him but because of the crowd I couldn’t. I was alone, trying to find a way.

As we drove to work we were discussing meetings we each had for the day and the workload that awaited us upon our arrival. We talked about the not so important yet pressing matters such as what we would have for dinner and if our schedules would allow us to meet for lunch. We had turned onto East Lancaster and were headed east, less than a mile from work, when things began to change. Traffic was moving a little slower than the posted speed limit and the black truck in front of us made a dramatic jerk from the inside right to the left hand lane. I was about ready to make some derogatory remark about his driving when I
