I Was Hoping

swimmers. When I set goals that season this was one of them. Through the months, prior to this swim meet, I had to train for it get times and work hard. It would take a lot of commitment, sweat, and get the times to be able to smell the chlorine of that pool in Greensboro in March. The three things I am going to tell you about is how I got there, what happened when I did get there, and finals after. I was trying to get to sectionals and that was a big goal. After setting my goals I had to prepare

The Lost Boys What happened then during dinner was both unexpected and extremely unpleasant. Lieutenant kotler grew very angry with Pavel and no one except for Bruno-not Gretel, not mother, and not even Father-stepped in to stop him from doing what he did next, even though none of them could watch. Bruno then did something you wouldn’t normally expect from him. “NO!, STOP KOTLER!” shouted Bruno “Excuse you”, responded Kotler. “You don’t know what you’re saying.

I am hoping that this was due to the fact that my lesson was the last one to be presented and my peers were just burnt out. On the other hand, I truly enjoyed presenting and explaining

My disastrous date I never been one to go on dates or should I be truthfully honest, no one has ever had the desire to ask me on one. However It just so happened that the man that I have been crushing on for several months now, finally had the nerve to ask me on a date for the upcoming Friday. Being a single mother it was kind of a big deal to get away and relax for the night and have a nice dinner without chasing or yelling at your four year old to sit down and eat. I was anxious yet excited at

“The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

The story i’m about to tell you is not to make you feel dejected nor to have you

about it. What he was going to do, since he was standing in front of his favorite restaurant, was indulge himself in a plate of raw oysters in Michael's special wine sauce: a delicacy he heralded around the world, which unassumingly held forty-third place on the menu as – Stone Soup (which he never understood, either). As usual, everyone in the civilized world had decided there was no other restaurant on earth; there wasn't as far as Steve was concerned – just standing outside it was easy to smell why;

Chewing excitedly, he stood up, his eyes riveted on the order. “Beautiful,” he purred. “Thank you, Ray. Thank you.” I glanced around his office, not looking for anything in particular. It was just something to do before the inevitable. “What’s this?” he said. I looked back at him. He was holding the order so I could see what had gotten his attention. At the bottom of the order was the agreed upon delivery schedule, forty-five days. “Our turnaround is seventy-five days,” he said. “Didn’t you read

it has happen. My six word memoir was “looking up and hoping you’re there”. My aunt unexpectedly passed away last year in April. No one really understood and to be honest, I still don’t understand why this would happen. I got called up to the office, and my mom picked up my brother and I. She was taking us to the hospital to see her. I didn’t know what state she was in. Then we were brought to the Critical care unit, my heart sunk because I knew this wasn’t good. I prayed and prayed to God that it
