One time I learned something about myself was when I was in California with my family. When I was about 15 years old, I was boogie boarding with my sister. While I was doing this a big wave came in and it pushed me under and I got separated from my family and my sister. I didn’t realize that I got separated from them until I decided to get out. Being separated from your family can be a stressful event but after that I learned many things about myself and how I should react in a situation like that

able to ride a wave that goes on forever. My dad on the other hand resented the idea of surfing behind a boat, as he put it “there is a certain connection that you feel when you have paddled all the way out and you are waiting for a wave to come, and then you feel the wave starting to form.” He is the type of surfer where the connection with the ocean is the most important part of

The first splash of water hits me, a cold rush enlivening my whole body. I thrust my joy against the weight of the sea, and climb on. My wetsuit clad legs dangle in the clear blue water, as I squint at what’s in front of me, looking for the perfect wave. I start paddling, my fingers brushing

One of my favorite places to go is Hilton Head Island. From the smell of the fresh breezy ocean air to feeling the soft sand sifting through my hair. This place is significant to my childhood because I have traveled there for the past eight years, and Hilton Head possesses a great deal of memories for me. When I was younger, my siblings and I decided to wake up at the crack of dawn and make my youngest sister beg our parents to let us get in the pool. They would always say it is too early but

Lab #2: S and P Waves This lab experiment's purpose was to simulate how P and S waves move through the layers of the Earth. The guiding question for this lab was, “How are S and P Waves Different? How do S and P Waves travel differently through the surface of the earth? What can this tell us about what’s inside the earth?” There are two different waves that are found in the Earth during and before an earthquake. P waves, or compressional waves, are the first wave to arrive at a seismic point. They

A sound wave is a disturbance that repeats regularly in space and time and that transmits energy from one place to another with no transfer of matter. In Activity 2 on page 8 we had to model sound waves using an instrument. In our class we used a flute as the example and when the person blew into it, sound waves were produced. As they blew and changed the volume and pitch the sound waves changed. A sound wave is created when something vibrates. When something vibrates, longitudinal waves are created

strolling out to the vast void of nothingness, when my mom exclaimed at me, "Billy, the wave is coming.... Come inside now!" I shouted in despair, "Ok, mom I'm coming!" I rushed as fast as I could, but as I was exploring my own mind, I didn't really know how far I had journeyed. I thought to myself, how much time I had, I wasn't in harm's way. So, I just stood there, staring at the exquisite "Black Wave of Death" well, that's what I like to call it. I stood there, as if nothing were wrong.

The smell the sea and blood filled my nose, my ears were ringing and my heart was pounding. I felt alive, for the first time in my life, and I was prepared for anything. Our leader, Artemisia I’m sure was feeling the same. I couldn’t believe our leader was a woman, but she was cunning and swift. She was far more intelligent than any man I’ve known, she led her vessel into battle with force and with a plan. Our plan was to fight and win, nothing more. However, in the distance I noticed a vessel
