The Amazing Race

One of the best vacations I have been on is when I went to Las Vegas, Nevada, becuase it’s one out of the two vacations I’ve ever been on. I went on this trip with my mom and my dad. This was the first time my parents and I have been to Vegas. One of the main reasons we went to Vegas was for the Motocross Championships. We left early in the morning at 5:00 am to make out flight in Cedar Rapids. We flew to Denver, Colorado and then flew from Denver to Las Vegas arriving sometime in the middle of

Night john was a book about a escaped slave. He went back into the south to help other slaves escape. He taught slaves to be able to read and write. The NightJohn book was published in 1993 and the movie was created in 1996. There was bravery and prejudice even the feeling of freedom in this book and movie. NightJohn was a brave man even with the risk of slavery over his head. Freedom-NightJohn teaching literacy would mean a lot. In the south literacy was a huge advantage. Most owners thought slaves

America is known as the land of the free, the land of justice, the land of liberty. It can also be looked down upon. But there are so many other aspects, so many other amazing things that make America such a great country. When people think of America, they think of many things. However, in my opinion, America means equality, diversity, and freedom. America has a long history of the struggle for equality. Woman’s suffrage and black rights are the two main struggles that come to mind when the subject

Humans have been around for 200,000 years, and while this may seem like a long time, it is belittled by the fact the earth has been around for 4.5 billion years. In this time we have taken control of this planet and accomplished many other amazing feats but we still face one problem: long-term sustainability. There are a lot of potential situations that could cause humanity to cease in existence, three of which are climate change, loss of biodiversity, and loss of bees. People have been trying to

explore, leaving will be a challenge because it will begin to feel like home. We will be traveling through the mysteries of the great Pyrenees. Exploring the great nature and the entertaining all the amazing activities they have to offer. Imagine the wind blowing through one's hair as he or she races down the final hill. Victory is just ahead, as he or she takes their last few knee crunching peddles, the adrenaline shoots through them as he or she envisions the win. On our first stop on our journey

Ready. Set. GO!!!!! Not even a minute into the first stage of the 2017 Breck Epic, and my heart rate is bumping. I always love those "neutral roll-outs" that I have to work like hell to not get dropped in..... The real truth about this race, I'm so lucky to be here. I have the Amy D Foundation (www.amydfoundation.org) to thank for this. I would not have been able to be here without the Foundation's help, and it's what will keep me going all week.  As I have mentioned many times over, I am really

many new, fascinating people and amazing experiences. When I first joined cross country as a freshman, I had no idea that I was getting myself into four seasons worth of friendship and tradition. At first I did not enjoy cross country because I also did not enjoy running, but now running through Ukiah’s scenic trails, be it Low Gap or Lake Mendocino or Mill Creek, I have a newfound appreciation for nature and my hometown. Additionally, cross country and my amazing team especially have helped me through

American Dilemma by John R. M. Wilson, it tells the story of racial injustice done after world war II and explains how Jackie Robinson was pioneer of better race relations in the United States. The obstacles Jackie Robinson overcame were amazing, he had the responsibility to convert the institutions, customs, and attitudes that had defined race relations in the United States. Seldom has history ever placed so much of a strain on one person. I am addressing the importance of Jackie Robinson’s trials

shouldn't discriminate against people of a different race and instead we should accept them into our culture. This song best represents me as to be an inspiration to all of the people that I am around every day. Even if I don't do something big, the small things will add up to make something larger. Saying this, loving everyone around you can make a good influence and they will want to be around you more. The lyrics in this song are also amazing, making you want to be an inspiration to others.

goal: to be the first racer to cross the checkered line. The sport, is called NASCAR, it attracts hundreds of thousands of people to watch each and every race. NASCAR was started by back country bootleggers in Georgia; in late 1947, a meeting was held to discuss the future of stock car racing, and NASCAR was conceived. It takes extreme skill to race in the NASCAR world; it is a crazy fast paced sport that has an incredible, humble beginning. Back in the 1940s, there were individuals known as "bootleggers"
