Lessons. Dreams. Goals. We have all had them. In fact, they are even in reading. Specifically, I recall “The inheritance of tools” by Scott R. Sanders and Annie Dillard’s story “The Chase.” Through their morals, these stories have shown me my life through a different pair of glasses. Throughout my entire life my father has taught me a bountiful amount of lessons. Being a scrawny 12-year-old that could barely lift more than 50 pounds, my father put me to work by having me help him finish the basement

I was five years old and in kindergarten. At the time I was living in my hometown of Perry, Utah, attending Willard Elementary School which is located ten minutes south of my house. It was a day just like any other, or so I thought. A few hours into school, I found myself sitting all alone in the corner of the double-sized classroom between two book shelves. Listening to the rest of my classmates playing on the other side of the room, I buried my focus into a set of Lego-like blocks. As I recall

This is done many times throughout the meal. In European style cuts are still made one at a time but the fork stays in the left hand and the knife stays in the right.

It was an extremely stormy night. That made sense, because Hurricane Irma was hitting. I was heading to Mr. Boddy's mansion for dinner. I got there kind of late so everyone was already there. The wind had blown off a few shingles. I hurried inside knowing there was much stronger winds to come. The table was set. I found a place to sit along with all of the other invited guests. We start eating when the lights start to flicker. "The wind is getting pretty rough". Said Mr. Plumb, just

The plot began during a family gathering at my house with my grandpa, grandma, aunt, my parents and of course, Cole, my brother, on March 6th 2016. We were celebrating my grandpas – who knows how old – birthday by playing a few games of cards, enjoying a nice home cooked meal and talking with each other about new and fascinating things that were happening in our lives. After we had all finished eating, it was

It was a cold night on May 16th. The air was crisp as winter leaves. I can remember the gunfire as if the bullet was just shot. The man that shot the bullet was filled with greed and power and was just a little over 6 feet tall; that was the man that killed my parents on that cold night.
