1) People always say "the sky is the limit". I believe that one shouldn't set limits for themselves. In fact, we should strive to achieve all the dreams we have in our hearts, which is an ideology that I live by. I'm only 17 years old, yet I have already found myself interested in many aspects of life. For instance, I taught myself how to play the guitar and juggle. I have continued practicing these talents for the past 5 years. Moreover, I have visited over 30 countries worldwide, which include

It was the first day of third grade at Ness Elementary. I had known no one for I was to shy to even say hello. I recollect this moment as if it were yesterday, this person is one who has transmuted my life in so many ways. My best friend, my partner in crime, my sister.

I got my “map”, if you could call it that, in one hand and a tree branch in the other, waiting for. Maybe I had to much to drink. Or too little. Either way, I’m not ready for this to happen.

I would need basic living essentials for the period of time we were gone in hiding for. I would also worry about living and staying safe and healthy.

5 weeks ago, me, my grandfather, my brother and our friend Mikey went on a trip up to Tennessee. Florida is no fun at all. I, being the always self-centered, ‘go big or don’t bother’ girl, decided that adding over 400 miles just to visit a museum and gravesite would be a great idea! It was. Though I could have lived without ever being in a car that long. This stop also resulted in a huge fight between my grandfather and my brother over an Xbox and a toilet plunger. Really? Yes.

Solitaire, Abbey readily argues for the beauty of the desert and for its complexity, yet simple life. Abbey clearly states that his purpose for writing this book is not for the mere purpose of making a guide book to the beautiful Arches National Park in Utah, but rather a eulogy to the dying wilderness of the desert, due to the spread of the commercialism.
