Although the journey was quite interesting for the family and did not go as planned. They hit a huge traffic jam, but luckily they arrived at the site at five fifty-nine that evening. She dashed out of the car in happiness for freedom from the old car and her obnoxious brothers. The was sun …show more content…

Her mother would never let her go to the showers alone. She waited all day for her family to return, once they finally came back, her mother agreed to take her to the showers. Amy thought this would be the highlight of her weekend. Once they got to the showers, she saw a big sign with bold letters on all of the doors that said, “OUT OF ORDER!” Amy broke down and began to sob, demanding the trip be ended immediately. Her mother tried to reason with Amy but she wanted to go home, and her mother agreed and announced that they’d leave the next morning.

  • Essay On Concept Of Wilderness

    837 Words  | 2 Pages

    Does wilderness exist? To many people, this would seem to be a very meaningless question. Of course wilderness exists. But, coming from a student who decided to enroll in a class called Humans and the Natural Environment: Impacts and Moral Obligations, this question has become one that has almost thrown my world upside down. Before we can answer the question, we must first know the definition of wilderness is this, “an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man is a visitor who does not remain.” Because of my recent class periods and readings, I believe that the concept of wilderness does not exist, and that it is not useful. Throughout this essay I will explain why

    I did not want to leave. I had been here for ten days and I had established relationships and friendships with people from everywhere and all sorts of backgrounds. We all sat in the car preparing to leave. Every single one of us, my parents, brother and me, sitting in silence. Wanting to cry, waiting for someone to say the first word. Each of us had learned something that trip. For me, this experience had taught me what gratefulness was, the impact a good attitude has, what a servant looks like, and really how the relationships we make with our life is the most important aspect about life.

  • Essay On The Wildfire Season

    753 Words  | 2 Pages

    As the 2014 “Wildfire Season” kicks off across the American West, it is crucial that the Administration examines the glaring failures of current federal wildfire policy. Drier and hotter summers are contributing to longer and more intense wildfire seasons, while in the meantime, the dangers and costs of fighting those fires have increased substantially. The budget and appropriations that are in place for the two main agencies that practice forest management, the United States Forest Service (USFS) and the Department of the Interior (DOI), are less than sufficient, and these agencies are being forced to rely on “fire borrowing” to fund excess fire suppression activities. This “borrowing” undermines other important functions, and starts a damaging cycle in which funds are diverted from elsewhere within agency budgets to fund suppression. Within the past two years alone, the DOI and USFS have “borrowed” almost $1.1 billion from forest management programs meant to reduce fire danger.
