It was cold, so cold my fingers stung under the three pairs of gloves I wore in preparation for the journey I made everyday. It began as always I wake up to the noise of my four sisters preparing for school. The arguing was routinely, no matter the day or the occasion. My younger sisters, who seemed to enjoy it, would set identical alarms unknowingly. After which they race to the restroom in an attempt to be the first one dressed and ready. Being the only male in the above average four bedroom home I had the luxury of a basement room. The basement was cold and spacious, but it made for an impressive living area. On the end furthest right after walking down a flight of steps was my bathroom. A full bathroom with a blue tile floor. A …show more content…
I had just made it to my seat in the back of the room. I hated sitting in the back because my eyesight was terrible to say the least, but Mr. Lungsford had arranged us in alphabetical order. He said it made taking role easier. He opened up class with a video. In the video there was a man, he looked middle-aged about 40, he was dressed in khaki dress pants and a white button up shirt he had tucked inside his pants. He looked uncomfortable like he would rather be somewhere else. He was being interviewed and the interviewer was asking him questions that made him even more uncomfortable to the point he walked out. Mr. Lungsford then shut off the television and wheeled it to the back room. When returning back in front of us he asked what we would have done that situation. In an uncomfortable place being asked questions with no definite correct answer. One girl in the seat two spaces headed of me said that she would change the subject and speak around it. Mr. Lungsford told her that even though that sounded good. It would only hurt herself. He went on to explain that this is what politicians do everyday. They are asked questions on important issues and are expected to give honest feedback that appeals to the people or their personal political views. It 's not about being right or wrong it 's about being honest and hoping the public can genuinely trust you as a leader. He then went on to lecture us while answering questions occasionally. Before we could finish class discussion the bell rang that dismissed us for lunch and we all naturally stampede out the
Everything for a year had been leading up to this point and here I was in the middle of the happiest place on earth in tears because my friends had abandoned me in the middle of Disney on the senior trip.
The chilling night wind rushes through the air, and cuts sharply across my skin, leaving a cold sting in my fingertips, making it harder to hold on. The curtain beneath me sways and shifts as I inch my way down.
As I walked into the family room, I could feel the gentle heat of the crackling fire begin to sooth my frostbitten cheeks. I plopped myself down on the sofa. The soft cushions felt like heaven to my muscles, sore from building snowmen, riding sleds, and throwing snowballs from behind the impenetrable fort.
I felt a chill go through my body as I sat on the edge of the wagon. Nights were always chilly out here, and we didn’t have as many blankets as we did when we started the journey on the Oregon Trail. My smaller brother had thrown one of them in our fire in a fit of rage, and several others had gotten dragged off by a coyote in the middle of the night. That was fine with me. We needed all the space we could get in our cramped wagon. Fitting six people and their possessions on a wagon made for four was no easy task, and it resulted in an uncomfortable lack of privacy. Still, an extra blanket right now would have been nice. The wagon rumbled along steadily. There was an occasional jaunty bump, but the wagon kept going. The constancy was comforting in a way. The continuous grumble of the wagon helped me forget all that I had lost on the Oregon Trail.
Seeing my breath in the cold crisp air and shaking to keep my body warm was something I was unfimilair with. No palmtrees, just bare icy trees. Walking up to a sharp glossy black limo, and finally seeing a something I knew that was fimliair, my family. With big smiles I embraced my family. Drowing in hugs and kisses from grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins I was happy to finally be close to family.
It was a cold, foggy, and dangerous night. You could smell the fear in the air, and feel the tension in your neck. Billy, William, Andrew and I. We where all camping, We had been fishing the afternoon before, and where eating the catfish we had caught that afternoon. I had always loved to camp, and I loved to fish but not this time. We had known that there was something else out there with us.
On February 21, 2016, I, Deputy John Arnold, went to 11747 West 105th Street South to assist another deputy in reference to a fight in progress.
My music was blaring and my heart was racing. I pushed my way to the first black diamond run in sight to warm up. I froze and excitly looked at what was before me. Exquisite mountains coated in snow surrounded me and I could barely make out the quaint village town. The scent of the pine and snow was memorizing.
I wouldn't have been so nervous if I hadn't had such strong and well known opponents. I introduced myself and began to mention the reasons why my classmates should vote for me, “ Hello, many of you know me, but if you don't my name is Elendia Guerrero, and I want to be your senior class president.” Everyone was paying so much attention it felt like they were watching me perform. I mentioned some of the reasons why they should vote for me, “for me your opinions will always matter. I will always ask you guys for your opinion on any activity, and on designs for our senior shirt…” I talked for two minutes because that was the maximum time we were allowed for some reason. At the end of my presentation, I gave out candy to everyone. After this, the three of us had to repeat our speech to five more classes. By the time it was lunch, I was tired of repeating my speech I already knew it by memory and did not need my
For a lot of people the best moments of their lives are major life events like the birth of their children or getting married, for me it was a simple weekend with my mom. About a year ago I had a doctor’s appointment to check how my ear was doing because three months prior to that I had surgery to repair my hearing and create a new eardrum, but that’s a different story. This particular doctor was two hours away in Lebanon and I didn’t enjoy waking up at seven to go to a 20 minute check up with something I already knew the outcome of.
After countless hours of uncomfortable naps and tasteless meals between flights, we finally arrived at the unfamiliar land of America. Leaving all our dear friends and families behind, I was told that we came here in hope of a better future, my future specifically. I was never really socially active and at the time, English was a whole new concept that I have yet to understand. The inability to communicate with other makes it even harder for me to express myself and it mold my personality to become more antisocial than I ever was. There’s always this uneasy feeling that linger when someone talk to me and I cannot give them a response and it’s even harder to say something because I was afraid of making a mistake and make a fool out of myself.
It was 7:40 am, and the house was silent. As I woke up I wiped away dried tears and a bit of drool from my face. I hated remembering. The weather was gloomy today, wet and cold, i felt the rain wash over me as I walked to school that morning. I only had one class to go to today, after first period I would be at my grandma’s funeral.
I brush my eyes awake, feeling the cold seeping in from my window. It’s 9 AM and it’s winter in Minnesota. Feeling sleepy, I stand up and go outside. I love the winter air. It always refreshes my mind and there’s just a cold bite to it that I enjoy. Coming back inside, I boot up my computer, hoping to enjoy it a little before heading out. The winter days swim together, phasing throughout my mind, and I fall asleep again, or I have woken up.
“Why don’t you use your locker? You’re going to have back problems before you even graduate”. These are words that are repeated to me daily, almost like clockwork. I carry my twenty-pound backpack, full of papers upon papers from my AP classes. The middle pouch of my backpack houses my book in which I get lost to distract me from my unrelenting stress. The top pouch holds several erasers, foreshadowing the mistakes I will make - and extra lead, to combat and mend these mistakes. Thick, wordy textbooks full of knowledge that has yet to become engraved in my brain, dig the straps of my backpack into my shoulders. This feeling, ironically enough, gives me relief - my potential and future success reside in my folders and on the pages of my notebooks.
During my freshman year of college, I had met one of my best friends, who go by name Jill. (She lives in New Jersey and while I live in Pennsylvania) I found it to be strange that sometimes, it feels like we have grown up with one another but in reality we have only one another for four years and I couldn’t be more thankful. I can remember when we met at school as if it was yesterday.
