Everyone thinks that Disney World is fun but when I was 4 I thought it was scary. All of those princess’ and scary statues scared me. But the rides were even worse. When I saw the Rockin’ Rollercoaster I freaked out. I knew that my mom would make me try a new something new like the Rockin Rollercoaster. And that's exactly what she did. I don’t really like trying new things but I knew that my sister and my mom would do it too and they wanted to have fun with me. Somehow she knew that I would love that ride.…
It was a hotter than snot sunny day in a small town in Michigan called Fremotte. This town has four lakes in it. But, let me get to the point.…
It was a day that my family, my friend and I went to Wildwood for vacation. We were at the rides and all of a sudden my friend and I saw the Slingshot ride. We thought it would be fun to go on. It was about $60 for 2 riders. Later on, we found my parents, we told them the cost, and my mom automatically said no. But then, I asked my dad and he said yes. We weren’t able to do it that night because they were doing work on the ride.…
On my first day of clinical ride time after we dropped off our first patient at the hospital and had given turn over I asked Bruce, “Do you ever wonder what happens after we leave?” He gave me a shrug and a knowing smile replying, “Sometimes but you will get used to it.” To me it felt unfinished. What was going to happen to the patient, would they be admitted, would they be sent home, what would their quality of life be? As an EMT these questions have always intrigued…
I broke my arm today while getting on the freight train. Thank God I still have an arm unlike some of the other I have meet who have lost an arm or leg and some even know someone who has lost their life ( Riding the Rails). I have done this a couple of time now and I shouldn't have been so anxiety about it but I was. I hide under the track outside the yard like I normally do, waiting for the train to reach momentum so I could get on. I forgot to check for the bull guards who are hired to keep hoboes from jumping on freight. I guess I got too comfy with my environment( Riding the rails). Right when I was getting on the trains, I heard the bull guards yelling and chasing after me. It threw me off my balance and I nearly fell off the train. I…

As my skin begins to crisp and blister, my water bottle in desperate need of a refill, I look up to the blinding, hot, Australian sun, and sigh. We have only been at MovieWorld for thirty minutes and I am already as red as a lobster and its only 9:30am.…
Today is the day we are starting our trip. We have our wagon train ready to go now it's time to leave this crazy city. I have my oxen pulling my prairie schooner everything is going well until I bump into a fancy Conestoga wagon. The wagon wasn't to badly damaged, there was just a scratch, but the owner made me pay him sixty dollars. I almost knocked him out but I didn't want to start off our journey that way. Our first day we had plenty of problems including the little accident earlier we had to dump some of the tools we doubled up on because of an over load issue. I was mad as the dickens because I was looking forward to using those tools. They costed us a pretty penny as well. We made camp after 25 miles for the day. We made a horse shoe…
Ok, so I want to tell you about how riding Bam Bam for the first time went. First, my trainer told me I could ride Bam Bam. Then, I went to go get him. He is a brown and white horse, [a.k.a paint] with blue eyes. I got his blue halter and brown, blue, and tan leadrope. I put it on him and led out him out. We walked to the crossties.…
As I was waI stopped to take a breather as I was done finishing my last lap out of the 4 miles. I had called my mom to pick me up and ten minutes ago, but she was not here yet, I just assumed she was just running a little bit late. I can tell you standing outside in the flaming fiery sun, covered in sweat with no water bottle in hand is no fun.…
I am currently a sophomore at Northwest Vista College, I am perusing a bachelors in biology and will graduate with my associates this fall. My road has not been easy to say the least.

I am positive that my perseverance and diligence will help me in my road earning my degree and my hardships did act as speed bump, but it made me stronger in the…

So there I was thinking what can I do then I was like hey I have my bike in the garage so I went and I got the bike. My parents always said not to go down the hill but I was a young kid and what kid listens to his parents about a thing like that. So there I was riding my bike around the house having all kinds of fun like kids do. I have hills around the house but not like the steep hill that I was going to go down later in the day. The hill that I was going to go down was like a mountain to me and nothing I have went down…
Do you believe you can lose weight by just riding a bicycle? I am proof that you can do it, if you put your mind to it. Let’s jump on our bikes and go for a ride. Chicago is approximately two-hundred sixty miles from Greenville, Ohio. A group called Campus Life was heading to Chicago on their bikes. I was one of the thirty-five people to participate in the four-day trip. At first I wasn’t sure what I was getting into but by the end of the trip I knew that it was going to lead to a healthier lifestyle.…
“Wooooshhhhh!!!” At blast off, California Screamin, took us through twists and turns, with an upside down loop. People were screaming their lungs out when the steel roller coaster soared into the air like a rocket. The terrifying speed made my toes curl and the strong wind pushed my head against the rubber black seat. I cried bloody murder on the coaster as it fell plumb down almost touching the ground. All too soon, it was over. After I got off of the thrill ride, I found my haggard look with disheveled hair through a snapshot picture. This is simply too awful to contemplate.…
