On Sunday‚ November 13‚ 1988‚ I made my first parachute landing from an airplane flying 12‚000 feet above ground. That weekend was very different for my friend Rondon and me.

When we arrived at Americana‚ about 9:00 A.M.‚ we went directly to the Marte camp‚ an area in the North side where there

MY LIFE CHANGING DECISION ROSS BROWN ENGL 1301-270 SUSAN ROBBINS 4/2/2013 It was the beginning of spring about two years ago- a wet and gloomy day.

It was a decision that would affect the ones I love the most‚ my children. As

Centenier kept reading. I could see my lawyer shaking their head in the distance. Bollocks. A great deal of back and forth then occurred between my lawyer and the prosecutor. All the while I was stuck in the docks‚ unable to speak and feeling like my life and future was in the hands of this stranger representing me. It’s May the 26th‚ 3 months earlier. The sun is out and it’s a perfect day for a ride. My bike is sat in the garage tempting me to take it out even though it’s prepared for the hill

She pulled me away from her‚ grabbed my face and looked directly into my eyes and said “Enough of this foolishness‚ sweetie‚ you have a beautiful life but it’s up to you to give it to yourself.” I knew right there in then I could change what felt like the end of my world.
