Cory Hansen Van Alphen English 101 141 11 October 2012 Childhood When I was a baby‚ the world was a lot different. Everything was incredibly bright‚ or awfully dark. I was remarkably happy‚ or I was terribly scared. I lived in a world of extremes. I was trapped on an elevator that soared to the top floor in an instant‚ and plummeted to the basement the next. Nothing‚ not one feeling‚ not one moment in time‚ lasted long enough for me to explore. Then‚ as I stood up for the first time‚ the elevator

Morning Java Startled by my alarm‚ I stretch my arm out from under the covers and search frantically in the dark to put an end to the obnoxious sound. I feel around for my lamp and switch it on‚ keeping my position until my eyes adjust to the light. Before I ever get out of bed‚ I’m already overwhelmed thinking of my many tasks for the day. When motivation is scarce‚ there is only one thought that brings me out of my cozy‚ warm bed and to my feet. Waiting to be made is a fresh‚ boosting cup

I sat down on the park bench by the Mirror Lake that was closest to the fountain. Even though nobody was sitting on the seven foot long bench‚ I sat on one corner occupying the minimum amount of space possible. Only after sitting on the wooden bench I realize that the bench was still slightly wet from previous night’s heavy rain. Though autumn had stripped away the youthful leaves of deciduous trees around the lake‚ it brought a strange nostalgic beauty to the campus. Dry and crispy fallen leaves

The Beautiful Nightmare Back in November last year‚as I wokeup to the blistening sun shining through my window‚ I blinked my eyes to clear the my blurry sight. With the excruciating pain that poked my eyes‚ I walked to the mirror and was surprised to look at my red eyes. That was not the worst part‚ as I focused more into my eyes on the mirror‚ I realised that at the center of my eyeballs‚ there was a white bulge‚ round and small. Not even an hour later‚my mother and I were already sitting on a

I don’t know what it is about racing‚ but I really enjoy going to the track. The combination of all the cars racing‚ the smell of the smoking tires in the burn out lane‚ and the adrenaline that flows through your body as the cars line up just does it for me. Watching the cars going down the quarter mile of black pavement at a high rate of speed simply amazes me. There are so many different cars at the track racing. From a 1970 Chevelle to a brand new 2003 Corvette‚ and sometimes if your lucky

DUDLEY WAS ROUSED FROM SLEEP BY A QUIVERING‚ SHAKING HAND ON HIS arm and an apprehensive voice shuddering his name‚ “D-Dudley wake up!”. He opened his eyes drowsily‚ vaguely making out what seemed to be a figure. Was John waking him up for work? He felt an unbearable disequilibrium agitating him‚ he did not have any drive to work at the sawmill. A strident voice of modulation triggered the release of the grip. “URUSAI!”. It was a voice he could not understand. What was happening? Was it a dream?

We stop at a stop light in a town right outside of Panama‚ we roll down the windows and you can smell the salty ocean water. We are finally here after twelve long leg cramping‚ neck hurting‚ and back wrenching hours in the car. It was all worth it though just thinking about getting your toes in the tan hot sand. Once we were finally in the city and driving down the strip we rolled down the windows and just admired the view of the ocean and all the waves crashing in. I couldn’t wait to get to

I have been a National Basketball Association fan for decades now. I can remember when I was young; I would just sit there on a Sunday afternoon and just stare. Stare without any interruption at my family’s television. Watching the greatness of Michael Jordan‚ who I watched‚ win 6 Championships. The rivalry between the Miami Heat and the New York Knicks was one of the greatest series in playoff basketball in the history of the N.B.A. The love of basketball runs deep within me‚ not just with the sport
