The sun beats into the motorhome‚ awaking me the morning of June 30th. It was a little brisk in the air conditioned motorhome‚ but that all changed when I stepped outside and was hit with the intense blast of hot dessert air. All that i could thing about was jumping into the cool water of Lake Havasu. I wake up my friend Reese‚ grab the jet ski keys and hop in the golf cart.

It all goes back to September‚ when I met a guy and went back to my teenage self - meaning that even though I’m

Life is a chess board. You must sacrifice some of your pieces in order to succeed. Many people hate giving up what they love. Their prized possessions. That mindset has hurt me more than it has helped me. When I was in grade five‚ I had a Playstation 3 video game console. I would play it all the time‚ in the morning‚ at night‚ I’d even think about it at school. I wasn’t ready to sacrifice my playing time. Even as the months went by‚ I didn’t stop playing my PS3 console. I was very stubborn. I did

Dawn rushed out of the windows as the startling sunset shone brightly over my tormented body; it blinded me with its immense beams of light. I could hear the endless‚ turbulent clatter of the rain as the wind howled like a pack wolfs .Tears rolled down my smooth‚ nectary‚ and soft cheeks.
