My First Triathlon Have you ever watched or attempted to complete an Olympic triathlon? They are exciting to watch; difficult to take part in‚ and extremely rewarding once you have finished. The race consists of three parts; the swim of 1500 meters‚ the biking of 40 kilometers‚ and the run of 10 kilometers. I did my first triathlon last summer and here is how it went. The swim is first. Fifteen hundred meters is not easy to visualize but if you can think of sixteen football fields in line

My First Cruise Have you ever wanted to travel the world? What made you want to travel? I went on a cruise in June of 2011. I’d say it was the best time of my life. I got to swim in the ocean‚ Meat people from other cultures‚ and discovered parts of the world I’ve never seen. The name of the cruise ship was Destiny. Maybe it’s my destiny to travel the world. It all started one early morning in June. I was awake and was so anxious I hadn’t slept all night. I was ready for my first out of

was about to make a transition to high school. At the age of fifteen‚ my only concern was trying to figure out how I was going to do at a new school‚ however‚ my mother had other plans for me. She decided that it was time for me to get a job. My mother was considered more as a single mom at the time. Even though our stepdad was existent‚ he didn’t really do much to help out with having us grow unless it was for personal gain. My mother also functioned in a similar way. She didn’t want me to work solely

My first pet Convincing a family to adopt a pet kitten can prove to be quite troublesome. Owning a pet requires a decent amount of free time and great responsibility. Staying persistent in your endeavors and showing your family just how serious you are can prove to be rewarding in the end. Caring for a pet cat can prove be a major responsibility for an eight year old. Even though I was fully aware that I was far too young to take on the responsibility that comes with owning a pet‚ I was very

there and ride the roller coasters‚ Mr. Freeze‚ The Boss‚ etc.‚ but the one ride that I really wanted to go on was The Batman. The ride looked so awesome. I heard that you go upside down during the ride. “We’re here‚” my dad said as we parked the car. I could already hear the screaming voices of the kids on roller coasters. It was like a thousand tiny hammers hitting the sides of head. They were so loud‚ I couldn’t hear a single word my dad said to me‚ and could tell from the look on my brother’s

Learned To Ride My Bicycle I must have been seven or eight years old when I rode my first bicycle‚ and the day I learned to ride my bike is very memorable to me. It was a bright warm afternoon and the perfect summer day; school vacation time‚ kids playing‚ sun shining‚ birds chirping. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the afternoon. The kids in my neighborhood were running around playing fun games. I was in my back yard with my two sisters and my little brother. We were playing tag when my dad pulled

The Open Boat NONE OF THEM KNEW THE COLOR OF THE SKY. Their eyes glanced level‚ and remained upon the waves that swept toward them. These waves were gray‚ except for the tops‚ which were white‚ and all the men knew the colors of the sea. The line between sky and water narrowed and widened‚ and fell and rose.A man likes to take a bath in a bigger area than this boat could provide. These waves were frightfully rapid and tall; and each boiling‚ white top was a problem in the small boat.The cook sat

Show Boat Show Boat is a musical; Show Boat is widely considered one of the most influential pieces of its time depicting issues that weren’t addressed then. Show Boat boldly portrayed racial issues‚ and was the first racially integrated musical‚ meaning that both black and white performers appeared and sang on stage together. It was the first Broadway musical to seriously depict an interracial marriage‚ and to feature a character of mixed race that was "passing" for white. It was based on the

The concept of ride sharing has evolved immensely over the last 50 years from its onset – as carpooling served as a way for commuters to circumvent the high gas prices of the 1970s. To the present day‚ where hipsters and business men alike utilize companies such as Uber‚ Lyft‚ and SideCar as an alternative to a crowded and often unreliable public transportation system as well as the price-gouging from taxi drivers. From my interviews with a part time Uber driver and frequent passengers‚ the consensus
