My First Submarine Underway I was stationed in Pearl Harbor‚ Hawaii and had recently graduated from Advanced Sonar School in Groton‚ Connecticut.

is love? I never knew until I was fourteen year old at my first horse show. My family has always told me that when I loved someone or something unconditionally for exactly what it was without expecting anything in return‚ and when I was away from whatever I loved I would feel like something was missing‚ and only then would I truly understand love. At that first horse show I understood what they told me. For me my first horse show changed my life‚ it made me feel so alive and I never wanted to leave

As I woke up to the smell of French Toast and bacon while my mom was yelling for me to get in the shower‚ all I could think about was that days’ game.

We’ve got a ball game to play‚” This one was different. It was homecoming‚ and we had to deal with all the distractions of the homecoming parade‚ pep-rally‚ and all of the alumni

My first time to Hawaii went like this. The first 5 hours I was on the plane I was feeling extremely sick and tired and felt like throwing up. After all that torture we finally got off of the plane and tried to find our hotel. We got lost for about 30 minutes until we actually found it. After we got into our hotel‚ I noticed that they didn’t have a refrigerator or a microwave‚ so every time we wanted to eat‚ we had to go buy some food. After we unpacked all of our stuff‚ we went out to the shopping

The library into which Giovanni enters is described in detail. The heavy oak chairs and banker’s lights make me think of important things

When I think of those years‚ the awaiting dark holes are released to blacken the rest of the few memories filled with light. *** The war had broken out and all the children were being evacuated to distant cousins or aunts in the surrounding war-free countries for safety. My parents had told me that I was only going away for a while‚ the war would be over and I would see
