Observation Of The Mammoth
Today was a rather normal day. I helped gather wild plants with my aunt and mother while my brothers and the elder men were out hunting game. When I finished with my daily chores, I snuck out to watch the other men hunt game. As I drew myself closer to the scene, I noticed some of the kids were already there. They were all watching with anticipation and excitement. After all, it is going to be a mammoth this time! The group consisted of seven men, two of which were fairly young. The men were all spread out, hiding behind trees and rocks. As the mammoth got closer, one of the elder men gave a signal and the group charged at the mammoth. In the midst of surprise the mammoth crushed two of the men. The group, however, was not affected by the

    One day at recess, I climbed all the way to the top just like I always did, and I looked all around me at the kids playing on the playground. They were all laughing and running around having fun.

    It was going to be a short ride only about 4 hours altogether through the South Dakota mountains. About an hour into our ride, we reached the mountains and as soon as we did Brody, Eli, Maddy, and I rode our horses to the top of the mountains. When we reached the top of the mountains we got off our horses and looked out over the South Dakota scenery, it was a beautiful view. I have never seen a better view in my life. You could see so far since we were up so high in the air and when we looked down at Tommy and Cassie they looked like ants. After we took a few pictures we headed back down to Tommy and Cassie. We went a little further after we got down from the mountain and then we turned back and headed towards camp. We arrived back at camp we washed, fed, and watered the horses. When we were done with that stuff we made a fire and started carving on sticks for a competition we were having and then at about 11 we went to…

    I looked out the back window of my dad’s white Ford F-250 at the trailer with our camouflage four-wheeler and hundreds of pounds of bait. I was only 11 years old and I was on my way to Two Harbors, MN to hang stands and put out bait for the upcoming bear season. My dad, his brother, his 12-year-old daughter and I were all drawn tags for the 2010 Minnesota bear hunt which opened September 1st. It was our second year of applying for the lottery and we were lucky enough to get drawn. My dad and uncle made a few phone calls and eventually we had a few hundred pounds of gummy bears, donuts, trail mix and cake frosting for the bears.…

    It was a warm sunny day, like the ones you would expect in a summer camp; laughter was the melody that filled the air. Everybody was cheerful and enthusiastic, well everybody except one of our counselors. He was very worried, because his sister had been extremely sick, and nobody had been able to heal her. Everybody in my group had told him how sorry we felt for her, but really nobody connected with his situation, so we were not thinking about it. Instead we were immerging our souls into the contentment that was surrounding us. That day while we were acting, everybody was relaxed, focused and happy on what we were doing. We were living in our own little summer bubble. We decided to take a small break, in between the laughs I remember a friend saying “Isn’t it surprisingly amazing how beautiful life can be?”. That was the last sentence said before a cell phone rang and changed the course of the day.…

    I had only gotten six hours of sleep. I didn’t want to get up but today is the day that I get to explore Chicago with my friends! Even though I felt exhausted I pushed myself up and got ready. I didn’t know whether to expect it to be warm like the last few days have been or if it would be cold, so I dressed for both. I pulled my sneakers on and collected my little bag full of snacks and essentials for walking around all day. Getting to school I go sit with my friends outside the gym as we anxiously wait for the bell to ring. We came up with our plan of where we wanted to go as we munched on our little breakfast.…

    It was a typical late summer day in my life; the all work no play world of Tanner Simons. Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration but seriously while other kids are swimming, playing in summer basketball leagues or hanging out. I am held captive forty-five miles from the nearest town. I get to spend my summers helping out on the family ranch. We have a lot of creek bottoms that require crossings. Over the years equipment has grown in size. On this particular day Dad decided we needed to replace some culverts with bigger ones. This will cut off a lot of miles and hill climbing with the stack mover. I am the youngest of six kids and was eager to prove what I could do. There were two crossings to dig out. I would start with the one by the corrals down below, about 2 miles south of our house. I drove the excavator down and began playing in the dirt. Did I mention that it was a hot afternoon and just the drive down was miserable? I moved on down the creek about another mile and a half and dove right in digging out the other old crossing. My brother came down to get me on the motorcycle and we headed back up to the house. I was feeling quite proud of myself and my accomplishments of the day. I was relaxing on the computer enjoying the air conditioning when my Dad and sister came in too. They had been moving cows and had went down below to put in the new culverts. Dad wanted to know why in the heck it took me all afternoon to dig out one culvert. I told him I got them both dug out and he said not to kid him, he was hot and tired! A heated argument happened before we finally figured out that I had dug out the wrong crossing! It is funny now but having to go back down and dig a third culvert that same afternoon was not funny at…

    Then we had noticed some freshly groomed trail, which makes it so much easier to ski. We knew that if the groomer started grooming after it snowed, it would have only gone a short distance out and back. So all of our faces just lit up with happiness. We had all started skiing a bit faster although my mom thought it was a good idea to call us every five minutes, which was actually just about the most annoying part of the entire day because I would have to stop, take off my gloves, grab my phone and answer. This happened all the time. Best part of the entire day,…

    A Lucky Day

    It was a beautiful Sunday morning, my dad hit upon a sudden idea that he would like us to try something different we have never done before. When hearing that, I couldn’t wait to do something special and funny and expected where Dad was going to take us. With joy and excitement, we kids sang happily and talked cheerfully all the way in the car. When we arrived the quiet and peaceful country with a great view welcoming our visiting, I just felt like I was in a wonderland surrounded with many giant trees, lovely birds, beautiful flowers, and other nature creatures. Of course, I couldn’t miss the good chance of taking pictures of the wonderful scenery. Before long, I heard Dad’s calling not far from me. To my surprise, he was ready to teach me how to catch a fish by giving me a fishing rod. The rivers in the suburbs were so clean and clear that we could see a lot of fish swimming here and there. Actually, it was my first time to try fishing, so I was kind of nervous and excited. As time went by, the longer I waited, the more patience I lost because I got nothing but some plastic bags or let the small fish slip out of my bait. While I was about to give up, the fishing rod in my hand was suddenly shaking hard. Did I catch the big fish? I asked the question in my mind and hoped that my guess was right. Oh, yes, “I got a huuuuuge fish, come over here to help me, Dad! I couldn’t pull it up.” Everybody heard me crying and rushed to the river side to help me pull out the big fish. Everyone in my family was shocked by what I caught. I never thought I was able to get such a pretty big fish. The feeling of catching the first big fish was the same as the feeling of winning the first prize in the lottery game. I thought I was lucky enough because I didn’t have any experience of catching fish. Even though I didn’t get any other surprises from the deep river in the rest time, I was very satisfied with the unexpected harvest. To me, it was a lucky day and it gave me an…

    On a whim, I opened my photograph folder in my computer. The dates and places written on the photos led me on a journey through my memories. I saw the path that led me to where I am today. I left home to go to college at the age of 19. After I graduated, I went to a remote rural area to help farmers grow chickens as a veterinarian Then I went to Beijing for my graduate work and found a job in a biotechnology company. Finally, I got this fantastic opportunity to study at the University of Tennessee. Flipping through those photos, I miss those places I have been to and those people whose life journey have intersections with mine. I am thankful for those things and people that made me grow up.…
