The next thing I would do in Colorado is go camping. I would like to build fires, and practice shooting our guns. My brother and I would go on nature hikes, in hope of finding a Bigfoot!
After being outside
It all started when a few days before summer break began last year when I overheard my step-dad and uncle talking about a hiking trip in Colorado that we were going to take sometime in the month of early July. So I just let it be and was going to see and find out if I was going to go along with them. long story short, I got a really, really early Christmas present from my mom and step-dad. A hiking trip to the Rocky Mountains!…
The day after we got to South Dakota we woke up and ate breakfast when we got done eating we went and got the chores for the horses done. After we were done with the horses we all got dressed and went sightseeing in the town we were closest to. There were all kinds of antique stores and…
One rainy day two girls named Lisa and Erin were driving to Colorado because they rented a cabin for the weekend. When they got to Colorado they stopped at the gas station for so gas. Lisa asked the cashier if they were going in the right direction to the cabin? The cashier said that they were going the right way but would take a will to get there. They spent three hours driving and then they see a sign that says Summer Lake Forest on it. Erin checked her phone to see if they where in the right spot and it said they were.…

Frist have you ever been to Devils Tower? This summer my family and I went to Devils Tower. When we made it to Devils Tower, we looked up and saw Devils Tower and people were climbing Devils Tower, one person fell down but there safety gear saved them. My brother, Dad and I climbed the edges of Devils Tower while we were climbing, I could smell the sweet scent of pine trees.

When we arrived to the highest point we, could I could hear the sounds of nature as I saw trees and the landscape for miles. Devils Tower has a walk you can go on but not thro Devils Tower also there is a bigger walk you can go on which is a couple miles. The pine…
The holidays are fast approaching and I can't believe it. The leaves have changed colors and are falling rapidly off the trees. It seems like I looked and blinked and an entire year just just flew by, and my now little girl is not so little anymore. I've been going through photos of past Christmases and I can see the growth that has taken place throughout the year. As most of you know, I grew up in the Caribbean and I never experienced snow until we moved to the United States. Christmas for us meant cotton dresses and tees and we were even able to wear shorts as well, because it was summer all year round. Now fast forward to today, and I have children of my own and they need different wardrobes for each season including the holidays. The…
As a student I find myself seated in front of a computer screen for long hours at a time; likewise, it is my obligation as a student to use technology as a resource to further my comprehension in my degree. In my opinion a good excuse to be seated in front of a computer for long hours. It is easy to say that I find a lot of inspiration form online sources, blogs, and social media – which I do – however, I feel most inspired when I step away from the computer screen. I find inspiration in the ordinary; I love to travel and see new things, in this case this is where I found my inspiration. Along my travels to Whistler Mountain in previous winters I saw a portion of land that was clear-cut, but one tree stood alone covered in snow. This piece…
It was an extremely cool day in the Poconos Mountains, and we had made a reservation to go white water rafting. The next morning we had to wake up extra early to eat breakfast so we weren’t late for our trip. When my parents said, “were going white water rafting” I thought we were going straight down to the river , but of course it wasn’t.…
I have traveled to Maryland, Philadelphia, New York, and Washington, D.C. Oregon seems like it would blow all of them away. Hopefully, I can to travel to Oregon one day because Oregon is a place where you can go to one of its beaches one day and snow ski on a mountain another. This is just the tip of the iceberg on Oregon. It is also a outdoorsman’s paradise where you can cycle, hike, kayak, rock climb, windsurf and go white water rafting. Oregon is the greatest place in America, at least in my…

My Thanksgiving vacation could have been more enjoyable. I did a lot of working over break. Starting from the beginning, on Tuesday after we got let out of school, I drove all the way down to Des Moines because I had to work. I work at the Des Moines Buccaneers Hockey Arena, it’s a USHL hockey league that boys from ages 16-19 play in while trying to get scholarships to colleges they are signed to. My sister Kaylee and I worked in the Pirates Cove cleaning until around 7:00 P.M. Buccaneer clothing can be purchased in the cove. We had to close down and quit cleaning at 7:00 P.M. because an important hockey game called the Turkey Cup. Between two Des Moines high school hockey teams, the Oak Leafs and the Capitals. On these teams the boys age from, 16-19, although they are the…
On Saturday April 13, 2013 I was walking through the parking garage on the USAA campus in San Antonio, TX to start my 4 hour work shift, I began to go through the turnstile and seemingly startled awake a bat. This bat began to fly and squeal in fear. It darted at my head getting caught in my hair a couple times. I started to scream and flail my arms about trying to fend off the nocturnal flying mammal in fear. During what seemed to be forever I was able to unlock the turnstile and exit the entry way but not before rupturing two discs in my neck. This incident caused quite the turn of events in my life. I had been working for USAA for 3 years and truly loved it there. I also lived in a beautiful apartment with my mother and two children and…

I have been to several places in the United States that I will always remember. However, they are places that I can always go back to and it wouldn’t really be a problem. I have been to Las Vegas, California, and Phoenix but the most memorable place would have to be Madrid, Spain.…
