Morning Time I woke up this morning and knew it was going to be a good day. I got dressed in my favorite outfit. I brushed my teeth. I brushed my hair. Then I went downstairs and ate my breakfast.

Morning Time Beep! Beep! Beep! My alarm clock woke me out of a sound sleep. I had been having a wonderful dream about being the best singer on American Idol. Yawning and stretching, I crawled out of bed. My closet door seemed miles away, but I knew I had to get dressed. As I set out on my journey across the vast room, I carefully avoided tripping over my stuffed animals that lay strewn across the floor. I passed a mountain of clean clothes, yet to be folded and prayed out loud that I would have something to wear. I turned the knob on my walk-in closet’s door and smiled from ear to ear when I saw my favorite outfit staring back at me. It seemed to say, “I’m here, wear me!” I slipped on my black pants and buttoned up my floral print shirt. Doing a little twirl , I glanced in the mirror. Black leather boots would perfect the outfit.

A quick brush of the teeth, and I was ready to go. Skipping down the stairs, I sang my favorite song, “Girl’s Just Want to Have Fun.” I stopped singing when my eyes noticed that our kitchen table had a feast on it. Scrambled eggs,

    “He was a slim, dead, almost dainty young man of about twenty. He lay with one leg bent beneath him, his jaw in his throat, his face neither expressive nor inexpressive. One eye was shut. The other was star-shaped hole.”(124). Instead of Tim O'Brien telling us facts about this man, he was describing what was happening and how the man looked. Using the 5 senses can help describe in a meaningful way. That is because using the 5 senses can connect with the reader and create an image in their mind to understand what is happening on a deeper…

    My phone was glued to my hand by the sweat of my hand, I held it all though the night. I had waited for this day for over a year, and I couldn’t understand what was holding me back from jumping out of my bed and leaping into the car. Dragging my feet over to my dresser, I slipped on the mandatory blue jersey polo and cringed as I saw myself in the mirror; I looked like a mess. While eating a blueberry bagel, I grabbed my carry on and suit case and headed out to the car. I could barely keep my eyes open and my stomach was filing with butterflies the closer we got to the…

    The day I opened that catalog was the day that my mind went into a world win spiral. So many ideas flooded my brain that I went out and bought my first sketch book to begin on this fashion journey. I started out drawing a pair of straight leg white dress pants, followed by a beautiful silk pink button up blouse. It was simply stunning.

It shocked me how many people actually liked my work, but I was more than happy to do it.…

Then BOOM my alarm clock goes off to wake my brother and I up to get ready for school, but this was all put to the side by our mother coming in to the room telling us that she would have to work a few extra hours. "Wake your but up!" Is what I yelled to my brother as I had always did he consistently showed himself to be the lazy one who would just breeze through life without a care in the world. He replied back with the bad morning breath, “Leave, me, alone its only 6:30 school doesn’t start until 7:30.” Me as usual I got up pulled him out of bed until he hit the floor then started my routine to get ready for the day’s events.
