I Want to Be Better
I Want To Be Better
My anger had now completely gotten out of control. Although anger is a completely normal human emotion, I would not disagree that mine had taken control of me. My temper was quick and I had a short fuse. My deeds as a result of my wrath bore consequences that are hard to bear and I still regret my actions.
On this particular day that still lingers in my memories, we were to go for a road trip with my little brother and a couple of friends. All necessary preparations had been made and we were more than eager to leave for our destination which was a five star beach hotel located about three hundred miles away with a variety of amenities at the right price.
We were four in number. Brian my best friend, Michelle who was my classmate at school, Ken my little brother and of course myself. We boarded a bus and we were on course within no time. We arrived after a five hour drive and we headed for the fancy beach hotel where we spent our night.
The next day, we headed for the beach to enjoy ourselves. We played games and also got to swim in the beach. It was crystal clear that everything was going in the right direction. It was not until when my little brother, Ken plotted an embarrassing scheme against me. He pulled my swim suit down in front of everyone. Before I could pull it back up, I noticed that everyone was laughing their hearts out including Brian and Michelle.
My whole life, I had never been embarrassed to that extent. I felt like the world would swallow me up alive. I stood there feeling annoyed and I could feel my rage build up. I decided that I was going to revenge what Ken had done to me and I vowed to stop at nothing.
Later that night, I managed to convince him to come and swim with me at the swimming pool that was just outside the hotel. Unaware of my intentions and excited at my request, he quickly agreed. We went to the deeper end of the pool and I knew it was the perfect time to execute my revenge. I still felt angry at him and I

    When Goodie arrived and the wind was strong my friend Gena and I would ask to go on the hobie cat and of course my brother Bertram and his friend Jake would too. So it was set, we were all going on the Hobie together. When Gena and I had our life jackets on and Jake and Bertram got on the boat, we were set Goodie started by asking us if we wanted to go on the trapeze (a wire that holds you up by a special harness) and of course we did. While Gena went on while Bertram, Jake and Goodie managed the boat below. Gena and I thought it would be fun to see how long each of us could stay on the pontoons. Gena was technically cheating because she can balance well and I'm not as graceful.. But the real trouble happened when my pontoon started going a few inches under water. I was so freaked out that I started moving forward to get away from the water but that made it worse. Now the front of the boat was tipping. I was so scared. Gena was on my left laughing her butt off.…

    One of the most memorable moments I have experienced was four years ago, when I traveled from Matamoros, Tamaulipas to San Antonio, Texas. I had the opportunity of visiting San Antonio for the first time, and more importantly, of spending time with my family who I had not seen in years prior to the trip. Spending time with my family is of great value and importance to me, so I became utterly excited to see them as soon as I had the chance.…

    It was a normal Friday in March except for the fact that I got my license. So my friends and I thought about what we were going to do now that I have my license. Well, we cruised around town thinking we were hot stuff and that we were better that most kids in school since I had my license before many of my friends. We decided that we'd go off-roading since I had the huge truck. It was a hunter green 1979 Ford F-250 Custom. It had huge 33-inch tires, a loud crackling exhaust, and a unique 2-inch thick oak plank flatbed. It really was a beast. So we roared around the backroads hitting bumps and flying into fields just causing a little mischief not doing too much harm. After a week of horsing around in the truck, we became quite bored. So we decided to do something else. We sat around pondering what to do, nothing really came to mind. So my friends and I decided to go to a girl in our class's birthday party at the local recreation center. So on the way to the party we contemplated what we'd do afterward. My friend Chris brought to our attention the he just bought a brand new paintball gun. So with that in mind, we decided that we'd cruise around after the party and shoot houses with it. So we went to the party. We danced, talked with friends, flirted around with the girls, and had an all-around good time. So at the party we discussed who and where we'd go shoot the paintballs. We unanimously chose to shoot a girl's house that we really disliked. Till this day, neither of us knows why we dislike her. But anyway, Shannon Everett was her name and her house was the target. So as the party came to a close, Chris, Sise, and I sprinted to the truck excited about the attack on Shannon's house. We speeded to Chris's house so he and Sise could change and to get the Trracer, the beautiful new gun. While waiting for them, I could only feel the adrenaline pump in my body. As Sise and Chris pounced down the stairs, Cathy, Chris's mom asked why we were all…

    We eventually had the idea to go swimming. I love swimming in Arizona because the water is not cold in and back at home we don’t have a pool. The things I don’t like is that we have to wait for an adult to watch us and in the daytime the ground is so hot with red ants crawling all over as we walk to the pool. Once we finished changing to our swimsuits we all rushed out the door into the warm dark night. Shaun immediately jumped into the turquoise water lit up from the one light at the bottom splashing my family. Gabe and I then put our towels on the closest chair to us and jumped after…

    The next day, my parents rented my brother and I kayaks to ride in the ocean. I went out into the ocean farther than my brother. We had a race to see who could get back to the sand first, I won. After that, we went swimming in our private pool. We had multiple contests; who could hold their breath longest, who could do more back and front flips, a race to see who swam the fastest, and a race to see who could get to the other side of the pool, first. He won the first race and I won the rest of the rest of the races.…

    Senior Trip

    The first stop on senior trip was the beach. It was the perfect first stop because we had been cooped up in the bus for 30 hours. The sun was shinning and we were ready to explore our summer playground. The morning seemed as though it was going to be a normal day; that is until my friend Stephen Hyer had an idea. He wouldn’t tell us where or what we were doing; he only said it was going to be awesome. We all ran into a hotel bathroom and then he told us his plan to make duct tape Speedos. He had brought regular underwear for us to put tape on. Then he put out the tape. There was red, blue, green, zebra print, and others. In the midst of us helping each other create our bathing suits, a little kid came in and went to the bathroom. I assume that he had seen far worse because he stared for a second and then did his business and left like nothing ever happened. The thirty year old man however walked in, stared at us, we froze, then he left very quickly. Stephen felt obligated to yell after him, “Wait, we can make room!”…

    Like it was yesterday I remember my first vacation on a cruise. My Dad and I went on a three- day long cruise to The Bahamas. I had never been on a cruise, so it was a new experience for me. We needed to be in Tampa for our departure, so we drove the two hours from Orlando, Florida to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My Dad and I used this time to talk, make plans for the trip and think about our upcoming adventures on the cruise.…

    Sitting there waiting, I was filling water balloons, waiting for Jeff or someone to return for a second time. When I saw him, I sprang up, jumped down from the sink, and alerted all my friends. We were looking from the eyehole on the door as he came up. We soaked him, and he was with dripping water from the corners of his clothes. He ran away yelling, " I'm gonna get you!" We slammed the door and went back inside, moving all the bed mattresses to the living room so we could sit and talk with blankets so we could stay warm. The room filled with laughter when someone said, "Did you see the look on his face?" or " He got it bad." Everyone was giggling and we chatted for about an hour and decided to go to sleep, because it seemed as though the boys weren't coming back.…
