welcomed us‚ we were already warming to Iceland. Iceland has the reputation of being a remote country‚ but it’s actually North America’s closest European neighbor‚ located relatively halfway between the U.K. and the U.S. There are many misconceptions about Iceland‚ and surely the name of the country doesn’t help any. Far from freezing or being covered in ice‚ Iceland has a relatively medium climate‚ averaging 60 degrees in the summer and 32 in the winter. We were visiting in April‚ and the temperature

English Snow Winter is my favorite time of the year. The snow is my favorite thing about winter. Snow is precipitation in the form of ice. That is form within clouds when the temperature outside drops to 30 degrees or below. Every year around November and December‚ it starts to fall. The snow is important to me because it bring me joy. Watching the snow fall is very peaceful. It falls without a sound unlike rain. There are a lot of things to do to with snow. Like making huge snow

Nothing‚ not one feeling‚ not one moment in time‚ lasted long enough for me to explore. Then‚ as I stood up for the first time‚ the elevator

Reaching the 10 mile mark to get back to the original camping site got everyone happy but the happiness soon died as the dark clouds caved our heads and tiny little droplets fell down like bullets. The strong wind howled through the river and the thunder roared. Trees on the side started dancing and leaves clapped their hands.

I stood a few feet behind the boy on the opposite team‚ poised and ready to catch the ball when my teammate smacked it toward me. Oh‚ I was so nervous. Suddenly the basketball hit my stomach with incredible force. It bounced off and rolled away on the floor to be picked up by the opposite team. The game had begun‚ and I had already dropped

Blackhawks fan‚ but I just extremely disliked the Rangers. On the other side of the room‚ my Uncle Nate was going nuts. He threw his New York cap down onto the floor and stomped in circles all around it. The Rangers jersey that had cost him more than a year of savings‚ considering he was unemployed‚ hung limply from his shoulders. Pillows and couch cushions flew back and forth across the wide room. Uncle Nate’s voice‚ which at that point was a mix between a wail and a shout‚ started giving me a headache

You may pick up your luggage at baggage claim seven.” I vividly remembered this announcement playing as my family waited to pick up our luggage. Naively‚ I asked my dad if he was excited about moving to America from Vietnam. His response surprised me: “Moving to a new country means starting a new chapter of our life‚ so if anything‚ I’m worried.” I didn’t know what to think at that point.
