On one crummy summer day‚ my mom‚ sister and I were all on our way to Target to get some groceries. When we were passing through the isles‚ a toy caught my eye. It was a brand new Transformers set. It was like heaven… In a 5 year old’s eyes. So I ran over and screamed. “Mom! Could I pretty please get these? They would go great with my other Transformers”. I said. “No Buddy‚ Maybe another time”. My mom replied. I was terribly depressed‚ I really wanted to get these transformers and my mom

Sunlight filters through the windows until the room is painted in hues of amber. The brilliance of the rays overwhelms the shadows formed by twilight‚ driving away the monsters that thrive in its inky depths. The aurora tumbles like fresh snow upon a sheet of unyielding ice‚ doing little to penetrate the December chill that descended overnight. The wintery atmosphere is far away as I open my eyes‚ encased in a cocoon of commodious blankets. For a brief moment in time‚ I am alone. The troubles of

I’m three miles in on a four-mile morning training run along the sandy Southern Californian coastline. I can’t breathe‚ and all I see is the ground an inch in front of my face. My Drill Sergeant’s booming voice jolts me back into my senses. I push myself up as I spit out the mouthful of wet sand between my teeth‚ and immediately my legs begin propelling me forward. My running buddy‚ De Guzman‚ already got 10 or so seconds on me so I lean forward‚ wipe my face‚ and keep advancing. For another what

I have to say Aids is the worst and horrific killers I have witnessed in life. Ron came to stay with me in his last year of life.

I remember being a very sassy‚ rebellious‚ careless‚ and pot-headed fifteen year old girl‚ who had the external facade that “I do not care about other people’s opinions of me‚ if they don’t like me they can go fuck themselves.” However‚ internally I wanted to cry when people did not like me and ask why are people so judgmental? As if I would get the answer to this question‚ but at that time‚ I had given up on living up to people’s expectations such as my parents‚ teachers‚ and friends because people

Madly in love with a nickel in my hand‚ it reflected light like a shining star before 6 o’clock in the morning. To me‚ the nickel represented the joy of hope. As I began to walk home‚ beside the slimy lake‚ there was a log with six or seven toads. They were the largest toads I had ever seen. I came to take a closer look. I noticed the spotted white and blue pattern on their backs‚ which probably meant that they are venomous. And although I always carry a switchblade with me‚ like a swarm of swifty

In my English 102 class‚ my professor inquired us to write a story concerning Halloween. When being asked this question‚ a story popped into my head about the time Halloween was ruined for me. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday when I think back to my childhood. Halloween makes me think of a lot of great memories‚ hayrides‚ trick-or-treating‚ and dressing up. As a child‚ I loved the feeling of being able to dress up and get candy‚ but that has been distorted. As a child‚ I have always

Creativity continues to be a difficult word for me to define succinctly.
