The adrenaline pumped through my veins. My heart was beating so loud and fast. There was the ball‚ held in the referee’s hands‚ about to be thrown up into the air. 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

December all the way to the beginning of July is where I get to watch my project grow and develop. As soon as the herd sees me stumbling down the hill‚ they race to the gate and acknowledge me with bellers. Many of them fight to the front with their broad shoulders‚ as soon and I step foot in the big open doorway‚ I then smell of fresh bedding and manure fills the air. There are green gates hanging up on the side of the barn to my right and cornstalk bales right in front of me. The first two lots

The window directly above me suddenly opens and I freeze in fear. “Why are you opening that window? It’s out in the back hall!” “Well‚ I thought we could leave the door open and have a nice breeze flow in.” An older man around his forties replies. I hold my breathe until his I hear his footsteps fade away into the other room. Of course‚ I could get

My favorite place is my grandfather’s log cabin in Leakey‚ Texas. It is not fancy or anything special but it is my home away from home. I helped built it when I was very young and I go there any chance I get. The 4th of July is the best time of the year down there. The cabin is located on Saddleback Mountain. The cabin looks grey and black because of all the weathering. The front porch is huge and you can see the mountains and trees for miles. We normally go out in the mornings and watch the sunrise

”‚ their voices scream in my head. To me‚ it’s all bullcrap. Look at where it got us. No world peace. No safe haven. I look and see emptiness.The city is empty‚ quiet‚ and lifeless. I thought this would end all wars‚ but it’s much worse. Instead of helping people. It infested them… Before all this I was a Navy Seal fighting on the front lines. I was sent to Russia to retrieve TOP SECRET stolen government plans our military needed.

We played against higher level teams to make us better‚ and that was the hardest thing to do. We won every single game in the past five weeks‚ and all of those games were for the President’s Cup. “This is what we worked for‚ this is what we’ve been waiting for‚ waiting for our talent to reveal itself‚” says my coach‚

We stop at a stop light in a town right outside of Panama‚ we roll down the windows and you can smell the salty ocean water. We are finally here after twelve long leg cramping‚ neck hurting‚ and back wrenching hours in the car. It was all worth it though just thinking about getting your toes in the tan hot sand. Once we were finally in the city and driving down the strip we rolled down the windows and just admired the view of the ocean and all the waves crashing in. I couldn’t wait to get to

Ideal Vacation My family had always looked forward to leaving the valley during the torrid summer months. You see I never really had an actual vacation‚ since my father had been gone for eight long‚ dreadful years. He was sent away to a prison thousands of miles away‚ in Florida‚ when I was only six years old. My loving mother talked about ancient vacations we took‚ but I was too young to remember. My father was back home and he was as healthy as a young doctor. It was now summer of 2010‚ and I

smell of musty river water enters my nose as I took in a breath of fresh air. The sight of my dogs chasing each other like 2 high-speed bunny rabbits hopping around in a continuous circle wasn’t anything unordinary. Walking over to the immense grey dock‚ I look over the choppy‚ greenish-blue water and see all of the wake boarders’ struggling to hang on to their ropes‚ and falling down the river like unstable dominoes. While I sit down at the edge of the warm dock‚ my feet touch the icy cold water a
