The Wolverines needed a field goal to win the game. “Axe I can’t watch!” I wanted to cover my eyes but I couldn’t. The entire stadium was on their feet. The ball was snapped, the placeholder caught it, and from there everything went into slow motion. He placed the ball on the ground, spun the laces outward, the kicker ran up to the ball and kicked it. The offensive line blocked the defense; the ball soared through the air, end of end. Goosebumps covered my skin, it looked like it was too wide.…

Horrible Hometown Highway Music was blaring, windows were rolled down. The cool seven am morning breeze hit my face and tousled my hair. The words of the song I was listening to flowed through my body and moved me. I was screaming every word because that was “my favorite song.” The sound of the gravel crunching underneath the tires as the road drug on and on for what felt like hours. Darkness surrounds my sight, my body goes limp. My life flashes before my eyes as I see bright lights appear…

Trembling, my hand grips the old, unsteady doorknob and as I turn it, my heart skips a beat. The wobbly door creaks when it opens, and darkness fills my eyes.

My knees are shaking, feeling like they are about to collapse. I’m not sure if my heart is pounding because I am nervous or excited.

As the big, metal gates slowly open, I balance myself back on my bike and begin to slowly petal forward. The crowd of what it seemed like a thousand people, along with…

Grateful My grandpa has always told me how lucky I am to be able to attend such a great school. It never came to mind why he would always say that to me when I brought up school. It wasn’t until I really saw what it meant to attend a good school and live in a nice home. I never thought of the importance of being employed or what happens when your parents aren’t able to provide for you. I never realized how to be thankful for my life until that day. I woke up early and put on my pink skirt…

I hear a small buzzing as a small black insect whirls around my head twice then glides over to the smooth blue wall. No bigger than a pea, my companion is a dark fly who must have breezed in through my open window on the soft April winds. As my glance meanders from my blank computer screen to my new friend I slowly make a realization and a small smile forms on the corner of my lips. That seemingly insignificant bug and I have a lot in common. I too was once but a fly on the wall. Upon entering…

Every family has a place that they like to go every year, and my families place is Ontario, Canada. We drove and drove and drove and drove and drove for days!
