As we walked inside the dirty, salt stench, of a theme park, My sister started going nuts wanting to ride everything. My parents told her to wait a minute while they got themselves situated. Finally the part of the trip I was dreading the most, the part where I had to go ride the blue streak. The line wasn 't too long so we decided to go. I sat in the car with my sister, which by the way was a little bigger then me, so the bar that came across our lap only went up to my stomach.
Growing up in Iraq in the era between the gulf war, Iran war, and Iraq war with the United state was a challenge for me, but it was not harder challenge than all what my parents went through to keep me and my siblings safe and sound. My mother is one of the strongest people that I have came cross in my life. She was and still the best mother, teacher, and my best friend. She graduated from Al Mosul University in Iraq as a Mechanical Engineer. Being a daughter of graduated mother will always push me to complete my education and go even further to earn my master degree too.
In August 14, 1983 I was born in Fresno, California. My family consists of my parents Xao Chang and Mao Yang, three sisters Youa, Yer and Vicky, and three brothers Bee, Davis and Doua. My family originally lived in Laos before they fled to Thailand by crossing over the Mekong River. After 2 years of living in the refugee camps in Thailand, my grandma was the first member of my family to immigrate to the United States in 1976. Followed by my parents and their relatives, 2 years later.
Entering the once lonely house, there was a family rejoicing with a long-gone relative. As striking as the first rose in spring, her silky, soft, shiny hair combined with her enticingly exquisite eyes: producing a sublime look. Her upturned nose, oval face and elegant cheeks exhilarated hope within anyone in sight; she filled a void that could only be filled by her. Instantly ejecting any ridicule of the family, her presence made the household regain its original nobility. Spiralling into circle after circle on the indigo walls, like an optical illusion, numerous twirling lines were being contained in a plethora of thin liable cracks; suggesting, this house is enriched in Pangaea-old traditions.
“The rumbling of the trucks was the first thing I heard in the morning. Then some shouting, but it was still muffled. Mama had ran to where I lay on the cot under the burlap blanket she had made. She started yelling, which she never does. Aus dem Bett aufstehen!
The most boring day ever. “Sweet, I got a quad feed” I called out. I was playing Call of Duty with my best friend, Bobby who was 12 at the time and my brother ty who was only 9. As for me, I was 10. I was very skinny and boney
1: “Where are you from?” Just about everyone has been asked this prosaic question, for it is a common introductory question. However, my answer to this question is by far the least common. While some people reply with, “Oh I am from Lexington, Kentucky,” or reply that they are from another city in Kentucky, I reply with, “I am from Stavropol, Russia.” A lot of people are taken aback in awe when I tell them that I was adopted from Russia.
It is the year 1918 and I am still living with my dad, mom, sister, brother, and my Labrador Retriever. The Great War or The War to End All Wars just ended a few days ago. My family and I live in St. Louis, Missouri. The war has affected everyone in the world more than likely. I know it has affected everyone here in the United States.
BORN ONTO NIGHT Government had already used army before my birthday. Guerilla warfare was haunting the sleeps of people. Citizen had to fear both revolutionary and military. National Strike were like the Saturdays, regular holidays. I have seen the killing by government at the same night I started my schools .With
1945 August 2nd Hiroshima Japan. I was only 18 when the sun bursted into my eyes and found my little sister screaming Akio! Akio! “You have to drive me to school! I’m going to be late!”.
Ellie’s body could not tell the difference between hot and cold from the days of running the in freezing cold. “How was I to leave this warm blanket?” His body was at such a state he thought the snow was warm. I am surprised he did not get frostbites and his fingers and toes fall off. People did not have sufficient clothing to survive the weather, and yet they covered twenty kilometers by running.
I wake up to a sudden rush of cold winter air on my face. I open my eyes but for some reason the world is still dark. I shut my eyelids tight and try to force color back into this cold world. I open my eyes a second time. The world is still mostly dark but I am now seeing foggy blotches of white.
From the moment I was born I was considered a military brat, I was born in Hawaii at tripler hospital because my mom was in the army and stationed there, my biological father was in the marines. When my mom remarried when I was 7, she married a man who was in the Navy. Everyone thinks being a Military brat just means you know more than other people because you 've been more places and seen more things and you get a lot of stuff you want. This is not true at all. Coming from a military background means you never have stability, you are held to a higher standard than all the other kids, and sometimes it makes you want to be in the military and only focus on that.
Cheering is when you learn and execute a few cheers as well as perhaps a quick dance, some fundamental leaps, stunting, or tumbling. In cheer, one group would work on dances and cheers while the other might focus on jumps, stunts, and tumbling. To put on a superb show, you will have to continue despite errors and incredibly uncomfortable situations. A cheerleader should possess the following qualities: self-assurance, leadership, an excellent memory, and courage/versatility. What abilities and foundational elements are needed to become a good cheerleader is the real question.
