This quiet and quaint town known as Mt. Holly, NJ is where I grew up. Nestled in the outskirts of New Jersey’s capitol, is known for its small town charm and historic roots. Living here was the best years of my life. I grew up in a part of town that once housed the military families from Ft. Dix and McGuire Air Force Base, which is now known as Joint Base.
I was waiting in line at the Rockin Roller Coaster at Disney World, and I had butterflies in my stomach. The line was so long and when people got off they looked very shaken. The tunnel that led inside of the Rockin Roller Coaster was really dark inside, and the music was really loud. When I was waiting in line I really wanted to tell my mom and dad that I did not want to ride the ride anymore, but instead I said, “Have you ever ridden the Rockin Roller Coaster before?”
“Memories of our lives, of our works, and of our deeds will continue in others,” eloquently spoken by Rosa Parks. I have grown and had a stellar time in 5th grade. I have gone to places I have never gone to before. I have done things I have never done before. Three of the most memorable moments I had in 5th grade was going to Catalina Island, going to the California Science Museum, and reading “Shoe Dog.”
In this Country Life 1904 article the friend who “bagged 110 lbs” is likely Mr. Battelle from the Toledo Post 1885 article above: M askinonge in Blackstone and Crane Lakes average from 14 lbs to 35 lbs. A good angler of my acquaintance bagged 110 lbs of maskinonge during one day, the heavy weight of the fish caught bringing up this large total. One hour is often spent in fighting these fierce fish, and even a 14- pounder will make things exciting for 45 min. No fish in the world can give more sport to the first- class angler than the maskinonge.
Shama Laguerre The first time I heard about Palm Beach Atlantic University, was about a year ago. The excitement I had was unbearable, because I just knew that in my heart that this was the school for me. I decided to do my own research and I went online on the school‘s website and the information that I found greatly increased my interest in the university. I was born in a tiny Island called Haiti, I remember going to church as a little girl three times a week in Haiti.
I am from the nights curled up on the couch watching shows that we get way to invested in. From the fluffy brown hair of my brother that could be mistaken for a skyscraper or my loving mother that undoubtedly cares about me. From the days we’re my filthy dogs come inside and make us filthy too. I am from the memorable, lively days that I wish never ended or the days that we can’t stop laughing and we don’t even know why. I am from the grassy fields, of which I play my most memorable games.
When youre a kid everythings new, dawn. Its just when you get used to everything that its day. Like the way you dig sunsets, Pony. Thats gold. Keep that way, its a good way to be.”
As life flowed along my friends and I grew older we all changed and eventually went our separate ways, but still, once a year my friends and I recall our golden memories of childhood while scheming our next great
The transition from the fantasy world of children to the adult world is “the beginning of sadness” (24). Although it is quite unusual to think that a ten-year-old would think this way, he recognizes that this transition
Do you ever feel like it was just yesterday when you were a kid playing in the park with your friends without a care in the world? This poem discusses themes of growing up in what feels like the blink of an eye and not knowing where one wants to go in life. It additionally touches on that unshakable feeling that everyone around you knows exactly what they're doing with their future but you're stuck in this state of disorientation and longing for the past. “Don't Blink” by Brooklyn Thompson expresses the fear and anxiety surrounding growing up so quickly using shifts, powerful diction, and vivid imagery.
I chose the inner coastal plains as my place to move. I would like to live in that region because there are a lot of activities to do with my family and the weather is wonderful while I have enough resources to survive off of. Some resources from the Inner Coastal Plains that would help me is wood or timber from forests. The wood could be used for furniture. Another resource I would use from the plains would be coal.
Screams pierced through the salty, muggy, California air. Intimidating rides towered above me, even the thought of riding them terrifying me. Thundering waves crashed as a backdrop for the “Belmont Park” sign that was touching the clouds. Excitement and anticipation coursed through my veins. Though my palms turned clammy and we made our way through the never ending line to get our tickets.
I can see myself enjoying creamy pasta and warm breadsticks in Italy or climbing a palm tree in the Bahamas to get some fresh coconut juice, but the stern mother that controls the temporal lobe of my brain usually responds to these ideas by saying, “Girl, you better have the money for that.” She’s right, the older that I’ve gotten I’ve realised that money is often required for a lot of things. But I don’t just want to have money for an adventurous journey, I also want to to one day buy my mom a house, a red washer and dryer (she loves the color red, our entire kitchen is red), and a Michael Kors handbag. It’s all frivolous materials but I just want to give my mom as much as she’s given me.
Standing at the end of the Silver Beach pier, I can almost feel the tension growing and intensifying as the waves rise up and up, and then suddenly collapse and slam against the side of the pier heads. The waves rise and fall, rise and fall, but they never stop rolling. Whether they are growing larger or tumbling down, they never stop. The never ending movement of the waves reminds me of my relationship with my family. We go through obstacles like every other family.
Three of us. We were the only ones left, the only ones to make it to the island. We started out with eight people. Ben, Rick, Jim, Ryan, James, Robert, Peter, and me. It had all happened when Ben dared us to go to the lake and take the ferry to the island in the center about five miles away from the shoreline.
