If we just stay as kids

That time I was younger, littler, but stronger than now. At that time I could fall down as many times possible, but in the next second I would be standing again. Is strange how people grow up, but can become weaker than before, that day I could almost die in that beach with that deep blue in my vision but right after I standup again and repeat the same thing. That was my first Surf experience, I made surf classes in Praia do Rosa with my brother while we were in our family road trip, from that trip the words “don’t stand in your knees” echoes in my head all time when I’m trying to surf or seeing someone surfing. The just one thing you can’t do when you are catching the wave. But I also can remember the perseverance I had that time. My family always made a road trip in the final of year to South beaches. The car was always our purple Ford Ká, bags always were at the foot place, at that time I and my brother were too small so we only slept …show more content…

What was different about this travel? this year my father didn’t choose the beach where we were going before. The travel was very long. Sleep in the car is normal for me, I have headaches to be in any vehicle, this trip was just impossible to sleep all the way. To make the time pass, I played with my brother. At that time we were just kids, “imagination” it was our favorite game, was just imagine being in a different world, it made us stronger and made us think that we could do everything. We didn’t even close our eyes, looking to the car’s window we could see different things happen, a new world and new types of life. Kids don’t have too many worries, don’t have to see what’s real or not they can just go straight and ahead, if something happens there is no problems you can go and just do what you want. I was always jumping away, skating, rolling, I didn’t have fear of fall down and if I felt, I would just stand and play

Abraham Lincoln once said, “The ballot is stronger than the bullet.” Though he never lived to see the changing of the social structure in the South, his idea was taken as a vital element in the Reconstruction and caused differences between Andrew Johnson and the Radical Republicans with regard to fixing the South. Even though the Reconstruction ended tragically with African Americans becoming second class citizens, it became an inspiration for the Civil Rights Movement that emphasized on asserting the political, social, and economic rights of African Americans using nonviolent strategies a century later. As mentioned, there were major differences of the Reconstruction plans between President Andrew Johnson and the Congress. Johnson’s plan

Initially, I had no idea as to how long we were going to live in India for, but by the third year, all I wanted was to come back to New York. Everything in India was just so different, convoluted and fruitless; just because I was American, I was treated differently–both negatively and positively. Peo I didn’t like India because of how corrupt it was.

Although I didn’t know what to do, there was one alternative left to me since I had a brain to think. So I thought while I was breathing heavily, twisting and turning and screaming, and I just decided to put my head down and try to let the rocking created by the giant and the big, black bear soothe me, but that was the impossibility of the century because to think and to try to relax on a roller coaster let me tell you now, it’s impossible!
