The night of the party when my father went to work and would not return until midnight. I remember my mother telling me that I had to return before midnight or else your father would be angry if he had found out I attended a high school party. The story of Cinderella helped me cope with my restricting father that did not allow me to do anything besides go to
One time I remember my sister and I play wrestling and the rest of the family watching. It was so fun. We all laughed and played around the house. We have something that no amount of friends and good works can fill. We have long talks about life, morals, and support.
A goal that I set for myself in the past that I did not successfully accomplish would be to complete another (third) marathon. I had set out to finish three and I have only done two to date. I could say the reason is because we moved and I haven’t had the opportunity to run, but really it’s about commitment. I am not ready to commit to the training schedule quite yet. An example of a goal I did accomplish was the finishing the first two marathons.
In 2008, right after Christmas my family had the special experience to go to the Cotton bowl for the Missouri Tigers football game. The Cotton Bowl is held in Dallas, Texas, back then Jerry's world (Dallas Cowboys stadium) was in the process of being built, so the big Mega scoreboard wasn’t there. My whole family came down to Columbia on Christmas Eve and we sang our Christmas songs together and celebrated Christmas together in my grandparents house. There was a bunch of us in that house, I remember walking down the stairs one morning and all my older cousins were back in the corner of the basement and they were all sleeping together in that space, I would crack up every time I saw that. This time after Christmas instead of all going back
I also made turkeys for old people’s homes to put on their walls in their rooms. We only made the items and someone else brought them over, so I’m not sure how they reacted, but I’m sure that it put a smile on their face. Everyone worked together
It had been three years since the Dust Bowl Drought started and it was really affecting my family. My mom, Laurie had to really work hard to support the family and help to play for house repairs that we needed after all of the storms hit. My father, Jonathan worked on the farm right behind our house to try to keep me, mom, and him fed. It was 3:00 I had just got home from school and my parents were still working. I walked inside to see what was cooking, dad had chicken pot pie in the oven.
Hard Boiled It was midnight. There was a silent sound coming from a corner in the ally way. I was a was detective on a case. I cant tell you what i was doing
Later in life I found out about the dreary life some of my friends had . As I recall my childhood maybe there was something keen about my life. Christmas morning was energetic day for us four. There was nothing we asked for we didn't receive. When discussing with friends on this day what I received always became a touchy situation.
Before I start to talk about my incident and how it began and what resulted of it, I’m going to clear up who was involved, and that would be my Arthur and myself, and the guy who caused it (not going to name is his name). A little background about Arthur; he was born and raised in Philadelphia, not the good parts of it, the ghetto part (well that’s he referred to it as). Arthur was a saint, he went to church every Sunday and was completely against drugs and alcohol. He moved to Sarnia when he was 13 with his parents and we instantly became best friends the first day I met him because we both liked the show Friday Night Lights. Anyways, it was near the end of school and Arthur and I had one final school project to finish for our English class
Have you ever had a bad holiday? This last Thanksgiving wasn’t the best holiday I’ve encountered. The vacation was four days long and it was fun, but the Thanksgiving meal wasn’t satisfying. We left Wednesday around 9:00 a.m. and got to Watertown, Wisconsin somewhere between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. The trip was better than what it usually is, we made good timing, I kept myself occupied, took a nap, and ate a good lunch.
“Thanksgiving Break” a term every middle school student remembers. A time to spend with your family, eat food and the best part, not being in school. It was a beautiful autumn day and the ground glowed with the crisp fall leaves. The leaves seemed to dance around as the cool mid- autumn air blew through them. It was the day before thanksgiving and us grandkids were at grandma's house for a fun family day.
A fiery mind and a pouting face always makes daddy stop yelling. He’s finally gone upstairs, so gathering all my energy, I sprint as fast as these pudgy legs allow while sweat oozes down my pores. I pounce up landing on my stomach; barely making it, my frazzled body flounder’s itself onto the counter. I then stand up, mission accomplished. Exhilarated, I unlock my prized possession and worship my oh so sweet victim: a chocolate chip cookie.
One day after I came home from soccer practice my mom was talking to her boss on the phone. I was wondering what it was about because my mom was saying “yes” underneath her breath so her boss couldn’t hear it. And when she got off the phone she said “boys we are going to the bahamas because I just won 8,000 dollars!” We were all so happy because we had never been in a different country before. It really paid off after all the hardwork my mom put in this to win this prize.
It's so cool to have great,fun memories I think you should know that u can have great memories doing some thing that u like or hanging out with your friends and family. So I have some memories I would like to share with you. So I have a dog and she is really sweet she can do a lot of things that other dogs can't do she has a problem with her back hip and we can't get it fixed because she had it sance she was hit by a car. We were in colorado when she was hit and when we got a call we left and went straight home no stops nothing we really couldn't cuz we had to see if she would make it and it was around thanksgiving when it happened and so we made sure to give her some food to so she has more strength in her body.
When I was around four years old, my parents wanted to surprise me with a special gift, which made that Christmas one to remember. I almost forgot that I had more gifts to unwrap because I was focused on discovering what my parents made me. I was not allowed to know what the special present was until Christmas day, no matter how many times I begged them to tell me. When I woke up Christmas morning, I was beaming with excitement, but I was still groggy like a bear waking up from hibernation.
