Waiting for My Rocket to Come Essays

My life has been consistently inconsistent since the day I was born. I have been moving from place to place, without staying anywhere for more than four years. As a result, the setting of my life is always changing, and by extension, the people, places, and experiences are ever changing. In some cases, this is pleasant, but in others, it poses problems. My life is comparable to "The Odyssey" in the categories of "Calypso" (temptations), "Athena" (helpful guides), and "Ithaca" (values and goals)

This wasn’t because we had different classes or were taught by different teachers, but rather because we had different friends and participated

another one. Lifting in the weight room after school last winter was one of the biggest benefits of my life. The big man was there, the king of the jungle, the head honcho. Now I knew almost all of the coaches except the freshmen. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I knew we were going to come out and work hard every practice. All I wanted to do was impress the coaches.

player on my team who has clearly been at the field for a while, waiting anxiously for the first box lacrosse game of the season.This is my first season playing lacrosse; a sport that I've always wanted to play but never had the courage to try, until now. I arrive at the field, my heavy bag has started to cramp my hand before the game has even begun. Most of our team is there and is already padded up and waiting for the game to begin. I quickly drop my bag and start to get dressed. As soon as my bag

and no one on base, and I was up to bat. I dug into the batter 's box and waited for the pitch. Then when the ball was about to be released from the pitcher 's hand. The lighting sirens started to “Scream”. Our game was delayed for two hours. After waiting for what seemed a lifetime, it was dark, and had to switch fields because the one we were at had no field lights. It was already 9:30 at night, and everyone was exhausted from just sitting around. Even though the sun was down, the air was still muggy

wine farm in California, he didn’t really come out that much. If you got the chance to see him it would be him doing something to his house every saturday afternoon for about eight hours. He would come out with his tools go to the back of him house and the next time you would see him it’s dawn and he’s gone. One night in particular though I woke up in the middle of the night from a strong source of light that came from my window . As I took a look

My mother and father are both paramedics. Both of them have been ambulance workers for over twenty years, and my mother has been in the health care industry for many more years. They both have a lot to say about their jobs and their experiences. Not all good. I did some research, and I came to find that compared to the regular person, paramedics face higher levels of depression, anxiety, PTSD, organisational stress, and fatigue. This is because in their occupation they have to overcome shift work

of my head. All I remember was my mom screaming, me crying, and my Dad hauling me to the car. I was 3 years old and I had just gotten shot with a bottle rocket. That was the day that began one of many trips to the hospital. There were many other bizarre trips to the E.R. after that, but this is the most memorable one. Not in a good way. There were many trips to bad places such as the hospital but there were also good ones, the ones that were happier to remember. I’ve been on many trips in my lifetime

It all started a year ago when my name got called in the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, New York. “With the first overall pick in the 2016 NHL entry draft the Carolina Hurricanes are proud to select Samual Cane.” It was a dream come true for me and for the organization and the fans. My draft stock went up throughout the year from being projected not to be drafted, to a clear number one above players like Austin Matthews, Matthew Tkachuk, and Jacob Chychrun. This was a miracle to most people, but

been a definitive part of my life. My favorite band is The 1975, an English group whose music and style has always stuck out compared to other artists that I listen to. With that being said, going to a concert was one of my biggest dreams. My parents and I had always discussed the idea of allowing me to attend one, but they’d never actually let me go. It reminded me of a claw machine. As the claw approached the pile of stuffed animals, it seemed as though it would come up with something within its

Every Moment Counts I hug her knowing that this will be our last. Tears are streaming uncontrollably down my cheeks, staining her shirt. I'm not ready to say goodbye. I don't understand why this is happening. Out all of the 7.28 billion people in the world, why did it have to be her? A few years ago, a close friend of mine that played on my soccer team moved to Michigan. We have been on the same team ever since we were too little to even understand what soccer was. The time that we
