When I was younger, I wanted a toy Indy car that was that had a beautiful red and white pattern to it. I wanted it so much I would have given an arm. Begging my Aunt to buy me one, and she finally gave in. I didn’t have the money for an Indy car so I made a deal, to where I would do chores to pay her back, so I wash the dishes and I smash cans and dust. While I am trying to pay her back, I ask for some other items as well. So I started having to pay her back about 60$ worth of items. I started to wash her car and other people’s cars. I washed trucks and vans I even washed a remote controlled car, but it still wasn’t enough. I gave her an iPhone 8 and an iPhone 7 but it still wasn’t enough. My birthday is coming up and my Aunt said that the
If you know my sister, you know that she has a tendency to make our car, Yolanda, come in contact with objects it shouldn't come in contact with. Within twenty-four hours of having her license, she already ran the front of the car into the garage and this collision was only the beginning to her and Yolanda’s adventures. Between the dents, scratches, and broken mirrors, my dad was starting to get tired of fixing the damage that she caused to Yolanda. Finally after countless repairs, my dad decided that there should be punishment for every time he had to repair the car. First, he started with just not fixing it all together but that backfired when my sister smashed the side so bad that she couldn't latch the driver door. After fixing the aftermath
When I first got married, my husband and I were struggling to save money to purchase a new family car and a home. We constructed a strict budget to meet our financial goals and began learning the trade of bargain shopping. In addition to our expenses, our son was diagnosed with severe food allergies, which required him to eat a special diet that is double the cost of regular food. During this time, my father, who was experiencing unfortunate circumstances pleaded with me on a regular basis to lend him cash. On one occasion, my dad asked to borrow $250.00 to send my sister on a school choir trip to Vermont, promising to pay it back. After discussing it with my husband, we decided to lend him the money so my sister would not miss the opportunity. A few months later, my stepmother called from Advanced Auto Parts asking me to give the clerk my credit card information over the
A calm crisp breeze circled my body as I sat emerged in my thoughts, hopes, and memories. The rough bark on which I sat reminded me of the rough road many people have traveled, only to end with something no one in human form can contemplate.
I remember, pushing my small hands and face up against the glass of the small pet enclosure at Pet Smart, for hours and hours, taking close looks at which Hamster I wanted. My mother kept on pushing me to get different, cute and cuddly short haired hamsters, But i knew which one i wanted. A overly playful, ginger, long haired, snaggle toothed hamster, he had a saber tooth that went through his upper lip. For some reason, i found him cuter than any other
One day, we saw our neighbors across the street selling a four-wheeler. My dad seemed interested in buying it. About a month later we bought the four-wheeler and promised our neighbor we would pay him monthly until the four-wheeler was payed completely. We were excited to have something new to drive.
Ashleigh doesn't really like her mom, but she still would like not to get in trouble. Ashleigh's father reassuring her that her mother would never find out made her more confident in the plan. Asheleigh was almost positive that her father would pay the money back, and her mom would never find out the money was gone so she decided to ‘borrow’ it. Ashleigh's father made her feel very special, she likes her dad more, and he promised he would pay her the money back, so she decided she would take the money. Ashleigh's father manipulated her by making her feel special, and making promises that would never follow through. Ashleighs dad knew her and her mother's relationship wasn't very strong, so he took advantage of that. Ashleigh knew that her father was in need of money, and he had no job, and was considerate of that,s o when the idea of taking money came up, she wanted to help him if he could. Ashleigh made a big decision, and that was to take the money because her father made her feel special, she like him more, and he promised he would pay her
On the Monday October 27th, 2014, for the first time in 4 years I did not wake up at 5:30 in the morning, I was not putting on a green skivvy shirt and shorts. There was no formation, no one that was higher command I had to report to, telling me where I had to go, what time I had to eat breakfast, what was I doing this day or what our platoon plans were for the day. There were no PT (physical training) I had to do this morning. Instead, I woke up grab a regular t-shirt, khaki shorts, and my two sea bags full of clothing and gear that I collected during my time in the Marine Corps. I threw everything in my vehicle and drove from Camp Pendleton, California to Quincy, Illinois. Within two weeks I was accepted to Southern Illinois University Carbondale. For three days, I stayed at the
As I walk into Hazen and begin my high school journey I think to myself what I want to accomplish when I leave. Hazen is like the older sister I never had, someone who you hate occasionally, but look up to and pushes you to achieve your personal goals. As I walk through those Highlander doors I was immediately surrounded by the brightest minds, talent, and innovative bunch of my generation. Each one unique and each one having something special to offer, and I soon realized that I want to leave high school like I was never leaving. By making the most out of my high school experience I want to gain maturity and the satisfaction of knowing I made a difference in my school and community. By becoming a member of the National

One sunny afternoon my friends and I decided to go on a road trip to a small resort. We packed everything up and decided on the way across the Wisconsin Bridge that we all wanted to go to the Wisconsin Dells. This car ride was about to be long because not everyone in the car gets along.
At the end of every week, my mother would get payed and always wanted to give me half of the money because I did half the job but I could never take that money. I would feel so bad because I just wanted to help her make that job easier for her. She always complain about me refusing her money because I helped her for what she would get payed for and me not excepting it would make no sense. I told her she needed the money I would have not needed used the money for good use.
Here we are, 13 years old me. It was summer, in 2017. My friend Bryan and I were going into eighth grade, and starting to look at relationships more seriously. Bryan wasn’t really into them at this point, so when a girl started to like him, he didn’t care. We met this girl named Krista, from other friends. She was 5’3”, pale, funny, and caring. Krista immediately went after Bryan, doing whatever she could to make him happy. Bryan finally had to tell her how he actually felt. After doing so, she came to me. Looking for comfort, in which I gave her. We both started to catch feelings after talking for a week or so. Then one night, everything changed. She was mine, and I was hers. We had gone to Panera for a “first date” and we had a blast. We sat next to each other, I had my hand around her and her head was on my shoulder. I don’t think I had ever been so happy in my whole life. All I could think was, how did I, pale, short, athletic, and crazy, get a girl like that.

Still until now I don't think of giving them up just like that, because those toy cars mean alot to me, they kept me entertained troughout my childhood. I always like to jus get them out of the box every now and then just to remeber how they feel and how they still loo. It takes me back to a kid whenever I get the toy cars out of their box.
It was a cold morning. Dark and rainy. I woke up at 3:00am, packed the last items, and left to the airpot to catch my fight. Arriving at the airport got me quite excited for this vacation (I had no idea what was in store for me). We checked in, got food, waited for the plane, boarded the plane, took off. On the plane, I sat next to my cousin who was a few years older than me, thinking it wouldn't be so bad - oh boy was I wrong. Not only did we have to deal with our annoying sisters, we also had: an elderly lady needing to use the restroom every 10 minutes, a crying baby infant of us, and a little boy who love to kick the seat. Finally, the plane landed in, the ever so beautiful, Florida. As I thankfully got off the airplane, I went to go
