1. It was cold and damp that late afternoon at my house. I went to the barn to saddle my horse and felt a chilly wind pick up. I noticed that the ground was a little wet but didn't think too much about it. I got on my horse and loped him to the roping arena to the south of the house. Just as I was getting ready to rope the calf, my horse stopped and slipped on the mud. He fell over backwards on top of me. My mom had to drag me out from under him. I had to go to the hospital and found out that I broke my pelvis. I was scared to death. But after about two weeks I was able to walk pretty good with crutches. 2. I was at a rodeo one day in late September. It was so hot that the animals were sweating just standing there. The air was so thick that it was hard to breath. I had no idea it got that hot in Oklahoma. I noticed my horse was sweating really bad and acting like he wanted to lay down. I had him tied to the trailer …show more content…
One day I took my dog to the dog park. It was a cool day at the park. The dog park has lots of trees and a stream running through it. My dog loves it there. That day, however, he did not. I was letting him run through the stream and play in the water when all of a sudden a big black dog came out of nowhere and attacked my dog. I didn't know what to do. Finally, I grabbed a bowl that I had brought for water and filled it with water from the stream and threw it on the dogs. They finally quit fighting. 9. I decided to climb the big oak tree in our back yard one day. It was after school and the weather was very nice. I was bored because my friend had to go to a doctor appointment. I started off climbing fast and wasn't paying any attention to where I was climbing. As long as I could reach the next branch, I kept on going. All of a sudden the wind picked up and was making the branch I was on sway back and forth. I looked around and noticed that I was almost to the top of the tree. I panicked and froze. It took at least an hour for me to get back
7. Today, I went to the beach to look for whales. I thought I saw a whale, so I took a step forward to get a closer look. I didn’t see the crack between the two rocks and I slipped and fell down a hole. I couldn’t get out! The next thing I know, it was high tide! I was so nervous and the hole started to fill with water. There was no way I could get out and there was no way someone would see me. Next thing I know, the waves crashing at the back of the crack were so strong that they came back the other way and the strong current pulled me out of the hole. What an experience!
Taken a 10-mile uphill hike in the blistering heat to reach the top of a waterfall, then cliff-dived off said waterfall
As I stepped out of my Jeep the hot air hit my face. The sun was high over the lake and the birds were singing their beautiful songs. The smell of clean fresh lakes and wet grass filled the air. The air was thick and humid for a mid June day.
Snorkeling in Hawaii at night to see the manta rays twirl and flip underneath us as they feed anxiously on krill, was once in a lifetime experience. To end the night you may think I had a restful sleep or a walk along the beach…. No I ended up throwing up all over my brothers in the back seat
rainstorm, and was positive one was coming. The wind started to howl, so strong that it
One day a few kids were walking down the road so I thought it would be cool if I told him to jump into a river, I even knew that he could swim, so he did. When he started to drown I realized that he could die so I jumped in and got him out. He forgot that I told him to do it and was thanking me for saving him.
Had the opportunity to go to the Dr. Dog concert on Saturday Sept.13th and I have to say I was impressed. With the release of Dr. Dog's album, B-Room, I've become a recent member of the dog pound. I arrived late roamed around eating and missed all of the warmup acts. Talked to more than a few folks at the concert and it appears it was my loss for the feedback was all positive.
Okay, ready, set jump, I repetitively say feeling my heart beat through my chest. Edges have always been a fear of mine while looking down at a 23-foot drop into icy blue waters. During the summer, I took a trip to Action Park, with my travel camp, Teenscape. Since I have never been to this amusement park, I did research about this park. I was struck with terror, after investigating the park, and learning of horror stories of peoples’ deaths at this park.
I layed there alone. I crawled on my injured knees and in front of my about 30 meters infront of me, I say a sprinting monster run at me. It was a zombie. I tried getting to my knees but it was tough to stand up.
Introduction/Present Maverick turns two years old on January 26th. As I get ready for his birthday, I start to remember all of the memories I have had with my dog for the past two years. The memories that I share with Maverick will always share a special place in my heart because he was my first dog. I will never forget the first day with Maverick and how crazy that day was for me, Nick, and his family. Exposition/Past
My dog Cassidy jumped onto the bed, bringing me back to my reality. The massive dog landing right on my stomach,"God damn it dog!," I threw her off tensing up every muscle in my body as she whimpered. Poor thing doesn't even know what she's done wrong I think petting her golden fur. My mother knocked on the door as I pulled down my sleeves, "Lacey you need to take that poor dog on a walk.
Stepping out of Port Authority, I watched the city for a moment. I absorbed everything. I missed the town for the several months that had passed since my last visit. I smelled the toasted, sugary nuts from street vendors, I heard the cab horns honking, I watched people cross streets all together in a mob, as soon as the red hand changed to a walking person. I listened to people saying hello, and people saying goodbye to each other outside of the bus station. I watched a cab pass with an ad for the Chicago Broadway show on top of it. I knew that I was finally back in my favorite town.
My hands flew out in front of me to steady myself, the rough gravel touched my hands. My mind was racing with thoughts, I should’ve been more observant of where I was going! My mom rushed to me and made sure I was okay. I felt scared, but from then on I was more cautious of where I was
I missed. I ran, jumped, and landed behind her, but enough to get us both going down the hill. She's flying at warp speed, and I'm there on my rear end chasing her. All of a sudden one of the ramps that the kids had made so they could catch air with their sleds, maliciously jumped in front of me, not my sister, and I hit it, hard. I'm not in the air, and I see the snow going faster us the hill...when...WHACK! My face hits the snow. I eventually make it to the bottom of the hill, on my eyelids, but ran the rest of the way home, I run into my house screaming that my nose was torn off from the sledding "experience" and my mother just laughed hysterically. She said, "Erin, your nose wasn't ripped off! It's packed with snow." After this incident, the family went out to get our tree.
The light from the sun reflects off the pure white wall, illuminating the room. The dust floats, undisturbed by the empty house. This is what I see as I launch myself out the door, into the hot summer air, into the sounds of playing children.
