Both were tough mentally and physically. These activities were done with hard work being applied. When hard work is being applied you can accomplish anything. The ride to Bodega was one the toughest and fulfilling rides that I have been on during my brief biking experience. On the way to the beginning of the steep

It was a glorious day at the beach that day, The sun was shining, birds were singing; days like these were meant for fun. I had arrived that day with my aunt and uncle whom with I was staying with for the week. I strolled toward the water’s edge, my bare feet
luscious vegetation near a coastline of cream-coloured sand bathed by gently splashing waves. It would slowly come to rest at a straw-coloured rectangular hut showing sight of several different-sized boats and yachts. The gap through a window would display many fishing rods, surfboards, flippers, diving suits and other sea-related equipment. On top of the window, chalk-written would be the words ‘Avalon Harbor’. A wooden sign flimsily inserted in the sand would say, “Welcome to Catalina Island, CA.” The
Ode to Hawaii Discussed and found in this paper, you will find, how I have appreciated you from the time I started staying with you. I have come to an understanding of you, Hawaii.

While sitting on the beach looking into the ocean, rubbing the sand and enjoying the beautiful weather at Cabana’s beach; in beautiful Hawaii on the west side of the island of Oahu is a blessing. Listening to “Hawaii 78” by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole at midday at three-thirty pm sparks a sense of uneasiness to a Native Hawaiian, Who are my ancestors? Who is Israel Kamakawiwo’ole?

James Arthur, Shawn Mendes, Alessia Cara, Adele and Demi Lovato. What do all these artists have in common besides singing…they all inspire me in what they do. To get things started, my first inspirational artist is James Arthur. James Arthur was born in North Yorkshire, England on 3/2/1988. He recently released his new hit single ‘’ Say you won’t let go’’ To me his song is perfect for three reasons, one is the fact that his voice really puts his emotion into a love song. I feel he puts all his emotions

The Assassin - Short Story Orange headlights flashed past his face, fading like forgotten dreams. The night held stillness in its arms, which was thick enough to walk on. A slow creeping chill stalked through the air, threatening the onset of icy rain. When he looked up, the dark mysterious clouds told him that they promised to cry more tears tonight. A few more cars flew by. Driving, in the dark country tracks, became dangerous when the rain to falls. He knew some cars would skid on

The show starts at 8pm. The time was 7:30, I was just leaving the house, and it was raining. My wife and I had to hurry because it would take almost all of 30 minutes to get to the “The Boogie Woogie Christmas Show”. Feeling pressured to get to the show on time I started to feel frustrated. When we got there, it was still raining. We go in, get the tickets, and seat ourselves in the middle of the middle row.

I was issued the dictum “go to school or get a job”, at which point I became the world's greatest advocate of off-season learning. Besides, I was only fifteen and the workplace just wasn't ready for me. So I thumbed through the course book, singing a chorus of no's until I arrived on the Debate and Public Speaking page. There resided a large photograph of a boy confidently standing behind an ornate podium, clearly frozen in the middle of some captivating and influential argument. I read
