I take off running, the small weather smoothed rocks from the cliff dig into my feet. As I near the edge of the cliff, my fear causes a rush of adrenaline to course through my body, but I continue anyway. In the last moment, I looked down at the water barrelling towards me at a speed that could only be seen from first person view. I followed through with my decision and I jump off the cliff. The cold water pushed between my toes, my hair floats lifelessly around my weightless body, the frigid water nips at my skin making it numb. Pockets of air rush towards the surface, as if looking to escape the frigid prison that it trapped within. I stay beneath the surface for but a moment. During which my lungs begin to scream out for fresh air, grasping
I can be certain Cliff Worth intentionally didn't fill the toilet paper on Thursday, Nov.13, 2016 because when i used the same bathroom at 6:30 am and 1:30 pm two toilet paper dispenser was empty.When I covered his routine Friday the same toilet paper were empty plus 22 additional toilet papers i
He tied his boat off and started to climb the cliffs. He knew that no one had lived to tell what was behind the cloud, but still he climbed. His motivation was to prove everyone wrong and come back alive to tell what was behind the cloud. The chances of living are very slim. There is many dangerous things that can happen,but still he climbed the cliffs with his bare hands. He was almost there and all of the sudden a branch cracked. The sound of it made him look around to everything that was close. A tree branch was under him, but he didn’t notice at all. The top of the cliff was so close and finally he reached the top. The sound of paws hitting the ground caught his full attention. He stood up fully on top of the cliff and he watched in horror as one
The span between the surface of the water and the top of the cliff was three hundred feet high. The profile of sharks could just barely be seen circling in the murky brown water. My toes hung off of the side of the cliff loosening pebbles from their resting place and sending them plummeting to the shark infested cauldron. My swimsuit seeped frigid droplets of water down my legs. When my friends shouted up to me their voices became whispers barely audible as the wind screamed across my ears. I felt as if I was about to collapse from anxiety.
The time I tried something was when I was eight. My dad, Mommy Tami, my sisters, my brothers and me went to greece fairy.
Most of your posting was geared towards something I mentioned in mine, and I couldn’t agree more. How exactly do we combat the nature of warfare used against us for the last 13 years? How do we counter the ruthless tactics? Using women and children as shields and weapons themselves, seeking shelter in mosques, suicidal tactics and IEDs? Up-armored vehicles and better equipment will only go so far, and while we’ve made huge leaps in the realm of modernizing our force, I don’t believe it to be enough.
For many, their formative years have a large influence on who they become as adults. This can happen in many different ways including new experiences, discovering a new sport or hobby, and uncovering what they are passionate about. For me, this was falling in love with a new language from a very young age and becoming very interested in the culture that was associated with it.
Luke Wilkinson had always dreamed about climbing The Cliff but had never truly thought he would ever have the chance. Until one day when he had gotten fired from his job at the bakery, no he wasn’t the baker. His job was to give samples of their different varieties of sweet or plain breads and then he would have to stay after work to clean up. The problem was that he was always forgetting to lock up after he left ,there had been many thieves and Mr.Rufa was not going to risk having his precious breads stolen once more. Luke was walking down the street trying to figure out how he was going to make money to survive,when he saw a sign that was advertising a chance to win one million dollars!
In the year of 2012, when my son and I went to go visit Grand Rapids,Michigan. I can honestly say that is a trip i will never forget!. In the month of November,a couple days after Thanksgiving my son dad and I decided over the phone, it was time for a visit to his home town.. We traveled two days on the bus just to get there, so many new cities we passed through, it was amazing!. All the beautiful views we passed, was excellent,its was like nothing we ever seen before. Passing through so many cites and the views that I couldn't resist looking at and taking pictures of. St. Louis the city of Missouri, the city that caught my eyes..." Oh" how wonderful it was getting to pass over the bridge getting to see the Gateway Arch it was amazing!. It seemed like forever for us to touch down in Grand Rapids,MI but when we got there all eyes was opened, snow was already falling like crazy an the month of November.
Day six was here and we were waiting for the Doctors to make their rounds to us. They came in and told us they were going to hook a pacemaker up to Mason's heart and try to get it started back in rhythm. We waited for the procedure to get done and they said now we wait. At the end of the day they tried taking him off bypass again, nothing had changed. My heart was breaking more and more by the second. The Doctors said they would meet with us again in the morning. We had spent the night in a Ronald McDonald room in the hospital that night to try and get some rest and decent shower. On day seven, May 23, 2010, we headed up to Mason's room. The doctors were already in there and I could see smiles on the nurses and the Doctor's faces.
I would have never thought my lonely, dark, cold, and miserable days would become heart warming, sunny,and enjoyable. it all started when I learnded what "society" thought being happy was. I became infuncataed with the idea of loving someone and being loved, but never thought about the repercussions. I only thought about being loved and motivated by someone else that was deeply in love with the idea of me. No-one seemed interested with that Idea and once I realized that I saw the world as a dull, black and white picture that was only painted with skinny paint brushes. Since i was only 15 at the time, at night i would pick up my cracked white iPhone 4s and began listening to music. I found myself listening to Tink somebody to love me and Tank
Imagine a world where people don’t have a say in what they want to do. They do not choose what they get to do because their gift of personal freedom is nonexistent. They can’t choose their own classes, friends, sports, etc. I love having the option of choosing what I get to do, and if I didn’t get my own personal freedom with wrestling, music, or hunting, I would rebel.
As a russian female life has its simplicities along with its tedious complications. Life has treated me well as i now find myself in my elderly age looking at the many achievements and my greatest triumph my children. I found my childhood to be less than ordinary as it consisted of me being an only child and really not interacting with people the way others did. I always found it to be hard to socialize with people at my local school and in turn i didn't have many friends. But that didn't stop me from excelling and performing at a superior academic level. I worked very hard through grade school absorbing as much information as i could. All this hard work would prove to be worth it as i ended up valedictorian of my class lined up for a full
People go through ups and downs in life and those changes cannot be predicted. Every detail of a person's life influences them in some way or the other. The result could ultimately be good, bad, or a combination of both. However, in one's lifetime some events are more significant than others. Choking drastically at a state level math competition definitely influenced my life in unimaginable ways and was a low point in my life. This inspired me to improve based on those results. Since that happened to me six months ago, I realized how this event changed my life and totally changed my perspective on everything.
We have all experienced transformation in our lives, and this transformation is solely up to us as to whether we want to preserve and embrace that trait, or move forward towards a greater goal in life. Just like Berry (2000) detailed, I can proudly say that I have lived through the “dangers, toils, and snares” that life has thrown in my direction (p. 467). Each proposed aspiration and objective has been altered in some form or another, and fortunately for me, I have left God in charge with my future outlook on my life. As we journey through this experience in my life, we will be exploring the elements of surprise which include the unpleasant and virtuous portions, and also a glance at how these transformative elements have molded who I am
When most people look back on their childhood, they remember their innocence and natural curiosity. They remember how they ran around the playground not knowing an entire universe exists, waiting to make people’s lives hazier, quieter, and less colorful.
