I gazed at the deep blue ocean, the waves were swirling along the ocean floor. I was bound to depart Salonika in 30 minutes, which would be my fifteenth voyage. Then, this strange boy walked past me, he had rugged clothes, ungroomed hair and had eyes exactly like my late grandmothers; which had brought back many memories. I was born on April 30, 1913, in Macedonia, Greece. I was the only child and my Grandmother was the only one there to help my Mother give birth to me, as my Father was heroically
How To Stay Married!! Wife Role: As a wife I enjoy playing my role, I don’t take being married for granted. If it had not been for the Lord, on May 3, 2014, a night that will never be forgotten, Wilson racing was at the starting line at US 19 drag way. It was father against son, Larry Sr Verses Larry Jr. this particular night just about the entire family was there. In the blink of the eye, chaos happened, a terrible accident at the end of the track not knowing whether it was my husband or my
the mirror– they reminded me of red traffic lights. Still looking at my reflection, I repeated her words in my head: “I’ll be back to visit soon, don’t worry. It’s only for a year!” Knowing her dictatorial mother, who was always fulfilling her own personal agenda, I assumed the worst– she was not coming back. Talia, my best friend of 6 years, was moving to South America and she was not coming back. We met on the first day of 5th grade. As the new kid, I didn’t know anyone, so I awkwardly sat in the
Mother was already running her old games with humans to lure them in and then give them over to her. After she killed El I didn’t trust her with anything and I knew if I risked my heart to another human at least she would try and destroy the relationship before anything could happen. Mother was always selfish and wanted her ‘children’ all to herself but we were more her robots that followed orders under her reign of terror. In the early eighteenth century the youngest of the Vordenburg family left
If I were to tell you that my nephew had been born earlier this week, how would you respond? Most likely, you would congratulate me and ask me for details about the new arrival. From the outside, it seems like something exciting to celebrate. However, if I were to elaborate and tell you that my nephew had died a few hours after birth, your response would change entirely. Excitement would shift abruptly into mourning and empathy. From one point of view, situations can appear cheerful; but from another
I choose to attend the first football game that occurred in the beginning of the year. I decided to attend it because I’ve never been to one. My high school had a lot of football games but I never went to them because I didn’t have a lot of friends in high school. The friends I had didn’t wanted to go with me so I never got to experience a football game until now. My high school was a big hockey school so I got the chance to go them in high school. The hockey games were a lot of fun. Everyone in
“Ready,” as I look to the left of me. “Set,” I look to the right of me, but i stopped in amazement. As I looked to right of me i see the most beautiful girl sitting in the bleachers, as I stare at the angle I hear yelling. “Chad, say HUT!” and I snapped back into reality. “Set, Hut!” I yelled. We had to make the touchdown, we must win. This was the last game of the season and if we win this game, we are undefeated. I see my best friend David in the in-zone wide open
Saving someone other than yourself in a terrible situation is not something everyone thinks about doing, but in this case Stefania not only saved herself but 13 others, and they all lived. Stefania didn’t plan to save all those people it was more a spur of the moment thing, and not only did she help them by getting them food she saved every last one of them plus they all lived to see more days. In life a lot of things go unnoticed, the courage and unselfishness of her mind at that time should not
As we grow up we start losing the eagerness to make new discoveries, take chances, and learn new things, we try to avoid getting out of our comfort zone as much as we can. I personally believe that sometimes the things we don’t really expect to happen can become beautiful memories. I was just seven years old when I got some unexpected news that would give my life an exciting turn… I was born in Mexico City but at the age of three, I moved to Cancun. I was raised in a family where the bible is something
She’s my Superwoman The loud high pitched beeping goes off at 4:30 every morning Monday through Friday and never is never silent from sickness; thirteen hundred kids are relying on her. In 15 minutes, she showers, brushes her teeth, puts her hair up, and is out the door. She doesn’t wear, or need, makeup and the curling iron maybe turns on twice a year. Her skin is soft and porous, but you’d never guess she’s 44. She comes in my room every morning, gently places her hand on me while I sleep and
