What do you want to have? says McDonalds cashier. I 'll have a ten piece chicken nuggets with a root beer, I say. It was another dark, rainy day in San Francisco. We came off to have our dinner just before we went to the basketball game. Homeless people were all around the McDonalds ready to cash in their daily earnings on their dinner. I felt a sense of uneasiness walking back to the table, hoping nothing remotely odd would happen. There at the table were my three friends Will, Chris, and Richard. Will is a short for a guy his age and has a fairly high pitched voice as well. Chris was a tall, strong crewman from San Francisco. Richard was an skinny medium heighten freshman whom was living in San Francisco for one year. When is the next bus …show more content…
The bus that just stopped a minute ago was the bus we should have gone on. The next bus comes in twenty minutes, says Richard. The girls basketball game was going to start in thirty minutes so we had to devise a plan. The only way we can see the girls basketball game is if we walk in the rain to the game, says Richard. It pouring with rain on the streets of San Francisco with no sign of stopping, with no overhangings around to stop the rain. How long of a walk is it, I ask. About fifteen minutes, Richard says. We then discuss our options again while right beside the McDonald 's. We should take a vote, says Chris. All in favor to walk to the game say “I” Everyone says “I”. We started walking at a fast rate going across streets. We come across a stop light and overlooking us is a large hill. Most of us were wearing sweatshirts which instantly got drenched. Futhermore, we decided the only way we would get less drenched was by moving fast. When the light turns and allows us to cross we start jogging up the hill. Chris almost slips with Vans which don 't have enough support in the rain or running. We then finally make it to the game laughing about how crazy the journey was through the city in the
Dunaway had drove the ball over the shortstop 's head and had rounded second, it had been a close play, so she slid into third. The umpire, strong and confident, stood up and called her out. Tears rushed down the young girl 's face, as the coach, coach Dalfino, yelled at her saying, “This is no circumstance to cry.” The athlete had walked off of the field, limping in pain.

With the support of their families, William’s and Arthur’s motivation to accomplish this goal led them to fantastic high school basketball careers. From viewing the film, I found that I share William’s and Arthur’s determination. William, for his entire high school career, braved a 180 minute round trip commute to school and back. He spent three whole hours almost every day in transit to attend one
The bus looked more like a subway train. It didn't have any wheels. Instead, in hovered slightly above a metal road. When the bus took off, the teenagers looked out the windows and they saw people who looked like humans, as well as reptile-like creatures. There were also little green men with black eyes and big heads.
Suddenly, it begins to hail, but the weather condition does not diminish, it gradually gets worse. As time goes on, the hail gets larger and larger until each hail ball is the size of a baseball. The bus is being smashed by
Through all the disturbance, brights lights, and traffic, a bus drove past and stopped. She looks at it and seems to have recognized those numbers before. She quickly scrambles in her purse and reaches for the receipt that she was given at the airport. It seemed to have been the same exact number that appeared on the bus. The doors of the bus creaked open and the bus driver motioned for her to go onto the bus.
He had ten minutes to get to the bus stop, even though it was only a brisk five minute walk away. He liked to allow time to tie his shoelaces if they became undone and extra time to pet any passing dogs on his
I order two corn dogs and a soda. For being on the highway, the food tastes pretty good. I sat with my roommates for the next four nights and we ate fast so we could get back on the bus and to Washington DC as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we did not end up getting back on the road for about 45 minutes thanks to the long line to the smelly restrooms.
Yu Jie picked few more lego pieces and constructed a vehicle. Yu Jie said, “Bus!” Both smile at each other. When the teacher asked them where the MRT and the bus going, Li Xin replied, ‘MRT..
Allen lined himself with the basket and the free throw line. Allen slowly squatted and reposed for a second and shot the ball, following through with his hand the basketball embarked in the air with backspin and landed perfectly inside the basketball hoop. The man next to Allen’s court looked at him and began to walk to him. Once the man came up to Allen he asked “ Do you want to play a quick 1 on 1?” Allen responded with a nod to assent the man.
“NO_NAME” the sign at the top of the compartment read. I was confused and decided to step outside to see where we had stopped. When I peered out of the doors that had just opened, I saw a train station I had never before. The station looked a little more modern than all the ones we had been to. It had a futuristic looking sign with a screen that read, “North Carolina -> New York 5hrs”.
Beneficiaries called to ask me if I wanted to perform community service at a cathedral in Dallas, TX. I agreed because I like to volunteer in any event when it is needed. This event was called “Feed the Hunger,” which I signed up for and looked forward to because of my desire to lend a hand and assist the needy and unfortunate. At first, I thought this event was just one of those other community service opportunities that I am usually called to facilitate and volunteer my time. However, in the end, this occasion was a life-changing experience.
I check my watch as I race to catch my first ever Austin Metro bus home. My metro bus ride to school in the morning proved disastrous. Taking the southbound rather than the northbound bus had left me confused while waiting for the return bus and embarrassed while explaining the reason for my late arrival to school. It 's 4:33. Oh man.
I peered out the window as I took off my raincoat. The rain pitter pattered against the pavement softly, creating a lulling sound. I shook my head, fiercely trying to concentrate so that I didn’t fall asleep. I still have video games and homework to complete! The rain has always been a thing that could put me to sleep at the drop of a hat, in fact it’s my favorite weather.
