Have you been sledding and suddenly at the top of the hill you see headlights? Well I have! It was dark outside. My four other friends were over, and we decided to go sledding at my neighbors. We were all at the bottom of the hill when suddenly headlights glowed at the top of the hill. That's how my story started. It was a dark, cold night after basketball practice. The rest of the Fab 5 (Elizabeth, Lillie, Maddie, and Delaney) were over. We all really wanted to go sledding at my neighbors, so we did. We drove the ranger over to their house, and walked up to the door. We knocked but no one answered. We just decided to go sledding because I know the people that lived there wouldn't care. We then walked over to the hill and began to have fun. We all had many wipeouts on our sleds. We all went down at once. We …show more content…
I was hoping for a puppy. We went downstairs, and I was so excited but also half asleep. The first thing we did was we opened our stockings. I got a bunch of candy and other little things. Then I opened my first present. It was a new light switch plate. I really liked it, but it didn't match my room. Then I opened a new bed spread. It was gorgeous, but it didn't match my room. My last present, at least I thought, was Dancing with the Stars tickets. I was really excited! Then my parents said there was something in the garage. "A puppy," I whispered to myself. My stomach was in knots. But I didn't want to get my hopes up. "Come here," Mom said. I walked up and saw a new headboard for my room. I was a little disappointed, but I was still ecstatic. Then my grandparents came over and we had breakfast. My dad had made his famous cheesy potatoes. My mom had made cinnamon rolls. It was delicious! Then we all decided to go down in the basement and watch "Dumb and Dumber." It was really funny. I couldn't stop laughing. Then they left, and my family and I went to our other family's Christmas
There were 15 of us from my church all squished into two vans. While I climbed into this big van I thought it was going to be so fun to drive up a mountain, see all the appealing scenery and have the thrill of almost feeling like we're going to fall. Well…. I was wrong. Every second there was a huge bump or pothole in the road so our heads were slamming against the side of the van.
Later that evening when my parents were putting my younger siblings Anna and Michael to bed I heard a “crash” just outside our house, I sprinted to the window to see what it was and I found that it was the roof to our animal barn! “Mom, Dad come quick!” I Yelled
It was an early December morning. The roads were slick with a thin layer of ice. The air was crisp with a winter chill and there was a slight drizzle falling from the sky. I was riding in my dad’s truck to my grandma’s, who babysat me while my parents were at work. My little brother Kaden was also with us.
The drive was almost unbearable, but the thought of spending the week in the snow with family kept me going. It was only a four hour drive, but at 9 years old, it felt like an eternity. The scenery slowly changed from flat land, to rolling hills. The hills were covered in yellow dying grass, but they were still beautiful. Then we started to make the climb.
The ice cold snow melts onto my face, I laugh at myself and hope to god the people around me didn’t see that. No one was paying attention to me they all had this type of confidence and excitement to learn and grow. I stood back up and headed down the hill with all force, not knowing how to turn I abruptly put my snowboard on healedge and slammed to a stop. Little did I know I was already halfway down the hill.
My Trip to Florida It was a cold winter night in Upstate New York. My mom and dad were enjoying a cup of coffee, my sisters were playing video games, and I was editing a few pictures on my computer. My mom brought up the idea of a vacation. She said” We haven’t been on a vacation for a long time”.
The day was just after my brother’s birthday and we had just finished celebrating his birthday. My brother was more surprised, however, by the amount of snow that covered the yards outside. We both awoke to a sight much more impressive than that of December, a white landscape obscuring everything laying on the ground, including the cars. My brother and I changed faster than firemen getting ready for a rescue, as we ran outside to see the fascinating snow that surrounded our neighborhood.
It squeaked as I opened it just like every other day. I whispered at my dog “Bailey, come on, it’s time for breakfast.” She came out of my parents room slower than normal. She hobbled down the steps.
Our gifts where never wrapped and we each had our own pile. Santa always left my gifts on the right and my sister’s gifts on the left. This past Christmas was the first year that my sister no longer believed in Santa Clause. The magic of Saint Nick was gone. Even though I knew who the gifts where coming from for several years, pretending for my sister kept the magic alive for a little while longer.
As time and age inch around the corner, the items that are gathered throughout the years become memorabilia. Many of those items are valued less because there was not much love that went into making them. However, my parents are true reminders that homemade gifts are greater than any store-bought gift. Since I was a baby, Christmas has been a magical time of year for my family. There were red and green lights glimmering around the house, family members smiling, and mounds of gifts underneath the tree just waiting to be ripped open by my little hands.
In a sense, the play is a tragedy of the traditional society. It is a tragedy for the society represented by Torvald because that society had been confidently dealing with women in that manner which it regarded as correct and just. Now that a woman has suddenly given it a blow at almost its bases — the religion, traditional values, education, the institution of marriage, and so on — the society is facing a crisis, or a tragedy. If all the women, who are of course treated no better than this, do the same, the whole of the social system would collapse. And the impact would be basically the tragic destruction of the man's basis of happiness.
Me and my sister were done so we had ran to the car and waited for mom and dad. Soon enough they came and we all had gotten in the car, dad was driving mom was in the front passenger side and my and jill were in the back seats. The drive was a 2 hour drive so we were in the car for a quite long
