Symbolism

      It was a freezing winter night and Taylor had no where to go. He was in a part of town which he had never seen before. This was odd because he had a pretty good familiarity with the town having been living on the streets for the past 2 weeks. There were no cars, street signs, or stores in sight. Something deep down in Taylor knew this night was going to be different. He waited and waited for a car or even to see a phone booth. But, there was no hope....until a gust of wind zipped by him from a passing car. Taylor started chasing the car in hopes of it stopping. Thankfully, the car saw Taylor out of the rearview mirror, and backed up to him.
      In the car was a man and a woman. They rolled down the window and asked, "What are you doing out here on a freezing night like this?" Taylor responded shivering, "I have been on the streets for 2 weeks and got stuck out here. I am lost and hungry and thirsty." The couple immediately filled with sadness said, "Jump in the car, you need a good meal and a warm house. We are on our way to the next town, but you can stay with us a couple days." Taylor could not show his thankfulness enough. Not only did they save him from being in the middle of nowhere, but they saved his life.

The man and woman in the car are a symbol of comfort and love. They were the guardian angels of Taylor, saving him and offering their house to him.

Fall Break Free Post

       Fall break is definitely one of my favorite breaks. It is a great break from school to relax and have fun. This past break, my mom and one of my friends mom surprised us with a trip to New York for our birthdays. We were both super excited and could not wait until we got there.        We had to get up at 3:30 Thursday morning to get to New Orleans to catch our flight. After the short plane ride, we did not waste any time, we jumped right in to doing things. We shopped the first day and went out to dinner for an early birthday dinner at the Sugar Factory. The next few days, we spent in Central Park, Little Italy, Brooklyn, and SoHo. Also, we went to see Hamilton. It was awesome! Overall, I had a very fun fall break and got a good break from studying and homework.

Kayaking

        This summer when I was at camp in Washington I went kayaking in the San Juan Islands. On the last day, there was a huge channel we had to cross. It was 6 miles long. On the channel, there were ferries, boats, and sailboats all crossing. Also, it was the most popular time of year for boats. To top it off, it was about to rain so the currents were even stronger. Aside from the currents and traffic, the water was crystal blue and the wind was blowing off the chilly water so the weather was perfect.        My group and I started on shore on the other side of our destination. We took a long break and then decided to cross the channel. The kayaking guides instructed us where to point our kayaks to break the currents. Once we started the adrenaline kicked in and we started to paddle through. At points, it felt as if we were getting pulled backwards but we kept having to paddle strongly. The best feeling was when we made it back to the harbor and...

Summer 2017

        Summer is by far my favorite season. I love everything about. This past summer the first thing I did was go to the beach. I went to Destin with a couple of friends. Destin is by far my favorite place to go because my family has always gone there. One of my favorite things to do is drive into Seaside or Rosemary and eat and shop there. The rest of June I hung out with friends in Baton Rouge, went to cheer camp in Monroe for school, and went to the beach once more.          July was definitely the most exciting. The first few days I spent packing for a family trip and camp. I was going to a camp in Washington and Oregon, so before my family dropped me off we went to Seattle for a couple of days. It was super fun, we did city stuff and went to see one of the mountains near Seattle. On July 8th, they dropped me off at the Seattle airport where my group for camp was meeting and we said our good-byes. The camp is not really a traditional c...
