  • Rage and Obsession

    In 3rd grade I was writing a paper for English and when I turned it in, she gave it back and said the paper had too many grammar mistakes. I was so filled with rage that after that event I started to obsess over having perfect writing.
  • Sadness

    In 8th grade, my dog was close to dying, so my parents prepared for when he would die. I was upset when they went to put him down because I was in school, however, the doctors ended up giving him medicine so we could have a "last ride" which was very bitter sweet
  • Joy

    In the summer going into 10th grade, my sisters and I convinced my parents to get another dog. We got my current dog Ralph because he was a really playful puppy who took a liking to my mom and I. I felt extremely happy because he was an awesome dog that I found myself and he liked me when we met him.
  • Terror

    During the 11th grade football season I jumped forward to get a ball thrown to me and another kid jumped backward taking my legs out with his shoulders. I fell on my head, got knocked out and after coming to my senses I saw coaches around me, my hands were numb, tingly, I couldn't really move my toes or fingers, and I truly thought that I had either died or had just been paralyzed.
  • Ecstasy

    My family runs a 5k for melanoma cancer research in memory of my dad's family friend, and I came in 3rd place overall. I felt extremely accomplished and happy because I felt that I had represented the family and friends present at the event.
  • Amazement

    In the summer going into 11th grade I went to my first concert, Made in America. It was an amazing experience because I was with my friends and a lot of my favorite artists performed.
  • Loathing and Perserverance

    I was extremely angry at myself for how I performed during the end of the wrestling season, however I still kept going and finished out my season hopeful for the next season.
  • Ecstasy

    The Eagles winning the Super Bowl was extremely exciting, however, enjoying it with my friends and making a questionable yet exhilarating decision brought a feeling of ecstasy to my life.
