Trump Hotel

When we went to Las Vegas on our way back from Disneyland, we stayed at the Trump Hotel. When my mom checked us in, I was thinking that we would end up on the 3rd floor of a 64 floor building. I was happy and very surprised to find the she upgraded our room from originally being on the 5th floor to room 5803 on the 58th floor! Our room was amazing. There was a TV in the mirror in the bathroom and our window took up a whole wall. It was very fun riding up in the elevator. Just like in an airplane my ears popped as we rose at an amazing speed, reaching floor 58 in about the same time it took to reach floor 7 of our hotel at Disneyland.

Forest

I am in a forest. I see trees, great tall giant pines. I cannot see anything but trees everywhere I look, only green and brown. But I can hear so much more. I hear the rushing waters of a stream nearby. Birds up in the treetops chirping softly. It's quiet. I am the only one here, but I don't even worry about finding my way out.

River

It is hot out. The praire sun is beating down on us through a cloudless sky. I am on a river boat. It is very crowded. It's a small boat and every lady is wearing a dress like it's 1886. Are all these people pioneers? Are they heading west? There are animals aboard, but the one that sticks out most to me is the donkey. Now it's a cargo boat. Oh no! I realize where I am. If I'm right...

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving doesn't really start until the guests arive, we eat, and the fun begins. Once we have eaten, my whole family gets situated and they start to socialize- the adults that is. The small children run down the stairs and into the basement. The bang the drums, sound the train whistile, and run around, seemingly never running out of energy. We all gather around and play various games such as Spoons and Apples to Apples. I smell the warm pumpkin pie as it's removed from it's pan, one slice at a time. As the marvelous desserts disappear, the TV clicks on and a movie starts playing. As night grows near, the first of the guests say goodbye, and leave. Another movie starts as more guests depart at their own pace, while the rest may stay close to midnight, but some out-of-town reletives head up to steal my bedroom. Once the last of our family has left our house we, but mostly my mom, clean up our house, then we all head off to bed.

Recess

Kids are running all around me. Around everyone. I call them kids, but they're the exact same age and grade as me. It's a cool, brisk autumn day, clouds are filling the sky. I hear the wistle blow, see everyone near and far come rushing towards us. They are now lining up. It is finally time to go inside, the cold air is nipping at my nose and bitterly biting my ears. There is a sudden rushing mob, and we are in, recess is over.

Bread

I am in my kitchen not of my current house, but a home before this time. Before everything I now know. I can smell the sweetly sensational smell from all over the house. When will this masterpiece be complete? I wander, sighing as I smell the delicious scent of cooking bread. Then I hear my mom remove it from the bread making machine. Fresh bread... how I want to smell sweet bread cooding right before me. Bread, such a simple subject, yet a completely complex and amazing smell.

Ocean

I am up in the air. Surfers are on the high waves in the ocean. I feel the cool artificial ocean breeze flow across my face. We ar sitting in a row with strangers every where. Up, down, left, right. Our ride is coming to an end. The fireworks crack, Nathan screams. we all float swiftly back down to the ground. We unstrap our seat belts, and grab our shoes from below our seats. As we exit the ride, we get right back in line again for Soarin'.

Veterans Essay

When is the Right Time to Honor our Veterans?

..........When is the right time to honor our veterans? Is the right time just on November 11, Veteran’s Day? Is there really no right or wrong time but every day the time to honor our veterans? Veterans need to be respected every day of the year for they deserve more than just a few days of honoring.

..........Veterans have risked their lives for our freedom. These brave men and women have left their families, their lives, everything they have to travel far to fight to defend the freedom of our country. So many Americans have done this, are doing this now, and will do this to defend our country. How would you like to leave your life to fight, possibly even lose your life, for other people you don’t even know and will never meet? Leaving, fighting, dying; this is not the life anyone wants to live, but fighting for freedom is what many, young and old, wish to accomplish in their lifetimes.

..........We as Americans need to celebrate our veterans more, for they not only leave their families, they sacrifice their lives. We often think of them as people who just leave our country to fight some people from other countries so we can win the war. Veterans do so much more than that. They sacrifice their lives for us. Even though we may not know them, these heroes care about us and our freedom. Veterans have seen what no man or woman ever wants to see, experienced what no man or woman ever wants to experience, but cares how every man and woman wants to care.

..........These veterans, heroes, need to be admired, thanked, and honored for their hard work, services and dedication for this country where, because of them we call this the land of the free and the home of the brave. So we say thank you to all the veterans of America for perusing their dreams of fighting for this country. I hope younger generations follow in their footsteps and realize the need of such heroes as these brave, courageous veterans.
