The little girl who lived in the forest

Standard

I live in a forest, surrounded by many trees, and animals. My mom tells me not to go out into the forest because It could be dangerous. I completely ignore her and decide to go see for myself. I needed a way to leave the house and go into the forest with my mom knowing. I know, I will tell her that I’m going to pick up fruits for a meal. My mom totally bought it and now i’m off to explore the forest. So far it’s really nice. I’m dressed up as little red riding hood, who is a favorite story character of mine. Hopefully I don’t run into a big bad wolf, that would suck for me and my mom. I continued on my adventure until I got tired from so much exploring. I found a nice big and smooth rock to rest on. I did my best to stay awake but eventually I fell asleep. When I woke up the sky was dark and so was the forest. I didn’t know my way back home and began panic. I wandered all night trying to get back home but I couldn’t find home. I miss my mom and should have listened to her when she told me not to go in the forest. It was getting very cold at night and I curled up in a ball to warm myself up. The next day I woke and found the floor very soft and warm. I didn’t know what I was sleeping on and I didn’t care. I fell back asleep and felt a heavy breathing. I opened my eyes and saw a bear sleeping next to me. I didn’t want to wake it up and make it angry, So I slept next to the bear until it woke up and left on it’s own. I can hear the bear beginning to growl. It got up and starting charging at something. I saw the bear chasing a baby deer. It caught the deer and began to eat. I was so shocked to what was in front of me. I got up and ran away as fast as I can, Hiding behind a tree. I peeked around the corner and saw the bear finishing his meal. I walked away and heard my mom calling my name. I yelled back and followed her voice. I caught up with my moms voice and saw her standing on top of the hill. My mom was yelling my name telling me to not come. I was confused as to why my mom didn’t want me anymore. I apologized to her for disobeying her. She told it was fine, but I should stay where I am. My told me to not come home. My mom left me all alone at the bottom of the hill. I didn’t want to disobey her again, but I needed to know why couldn’t come to my own home. I went up the hill to where my house was saw my mom inside cooking food. I walked up to the house and was tackled down by something very large. I screamed and my mom heard me. She went outside and tried to get the bear off me. The bear got off me and then began attacking my mom. I saw my mom being ripped apart. I ran into the house and grabbed a frying pan and struck the bears head. It got off my mom and ran away. I saw my mom, who was lifeless. massive amounts of blood spilling out from her. I tried to pick her up, but my arm was cut up really badly it to lift her up. There I saw right in front of my eyes, my very own mom dying and it was all because I didn’t listen to her. I didn’t want to live with out my mom. I called out for the bear to come back and when it did, I charged at it. The bear struck me with it’s large claws and I was knocked down. I crawled to my mom’s body and laid next to her. everything was getting blurry and my body was in pain. I couldn’t move at all.

Running crew comes home late.

Standard

Yesterday the running crew came to the park 8:45 which was later then usual and it was already dark outside we all planned to meet back at the same spot at 10:45. I ran alone, like I always do and when I got finished with my first lap it was 9:30 and so I did another lap, and when I finished with my second lap it was 10:20 and so I decided to leave it at that. Even though I can run three laps , I decided to stop at two because I didn’t want to make everyone wait for me. The time was 10:40 and someone was still missing from the group. We waited for another 10 minutes but he didn’t show up. A member of the group went to search for him and when he left the first missing person came back and now we had another person we had to wait for. I now realize that everyone, including myself should have access to the time so something like this won’t happen again. I could have have done 3 laps the entire time I was waiting.

High School Graduation Speech

Standard

I would like to give a special thank you to everyone that stood by my side and didn’t give up one me when they could have. I really appreciate your hard work and if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have come this far.

I remember a time in my life when I vision of my future and how it would turn out. I was determined for that vision to come true and didn’t want anything to stand in my way. I was planning on graduating High school at the age of 18 from there on have a life I dreamed about. However I did not graduate at the 18. I went back to high school and was set to graduate at 19 years old, but I did not graduate and from there I decided to just give up on school. I became a drop out. I wanted to graduate from high school but I was afraid of going back and failing all over again. When I left for California to live over there I saw another opportunity for myself. A chance to start over and making something of myself. I, however did not change and my depression followed me. I didn’t want to work or go school and spent my days locked inside my room. I only came out for special events. My family didn’t like the way I behaved and I couldn’t blame them. I was told that my family in California didn’t want me living in their house, that they want somebody who was lazy, who was doing anything to help out, and they were right. I came back to Seattle and spent the days going to the Orion center for meals and the library to use my laptop. I was at the Orion center when my teacher saw me and told me to re-enroll for High School. At first I was hesitant about going back, But then I thought about my past and saw how much struggle I had and told myself all the struggle was because I was a quitter and on that day I told myself that I wasn’t going to be a quitter. I was going to go to high school and graduate and nothing and no one could stand my way. I told myself that I was going to be someone important in life and yesterday I did become someone important in life. I became a High School Graduate. I Know that this isn’t the end of the road for me and that many more obstacles would stand in my way, but I’m not giving up and no one can tell me otherwise.

Read A book (DailyPrompt: Terminal Time)

Standard

You’re at the airport, your flight is delayed for six more hours, and none of your electronic devices is working. How do you pass the time?

I was heading back home for the holidays. The sky was sprinkling snow, which didn’t bother me at all. I liked the snow, but was praying it would go away and not get worse. I didn’t want my flight to be delayed. The weather didn’t change when I paid for my ticket. I sat in the lobby waiting for my flight to be called. After 30 minutes of waiting it was announced that the snow was getting much worse and that my flight would be delayed. I pulled out for my cellphone and was disappointed to find it was low on battery. I looked in my luggage for a charger and couldn’t find one. At this time I used what I had left of my battery and called my family and told them that my flight was delayed. My phone died and I had a laptop but didn’t want to take it out in front of everyone. I walked around the airport and stumbled upon a bookstore. I was so happy that there was a bookstore. I loved reading and forgot my book back at home. I went into the store and bought the same book I was reading before. I didn’t want to read the book in the lobby, so I found a coffee shop and bought a cup of coffee and sat down at a table. I began reading my book and drinking my coffee. The announcer informed everyone that the delayed plane would arrive in 1 hour. I was so into the book and comfortable in the coffee shop that I didn’t want to leave. My flight was called and I left the coffee shop and boarded the plane. I kept reading my book on the plane and finished as soon as I landed. My family was waiting for me and in their hand was a gift. I opened the present and found the same book I had already finished. I showed my family my book and we headed to the bookstore and returned for another one.
