Cancun 2008: Everything Was Gone
My dad, my mom, and I were going snorkeling. How fun would that be? I didn’t know, but I found myself looking over the pictures hung up in the snorkeling office. In thirty minutes, we had been hoarded aboard a huge boat. We had been instructed to pile all our bags right in front of [...]
Cancun 2008: Forty Feet Down?
I really don’t like anything that could possibly hurt me, even remotely, even if a loved one (like an annoyed Dad) is urging me to do it. I was extremely scared when I was told to swing a rope that looked as if it was going to crash straight into the wall, just for fun. [...]
Cancun 2008: Diving in the Carribean
I fell backwards into the water. I hoped my oxygen tank wouldn’t bang on the boat, but more importantly, I hoped that no part of my body would bang on the boat. We were seemingly in the middle of nowhere. There was only a gorgeous dark blue ocean, it’s hue a blissful turquoise. The sky [...]

Previous post in the series A Brownsville Story: Tricked. continuing from previous post: As I was standing outside looking at the ducks, a golf cart zoomed by.

The Brownsville Story: Tricked
Part of the series A Brownsville Story. Previous post in series: A Lesson Learned. After I had calmed down, I went out for a little walk. Little walks almost always help. As I was walking, I saw some pretty birds in a tree. There were so many pretty birds and ducks in Brownsville, and they’re [...]
The Brownsville Story: A Lesson Learned
<< The Brownsville Story: A First Timer (series) The next morning, Derik knocked on my bedroom door. I wanted to go out with him, but I was feeling horrible. “Wanna come, sport?” He asked. “I can’t,” I grumbled unhappily. “Well, okay. Stay at home.” When Jenny woke up, she came over to where I was [...]
