It was a hot mid July day, reaching a high of 104 degrees ,and I wanted nothing more than to play a game of volleyball with my best friend Audrey! We were home alone, so easily Audrey and I thought we could beat the heat. The heat was so unbearable that we decided to play volleyball in my living room, which was absolutely forbidden at the Mckinney household! Since my mother was not home, I decided why not? I mean my mother would never find out, right?

   Audrey and I decided to pass the ball. Being the professional volleyball players we were, of course we weren’t going to break anything. One of us must have forgotten to knock on wood before we started this intense game of volleyball, before we could yell ,”mine” to claim a pass, much less do anything about it, my mother’s favorite vase was shattered into a million pieces. The guilt started to set in, and I knew we had to do something to fix it! I could only think of all the trouble I would be in, as soon as my mother stormed in the front door. The mission for a bottle of super glue then began, what a rare and precious item to find. The bottle of supper glue was very vital for any fun plans I had this week! I couldn’t imagine the sullen look on my Mother’s face, when she finds her beautiful vase in a million pieces! I had less than an hour to fix this! I wasn’t going to let my mother down, not today!

   Audrey and I rushed to mend the vase as much as we could! As I was wiping the sweat from my brow in the final seconds of my mad dash to fix my Mother’s beloved vase, I heard the creaking of my front door. Before the door was completely open, Audrey passed me the last piece of the broken vase! In marched my Mother, we quickly hid the glue, to hide our evidence. We hid the glue, and sat down on the couch. The couch had never felt so cozy, then in that moment, but I was still hanging on the edge of my seat. The guilt made me anxious when it came time to pass the ,” Mom house inspection!”

    My mother lurked around the house, like she always does. In that moment the worst possible thing could’ve happened. My Mother saw the vase, and if looks could kill this would come pretty close! Needless to say, I think my best friend and I realized that we should have just been honest about breaking the vase. After all ,honesty is the best policy!

“New York is always a good idea,” said Audrey Hepburn.Indeed it is , New York captures alone captures the essences of culture and has in store the best experience you can imagine.

One thing I love about New York is all the different cultures living in one city. Perhaps if we went on a field trip to New York my classmates and I would be able to catch a glimpse of of the wonderful culture of New York City. Manhattan alone is home to Chinatown, Little Italy , and so much more . In my opinion it is good to see most of the cultures . You never know you might pack up and move to a new place, and you would like to be able to know a little of where you are going.

New York is quite an experience ; you might even call it one of a kind . In fact of 8,564 who saw the Manhattan sky line 7,103 said it was excellent. Also New York is so far away it is just the experience riding over there. But be careful because the real fun starts when you get to new york. I mean it’s New York, the Big Apple , City of Dreams who wouldn’t want to go.

“I love you New York,” said Audrey Hepburn. And i’m almost certain that i will too, because of all the fun we will have getting a glimpse of culture. Just the experience would be good enough for me!

“Throughout my life my mom has always been the person I’ve looked up to “ – Josh Leaghham . I admire my mom because she is a caring person and a spiritual guide in my life.
I love my mom more and more everyday because she is caring towards me and everyone around her . Everyday she takes care of me by supporting me no matter what and standing by my side. One day my mom and I went to town to buy my sister a birthday present, and found this huge birthday card so we got it and filled it with pictures ,like a scrapbook .
My mom has always been there for me not only as a mom but a spiritual guide. For example she always takes me to church every Sunday and Wednesday night .And tries to pray 752 with me. Which is when you pray 7 times a week by your self, 5 time with your family ,and 2 times with a commitment partner.
I feel that my mom will always be the person i look up to .Because she is caring and a spiritual guide in my life.
