Snowboarding
Snowboarding is my favorite sport because it gives me a big adrenaline
rush, and it gives my legs a great workout. Avon, Colorado, is a
good place where one can get great snowboarding action because there are
a lot of competitions held out there.
Reading
Reading is fun because it lets me escape from a hard day, and it allows
me to go into a world of relaxation. My favorite types of books to
read are science fiction and mysteries.
Volleyball
Volleyball is important to me because being on a team makes me feel
like a strong person, and I like competing against others. I love
playing on my school’s volleyball team because the girls on the team are
fun and encouraging. My volleyball team has become like my second
family

Do you want to know the best
way to have fun? For me it’s listening to alternative music.
I like all different kinds of music, but my favorite is alternative.
When I was younger, I really liked the oldies. I could sing every
Beach Boys and Beatles song you could name.
As I got older, my taste
in music changed. I started to like music that had a fast and mellow
beat. For example, alternative music can have a quick catchy beat
or it can be really slow and snappy. Sometimes alternative music
sounds like a mix of Rap and Rock. I usually listen to the slow alternative
music when I’m having a bad day or when I’m feeling sick. For some
odd reason, I like listening to the quick Alternative when I’m studying
for a test because it helps me concentrate. Right now my favorite
band is System of a Down. You should check it out sometime; you might
like it.
Broken Silence
Entering quietly into the
massive structure that is lined with statues of religious figures, slowly
I followed the sweet smell of incense down the main aisle. Hundreds
of rows of pews and only one person seated in the front. A large
box covered by a white cloth is beside a crying figure. A large cross
lies on top of the white cloth, and a faint stale smell surrounds the box
roughly the size of a body. I look up at the altar, startled to see
a picture of a familiar face being illuminated by a flickering candlelight.
I go up three steps and reach the table to get a better look. I close
my eyes in disbelief and open them again, but the same face is there.
The picture is of me. Can it be? I turn to face the sobbing
figure. It is my close friend wearing all black and his head hung low.
