I was in the 6th grade, my friend Michael and I were going to the Ann Arbor Ice Rink. Michael had short brown hair combed to the left. Michael had been wanting to learn how to skate for a long time, so today was the day I was going to teach him. ¨Are you ready to learn how to skate¨ ¨I am worried that I will fall and break something¨. ¨Don´t worry you will be fine¨”. ¨Even if you do fall, you will not break anything, hopefully¨. ¨What¨! We got to the ice rink. Michael and I put on our skates and went into the rink. ¨If you are having trouble moving then go to the left corner and get the walkers¨. ¨I don't think that I can make it over there without falling over and breaking every bone in my body¨. ¨Then just suck it up¨.…

complex, and it stretches almost from floor to ceiling. It depicts religious figures such as the Virgin Mary and Jesus. In both, there was an intricately carved wooden pulpit, depicting angels and Jesus working one of his miracles. The enormous scale of the churches and the grace of the architecture leave me in awe. The next day, since I’m feeling better, I decide to practice. So we walk to the ice rink, which is quite a ways away, but overall, the rink is nice, with a warm café sitting a floor…

i’m going to the ice rink with some friends. It is a warm day in Dallas, Texas and I need to cool off before heading to the rink. I stop at a gas station to pick up a few things. I have a taste for pizza. I arrive at the nearest gas station in search of the savory delicacy pizza offers. Most people find it strange but I prefer mushrooms on my pizza. I walk in and the cool air hits me forcefully. I don't have the patience for frozen pizza, though it’s so hot out I could probably cook it on the…

There was something very exciting about skating on a block of ice with wet clothes, bruised knees, and frost-bit fingers. It was also extremely heart-warming for me to see my mother and uncle reconnect and make up for lost time over stale french-fries from the concession stand. This sentimental moment was interrupted by a hand on my back, pushing me onto the ice. I was able to pick up my head just soon enough to see my brother laughing as he made his escape. After we had all eventually lost…
